Before you Classify a Document
You can only classify documents with reference to a class of a class type for which the
Document
object type (data base table DRAW) is maintained.
Prerequisites in Customizing
At least one
class type
for documents must be defined in Customizing for the
Classification System,
by choosing
Classes
Maintain object types and class types.
In the standard SAP system the following class types are supported for documents:
017 – Document management
201 – Documents (configurable objects)
Prerequisites in the Classification System
At least one class must be defined for the appropriate class type in the classification system.
This class does not need to have characteristics. However, the values assigned to characteristics are useful search criteria when you search for documents. The system does not have to access the database as often, and the search result is more precisely targeted.
Note
Please note that characteristics and their values are inherited in a class hierarchy. Characteristics that are inherited from superior classes in the hierarchy are displayed as fields on the
Basic Data
screen.
If you want to define class types yourself, you must
maintain the class status, organizational areas and text types
define the classification status for the document allocations
maintain object parameters
