Use

In this IMG activity, you define the attachment types that you want to use in your processes or form scenarios.

Attachments are used to provide additional information or supplementary documents. A differentiation is made between any information that cannot be specifically classified that any process agent can add (in principle), and documents that are required for the business execution of a process. For example, the "Maternity Leave" process requires the employee to submit a certificate of pregnancy.

The attachment type delivered in the standard system, General Attachments (SFREEATTM), enables you to add attachments that cannot be classified more precisely. All other attachment types (delivered in the standard system or created by you) uniquely classify the attachment. They provide information about which document is to be provided when the process is executed. The system cannot check whether the object provided is actually the required document.

All attachment types are potentially available for all form scenarios/processes. In the IMG activity Create Form Scenario under the Attributes of Attachment Types node (in the dialog structure under Versions -> Scenario Steps), you define which of the attachment types is actually used. You also define here whether the attachment is only optional or mandatory for the relevant processing step, and which authorization exists for processing the attachment (Display versus Change).

Requirements
