Hi Gaurav,

generally there are no 'folders' in DMS. In DMS we use document info records (DIR) which are mainly a kind of box which contains data like

- descriptions

- object links

- classification data

- original files

So if you create such a DIR in transaction CV01N then you can also upload or assign a file to this document info record and check it in. So you can say that the folder is the document info record.

Another possibility for DMS is to use EasyDMS which is a kind of small Add-On to the Windows explorer. In this Add-On

folders are displayed to simplify the navigation for the user equal to the Windows Explorer. The folders you see in EasyDMS is a document BOM header in the SAP backend system. But mainly this is also a DIR which has additional DIRs assigned to build up a document BOM. If you have such a BOM header DIR than you can display the detailed BOM items by using transaction CV13 for example.

So in a nutshell, if you want to upload files in DMS you need to create a document info record in transaction CV01N first. Therefore the customizing in transaction DC10 and DC30 is important.

Best regards,

Christoph
