Yes Rajesh.. You can perform the data archiving without looking into DMS. Only less archiving objects will have the attachments in thier business process.

But it would be good if you can perform the archiving(storage) of unstructured data(Document's) into a content server first and then structured data(Data) for future reference.

Hi Rajesh,

May I know which data(from which tables) you want to archive archive the data.

Customization and dependencies will get change based on archiving object.Please go through the below link on more data archiving concepts.

Kindly provide the business requirement.

Hi Rajesh,

SAP DMS is meant for storing attachments linked to SAP generated document. There is no deletion of entries from database involved.

For Archiving , apart from storing the archived data into a repository we need to perform deletion of entries from database.

It would be good if you can elaborate your query a bit more.

Hi Deepak,

  Thanks for your response.

  My scenario is like this,

   When user is creating a PO he will have some reference documents (like scanned documents etc )

   now along with the po details i have to maintain these reference document links also.

  All these documents where maintained in some share folder or other server.

   so that when ever user want to see those reference documents he will just click on on that link .

     If you have any idea on this , please let me know

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Rajesh,

Best solution is to implement SAP DMS using content Server. You can upload the scanned copies using DMS transaction codes and check-in into Content server database. Later link it to the PO created.

So when you open a PO using ME23N you can view PO details as well as attachments associated with that PO along with versions of those attachments.

Hope this helps.

Dear Rajesh,

For attaching documents from PO. Select the PO Line item and attach document follow the screen shot.

Prerequisite are Select the particular document type and click object link EPRO or EBAN for PO and PR in this object give 1 or 2 for "Create document" as per your requirement.

Hope this will Help
