Attached Documents Client-Side Security

Any documents that are uploaded using the SAP Inventory Manager application are stored in the SAP ERP back end. These documents can either be found as an object or as a link in the SAP document management system.

The application does not perform a virus scan of documents while uploading from the local device or downloading them to your local device. It is therefore important to ensure that you use a third party virus scanner to upload and download virus free attachments. An alternative is to implement the SAP Virus Scan Interface (VSI). The VSI allows customers to easily embed an external certified virus scanner of their choice.

See SAP Note 817623 Information published on SAP site : Frequent Questions about VSI in SAP Applications, for which languages and platforms are supported, and where to get further guidance on implementing the SAP VSI.
