 Displaying Original Application Files with the Viewer Locate this document in the navigation structure

Definition

Interface for an extension, in which a customer can control the display of an original application file with the integrated viewer.

Use

If you use the viewer in the SAP standard system to display original application files, then you can use the following functions:

  • Stamp as a redlining function

    You can integrate additional data from the document info record in a stamp. If you set a stamp, this data is determined dynamically for the document info record that you are currently editing. Or you can stamp the document number or the status of the document info record onto the original application file.

  • For original application files that you display, you can load a second file to make a comparison. You select the original application file from the Select Original dialog box. It contains all of the document versions for the document number. You can restrict the preselection to the desired characteristics, for example, you can make available for selection only the document part 000.

You can use one or more methods for implementing the interface. You program the enterprise-specific requirements for each method of the Business Add-In.
