 Document Flow

Use

You can use this function to display the document flow for a quality notification in the form of a list or network graphic. The document flow allows you to identify:

  • Preceding documents (documents from which the current notification originated)

  • Subsequent documents (documents originating from the current notification)

  • "To-and-from" references between documents

Each document contains the following information:

  • Description of document (for example, quality notification or sales order)

  • Document number

  • Additional data (if available)

  • Logical system (if any of the other documents was created in a logical system other than the one in which the original notification was created)

You can also display detailed information for each document in the graphic.
