Scanner

Paper documents reach the archive through the scanning workstation. To match a scanned sheet to the right SAP document, ECM-Connect works with barcodes: the document carries a barcode, and the scanned file is matched and linked through it.

What is this for?

• Get paper documents into the archive without manual assignment.
• Establish the link between paper and SAP document through the barcode.
• Control retention and reuse of the barcodes.

How to set it up

1. Enable the scan client in the document link.
2. Use auto barcode to decide whether the barcode is generated automatically and must barcode whether it is mandatory.
3. Define the archive field for the barcode via the ECMBARCODEFIELD setting.
4. Set the retention period via ECMBARCODERETENSION (in months).
5. Print the documents – the barcode is applied –, scan them and file them.
