INTRODUCTION

We utilize SAP classification system, to hold recorddata for different SAP business objects like documentinfo records.

We have to modify the arrangement as per our need toexchange file information of the archives in sap DMS.

That means, we have to secure classes and assign listfields, otherwise called characteristics, to them.

The Principle Consultants of ArchitectSAP Solution hasimplemented this process effectively in one of theirclientsproject.

Process..

Here, we need to make the characteristics first,then we make class and afterward we relegatethese characteristics to the class.

After doing it we assign this class to documenttype.

While creating document in CV01N using thisdocument type, we get the characteristics to beassigned in the documents.

At ArchitectSAP Solutions, an effective SAP BASISconsulting is provided through implementation ofsuch processes.
