Procedure documentation Assigning an Object the Bar Code of a Document  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You can link a document with an object in advance, that is later to be scanned in and stored in an optical archive. You also append the bar code of the document to the object. If the document is scanned in later, the connection to the object is made by means of the bar code.

For background information on the concept, see Late Storing with Bar Codes. However, you must note that the procedure described there differs from that described here. The business object is already available when entering a bar code using object services.

Prerequisites

This function is only then active if an optical archive is connected to the SAP System.

Procedure

  1. In the Toolbox of the object services, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.
  2. Choose Enter bar code.
  3. Enter a bar code for your document.

Result

A scanned in document with the given barcode, that is stored in an optical archive, is automatically appended to the current object. You and other users can call the document by using the attachment list of the object.
