Structure

Documents from the Business Workplace consist of the following components:

• Document content

• Properties.

If attachments were appended to the document or the document was sent, the following components are also included:

• Attachment list

• Recipient list.

These components are arranged on tab pages on the document display screen or the document maintenance screen. The document content of messages is edited on the appropriate tab page directly. The standard text editing functions are available. You edit the document content of PC documents in the appropriate PC application. It is possible to integrate the editor of PC applications that support OLE, such as Microsoft Word, directly in the SAP window. The functions of the PC application and of the Business Workplace can be used during editing.
