Setting up a Document management system in SharePoint 2013

Hello All,
I have come across a scenario where Customer needs a Document management system for their organization.
They want to keep the documents of different departments like sales, HR,Finace in corresponding folders and want to include a workflow for approval of the Documents. Also, Documents related to particular department can be modified or added by users in that
department.
I thought of creating a seperate site collection for this purpose & document libraries of each department, setting up the permission on document library level. Is this a correct approach?
I am new to Enterprise content management system of sharepoint. Can anybody give me a guidance on this how to get started.
Regards
Vishnu

Creating separate site collection for each department will help you scale and grow better and easier to group SharePoint sites together.
Refer to the following articles which will give you an idea about the plan you should do before building a Document management system

hi
try with this
SAP DMS - Document Management System
SAP DMS are for storing documents such as CAD drawings, Materials pictures etc.
With the document management system, users will be able to view the documents with ease within their SAP systems.
Installing the SAP DMS requires a little bit of planning on how you want to do it.
You have to give a little thoughts to stuff such as :-
1. The total numbers of documents that will be store monthly.
2. The average file size of each documents.
3. The capacity of your present R/3 system.
4. Your present network bandwidth.
5.   Document Archiving Strategy.
6.   Backup and Recovery Plan.
Additional purchasing of hardware are required, especially if you have large amount of documents to stored.
With this in mind, you can then decide on how you want to do it.
You can do this in a few ways :-
1. Import the documents into the R/3 system.
2. Use an external document server.
3. Have a dedicated PCs where all the documents are stored.
Most companies that intend to used DMS will opt for Option 2 as they does not want to overstretch the R/3 database.
Options 1 requires you to setup the conversion interface.
The conversion interface allows R/3 to automatically covert your files and import it into the R/3 database.
Here is a simple example of storing documents into your PCs, just to have a feel how the SAP DMS works:-
For those using Citrix, you have to set this at the Citrix Server where the SAPGUI is located.
Configure SM30 - V_TDWE_C1
Put this command in your autoexec.bat
SET HOSTNAME=PC1234
Restart your pc.
You can create/manage your documents in transaction code CV01N / CV02N
Assigning Documents to a Material Master Record
Access a material master record in Create or Change mode, and select Basic Data.
To create links to documents, choose Additional data -> Document data.
The Link to Documents dialog box appears.
Assign one or more documents to the material.
If you do not know what the document number is, you can search for it using the search help or by choosing Find document.
When assigning a document to a material, you have the following options:
1. Viewing the document by choosing it in the Link to Documents dialog box.
2. Viewing any originals of the document by positioning the cursor on the document and
   choosing Display originals in the Link to Documents dialog box.
To return to the Basic Data screen, choose Continue.
Save your data.
all the best

Document Management System in KM

hi experts,
can anyone share few points on Document Management System life cycle.
can anybody give me steps for DMLC
thank you,
vijai

hello Vijay,
Although there are no set guidelines given by SAP.You can think on these lines.
1)All work in progress documents are managed in collaboration room and most of the users who work on these documents within a group are its members.
2)Set up certain guidelines/principles on these documents once finished/finalised. The room owners migrates the documents into appropriate folders in KM.
3)If the documents(once moved) then requires a Approval set up approval process.
4)Documents moved into km are tagged with attributes.
5)Documents once approved give the end users feedback and ratings option to complete a lifecycle.
6)Lastly you would like to set up templates in collaboration room to maintain consistency.
7)Enable Enterprise search only on documents in KM as collaboration room documents are work in progress.
8)Enable versioning on word documents/xls sheets
hope this helps

Document Management System for sap mm point of view steps

Hi All.
Document management system for sap mm point of view steps required.
Thanks in advance for all sap mm forum members.

Hi,
Customizing settings can be collected by processes into Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets). BC Sets make Customizing more transparent by documenting and analyzing the Customizing settings. They can also be used for a group rollout, where the customizing settings are bundled by the group headquarters and passed on in a structured way to its subsidiaries.
BC Sets are provided by SAP for selected industry sectors, and customers can also create their own.
When a BC Set is created, values and combinations of values are copied from the original Customizing tables into the BC Set and can be copied into in the tables, views and view clusters in the customer system. The BC Sets are always transported into the customer system in which Customizing is performed.
Advantages of using BC Sets:
1.     Efficient group rollout.
2.     Industry sector systems are easier to create and maintain.
3.     Customizing can be performed at a business level.
4.     Change Management is quicker and safer.
5.     Upgrade is simpler.
To create BC sets follow the below step:
Choose Tools ® Customizing ® Business Configuration Sets® Maintenance in the SAP
menu, or enter the transaction code SCPR3 in the command field.
Choose Bus.Conf.Set ® Create.

How to install EASY DMS (Document Management System) setup in windows 7

Dear Experts,
Recently we have started a project to establish document management system in SAP. So, i have downloaded easydms7.1sp04 from the servicemarketplace service.sap.com/swdc and setup is successfully installed in windows Xp and unable to install successfully in windows 7.
The SAP is upgraded in our company to release ERP6 EHP6.
In windows Xp the DMS is accessing to all the systems in the landscape( DEV, QAS, PRD).
But, In windows 7 it is only accessing the production system and if creating manually the systems prompting the error about RFC and hosts in windows 7.

Hi Sir,
As mentioned earlier it is prompting me the error
Logon Failed (RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE)
Name or Password is incorrect (repeat logon)
But it is accessing only the production system in windows 7 but not all the 3 systems which are in landscape. I dont know how can it proceed to logon to the production system only with out other systems .
Thanks in advance

Document Management System in Oracle EBS

HI All,
does the EBS offer a document management system where I can store, check in/check out, display... documents with meta data and also original files (like a pdf or word file)?
If something like this exists, what are the corresponding objects and is there also an API for it (pl/sql or even better, web service)?
Many thanks,
Konrad

It is possible to store documents/attachments in Oracle EBS database.
attachment tables
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/search.jspa?threadID=&q=attachment+tables&objID=c3&dateRange=all&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001
This does not look a real "Document Management System" with meta data, version control, status handling and all that stuff, right?
If you are looking for a complete Document Management System, you may consider this product.

I need to integrate third party software to the EBS in so, other products do not help me. But thx anyway!

Document Management System

i want to write a Document Management System to read the content of the MS Word file and convert it to the PDF file using java.
Does any java api can do this??
Thank You

There are a number of solutions, none of which, unfortunately, are trivial:
In decreasing scale of difficulty:
a) Hand-code the entire solution. PDF and MS DOC are both well documented formats.
I wouldnt recommend you try this.
b) Use ready-made open source libraries:
Other than the ones mentioned earlier, there is an Apache Libraray (POI ?) which can be used for reading and writing streamed OLE objects (which is what a word doc is)
c) Use the Java-Activex bridge and use mature COM/Activex components
WinWord itself is an Activex component. There are loads of mature Activex components that can spew out PDF.
d) If platform is not an issue, use C# or VB.NET
I'll probably get flamed for this.
I am not a .NET advocate usually, but in this particular case you should be able to complete your task with least effort by using mature Activex libraries and one of the .NET languages.
