Image Documents 

Definition

Optical document that has the class ARC in the Business Workplace. Image documents are scanned in and stored in an optical archive.

Use

Image documents are used in many areas. Important image documents, i.e. invoices and other documents, must sometimes be available decades later. Such documents should therefore be archived. You can find more information about archiving in the ArchiveLink documentation.

Prerequisite

A scanner and an archive system must be connected to the SAP system.

To create an image document in the Business Workplace, the scan dialog must be started and the scanned image displayed and selected.

To change an image document (that is, to attach a new image), the image to be appended must either be in a scan dialog or displayed and selected in the archive.

Features

You can create, display and change image documents in the Business Workplace by appending further images. These images can either be archive images or new images. The change function enables you, for example, to group together images which have the same type of contents (i.e. orders, order confirmations, invoices).

Image documents that have been sent cannot be changed.
