CV01N Create Documents

SAP Document Management System (DMS)

Documents stored in SAP with DMS (Document Management System) and Open text. Open text is a repository which just holds documents. We do not use any functionally of Open text but all document features are used from SAP DMS.

Before creating “document links” in SAP, you should see how they are accessed.

Create Document Info Record (DIR) CV01N

Essentially a DIR is a link to an existing document either already on the network or in open text or a local file that you can copy into Open Text by “checking it in”.

Document field should be blank to create a new document, allowing SAP to assign a unique number.Document type is a required field, specify the Z code that best describes the document(s) you will be linking to.

The Document Part and Version will default to 000 / 00

Note: DIR templates can be created and used to simply the steps that follow.

[Enter] or green check to continue


Provide a description of the DIR Set the status to Released Lab/Office will help you search your DIRs later

Authorization group controls who can see or use the DIR and improves searching as well

Click the Open icon to “upload” a file on your local computer or to a location that does not have a data carrier - simply browse to the file (V:\users if using Cytrix)

Click the “Create Original” icon to create the new Original link to a location via a data carrier


Specify the Application to open the Original (PDF or WRD or XLS)

Give a brief description of the file

Use a Data Carrier to navigate to stored documents on the network, S drive, etc.

These data carriers have been defined in SAP (Nev_01 to Nev_13) for Nevada region. This is where Ellipse documents were stored. We migrated all standard job documents from these links and stored them in Open text Repository. Documents that are currently sitting in these folders only serve as a backup in case you want to re-load an old document.

If your document is stored in one of the links above, you will be able to choose the document. One important thing to note is, SAP will not let you select the data carrier if you don’t have access to it as it will generate an error.

Browse to locate the file;

Note: if no data carrier specified, navigate to your files via the Citrix V: drive, specify your username then navigate as usual


Now you will need to check in the document into the OPEN Text Repository. Note the newly added document is not in locked position. Unlocked position indicates that the document is not checked in to the Open text. When you check in the document it gets ‘locked’ into Open text.

Check in Original by clicking the icon;

DD is the only one defined for Plant Maintenance Documents, double click this row;

Note: You can have multiple originals in one DIR, in a WO, they would list like this;

Now the icon shows it is checked in and you can save and exit

Template to Create a new DIR CV01N

First someone needs to create the template. This is the same procedure as before, only you can use a “name” for the DIR rather than a number. Also, you can have the DIR with no originals, so the user just needs to click the magnify glass, browse to the file and check it in and save.


This example is for all safety procedures at Carlin M6, that are all stored on the same Data carrier and are all PDF… mass upload to SAP is another way….
