Processing Documents

Use

This function is used to edit documents created and stored in the Business Document Navigator.

This function is used for documents that can be edited with Desktop Office Integration.

• You can overwrite the current document.

• You can create a new document.

• You can create a new version (content versio) or variant (language variant).

Prerequisites

The MIME type of the document to be edited belongs to an application that is supported by SAP Desktop Office Integration. See also, Desktop Office Integration.

Features

If the function Edit Document is called for a selected document, the relevant application is started in the GUI and the document can be edited further. When you save the document, the following four functions are available:

• Store the edited document as a new document

• Overwrite the stored document with the current document

• Create a new content version for the current version

• Create a new language variant for the current version

In all four cases you can change the descriptive text and the keywords.
