Multiple attachments columns in SharePoint lists

Question

What I need is to clearly differentiate between the attachments (this is an approval, this is an offer, this is a PO, etc). Is this possible, or it is working only in bulk (attach all files together)?

Thanks,

Answer 1

You could create separate lists for each item requiring an attachment, then link those lists in a master table.

Answer 2

SharePoint does not support attachment metadata. I would suggest storing the attachments in a document library (probably with Content Types for Approval, Offer, PO, etc) with a lookup column to the associated item in your list.
