Default Documents 

Definition

Document template that is assigned to a document when the document is created. Default documents can be passed from the Business Workplace to the appropriate PC application, for example, when the PC document is being created. Default documents can also be forms, for example.

Use

Default documents are required for technical reasons when a PC application expects a formatted transfer file. You can create several default documents for one PC application. This is recommended, for example, if several versions of the same application are used within the company.

You can also use default documents as company-specific layout templates and, in this way, offer users a selection of forms, for example, when they create SAPscript or Word documents.

If only one default document exists for a document class, this is always used as the template when documents of this class are created. If several default documents exist for a document class, these are displayed to the user for selection when documents of this class are created. The use of default documents is not restricted to certain users.

Default documents can only be created by administrators.
