We would like to maintain some word documents on an existing server location and link them to some objects within SAP.
We are able to do this by defining a document carrier and adding it and the document name when creating a document via CV01N. The idea being only to allow a link to the document with no changes done within SAP. The documents can then be linked and launched.
When we launch the document via CV02N or CV03N, the document launches and allows editing to occur and subsequent saving of inadvertant changes to the server.
We'd like to only provide the display capability of the document in SAP with changes of the documents performed outside of SAP.
Is there a way to accomplish this that we are missing?
