Hi Pranav
Whenever you are implementing SAP DMS for any client Following are steps necessary for Implementation of SAP DMS.
1. Gathering of Customer Requirement in terms of Expectation from Customer from SAP Document Management System in terms of Using Create ,change ,display ,search ,Distribution and Linking into various business process.Method of Storage of Storage is very Important Part of the Solution.So server sizing has to be carried out Properly considering the Future growth.
2. We require ECC 6.0 for Implementing SAP DMS. No Seperate Licencense Require.We can use SAP Web DMS to work on SAP as well as Tool called SAP Easy Document Management System 7.0 which is latest.This is similar to Windows explorer.
3. You can store Document in SAP Archive, Vaults,SAP Database or Content Server.So seperate server would be required for Storage of Document.But method has to be decided first.
4. If customer want web based ascess you can do it with SAP Enterprise Portal also.Standard Business Packages are available which can deployed on SAP EP with litlle Config and ready to use.
5. When Gathering Requirements Divide your client Organization Based on Function Such as Engineering , Marketing , Sales , Projects , Finanace,Stores , Procurement etc. And get requirement from each function seperately in terms of Documents handling ,storage, Appproval process, Whether Versioning , Revisioning is required.How documents flow from on function to anather.And Many more.
My Friend there are many more points but have given you some to start with.
Here is good Presentation to Start With

DMS IMPLEMENTATION ACTIVITIES

Hello,
Anybody can throw some light on what are the activities generally will involved in DMS impementation. Whether implementaion need to go in Phased manner or any other procedure?.
Thank You,
Warm Regards
Puratchi.

Hey Puratchi, below is the list of crucial tasks (note order might not be the same)
1. Identify the document types
2. Group them as Original files and additional files
3. Decide your numbering scheme and ranges
4. Deploy a content server / KPRO and define storage categories
5. If need be deploy a conversion engine.
6. Define your content versioning, Versioning, revisioning strategies,
7. Define the relevant Work station applications
8. Determine the status network
9. Work out your roles and authorizations
10. Determine how change management gets done
11. Determine the release strategy.
12. And most importantly legacy Data migration to SAP.
Well my friend thats all I can think of on top of my head. Its easier said but there is whole lot of Business process involved aound each of the above mentioned steps. There is also lot of other processes and development involved specific to the clients requirements. Anyways I think you must have got a general idea of the activities, what is involved and what it takes for a DMS implementation. Generally DMS implementations are single phased, they also involve Data migration. They have the typical SAP project approach like BP phase, realization, testing and implementation then Go Live.
Award points if you find above content useful.
Good luck

Why seperate DMS server is used

hi, all,
this is benakarajes hey i have some clarification,
in DMS implementation,
a] why the separate DMS server[content server]installed.
b] is this mandatory to install separete server for DMS.
rdgs
ben

Hi,
DMS sizing (content server sizing) is an extra space provided to DMS documents apart from standard SAP Database storage.
this storage is mainly preferred where large amount of files (documents) need to be stored.
If standard SAP database is used then this will lead load on ECC server.
in order to avoid this, DMS content server is used.
Attributes considered are,
1) size of the content server depending upon the volume of documents in terms of word/excel/autocad etc per year and for projected 3-4 years.
2) depending upon the size of the content server estimated in 1, selection of hardware is required.
3) the platform on which this content server would be installed, it may be maxdb, 2003 server or unix etc.
hope this helps U..!
Thank You,

Is Working with Folders in EASY DMS only

Hi DMS Gurus,
1) Is Working with Folder a Special feature of Easy DMS and not much use if we donu2019t go for specifically working with Easy DMS,
2) Can Easy DMS and Normal DMS work simutaniously, ie.. can both be implemented simultaneously and used parallely when and where each ones need is raised.
3) What r the limitations of going with EASY DMS as compared to normal DMS,
like Working with Folders can be configured with normal DMS implementations also?
Thanks in Advance,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Easy DMS is an external software which can be installed.
In Easy DMS working/managing with the folders is the great facility which is not overall possible in standard DMS.
Easy DMS fetches the backend configuration done in standard SAP. Depending upon the user's comfortability Easy DMS is used,if user is not comfortable with the standard sap screen then he can use Easy DMS where all functions like standard DMS can be used.
Maintaining folders is a option for which Easy DMS is used very regularly.
Configurations watever done once in standard DMS is applicable for both standard DMS and Easy DMS.
In Easy DMS particular authorizations can be provided for particular folders.
Thank You,
Manoj
Pl. reward if useful.

DMS ACL

Hi,
I'm working on a DMS implementation project and trying to understand the scope of Access control management( ACL & ACC)
can any one tell me what will be the drawbacks or difficulties of implementaing ACL in large project or is it better to limit to groups in organisation.
Thanks In advance

Hello,
In my project we have used ACLs.
Its particularly more useful for Folder level authorizations in easy DMS.

Location of DMS ABAP enhancements

Greetings,
I am advised that various enhancements (made up of ABAP enhancements) were developed in our initial SAP DMS implementation. An example of two of them go by the names of "EH-DMS-001" and "EH-DMS-002".
I am unsure of where to find the enhancements. I went to transaction CMOD and do not see them there. Can you please advise?
Regards,
Keith Kibuuka

Hi Keith,
please go to transaction SE19 and here you will find also a field for enhancments.

Document attaching with Procurement document and Invoicing also

Hello Experts,
The query is to attach document with PR/PO, Invoice etc.We don't have DMS implemented in our system and we don't want to save these documents in SAP . The aim is that the attachment should be attached to these documents but is should be saved in a repository outside SAP because these attachments contain >70 pages (>100 sometimes in case on Invoicing). How can we achieve it?
We have .Net and SharePoint in place. Can we use them for this purpose?
Or if there is some other workaround to achieve the same.
Thanks for four valuable suggestions.
Saurabh

Thanks for your response Jurgen.
Though I have marked the discussion as answered yet I got few more points to ask from you,hope you understand that:
Firstly,during document attachment ,can we disable option for 'Create attachment' and keep the option for URL enabled?Please suggest me the way for it..
Also,perhaps in MM all transactions will not provide the options for linking document with URL or create attachment options,wherever necessary . Then which is the preferred way to deal with such transactions?
Secondly, If I attach a document with this way (screen shot) then source and destination remains the same as shown below:
Now, my query is " Is that possible the document is saved under a separate directory (like L drive) instead of the path shown in the screen shot (source and destination are same, I want a default store location with this where all such document will get stored). I hope you got what I am looking for..
Thanks & regards

EDMS and ERP systems

hi friends,
one of our customer is looking for document management system, and interesting with SAP solutions for document management.
but they use nonSAP system, and wonder if any SAP solutions like BI-BW tools exist for document management which is suitable.
when I m searching for this I saw eDMs but, actually, I have no idea about SAP DMS or eDMS.
can anyone give me brief explanations about this and the possibility of integration of eDMs with nonSAP system.
or advice me any satisfactory SAP solution.
thanx in advance.

Hi,
SAP DMS is a component of SAP ECC and therefore could be implemented as the initial deployment of a SAP ECC project, however, in practice this not typically the case. Most customers either implement SAP DMS in parallel to other ECC components or add SAP DMS to an existing implementation later.
Vendors conduct workshop for SAP customers to investigate their requirements for document and content management, and recommend potential scenarios for a SAP DMS deployment. Post that,you can define a SAP DMS implementation plan to fit within your current SAP roadmap.
For info on easy DMS(web-based access to SAP DMS) specifically,do browse through the below link:

Hope this answers your question.

Attach document while posting invoice in FB60

Hi Sap Experts,
I was out of luck finding a solution in this forum for one of the issue. Can we attach the scanned copy of invoice before posing or parking the invoice thru FB60. I knew its possible after parking the document, but my concern is it possible before parking or posting.
Some experts referred to use Document Management System, i dont have any idea how complex it is, I was wondering is it too complex or can it be done.
Or is there way without DMS for attaching the document.
My requirement is if there is any invoice without PO, it needs approval before posting. The approver would look at the invoice and if its approved it would be posted. How can this be handled in SAP.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,

Attaching docs in master data

Hi, is it possible to attach documents of ms office to material master, bom,work center,routing, prts etc in ecc 6.0. pls advise how to do that?

Dear Yadav,
You can create documents using CV01N and attach MS office files and attach the same in the material master or BOM or PRT.
In one of my project we have used the same,but limited only in the material master and BOM.Again there will be storage limitation for
this,where your Basis consultant can guide you more on this storage limitation or if you have DMS implemented,then its possible.
Check this link to explore more,Re: Attach a document to my BOM

Sap open text

Hi all
Can anyone please tell about this OPEN TEXT.How do we implement Opentext and how is it different from DMS.I have worked on DMS implementations ,but new to this OPENTEXT.
We have a requirement in Opentext implementation.Please suggest as how do we proceed.I couldn't find any standard documentation also on the same.
Regards,
Sandhya..

SAP of late has got into sales and support of Opentext(a content management solution).SAP has named Open Text as their preferred Records Management solution going forward.
Difference: SAP DMS and Opentext are solutions for separate requirements.SAP DMS is designed for technical documents like engineering drawings, designs, specifications(frequently edited) with rich features while Open Text solution caters to requirements involving scanning and attaching documents to transactions. Open text has scan options to allow you to scan, read barcodes and attach directly to a customer.
IMO,a SAP sales representative would be the ideal point of contact for taking the engagement forward.

Pradeepkumar Haragoldavar

DMS - PS Implementation

Hi DMS Gurus,
Greetings for the day..
I have one basic question is that, without implementing DMS, can we not assign any kind of documents?. Presently, we are not implementing DMS system.
Apart from the above, can we assign Win documents which are avaialbe in our system to WBS, Activities when we click on icon documents.
Also would like to know "Functiona Modules" and Tables for Documents.
Thanks in advance
Thanks
Sai Prathik

Hi!
From my point of view you should be able to attach document also without installed DMS. Then you won't attach documents by the DMS transactions like CV02n for example. Without DMS you can directly attach documents like PDFs or something else.
Concnering the Function Modules and Tables I can give you the following information:
Tables:
DRAO           original data from Vault
DMS_PHIO2FILE also original data
DMS_PH_CD1    also original data but if stored in KPRO
DRAW          Documentdata
TDWX           OLE2 flag or application data
TDWE           Frontendtype
TDWOD           Only New Auth flag links to objects
TDWP           Workstation application data
Function Modules:
All Document BAPIs (see SAP Note 766277 which contains the whole BAPI documentation)
CV100_DOCUMENT_SEARCH
I hope this information will help you.
Best regards,
Christoph Hopf
