Section Notes: 1. Main Transactions in Sap Dms
Section Notes: 1. Main Transactions in Sap Dms
We will have later on a chapter about customizing all these objects based on a
practical example. Understanding the main transactions and using the standard
objects will make learning the customizing objects more easy.
You will learn how to create, change, display and search a document in DMS.
Also, you will understand the classification functions to help finding your
documents easier.
- Explain that the document type carries in background all the customizing
related to your process
- Don’t enter values in the part, version or number. By default, the part
000, version 00 and automatic assignment of internal number will be carried out
- USER – will store info on the user who creates the document
- Lab/Office – will store info on which lab or office created the document.
- CHANGE NUMBER – this field will control if you want to track
changes with engineering change management.
- If you don’t have a change number, any change that you make is valid
from the date of the change
- If you have a change number if you control from which date the change
is effective
- We will not fill nothing here for now, we will discuss later about
hierarchies.
- ORIGINALS – this is the section you can use to upload your original
file.
- You have just created your Document Information Record in SAP.
Congratulations.
1.1. Change a Document
- Navigate to the change document menu
- Change the status to “In Work”- explain that that represents the products
lifecycle
- If you don’t have a content server setup, you can choose DMS_C1_ST.
Now it will be stored in the SAP Database
- I live in Canada, and here the official languages are EN and FR
- I will update another description in French, so that the user which will
log in in French will see the correct description in his own language
- We want this drawing to be linked with this assembly and not the other
- Create a new folder “Pump Drawings” and create a link to this folder.
1.7. Classification
- You can use classification to maintain document attributes. This will
help you find your documents easier
- Let’s assign a standard class for now. Later we will create our own
classes
- Maintain the attributes stored in this class – from size A3, Data carrier –
Paper
- Go back and save.
- And display the status network, your original file, and the location where
it is stored.
