Extending GOS with Create Multiple Attachment

Overview

Intent of this blog post is provide a working prototype for additional GOS service to upload multiple attachment together in one go.

Business Requirement

Some time it is difficult for users to upload 7-8 documents in GOS using the option ‘Create Attachment’, as the same steps needs to be repeated several times. So users require a new option ‘To upload multiple attachments from GOS’ to avoid repetitive steps.

Solution

To add a new service in GOS toolbar. we need to add an entry in table ‘SGOSATTR‘. Since we are gonna create option for multiple attachments. Below steps indicate how to add new option in GOS for multiple attachment as ‘Create Multiple Attachment’.

3. Now click on the ‘Copy As’ button/F6 next to ‘New Entries’ and update it according to below image. Update the ‘Name of service‘ as per you and mainly update ‘Class f.Gen.Service‘ to ‘ZCL_GOS_SERVICE‘ new ABAP class from T-code ‘SE24’ and update the ‘Next Service to ‘RESUBMISSION‘. Make sure to unflag both ‘Control‘ and ‘Commit Required‘.

4. Now Double Click on option ‘BARCODE‘ in the table and Update ‘Next service’ option to ‘PCAT_CREA_M‘ this is the name for Service ‘Create Attachment Multiple’, so that it is visible after the ‘Enter Bar Code‘ option under ‘Create‘ option in GOS.
