Use
For real estate objects, there are three options for storing and managing documents:
- SAP Records Management
- Document Management (DMS)
- Business Document Navigator
The strategy you choose for storing your documents is dependent on your specific needs related to the process, and the number of documents involved.
- Records Management is particularly able to support a record-oriented and process-oriented view of documents. For more information on this component (BC-SRV-SRM), see the SAP Library. Choose Application Platform (SAP Web Application Server) -> Business Services -> SAP Records Management. Also see the Implementation Guide. Choose SAP NetWeaver -> Application Server -> Basis Services -> Records Management.
- The Document Management (DMS) component supports a document-centered view. For more information on this component (CA-DMS), see the Implementation Guide. Also see SAP Library. Choose SAP ERP Central Component -> Cross Application Components -> Document Management.
- The Business Document Navigator (BDN) is suitable if you do not need a record-oriented or process-oriented view, and only need to store small numbers of documents. You do not need to make any additional Customizing settings to use the Business Document Navigator. Storage is based on Business Document Service (BDS). For more information on this component (BC-SRV-BDS), see the Implementation Guide. Also see the SAP Library. Choose Application Platform (SAP Web Application Server) -> Business Services -> Business Document Navigator.
You can configure these three tools separately for each real estate object type. For example, you could use records in Records Management for managing real estate contracts, while you use the Business Document Navigator to store and display documents for business entities and buildings.
In the RE Navigator, you can go to the document management type for the given object by choosing @FT@ with the quick info text Document Management. The system determines which tool is displayed (Records Management, DMS or BDN) dependent on the configuration of the real estate object, and using the following sequence:
- If Records Management was set to active in Customizing, then the system displays the Records Organizer.
- If the document management component was configured in Customizing , then the system displays it.
- If no settings were made on this subject in Customizing, then the system displays the Business Document Navigator.
Requirements
