Document
| Document Class | SIMG | Hypertext: Object Class - Class to which a document belongs. |
| Document Name | SIMG_OLPR_CEPDOC |
In this activity you enter document types that can be linked to each other. The documents you link can have no further significance than as documents. However they may be placeholders for future objects in the SAP System.
Any kind of document can be linked to another document. The following are examples of the types of documents that can be linked:
Purchase Order (POI) - Request or instruction from a purchasing organization to a vendor (external supplier) or a plant to deliver a certain quantity of material or to perform certain services at a certain point in time.
Equipment (EQU) - Individual, physical object that is to be maintained as an autonomous unit.
Bill of Material (BOM) - A complete, formally structured list of the components that make up a product or assembly. The list contains the object number of each component, together with the quantity and unit of measure.
Vendor (VEN) - Business partner from whom materials or services can be procured.
Material (MAT) - Good that is the subject of business activity.
Example
You want to convert document type MAT to a material later using the Placeholder Object Workbench. You use another document type, for example VEN to represent a future vendor. By creating a link between the two documents you can specify that the vendor is to be used for the material .
Requirements
Both document types must use the Knowledge Provider.

Further notes
Table: CEPDOCDOCTYPES
The table is extended to include a category for each FROM / TO assignment. The category serves as a descrption for the placeholder objects. Currently there are 14 categories.
Category 0: Placeholder objects of this type can be created offline without a relationship to another placeholder object.
Category 1: Top-level placeholder appearing as an entry point in the browser tree. Most placeholders with a category 0 also have category 1. This ensures that suppliers can create purchase orders themselves.
Category 2: Delete function allowing the placeholder and all objects below it, which are no longer referenced, to be deleted.
Category 3: Add function that creates a TO placeholder object linking it to the FROM object.
Category 4: Assign function allowing the user to search through a list of TO placeholders and create a (reference) link between it and the FROM object.
Category 5: Indicates the maximum number of TO placeholders linked to FROM placeholders. For example, the maximum number of placeholders linked between an equipment and a vendor could be 2 (manufacturer and/or vendor).
Category 6: The text that appears on the dialog box in the browser tree and in the detail view. For example, MAT - MAT -> "Material".
Category 7: Function that determines which icon will be used in the browser for the placeholder type. For example, EQU - EQI -> "Icon 1".
Category 8: Indicates the minimum number of TO placeholders linked to FROM placeholders.
Category 9: Indicates that attaching documents is allowed for TO placeholders. If the number 1 is entered in the description field, the attachments are read-only.
Category 10: Copy function allowing FROM placeholder objects to be copied.
Category 11: Reassign function.
Category 12: Not viewable; only with attachments.
Category 13: Flagged as classification irrelevant.
Category 14: Can be hidden or shown in the ActiveX tree.
