3664699 - Attachment validation for Purchase Requisitions and Purchase Orders

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, users are unable to determine whether an attachment has been uploaded in Purchase Requisition (PR) or Purchase Order (PO) screens or make attachment upload mandatory or to add validation logic that checks whether an attachment exists before saving or submitting PR/PO documents.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Access the Create Purchase Requisitions/Create Purchase Order Advanced apps.
2. Attempt to validate whether an attachment is uploaded in PR or PO.
3. Observe that there is no functionality to make the attachment field mandatory or validate the presence of an attachment.

This functionality is not supported in the standard scope of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

Attachments are managed separately via the Attachment Service (Generic Object Services - GOS) and are not directly linked to the procurement BAdIs or standard business object structures. Hence, the system cannot validate or enforce attachment requirements during PR/PO creation or update via standard configuration.
