Maintaining Document Classes

Use

You can define which document classes can be stored in the Business Workplace in table TSOTD. You specify whether individual classes can be created from the Workplace interface. If this is the case, you can use the input help to select these classes in the Document Class field when you create documents. It is possible to completely forbid certain document classes in the Business Workplace. Alternatively, you can forbid the creation only of documents of a certain class. This means that documents of this class cannot be created from the Business Workplace interface, but can still be stored in the Workplace.

The PC document classes are entered in this table with the file extension EXT. You maintain the individual values in a separate maintenance transaction for PC document classes.

Activities

1. Call transaction SOTD.

2. Choose .

3. Make the following entries in this screen:

   • Class

     Enter a three-character abbreviation for the new class. The function module SO_XXX, whereby XXX is the class, must exist so that objects of this class can be created from the interface of the Business Workplace.

   • Description

     Enter a description for the class.

   • Gen. TOM (Generic class Object Manager)

     If this field is selected, the system does not check whether a function module or a TOM exists for this class. This enables objects that cannot be maintained from the Workplace interface to be stored in the Business Workplace

   • Create not possible

     If this field is selected, documents of this class cannot be created from the Workplace interface but only from an appropriate application, for example, ALI (ABAP lists).
