How to Automatically Expand and Print Attachments in SAP 4.7 Smartform Paper

Question:

Looking for ways to set up your smartform paper to automatically expand and print attachments as PRT documents or task list BOM items in SAP 4.7? Wondering if anyone has successfully configured this feature?

The standard SAP platform does not include the desired functionality. To address this, we integrated the Work Order Print Manager application from www.prometheusgroup.us into SAP-PM. This tool efficiently gathers all related documents, PRT's, attachments, and more, streamlining the work package creation process. It is a user-friendly solution that is quick to implement.

Absolutely! I managed to configure this feature in SAP almost a year ago. The first step involves enabling the spool parameter rspo/store_location to let SAP link attachments automatically. For the Smartform setup, try using a secondary window container that references your BOM field as an expanding area. And for the PRT documents, consider activating the "Print Control" in the PRT master Data (Transaction IA05). Also, check the OSS note 153282 (though it's more for document type DRW). I hope this helps somewhat, but let me know if you have any more questions.
