Data Conversions and attachments

[vsharma013]

I am converting AR records from an external system to JDE E1. Now, when I convert the records, each item on the invoice has an attachment. How do I get these attachments in JDE? I have done this before in the following manner, but I know there has to be a better standard way,

1. I stored the text, by line, in a custom table as and when it was written to the Z tables.

2. When the Z process converts the data, then I call a custom UBE which in turn will associate the invoice line items with their attachments and create the records in F00165.

I THINK THERE HAS TO BE A STANDARD WAY TO GET ATTACHMENTS IN DURING CONVERSIONS.

Please advise

If there's an easier way I haven't found it.

I've had to convert media objects a couple of times. Each time I did them by either specifying NN fields(doco, an8, etc) and brute force inserting the media object or converting them separately after the upload (z-process).

Either way its a PITA.

FWIW,
