Hi,

Document class is already defined in the SAP-standard and

designates the storage-format for the external archive system.

An XML document can belong to precisely one document class. The document class is used to index different types of XML documents, such as books or articles, by different criteria. To enable this, definitions of your chosen XML indexes are assigned to the document class. The indexing service uses these definitions to determine the index values in all documents in this document class.

Regards,

Siddharth.

Hi,

SAP Note:383104 explains the use of this field. I quote from the note which is self explanatory:

Quote begins:

"Symptom

As of CRM Release 3.0, field VBAK-VBKLA is used to indicate CRM sales orders after the transfer to the R/3 System. In this field, information on the original system and on the workflow management in the R/3 System is stored.

Additional key words

Sales order, SD, CRM, delivery, APO, ATP

Cause and prerequisites

The CRM sales order processing is further developed where the availability check in the APO System and supply by the R/3 LES component are provided.
