DMS Configuration

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We are in the process of implementing SAP ECC 6.0 in our organization. I know the concepts of DMS and worked in Hummingbird DMS.

The business requirement is to attach documents and refer documents along with the business transactions viz., referring customer Purchase Orders to be attached at the time of creating sales order and shall be referred while processing the delivery orders etc.

Can any one help how to configure DMS and where to start?

Thanks & Regards,

hi,

u get detail information about DMS functionality in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/c1/1c31a243c711d1893e0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm

to attach documents ??

U have to define one document type with required attributes so that ur basic data careen of DIR will appear accordingly. U have to define data carrier for front end accordingly in DC20. U have to define the complexicity of docuemnt uploading and invovement and accordingly define storage type requirement (content server, vault, R3 storage, etc).

and refer documents along with the business transactions ??

For this u have to do object linking in t code dc10, in object linking screen for particular document type. for e.g u want attach any document to material master u can slect MARA object for that document type.

pls award pts if its useful/solve ur query/need futher information.

Hi,

the above steps are correct..

for your business requirements. the basic following requirements needs to be considered,

1. document type based on the modules (MM,SD etc)

2. object linking - setting needs to be done in DC10 for particular document type.

how to start,

1. DC10 - first create a document type,all required parameters for this doc type is to be mentioned.

2. DC10 - select the created doc type, define document status if any..

3. DC10 - select the created doc type, define object links whichever required.

4. DC20 - Define data carrier type "server, front end" as Type-PC and Description-PC mit Windows

select the entry Type-PC and click on identify frontend computers and select DEFAULT.

5. DC30 - Define workstation applications.

you need to have DMS roles and authorizations to particular DMS user which can be maintained through PFCG and SU01.

once these settings are done you can create a document under CV01N,

under Object Links Tab you can select the particular Object to which document is to be attached.

once tis is done you can view this in the particular transaction.

for ex. in ME51N you can attach or view the documents under the Tab Documents at header level.

Thank You,

Manoj

Hi,

step1:configure Number range

SPRO-> Cross applicaton componets->document management->define number ranges

(else select from standard SAP)

step2: configure document type (else you copy from existing ones )

SPRO-> Cross application components->document management->define document types

Step3: configure Object link

SPRO-> Cross application components->document management->define document types

(Select document type(which u have created)-> define object links

Here Document can be linked to various other SAP objects like material master(MARA), Purchase order item (EKPO) etc.

Please note if get any confusion while selecting any fields,select field and press F1 for help.

Step4: configure Status network

SPRO-> Cross application components->document management->define document types

(select document type(which u have created)-> define Document status

Here document undergoes different status (like; create-> review-> release etc.) as per requirement

Step5: configure Viewer

SPRO-> Cross application components->document management->General data-.Define workstation applications.

Once if you are though with Configuration Go to Transaction code CV01n create document, and CV02n is for Change document (here attach originals) also find object link tap.

Hope this will help you.

Seema Pilankar.
