Word Templates and EASY Document Management

Hi all
I am currently evaluating Easy DMS for a customer and a couple of questions popped up.
Is it possible to create new Word documents based on a template from SAP DMS directly in MS Word?
Is it possible to use DMS Template documents in EASY DMS.
By templates I mean, MS Word documents stored in SAP DMS that have been customised as templates?
Lastly, can we use the mergefield technology of SAP DMS, in the new WebUI, in the EASY DMS solutions. I.e. can the new word document include metadata, like Document Status, if it was created using the WebUI and the EASY DMS solutions?
Any answers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Sonny

Sonny,
Kindly go through the following external vendor presentation about how a Easy DMS interface would look like.

If you have any questions after going through the presentation, please do let me know,

Comparision between SAP Easy Document Management and MOSS2007

Hi,
Could anyone please guide what are the differet features available in SAP EASY DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT solution which are not present in MOSS2007.
I know both are very good and very robust solutions but i want to know which one is having better qualities.
Please guide.
Thanks and Regards

hi,
Acually speeking yes all product have their own advantage and dis advantages also. but alsways but as consultant, we could refeiring Edms, coz,
The types of documents range from "documents" in proprietary SAP format typically stored in the SAP database (such as financial documents, purchase orders, closed master records) to documents usually created, viewed and/or edited by applications other than SAP, though they may have some significance or bearing on business processes within the SAP system
itself (for example, technical drawings referenced from bill of materials stored in the SAP database).
Also, we could use external content server to store enormose data with out affecting the performance. also her we could extend[scale up] Content server.
this is like similar to Windows, user need not know full SAP. even though can work EDMS.
By using EDMS, we can integrate to Logisic [SAP] copmonents.
Also by Interfacing with, third party applction software like Acad, UG, Lous note........etc

Link Invoice Document using Easy Document Management

Hi All, is there any way to use Easy Document Management System to attach a scanned document like a PDF to an invoice document.
If it is there, is it easy to customize?
We are trying to evaluate different scanning solutions and trying to see if we can make DMS work without purchasing any other software.
Thanks

Wrong module. DMS is not designed for invoices. DMS is designed for documents that change and need versioning.
ArchiveLink is the correct solution/module. This allows you to link incoming invoices directly to the object in SAP in MIRO and FB60.
If its outgoing invoices, you can link them to sales orders. The document is stored in the GOS (generic object services) area of SAP and will appear in the attachment list. If you go to GOS you will see an option called "Store Business Document" which will be made available when you have configured this properly.
There is no easy way to customise. You have to install a content server (See SAP HTTP content server) and then configure the document type and which object it will be linked to. You also have to configure the method of processing. I.e. early archiving, late archiving.
It is possible to set this up using no external software except the SAP HTTP content server which is free with your SAP licensing.

SAP Easy Document Management icon not created

Hi
We have problem with a PC (running Windows 7) where the Easy Document Managment icon is not created on the desktop after installation.
It is not created as a Folder in Windows Explorer either.
But it seems to have been installed correctly.
Have tried to uninstall and installed again.
Yes, we have re-booted.
Any idea why the icon is not created and why It is not in Windows Explorer either?
It is ok on other Windows 7 PC's
Best regards
Tom

Hi Deepak
Thanks. We have tried that as well.
But I think there is something that makes the installation procedure not able to update everything as it shall.
Is there some manual steps we can do after the uninstall, to be sure EasyDMS are totally remove from the PC?
Best regards
Tom

Easy Document Management crash when logon to the system

Hello gurus.
I have a problem with SAP Easy Document Management.
I double-click on the icon of SAP Easy Document Management I get the SAP logon window, then enter the username and password and then click on "Access the system."
It seems that explorer.exe is trying to connect when I get the following error message:
Microsoft Visual C + + Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
This application has Requested the Runtime to terminate it in unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
My system is Windows XP and the version of SAP Easy Document Management 7.0.6.1 (Unicode).
Lots off thanks

Hi,
we have also the similar problem with Windows 7 and EasyDMS 7.1.4.2. The Explorer crashes the first time when you try to login after starting the PC. When you then restart the Explorer and try a second login it will be successful and EasyDMS works fine all day. If you restart the PC the Explorer crashes again when you try the first login.
We have no crashes under Windows XP with EasyDMS 7.1.4.2 !
The problem of this issue is found by SAP and the solution will be implemented in the upcoming EasyDMS 7.1 SP05.
Meanwhile on our Windows 7 PCs following workaround is working for us and prevent us from the crash problem:
We add on all Windows 7 PCs to the environment variable "Path" the entry ";C:\Program Files\SAP\EasyDmsInterface\Unicode".
And there are no crashes anymore.
I hope this will help you or others which have similar problems.
Best regards

Hoe to edit Word, Excell and Powerpoint documents

Hello
I had installed the BlackBerry Device Software 4.5 on my BlackBerry 8310 and would like to know how to edit Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents.
Can I edit files that i sent from the computer to the device memory card and then send it by email.
Thankyou
sluizoliv

Hi there!
If your BB came with the DataViz ToGo apps, then you can indeed do what you desire. Check under (usually) Applications for Word-to-go, sheet-to-go and other ToGo apps. You can edit a file you save to your device or media card memory. You can send them as attachments. Etc.
Hope that helps!

SAP Easy Document Management installing and setting

Hi,
We are in the middle of installing the content server for DMS. Also I'd like to install SAP Easy Document Managemnt, so that my end users can access the files easily. I have a hard time finding documentation on the installation of EDMS and step by step detail of what to do.
From reading some of the notes, I think I have to
1. Download the EDMS software to my PC (will also have to install on each user's computer).
2. Also it said you have to make the settings in Customizing for DMS has to be done (but doesn't say what settings ????)
Questions,
1. Can anyone tell me where I can get the detail information about how to install and
2. Do you have any documentations on what to do with the settings in Customizing for DMS so that I can use the EDMS?
3. How do I handle the diff SAP Environments with this EDMS ?
Thank you,
Sam

Hi Samantha
I don't think there is much in the line of documentation on this. Unfortunately, for most of the DMS consultants, its been a learn through trial and error process, but if you are fairly competent technically, a lot of it is not too difficult.
1. Not much information unfortunately.
2. You will need to create an FOL document type if it doesn't exist already. ECC6 came standard with the correct EasyDMS configuration but earlier versions of SAP were not setup correctly. There are also additional authorisation applicable to easydms. If you are not sure what they are you can do an auth trace when creating a document in easydms and it should give you them, but they are RFC auth's and hierarchy creation auths.
3. Difficult to say without knowing the environments. There are some limitations with EasyDMS that may affect the DMS design, for example, you can't insert enhancements on classification because they don't appear. (or link to check tables).

Creating Activities in CRM using Word Templates and Web Services??

Hi,
This functionality can be achieved through Adobe Interactive Forms from what I have learnt through demos etc. We are checking the feasibility of using with Word Templates instead.
This thread has multiple questions:
We are trying to set up the activity creation as mentioned in the CRM70 system.
1) At this point, finished the retrieval of information from the CRM Activity into a Word Template using a READ Web Service. Subsequently synchronized this with outlook and can see the Word document in the outlook item. Not able to open the same in Outlook, since it comes over as a XML document type. "Cannot open as there is a problem with the contents. ">" expected, line so and so...is the message
2) I created a Web Service that writes as well into CRM and would like to use this from the Word Template to create the activity in CRM
2a) Can the word template be incorporated with buttons that can trigger creation in CRM, similar to Adobe "Execute" etc
2b) If yes, and If there are some custom fields that I add to the activity transaction, in the UI, can I populate these with input from the Word Template, as well
Regards,
Ashwin

Hell Wregs,
You can create the Product in CRM GUI,by using Transaction:COMMPR01,not mandatory to have WebUI..,
but b4 that you need to set up Product Hierarchy and Product category under which the Products can be created.
Use Transaction:COMM_HIERARCHY Transaction to do this.
Hope this helps
let me know if any further questions
Thanks & Regards

SAP SD ASAP Template and supporting documents

Dear Gurus,
kindly let me know, from where I can download Sample ASAP Templates and supporting ducuments for SAP SD. besides I am also lookking for some .mpp files for SAP SD for project Viewer.
Kindly assist me.
Wishes,
Abhishek

Hi,
I dont think you will get the standard template somewhere in the web. However if you have the licensed version for your company, your PM or ur Client can request SAP for the templates of ASAP methodology. If this is done, it is easy to get from them.
However, you dont need to rely on the standard te mplate prescribed by ASAP. You can always design your own template as decided by the Client and the organisation and how the Change Management is enabled. This template can be universally adopted for all changes in the system.
Hope this helps

Authorization check for Easy Document Management

Hello,
I'm using ECC6 without cProjects or any other implementations regarding the authorization concept in Easy DMS. I'm trying to use authorization control inside the Easy DMS GUI but these settings won't work. I need document based authorization and it seems like ACL's are used for this. The problem is, I do not know which route to follow. I have viewed note 798504, but I could not make sure it will do the work for ECC6 also. My DMS is integrated to a Windows 2000 Content Server 6.3 and I have done its settings accordingly.
Could anyone please kindly show me which way this is done, using only a ECC6 SAP system and Easy DMS without any need of SAP internal roles and authorizations?
What I need is a step-by-step instructions, as I'm quite new to SAP.

Link between table EKKO-EBELN and DMS - Document Management System

Hi to all,
I wanted to know the form to connect or link the Document Info Record (inside "Define Object Link") to object DRAW (DMS) with table EKKO-EBELN (order head). In standard form it is possible to do it with EKPO (Purchase order item) This is in transaction DC10 Define Object Link.
Thanks!
Greetings
Martin

Hi Martin,
Within table DRAD you can see all linked objects to a specific document info record (DIR).
To be able to link objects to DIRs you have to maintain the correct objects in customizing.
First of it is necessary to maintain the correct screen numbers for all needed objects within the customizing. Therefore go to transaction SPRO and select
Cross-Application Components
> Document Management
> Control Data
> Maintain Screen for Object Link
Here you can enter all needed SAP objects with the name and
the related screen number. If you do not know the object or the screen number you can display a list of all SAP standard objects in transaction SE80 under function group CV130 ("Screens").
So for material master you maintain the following entry:
SAP object Screen Description Auth.
MARA 201 material master 1
Please note that the system automatically adds the leading "1" which is displayed in function group CV130 under
"Screens". So for object MARA you just have to enter 201 instead of 1201.
The value "1" in the column "Auth." is necessary to grant that always the latest dynpros and authorizations were used when linking this object to an document info record. This will avoid different problems by displaying linked documents from the object side.
The next step is to decide which objects should be used in the different document types. Therefore please go to transaction DC10 and choose the relevant document type. Afterwards please select "Define object links". Here you can
add all needed objects only by entering the object. The correct screen number is taken automatically. Also note the blue information buttons in the upper right corner which contain further necessary information about the possible settings of the current screen.
After doing these settings in customizing you should be able to link the maintained objects to document info records and oppositely by using the DMS transaction CV02N (tab "object links") or the object related transactions.
Important notes regarding the object link functionalities are:
Note 880077: Performance problem using object links
Note 885977: Extension to note 867241 on object links
Note 926060: Extension of note 885977 for object link Purchase Order
Note 960202: Object Links Deleted While Adding New Objects
Note 1002648: Wrong behavior while using RFC_CHANGE_DOCUMENT_MASTER

BIP Word Template and Apache FOP

Hello:
Can I create a report format using the BIP Word template .. export it as XSL-FO file and use it with the open source Apache-FOP from APEX?
Is there some technical constraints or licensing issues with doing this ?
Yesh

The xslfo, you created from BIP , will have reference to functions , which are customized function written by oracle BIP in JAVA,
so the apache-FOP has to know , that these functions are custom ones, not as normal XSL-fo...
Manual Conversion from RTF to XSL-FO, and using them in Standard support should work i guess.
The standard Supportgives only to XSL-FO, Advanced support helps you to get the RTF template , but for this, installation of BIP licensed is needed :)
With e-biz license,i dont think, you can install BIP separately, that has to be with E-biz only.

BSP and DMS (Document Management)

I have to develop a BSP application which provides Documents links from DMS. Is anybody know which BAPI i can use to optain relation between the material (MATERIAL_GETLIST) and the document number DOKNR ?
Is somewhere on a blog something was published about this topic ?
Thanks a lot
Jerome

You're right but my customer had a problem on his WAS. Bapi browser didn't work. I tried to connect the BOR with my Visual Studio and my SAPDOTNETConnector I had the same problem. So I did some zfunction on the R/3 systems all called these from my BSP application. Good way to optimize the performance...
My proof of concept was a success for my customer, and he was reinstalling a complete WAS to continue the project
