Organise documents in a time-saving, clear and auditable way

Our SAP add-on provides a powerful solution for seamless integration and management of documents within the standard SAP environment. Using “Generic Object Services”, it can be contextually integrated into different business objects, enabling more flexible and effective document management.

smart-plm [documents] provides users with a clear power transaction that enables document-centric access. This allows users to quickly search for documents, browse tree-like directory structures, create new documents and make changes. This user-friendly interface makes working with documents in the SAP standard straightforward and efficient.

A unique feature of our SAP add-on is the ability to link documents and document structures to various SAP business objects via document records. This enables a wide range of use cases, including managing document records for materials, equipment, suppliers, customers, employees, production orders, purchase orders and PSP-elements from SAP PS.

Transparent document control – easy to use

Hierarchical structures are integrated in many SAP modules, including SAP PS and Plant Maintenance (SAP EAM / SAP PM), which can be automatically linked to a similar document structure. This creates transparency in document management and supports process, documentation and project management. Documents can be classified in the system according to various criteria, such as internal, external, technical or commercial, making it much easier to find them quickly.

For even more precise document control, the Document Management System (DMS) offers an innovative approach called ‘process route’. This allows approval processes to be started quickly and easily without having to resort to rigid SAP workflows. Proven SAP standard structures such as document info record, document structurese and classifications are used in the background of the application.

The user interface of smart-plm [documents] is based on the user-friendliness of Windows Explorer. This makes the add-on extremely intuitive and user-friendly. This makes it the ideal solution for SAP users migrating to S/4 HANA and looking for a replacement for SAP Easy DMS.
