Uploading picture to the material master data

[Zoom]

Hi friends,

I'd like to learn if ECC 6.0 could only itself is able to this. I mean is ECC 6.0 enough to add pictures to material master data or is there any configuration or customization requirement for that?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Try through Document Management for material master (Additional data->Doc data), it might be possible to link CAD or design drawings, not sure abut pix. Please try integrating through DMS.

Hi Zoom,

Yes, it is possible to store images to the materials. here you have at least 2 options, DMS and GOS.
DMS is document manament system, here it is even possible to classify the images for a better search. GOS is generic object services which is available in the maintenace transactions for material master and several other objects. Pretty easy to use, but....you cannot search for the images, you always have to go into the material and fom there you have to open the GOS to see whether an image exists or not.
further you should think about the place where you store these images and other attachments, I mean in SAP table system or in an optical disc system linked to SAP, which is much cheaper diskspace than the SAP tablespace.
A migration from DMS to DMS is relatively easy and can be accomplished with IDOCs via LSWM or ALE scenario.
Migration of GOS attachements is challenging. Nothing ready for use exists in SAP to do it.

Golfi, hi!

Have you been using DMS? I really want to learn this functionality especially in attaching docs to material master. Can you suggest where i can get training for this?

Would appreciate it also if you could furnish me some literature.

Thanks,
