Cont4S Integrator File attachement
The Cont4S Integrator allows to add objects in the SAP system via BAPIs or recorded transactions from Microsoft Excel. Regarding the default SAP system, attachments can be saved and linked to its objects (master data, documents), which opens up numerous use-cases. For example, it may be important to link a blue-print, specifications for a material or an invoice file for a Financial Accounting document to the object. The possibility to provide such attachments directly in the interface is now available with the latest release of the Cont4S Integrator.

A worksheet can be generated from the Excel engine customizing at any time. Such a template can be saved and used over and over again.
The example on the right shows a template for journal postings in Financial Accounting (FI). The journal posting documents for outgoing invoices are being prepared in the worksheet. Each of them has a file assigned to it, which needs to be uploaded, via hyperlink.
Direct feedback from the SAP system in the worksheet
The user automatically receives feedback on the progress of the saving/posting processes after the data has been transferred to the SAP system.
The application log provides an overview of the entire course of action and is transferred to a new worksheet in the source file In the example, the attachments were correctly linked to the document.
Key fields of newly created objects in the SAP system are automatically transferred to the required section of the source sheet, where you can see the whole information of the key fields like company code, fiscal year and document number of each of the documents.
