Activities
The scenarios for storage for subsequent entry usually include two or more people who work at different locations within the company. Each of these people must execute the relevant storage functions depending on their task area.
When storing for subsequent entry, one person scans the incoming documents in a storage unit and assigns them to document types. This is performed using the storage functions in the Office menu.
When storing for subsequent entry, a second person (in a different department) processes the work items which have been generated by the storage operation and the SAP Business Workflow. In the PM application component, this is usually the person who created and/or processed the maintenance orders.
