No its will not be visible during RR.Best way is to use DMS & attach drawing in Inspection method.This will be very helpful

HI,

Without activating DMS is it possible to attach document in Inspection method,if no what should be done?

Drawing & documents files are very heavy file.If you do not use DMS as a different server this will tend to make slow your SAP system.Best way out is to use DMS.This will enhance system performance & easily accessible during the RR.

There is no other way out

Hello Murugan,

There are various ways to attach documents to business documents.

1. Documents attachment by Generic object service (GOS)

2. Documents attachment by DMS functionality

and also with workflow + Docuemnt storage functionality...

DMS functionality provides various advantages such creation of versions of the document, linking to subsequent objects so on..

GOS functionality provides to attach to an business documents as reference to it.

For your requirement you can attach drawings manually to your Inspection document and GOS functionality will help in attaching and displying attachment... GOS is located at left hand side of functional location below menu bar.

If archive server is attached to your system then it is advisable to store these documents into archive server to manage size scalability otherwise these attachment will be stored in the SAP database.

Normally DMS functionality will be used while attaching the Drawings to Inspection lot documents as there is need of changing the version of the drawings. If you dont require any additional funtionality then you go with attaching through GOS.

-Thanks,

Hello,

DMS is a component of KPRO and it is widly used in PLM module. So it is not a different module.
