Recently, one of our customers requested help with sending electronic documents as a structured ZIP file, where the folder structure of the ZIP file corresponds to the BOM structure. You’ll see how we accomplished this in the following application.
The customer’s SAP system contains multi-levelBOMs for electronic devices, such as:
2.xxx-xxx
— 4.xxx-xxx Circuit board
——-6.xxx-xxx Electronic hardware component 1
——-6.xxx-xxx Electronic hardware component 2
——-6.xxx-xxx Electronic hardware component 3
——-6.xxx-xxx Electronic hardware component 4
——-6.xxx-xxx Electronic hardware component 5
Diverse electronics documents may be attached to every material number in the BOM. Our customer wanted tohave these documents put in a ZIP file where the folder structure of the ZIP file corresponds to the BOM structure.
To do this, we developed a userexit that detects the progression of the material numbers of every document and takes over this progression as parameter in the order. The output script creates the corresponding directories for each level. The documents are stored there, and then a ZIP file is created. For the actual zipping method, the output script uses the Perl Module Archive::Zip.
The result looks like this: Notes on the structure:
In this way, we fulfilled our customer’s request with relatively little effort.
