The Documentum-R/3 Interface In a typical process manufacturing environment, information exists in a variety of formats (images, word processing documents, spreadsheets, HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents. Relatively easy for nonprogrammers to master, HTML is the language used for documents on the World Wide Web. Web pages, CAD drawings) throughout the entire enterprise value chain. SAP users need the ability to access both SAP- and non-SAP generated documents, and to archive documents for subsequent access. In addition, stringent quality regulations require manufacturers in many industries to comprehensively manage their manufacturing operations via external documents such as standard operating procedures (SOPs), standard test methods, compliance records and engineering drawings and specifications. The Documentum-R/3 integration addresses these challenges by enabling users to access any document stored in a Documentum Docbasei repository directly from their PP-PI screens. In a typical configuration, the Documentum EDMS manages the creation, review, revision, approval and release of external documents. PP-PI users can instantly view SOPs and other documents stored in a Docbase, and the Documentum EDMS ensures that the approved document is being delivered to the appropriate user. Batch record reports can be generated by SAP R/3 and automatically stored in a Docbase. Using Documentum's Virtual Document Manager, reports and external documentation for a given batch can be linked together for easy retrieval. The integration of SAP and Documentum products will utilize standard business application programming interfaces (BAPIs). The completed product is scheduled to ship by the end of the year.
