Yes. All the above documents and their associated formats are supported. WBS elements are supported via 'Object Linking' concept in DMS. Search the forum for further details.

2) What are the other Documents which SAP does not support in Document management system.

SAP DMS is capable enough to support documents in all forms (2D vector image files like AutoCAD,CGM,IGES,HPGL etc; 2D Raster image files like BMP,PNG,JPEG,JPG,PC Paint; 2D ASCII and Postscript files; 3D design drawings/vector files like JT,WRL etc;MS Office files etc) provided the appropriate Workstation Applications and the relevant parameter details are configured.

Search the forum for further details.

Hi Sekar,

Kindly find the following answers for user queries:

1. For document types, you can create many document types as per your wish in transaction DC10. It will resolve your first question.

2. Now, for second query, SAP DMS is supporting the files like all office application type, pdf and autocad. Only you need to define the MIME TYPES in DC30 transaction and for autocad you need to install ECL viewer6 with patch in your system.

I hope this will resolve the queries.
