FAQ’s: Accounts Payable Document Types and Attachment

I’m preparing a ZV60, what document type can I use?

It is important to attach documentation correctly to ensure backup is saved in Perceptive Content. When attaching backup to a ZV60 document, choose Create → Save Business Document, then choose Document Type: Incoming Payment, Incoming credit memo w/o verification, or Incoming invoice w/o verification.

Both the FB03 – Attachments and Workflow and ZV60 – Key and Post Invoice Quick Reference Guides reference the appropriate document types.

What file types work best as attachments?

Perceptive Content pulls files from our ZV60 documents.

Use pdf, .doc, and .xls file types.
Do not use .docx, .xlsx. These file types are saved to Perceptive Content as .zip files which Perceptive Content does not recognize. The workaround is to save these documents as .pdf, then upload.

Reminder: It is important to attach documentation correctly to ensure backup is saved in Perceptive Content. When attaching backup to a ZV60 document, choose Create → Save Business Document, then choose Document Type: Incoming Payment, Incoming credit memo w/o verification, or Incoming invoice w/o verification.

Why do I get an HTTP Error 500? What is the work around?

Internal error appears to be a Perceptive Content issue. This happens when a user attempts to store a supporting document as a business document in services for objects. This is a known issue and the team will continue looking for a resolution.
The workaround – it only happens once per day, per user, so they can click by it the first time and repeat the upload operation successfully in S4.

How do I search for documents in perceptive content?

The indexing FI document number comes over to Perceptive Content with the supporting documents with a leading zero.

If a person wants to search directly in Perceptive Content for a document (as opposed to using the ABAP buttons within S4), they need to add a leading zero to the document search criteria.
