Attachment Management 

Use

One or more attachments can be assigned to each work item that appears in the Business Workplace's workflow inbox.

Attachments are documents written either with a SAPscript editor (document classes RAW, SCR) or with a PC application (document classes DOC, URL, PPT, XLS, PDF, ...) and then imported. You can enter new documents as attachments or create attachments from existing files.

Features

You can define default documents for the individual document classes. For further information, refer to Default Documents.

Attachments can be displayed by the recipients of the subsequent steps. But they cannot be changed and, therefore, have a document character.

A superior who is to make a decision on releasing a budget can enter an attachment justifying their decision. The selected agents of the subsequent steps can display this attachment.

If a work item has attachments, this is indicated by a symbol in the Attachments column in the Business Workplace. You can also execute the function for processing an attachment by double-clicking in this column (column header AT). If an attachment already exists, it is displayed.

If a work item has attachments, this is indicated by the symbol in the work item display.
