Digital Signature in Business to Business escenario

Hi everybody.
I have the next scenario BTB Idoc to File. The Receiver System is outside our net and I need to guarantee the integrity and the confidentiality of the data with digital signature.
I have the next doubts:
- How can I confiugure the File Adapter Channel? I need to use an existing module to encrypt the file or I had to implement my own module?
- When the third party receive the encripted file, how does they decode the message?
Regards and thank u so much

Hi ,
In my knowledge you need to configure the file adapter by selecting FTPS instead of FTP. The is no need of writing the extra modules. Just deploy the necessary certificates. Regarding this certificates contacts your basis. They will help you.

Small Business Digital Signature Set-up

We have about 125 employees that have digital signatures created using Acrobat 9 and X. Is there a way to import all employee certificates (public keys) at one time into Acrobat so we can validate signatures when the signed PDF is opened?

You can import all certificates on one Acrobat installation, set the trust, and then use Security Settings Export feature in Acrobat to export all these trusted identities. Then you send the acrobatsecuritysettings file to each employee and have them to Import Security Settings from this file.

Digital signature process has not been completed yet

Hi Everyone
One more issue today. we had digital signatures process for couple of our statuses in DMS and later part of the project they were revoked due to various reasons.
Now we move the status of the approved document i.e. RL (Released) to NE( Initial status) and made the changes to the same document. When DIR status changed from NE to AP( for approval, previously we had digital signature active for this status) we are having issues and not allowing further to change the status (Message appears as "Status does not allow you to change certain data")
Is there any way I can change the status of the DIR? I can't copy this document and create a new version for many reasons.
Appreciate your quick response.
Regards
Prasad

Hi Athol
Thanks for your promt reply. We had to revoke deigital signatures as we have introduced new work flow system I.e. CENIT which is affliated to SAP... So approval process is tracked and done in that system, so it updates DIR In SAP whenever document is approved in that system. Cenit work flow is implemented through PLM 7.0 Net weaver business client.
So please let me know if we you have any suggestion to change the status of the documents. We wanted to obsolete these DIR's as we have created new versions.

Prasad

Purchase Order Print out with Digital Signature

Dear Gurus,
1) we are going to implement release strategy, but still business requirement to have a digital signature, Meaning, if only upto Supervisor release, then PO print should come with Supervisor digital signature, if PR value upto Supervisor & manager release, then PO print should come with Manager digital signature, if PR value upto Supervisor, Manager, GM Reelease, then PO print should come with GM digital signature, Whoever approves last, then their signature should appear in the PO printout - How to Achieve this?
2) If any amement in the Purchase order, then is it possible to reflect in the PO print out as Rev1 , Rev 2...?
Please advice
Thanks
RS

Dear,
Check : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/18/ecb69017ad4765855425b97f666470/content.htm
May be helpful.
Another is scan the signature to bmp and attach the bmp through smartform or sapscript - But this is not digital signature.

Adobe Acrobat - Digital Signatures Security

Hi,
The business I am working for is making a push for online fill in forms for simplicity and less paperwork. At the moment they are using word docs with fill in sections that are terrible to deal with and still require you to print them out to sign it.
I have developed a PDF fill in form using Adobe LiveCycle that uses digital signatures. My only worry is how the digital signatures are created. It seems it is fairly easy to create a digital signature for someone else and use it without it being authenticated.
I have done some reading around and it seems to suggest that you are able to intergrate windows user accounts with adobe security somehow, but I am unable to find how to do this. I also don't have access to any of the windows security certificates so I will need to pass on information to the external IT company that manages it for them to do.
So, more specific question: How do I intergrate Adobe Acrobat signatures/security with windows user accounts so that only a specific list of users are able to sign forms.
Or if there is a better way of doing this let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
You don't need to do anything. If the user has loaded their digital ID into the Windows Certificate Store (or the Mac Keychain) then Acrobat (and when I say Acrobat I mean both Acrobat & Reader) will pick up the digital ID and make it available at signing time in the Sign Document dialog, "Sign as" drop-down menu.

Creating Documents to Support Multiple Digital Signatures

I am currently working on creating a paperless business process utilizing Adobe Acrobat's Digital Signature Feature. However, I'm having a lot of problems utilizing it.
Can somebody please explain the entire process from document creation in Word to creating the digital signature fields to distributing the document and receiving signed versions back?
Also, how can I enable this feature so coworkers with Adobe Reader can sign and send back to me?
Thank you very much,
Jeff

A tip: if you want "multiple signatures" to mirror a paper workflow
where someone signs a document in more than one place, this does not
fly in PDF. In PDF, a person does not sign the same document more than
once (except perhaps to countersign after they signed, then someone
else changed).
Also bear in mind that if you have the idea that you will send out a
document, that it will be signed separately by multiple people, then
you will merge the signatures back into a single document, that this
flies even less well.

How to get digital signature for Google Map geocoding V3 in PL/SQL?

Hi, Gurus:
    Could anyone provide me an example about how to generate digital signature for Google Maps service v3 in PL/SQL? We tried to upgrade our program using Google maps service from v2 to v3.

Collecting digital signatures on forms

Hello. I'm working on turning our paper based forms into forms people can fill out on the computer through Acobat 9 PRO.
I know that you can distribute a form to multiple users who can fill it out and send it back; but I'm needing to send multiple users a filled out form, have then review it and digitally sign the document. So....example:
I send the same form to 2 different, who review the information on their own computers and digitally sign the form and submit it back. So now I have 2 versions of the same form, each one with one signature.
My questions is, is there a way to combine those 2 forms so that I have the same form with both signatures on it???
Also, if that's not an option, is there a way to set up a workflow so that when one person digitally signs the fom and hit submits it goes to the next individual who needs to sign it, untill it's all be signed and then submited back to the distributor? Thanks.
Hope that's not too confusing. Thanks for the help.

If you need to collect multiple signatures on a form, then everyone must have access to and sign only one copy of the form. This is why I suggested using the shared review process. This process does NOT require using the Adobe server as was suggested earlier by astarxy. You can use any web server (even a free hosting account); in my case for internal use I created a SharePoint site which I use as the document and comments repository. Using Acrobat Pro, we place signature fields on the form for each participant. How you set these fields up can really simplify the process:
In the Tooltip for each field you may want to put something like "John Doe Signature" or "Business Analyst Signature" so that it is clear who signs where.
If not using shared reviews, you may want to try adding a script to execute on the signed tab. The script could email the form to you and all other users that are required for your process.
If you need hand-written signatures you could have each person scan their signature to a PDF and assign the PDF to a custom stamp. Users simply stamp where required. I created a menu button that flattens annotations; if I used this stamping optin I would want to either have the option of using that button or have some code within the form's WillSave action to flatten annotations.
If using shared reviews you have the option to customize the email that will be sent to participants. Here you can specify any requirements and give directions, such as "Mike in accounting should review and sign first, followed by Doug in Legal. After Doug signs, the document should be reviewed/signed by Jane in Operations..." You could also comment directly on the form if needed.
There are many possibilities beyond these, although most of which are fairly complex or involve 3rd party companies such as Docusign. Hopefully the ideas listed will help get you going in the right direction.

Digital Signature in ECC 5.0

Dear All,
Can anyone please confirm if we can configure Digital Signature with ECC 6.0 only? It's because I am currently working in ECC 5.0 and require to use digital signature in Form16.
Regards,
Amit Srivastava

Since release 4.0A, the SAP system has provided digital signatures, to secure digital documents and business processes. Previously, such digital signatures were only available for selected positions in the SAP system. If a function was to be connected to further applications, the program code had to be extended according to the application. This is very time consuming.
As of release 6.20, a standardized and flexible programming interface is available, with which the digital signature can be connected to any areas in both R/3 systems and other systems, such as APO, CRM, etc. In principle, no changes are made to the existing functions, and the following functions are added:
The document to be signed is called up by the relevant application and forwarded to the signature

PE51/Form Editor for Payslip - Need to Include a digital signature

Hi,
I have the digital signature of the Manager of HR, and I need to include it in the payslip automatically.
The payslip was made by using de PE51 Form Editor, and I can´t find the way to include it.
I need to Know if there is a posibility to do this, using the PE51, or if I need to re-do the form in Sapscript.
Thanks for your answers.
Susana Quiroz.

I believe you do have to put it in a SAPScript form. I do not recall any way to put it directly into your HR Form through PE51. Our rem statement is printed using a combination of a SAPScript and an HR Form, so our electronic signature is just included in the SAPScript.
You might want to check your config to see if you already have a SAPScript assigned to your payment method. It is under: Financial Accounting --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Business Transactions --> Outgoing Payments --> Automatic Outgoing Payments --> Payment Method/Bank Selection for Payment Program --> Set up payment methods per company code for payment transactions.

Digital Signature and workflow functionality in Enh Pack

We are working in ECC 6.0 environment. Recentaly we have activated Enh Pack 3 and 4 in our system. After that I can couple of additional QM functionality in system. SAP has provided few more settings in SPRO to activate digital signature in QN and workflow in standard peace.
I would be wonder if anyone has used those function in standard system without any custom development.
How can we use/ activate those (digital signature for QN and workflow) functionality? Reply appreciated.

SAP IMG > Quality Management> Quality Notifications> Notification processing> Specify Digital Signature
Give details like
Level -Header /Task Notification Type
Business
   Transaction
Signature Type
Strategy
Enter the Business Transaction: like PMM2 for Put notification in process,PMM4 for Complete notification,     QN40 for Release Task etc
Depending on your configuration systems asks for digital signature when you set header level status or Task level status
Means if u set Digital signature for PMM2 for Put notification in process system prompts for Digital siganture.

Digital Signature - Auto-Populate Multiple Signature Fields

Hello,
I am in the process of testing digital signatures with PDFs. I have a Topaz Signature Pad working in conjunction with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 so that I can insert digital signatures with no problems.
We are wanting to take this a step further and streamline a particular business process. Does anyone know of a way to have a digital signature auto-populate multiple designated signature fields? We have about 15 documents that require an employee signature in multiple places and rather than having someone sign a document over and over again, we'd like the option for a single signature that auto-fills in all the required signature fields.
This doesn't necessarily have to work with Topaz Signature Pads. I am completely open to other suggestions, products or methodologies for making this work as long as something can be automated to auto-fill multiple signature fields.
Many thanks to the forum!
Regards,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Maybe there is no need to re-inent the wheel. Auto-population of forms is a feature of SignDoc - se http://www.signplus.com/en/products/signdoc/features.php#Form_Preparation
Auto-filling of forms is requirement which can be achieved through various processes.
In combination with Adobe LiveCycle this is executed in the case study of Adobe/SOFTPRO.
http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2010/01/adobe_secured_customer_showcas_8.html
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/showcase/index.cfm?event=casestudydetail&casestudyid=762388&l oc=en_us
However there are also other ways to move forward depending on the envrionment you are using.
If you are based in the US you may want to get in touch with Rod Vesling SOFTPROs E-Signature Specialist, based in CA near LA, for a chat. His office phone is 805 435 1214. His email is [email protected]
Depoending on the deice of Topaz you are usinfg you may start right away as quite a decent number of Topaz tablets are supported by SignDoc. However the best idea might be to give Rod a ring and idscus your business requirements in detail.
Kind regards
Joerg

Digital Signature :- Changing contents in Original and revoking Diital Sign

Hi
We have a requirement as follows
1) There are 4 approval levels for a status A2 (Approval 2)
2) Levels are S1, S2, S3, S4 where S4 is the Program Director who finally releases the status
3) Initially S1 wud approve, then S2, then S3 and so on. Finally S4 would sign digitally ( after signatures from S1, S2 and S3 ) to complete the Digital Signature process.
4) I have created release strategies and everything is working fine.
5) Now consider this
a) Approver S3 found that the Document needs to be changed, he want to edit the document and sign it.
But since we are using Digital Signature , the status is locked and orginal cannot be edited. How can we do this then..
b) Approver S3 want to cancel the Digital Signature process and return to old status A1.
Here I tried to cancel the "Signature process" but old signatures of S1 , S2 was not canceled and the Document status was not reverted to A1 (old Status). Only thing happened was that the process was terminated and again when I open the DIR its asking signature from S3 only ( it should ask from S1 and S2 ideally, I believe)
Please guide.
Regards
Aby

Aby,
You are actually trying to find a technical solution for a business process issue. I suggest that you first set the business processes right, before trying to resolve it technically.
Once you have decided that S4 will finally sign off using a digital signature, if somebody further down in the loop wants to change the document, definitely it should lead to the creation of a new version of the same document and it should follow the same S1,S2,S3,S4 route.
Hope this clarifies,
Sojan
