2. Document Management Greg Olynyk
How many of you have problems with document management ? Are you still looking through file cabinets, looking through drawing archives, rolling out drawing after out-dated drawing, for each work order ?
Managing documents is difficult and time consuming for the frontline SAP PM user.  Yet file management is important and, in many cases, required for maintenance and repair work to be initiated.  Our planners used to spend hours manually creating document packages for their work crews.  Now, with the use of task lists, PRTs, and Work Order attachments, they have automated many repetitive procedures and provide the crews with better information in an easier method.  In this presentation, I will describe how we are streamlining processes for document management.

4. Why Documents? “A Picture is worth a thousand words”
Improves communication, compliance, reduces penalties
Provides field technicians with information to do their jobs
Aging workforce – capture knowledge
You can do it all in SAP
Third party Printing Add-on produces document packages for work orders

5. What is a Document ?
Job procedures, lock-outs, sketches, drawings, pictures, work lists
Check Lists (Excel can have multiple authors)
Inventory Pictures
Manuals
Videos
Excel > Tools > Share Workbook (research this capability first, you do lose some Excel abilities, Pros usually out-weigh the cons)

6. Horror Stories… 12 page print out !
Object Services – attachments; fill up SAP server
BMP (huge file size)
Poor File management skills…people make mistakes, rename, move, no naming conventions, poor folder structures
Personal Mapped drive links
Symbols in Filenames #$%&*
A person attached a JPG directly to a Work Order (Object) and when someone went to print it, they got a picture made up of 12 pages, a little bit of the picture on each page, since the JPG resolution was very high, its physical print size was 10 foot square.
Many people “map” a network path to a drive letter of their choice, the path will have their designated drive letter and not work for anyone else. Mapped drives should only be used if scripted for all users to the same drive letter.
Links are severed if a user modifies the filename or path.
Old software, like MS Photo Editor, paste images as BMPs instead of compressed JPGs, so avoid old software, we use MS Picture Manager to view images and batch edit, it is safe to copy & paste from there.

7. Topics to Cover Storing Documents Creating SAP Documents (links)
Object Links to Masters in “Document Settings”
BOM Links
Task List Operation Links (PRTs)
Work Order Operation Links (PRTs)
Object Services in PM Work Orders
Print Manager from Prometheus within PM Work Orders

8. Topics Simplified
Each BOM – procedures/site map/calibrations/sketches that the trades can view from the floor – reference documentation to make their job easier. They can see these docs from the FL Structure with or without a Work Order
PRT – planned documentation that you require to be printed every time the work order is printed and in the case of a task list, all procedures, pictures, site maps, check sheets required each time the job is scheduled.
Object – reminders to planners/supervisor of unique procedures, safety issues, regulation requirements (confined space entry, burn permits etc) used in the planning of the object.
URL – check sheets, one time picture etc.  – “one time” – just for this work order

9. Storing Documents on Network
Network Places - Read / Write
Directory Protocol (by Planner GRP or FL)
Naming Conventions (noun-asset number)
File size (compression , batch resize jpg)
Linking issues
Avoid user mapping
Avoid renaming or moving files

10. Creating Document Links in SAP
Access via data carriers for Consistency
Document Types (Drawings, Documents, JPGs, )
Versioning (gotcha)
Release Strategy
Auto-numbering Documents
Naming Conventions (so you can find them)

11. Create Document (CV01N, try cv00)
Warning: Once SAVED, if you [Enter], it creates a new doc with the same document name and type, so it prompts for a new version.
If you wanted to re-enter the one just saved, use the menu path “Document Change” or CV02N

12. Create Document (CV01N, try cv00)
If you do not specify a Document name, it will assign an auto-number.
Document types can be set to only allow a specific number from a number range, as we use for ISO docs
Templates can be used to create a new document link, saving lots of setup time and encouraging consistency

13. We default most document types to be created as “FR”, i.e. “Released”
Some companies may require documents to be approved before being allowed to be link to, “In Work” documents are awaiting approval, and are not available to use.
Upon changing tabs, it will prompt you to log a note on status condition

14. Basic Attributes Application associated Data Carrier by file type
Browse to the document
Network Directory paths defined for each file type
Browse to select the document (creates the link)

15. Object Links Select the Object Links tab;
Select the Appropriate Object Tab
Specify the Object(s) such Equipment Masters or Functional Location Masters or Material Masters
There is an opportunity for automation here, we automated material master JPG documents by the material number as the filename… we used a batch resizing application to resize all the jpgs so they show nicely on each Material Master sheet in MM01.

16. Object Links
By associating a document to an object(s) (example; FL or EQ), the master sheet and any Notification or Work Order created to that object will have the link available via the icon
Note: This does NOT add it to the BOM(s)
Create the object link

17. Documents in BOMs (IB02, IB12, CS02)
Technical Objects > Bill of Material > FL BOM > Change
Valid from date makes the change only seen from that date onwards, so older work orders will show the older BOM
TIP: use Assembly BOMs (IBAUS) for same documents (and/or materials) in multiple FL or EQ

18. D is for Document
Add “d” or “D” then [Enter] or Green check

19. Searching Document
Double click choice

20. Order of Items

21. Verify

22. Documents in Work Orders
PRT in Task Lists Operations (IA12)
PRT in Work Order Operations (IW32)
Object Services (PM Work Order)

23. PRT in Task Lists Operations (IA12)
Search to locate document, the document will fill in the form for you…

24. TIP: You could use General task lists to store not only operations and components, but linked documents (PRTs), that can all be pulled into any work order via menu path; Extras > Task Lists > General (ex. SAF for safety operations that may require sign-off check lists, SRV for Service contracts that may require contracts printed to be signed)

25. PRT in Task Lists Operations (IA12)

26. PRT in Work Order Operations (IW32)

28. PRT in Work Order Operations (IW32)

29. Object Services We use this for temporary document to the Work Order
Does not copy over from Task List
Supports URL to website(s)
Do not attach JPG directly (printing and server issues)
Paste image into WORD, compress images
Arrows and Call-outs in WORD
Save file into read/write network directory
Link to SAP Documentation
Task list header “attachments” do not copy over to the work order, use PRTs linked to the appropriate operation instead.
Capture the link you want to put into an SAP Object “URL” first, WORD, EXCEL, PowerPoint have the handy Web Toolbar…

30. PDF - Right Click > Open With… IE
Spot the Danger ?
Right click > “Open With” >Internet Explorer for PDFs
Copy the Internet Explorer address of the PDF file
Warning; must be stored on network place, not Desktop or C drive or mapped drive…

31. TIP: in Vista+; [Shift] Right click any file > Copy Path
TIP: Office 2007; Add command “Document Location” to Quick Access toolbar…
TIP: in Vista+; [Shift] Right click any file > Copy Path
Right click toolbars to be able to activate the web toolbar in Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2003, = Add command “Document Location” to Quick Access toolbar…

32. Create Attachment’ this copies the file to the server !
TIP: The clipboard icon is better than [Ctrl][v] in SAP in many situations since SAP only pastes into visible cells with [Ctrl][v]
Create Attachment’ this copies the file to the server !

33. View / Edit or Delete Object Services
Right Click to display “action menu”

34. Printing PM Work Orders
Work Order Print Manager by Prometheus
Shop-papers (un-released Work Orders too)
Object Services (default to Print)
PRTs (default to Print)
FL / EQ documents
Can control at operational level with WOPM

36. BOM – procedures/site map/calibrations/sketches that the trades can view from the floor – reference documentation to make their job easier. They can see these docs from the FL Structure with or without a Work Order
PRT – planned documentation that you require to be printed every time the work order is printed and in the case of a task list, all procedures, pictures, site maps, check sheets required each time the job is scheduled.
Object – reminders to planners/supervisor of unique procedures, safety issues, regulation requirements (confined space entry, burn permits etc) used in the planning of the object.
