The job documentation view is displayed when you create new job or job chain documentation or open existing job documentation.
The job documentation view has the following tab pages:
Enter general information about the job documentation, such as the name and job steps.
Job Chain Structure Tab Page (only available in job chain documentation)
Link the documentation of the jobs in a job chain to the job chain documentation.
Document the responsible organization, reason for the job, and priority.
Assign logical components and specify in which systems the job is scheduled or for which systems the job is documented.
Document error handling procedures.
Specify the contact persons for areas such as job documentation, job development, job scheduling or job monitoring.
Document restrictions that have to be taken into account in scheduling the job, for example, whether another job has to run before or after this job.
Document the authorizations required for scheduling jobs.
Specify the tasks required for the job documentation. You can then assign the tasks to employees.
Add documents or references to documents.
Document the change requests that the employees have submitted for the job as well as all changes to the job documentation.

Creating a job request
If you want to change a job, you can create a job request. When you create a job request from the job documentation, the system copies the job documentation data into the job request form and assigns the job documentation to the job request via the associated CRM object.
For more information, see Creating Job Requests.
Running a macro
If you have to create several job documentations, you can simplify the process by using macros. For example, you can use macros to automatically enter contact persons, organizations, and systems (via a logical component).
Note
To create a custom macro for job documentation, proceed as follows:
In transaction SA38
, start the RAGS_CREATE_JOBDOC_MACRO
report.
Provide a unique macro ID and a description.
Enter the desired parameters for business priority, logical component, region, country, contact person, and so on.
You can assign the macro to your user only or to all users in the SAP Solution Manager system.
Execute the report.
Adding to favorites
This can be useful, for example, when you want quick access to job documentation so you can compare it with other job documentation.
