3532323 - Header Attachment Not Included in Print Output for Purchase Orders in Advanced App

Symptom

When printing a Purchase Order using the Advanced Purchase Order App, the header attachment associated with the Purchase Order is not merged or included in the final print output. This issue persists despite the attachment being correctly added and visible within the Purchase Order in the app.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the Create Purchase Order - Advanced app.
  2. Open an existing Purchase Order or create a new Purchase Order.
  3. Attach a document (e.g., PDF, Word file) in the Header.
  4. Save the Purchase Order and ensure the attachment is visible and successfully linked to the order.
  5. Go to the Output of the Purchase Order.
  6. Check the output of the printed document and notice that the attached file is not merged or included in the final print.

Cause

When the flexible workflow is switched off and a Purchase Order is created, any attachments added during PO creation will not be included in the first output.

Resolution

Firstly make sure that the HDM configuration is correctly set in the system:

  • DMS (Document Management Service), available if HDM (Harmonized Document Management) is activated. DMS attachments are available on the Documents tab. To work with DMS you must activate HDM (Harmonized Document Management). As configuration expert, navigate to the app Manage your Solution    Configure your Solution   R&D/Engineering   Project Control and Product Development Foundation   Activate HDM for Attachment Object Type or search for the SSCUI ID 105346.

To send the SL1 documents (attachments) in the output, it is necessary to either modify the PO or manually add a new output to trigger the attachment's inclusion. The system does not automatically merge attachments into the initial print output.

In the Manage Purchase Orders app, attachments are merged and included in the print output as expected, without requiring manual intervention.
