Using the function module ARCHIVE_PROCESS_RFCINPUT, you can create work items for documents that are already stored and have RFC communication between storage system and SAP server. Additional data (attributes, index), which have already been determined for the document when storing documents in the external storage system, can be transferred to the workflow container. The data also classifies the documents and the processes to be started by them.

Using the function module enables implementation of decentralized (for example web-based) incoming document scenarios with simultaneous central document processing in SAP.

For starting the process and subsequently creating a link entry, the following data needs to be transferred from the external storage system:

• Content repository ID
• Document ID from external storage system
• Document type for selecting the process to be started

Or

• Bar code ID
