How to define a link to external documents using only ECC6.0?

[former_member691492]

Dear all,

Our procurement manager showed me a button within a purchase order under Header --> Additional data.

The button is called "Documents in CFolders" and is configured under SPRO --> Integration with Other SAP Components --> Business Packages/Functional Packages --> Buyer --> Define Link to External Documents

When I enter the above customizing I get the impression that it must be possible to use only an ECC6.0 (No EP6.0, no SRM) to make this option work.

For now I get the remark: "Application cFolders not active" and when I configure something I get no remark but also no reaction...

There is a bit of documentation related to the customizing stating:

- Enter the desired Internet address and set the Active indicator.

- I should also provide a role corresponding to the role SAP_CFX_USER (Which does not exist in ECC6.0)

When I save the Internet Address I get a warning that the URL does not accord with conventions.

Question is: Did anybody set-up the simplest configuration to make the "Documents in CFolders work and can you show us an example of how to configure this?

Kind regards,

Hi,

cFolders is a web-based application that can be connected to any number of ECC systems for sharing documents and other product or other data:

It can actually also be deployed on an operative ECC system itself for internal use.

You need to implement it using the cFolders 4.5 Master Guide:

Hi Ulf,

The master guide you attached describes exactly my situation (Variant B).

Thank you very much for your quick and adequate response.

I will now work my way through the book and then return to aknowledge that you gave me the correct answer.
