Classifying Object Links
Use
Sometimes additional link information is useful when you link a document with an SAP object. Classification makes it possible for you to characterize a document - SAP object link (for example, Customer DEBI-US51) by using characteristics.
For example, you can add additional project information, such as persons responsible or organizational data, to a document - material link.
Integration
You can maintain classification in either the document info record or in the master record for the object (for example, customer DEBI-US51). You maintain the essential classification data in the classification system.
Prerequisites
You can only classify an object link when you have activated the additional functions in Customizing
Document management
