Preventing Change of Documents

We would like to maintain some word documents on an existing server location and link them to some objects within SAP.
We are able to do this by defining a document carrier and adding it and the document name when creating a document via CV01N.   The idea being only to allow a link to the document with no changes done within SAP.  The documents can then be linked and launched.
When we launch the document via CV02N or CV03N, the document launches and allows editing to occur and subsequent saving of inadvertant changes to the server.
We'd like to only provide the display capability of the document in SAP with changes of the documents performed outside of SAP.
Is there a way to accomplish this that we are missing?

Dear heppyguy
I think if we try to implement this functionality by any means, we are solely loosing the purpose of implementing Document Management System.
If client is asking you to do such wrong Practices, please do not do this as they are not product developer but only Endusers.
This you should always be reminded to the client in case if such adverse requirement comes.
Sorry for such weared answer.
With warm Regards

  • FBV0 Post only - do not allow to change parked document

    I had FBV0 access to post parked document, no complaints.
    But, i should not be able change parked document.
    can we restrict FBV0 to Post only - do not allow to change parked document ??
    Thanks.

    Dear P1023,
    To segregate the authority to park and to post, i suggest that you
    either
    - use the exit provided by SAP note 361420 (BTE 1140) to deactivate the posting/
    parking button depending on users.
             OR
    - set up a validation to prevent a users from posting/parking
             OR
    - Use workflow to release the park documents.
    I hope this helps.

  • Restrict to prevent changes to pdf form

    Hi,
    I have a form that I would like to modify so that other uses cannot add/edit fields in the form. Users need to be able to fill out the form, I just want to prevent them from changing the forms structure or content.
    I have explored the security settings and none seem to accomplish what I want. See, I have seen forms that are restricted, but you are still able to click "Add/Edit Fields" to which it prompts the following error message:
    "This document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Adobe Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Reader), click Save a Copy."
    Also, I do not want the form to state "(SECURED)" in the document title.
    Looking at the form whose restriction I hope to replicate, if I go to Properties>Security, the Security Method is "No Security" but under the Document Restrictions Summary section, Changing the Document, Document Assembly, and Creation of Template Pages all are set to "Not Allowed * "
    I have not been able to replicate this style of restriction and was hoping to get some guidance. Thanks for the help.

    Please see the uploaded screenshots from the file that has the security settings that I wish to replicate. I would like to have it so my new form cannot be tampered with, only fiiled out.
    This is the message that appears when "Forms > Add or Edit Fields..." is selected.
    When I navigate to "File > Properties" I can see the document has these security settings.
    Can anyone provide me with help to try and replicate these security settings???
    Thank you.

  • 'Propagation of Properties' report changes unintended document types

    Hi All,
    could someone explain how the 'Propagation of Properties' works?
    I tested it for changing the custom property change. I have 4-5 different resource types with each property structure.
    My intention is to change a particular property value. So,
    I created a  document of that resource type and assigned the value for it.
    I selected the target folder(which also has other document types and doesnt contain this property) and give the property to propogate.
    then in the result summary, i could see along with the relavent document type, all other document type and folders meta data also changed. However i couldnt see those changes in the corresponding object details.
    I am really confused on how this is working.
    1. Does it changes other document types by adding this property as a new property?
    2. How can i see this new property value in the document type where the property is not maintained itself?
    3. how to avoid this ? in preventing other document types and folders to get changed.
    Please kindly clarify the questions. this would be very helpful in understanding.
    Regards

    hi all,
    Got the solution.
    1. Does it changes other document types by adding this property as a new property?
                 yes it impacts all the document types... including the folders
    2. How can i see this new property value in the document type where the property is not maintained itself?
                  if the added property is not part of property group. you wont able to see that.however the meta data would have updated with new property.
    3. how to avoid this ? in preventing other document types and folders to get changed.
                 Need to develop a custom report for the mass update of properties...
    thanks for your support

  • How can we change delivery document while doing shipment

    Hi all,
    How can we change delivery document in background while changing shipment document.My requirement is to change the netweight in delivery while doing shipment.Actually it gets blocked when we open the shipment.
    Thank You,
    Regards,

    Hi,
    if you have done the PGI(Post Goods Issue), you can't change the delivery.
    If you want to change the devlivery Qty, you should create the delivery with Partial Split (= X) and you can deliver the splitted qty with a new delivery.

  • How can I change a document from booklet to single pages

    How can I change a document from booklet to single pages?

    Very cumbersome.
    How many pages?
    Make a copy first.
    In Acrobat use the Crop tool to crop half the width. (Pages > Crop Pages.)
    For 11x17 to 8.5 x11  crop all even pages 8.5 left, all odd pages 8.5 right.
    Do you have InDesign?
    Create a new document correct to finished page size.
    (Use Import Multi Page script to) Place all pages offset by the proper page amount.
    Export new pdf.

  • How to change the document type while creating a PO by ME59N

    Hi,
    I  have 2 groups of PR's, for group one the document type is picked as NB and PO is created and for the group 2 it should pick as XYZ and PO should be created using ME59N tcode.
    How to change the document type for group 2 in ME59N? Which user exists to use to change the document type while creating PO in ME59N? 
    Can any one suggest me.

    Hi,
    There a config area, where you can define default PO doc types for a particular Pr doc type. If you maintain the settings properly there, then your requirement can be fulfilled.
    SPRO->IMG->MM->Purchasing->Purchase requisation->Define doc types.
    This will serve your purpose.

  • The application detected an error that prevents changes from being saved.

    Hi. I'm having this problem almost all the time when I do some color correction.
    "The application detected an error that prevents changes from being saved. To avoid losing your work, quit Final Cut Pro."
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    I'm on a 2010 Mac Pro running latest Mavericks and latest FCP X.
    I already removed FCP X, and all the effects I have installed. But still the issue persists.
    Thanks.

    That could have happened. I can't remember though.
    Is there any work around?
    I currently only have 1 open library and 1 event on it. If I move or copy that event into a new library, would that in theory work?
    Thanks for the help so far.

  • Transfer changes from Document to the Document Set [Sharepoint bug?]

    I I have Document Set, 1 Document inside and, for example,
    1 general field.
    Task: when I change Document I need to copy value of the general field to the Document Set.
    Problem: I made Workflow on Document that calls when I change it, this Workflow copies data to the Document Set.
    But it doesn't work, because when I change Document inside Document Set there are 2 events: "Document was changed" and "Document Set was changed". And the event "Document Set was changed" called first and it copies all general
    fields to all documents inside. That's why when my Workflow starts, field in Document has value from Document Set not the one that user typed.
    Any solutions to solve the task or problem (e.g. to increase the priority for Workflow on documents inside)?

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy the value of a field for a document inside a document set to the associated column for document set.
    How did you design your workflow?
    I did a test based on your description, and I used the ID (in my testing, the ID of the document set is 2)to find the associated document set, and the testAA is the column.
    My workflow is:
    In my testing, everything was ok. Please have a try as the above workflow, compare the result.

  • Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

    Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

    Nichelle,
    You must add your own background object, and then make it Black.
    Insert > Shape > Rectangle
    In the Wrap Inspector, set to Floating.
    In the Graphic Inspector, set Stroke to None and set Fill to Black.
    Grab the corners of the document and stretch the document to cover the entire page.
    Back in the Wrap Inspector select "In Background".
    Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.

  • ABAP runtime error in FBV2 Change parked document using workflow

    Hi,
    When selecting screen template variant in tcode FBV2 change parked document, I get abap runtime error DYNPRO_NOT_FOUND
    Tcode- FBV2
    Program- SAPLF040
    Screen- SAPLF040  0310

    In the source code you have the termination point in line 50 of the (Include) program " <SYSINI> "
    How can we solve this error. We are on ECC6 with release 600.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    We have this same issue in transaction F-65
    I believe that when a new screen template is configured, a new screen is generated within function group F040. A later action (applying a hotpack??) has removed this screen, but the config (in table T021D) still points the processing to the screen even though it has been removed.
    Did you find a solution? We want to get the screen back as it is still valid to use this screen template in the business
    Thanks

  • Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents??

    Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents saved in pages and save them again? It keeps saying access denied when its my computer and I have Lion OS X

    Right click the document and select 'get info'.  Check the permissions for the file.  If several of these files have the wrong permissions then you may need to repair user permissions.  See this for instructions:

  • Change FI document items created from MIRO

    Hi All
    I'm creating invoices with MIRO transaction.
    I want to change some document items of FI document related to one invoice, assigning the vendor number of header invoice to the field bseg-lifnr created in FI document.
    I have tried with BTEs, substitutions, exit LMR1M001, BADI Invoice_Update and Enhancement in MRM_INVOICE_PREPARE_AND_POST.
    I can't find the way to change this field of the FI document during posting with any of these techniques.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi niraj and Rob
    I have made a substitution at line level that calls a user exit created in report ZRGGBS000.
    This works fine in FI documents created from FI transactions like FB01 but the MIRO execution doesn't pass for it.
    Our users are responsible of some profit centers.
    They want to know in profit center analysis all invoices that refer to their own profit centers, and who are their respective vendors.
    In those analysis, they see GL line items of incomes and expenses and need to know the vendor that origins them.
