For incoming documents in SAP NetWeaver® it is common to use barcode scenarios. These scenarios support linking of scanned documents to their Business Objects in SAP NetWeaver®. The accounting process of the incoming documents in SAP NetWeaver® might take place before or some time after the document was scanned and stored in the Therefore™ architecture. To bring both parts together, a barcode is used to match both components. The matching process is done automatically by thw Therefore™ Barcode service installed on the Therefore™ Server.

 

Scenario 1: Documents get scanned before booking in SAP NetWeaver® .

 

1.A barcode is placed on the incoming paper document right after the document arrives.

2.The document is scanned with Thereforeâ„¢ Capture Client, a defined barcode profile is used to recognize the barcode information on the scanned paper during the scanning operation.

3.The barcode is transported to SAP NetWeaver® automatically, using the Therefore™ Barcode service (External Barcodes).

4.The document gets booked in SAP NetWeaver® and the barcode must be entered.

5.The barcode is stored in the SAP NetWeaver® document accounting (internal barcodes).

6.The two tables internal & external barcodes are matched and if a match is found the Business Object is linked to the scanned document.

 

Scenario 2: Document was booked in SAP NetWeaver® and is captured into Therefore™ later.

 

1.The Document gets booked in SAP NetWeaver®.

2.The barcode is stored in the SAP NetWeaver® document accounting. (Internal Barcode).

3.The physical document makes its way through the departments.

4.The document gets scanned in Thereforeâ„¢ Capture Client, a defined barcode profile is used to recognize the barcode information on the scanned paper during the scanning operation.

5.The barcode is automatically transported to SAP NetWeaver®, using the Therefore™ Barcode service.

6.The barcode matches both, the accounting and its digital document in SAP NetWeaver®.

 

Barcode capture profiles are designed using the profile wizard in the Thereforeâ„¢ Capture Client. Please see the Thereforeâ„¢ User Manual for details on how to do this.  In addition please note the items below which are specific to SAP NetWeaver®.

 

Index fields

For some of the defined standard index data fields in the Thereforeâ„¢ categories,  standard entries have to be set automatically during the scanning process.

 

 

 

Storage

Set the Storage Mode to Multi-page Tiff. This allows all pages of the document to be displayed using an internal SAP NetWeaver® viewer.
