Retrieving a Certificate From the Storage System (Service QC40)	Selection of certificates that were stored by the sender (vendor) using SAPArchiveLink.

Prerequisites

To retrieve quality certificates for a delivery over the Internet, the following requirements must be met:

·        On the vendor side (SAP System)

¡        An internet transaction server is active.

¡        In the User maintenance of the SAP system, an alias for a SAP user has been created. (Using this alias, Internet users identify themselves as SAP users). In addition, a reference to the contact person at the customer site is made. (BUS1006001 - Business partner employee).

¡        In the SAP system, the role Processing Certificates on the Web (SAP_QM_CA_CERTVIAWEB_EXT) or a corresponding role is available. For more information, see the role documentation Processing Certificates on the Web.

·        On the customer side (internet user)

¡        If the internet retrieval should be started using the SAP Workplace, the hyperlink to start the service must be available in the corresponding user role (for example, in the role Link: Certificates on the Web (SAP_QM_CA_CERTVIAWEB_INT).

¡        The MS Internet Explorer (from Release 4.0) is used as a browser.

¡        Adobe Acrobat Reader® is used.

For more information, see the role documentation Link: Certificates on the Web. If the service is started without using the SAP Workplace, it can be started in the Internet Browser when the required hyperlink is set.

Process Flow

...

       1.      Depending on what is supplied by the vendor, Internet users use the service QC40 or QC40A in the Internet Browser to log on to the vendor system. (The vendor has an SAP system).

       2.      By entering a purchasing number, a date (desired delivery date), or a delivery, they create a list of certificates and call up the desired certificate as a PDF file.

       3.      The certificates can be displayed one after another using Adobe Acrobat Reader®, or be saved locally on the PC.
