Using bar codes for archived documents in SAP

For certain business processes, we need to create bar code entries in the SAP system and attach archived document to it. During order processing, customer service user should able to access this archived document via the SAP transaction. If you want to learn more about SAP data archive process, please click here.
A typical example would be;
  • Sales department has received a purchase order with a bar code
  • Sales person can create a sales order in SAP based on this written purchase order. Upon saving the sales order, system will give a popup to enter the bar code. User can either enter the bar code manually or scan the original bar code through a bar code scanner.
  • Later when he scan and archive the document in to SAP, the "SAP Archive Link" will automatically recognize the bar code on the customer purchase order and assign the SAP sales document to the archived object. Later users can retrieve this customer purchase order directly via sales document in SAP.
You can use below explained configuration to attached such a bar code to a sales document in SAP.

Manual Schedule Line Category is not supported in IS-AFS

In SAP, we have an option to change the item category or schedule line category manually in the sales order line item. Prior to do that in the sales order, you have to customize the item category / schedule line category assignment.
You can assign “Manual Item category” in the IMG path, Sales and Distribution / Sales / Sales Documents / Sales Document Item / Assign Item Categories
Same manner you can assign “Manual Schedule Line category” in the IMG path, Sales and Distribution / Sales / Sales Documents / Schedule Lines / Assign Schedule Line Categories
If you have above settings in place, you can manually override the default item category / Schedule line category in the sales order item.
But this feature is not supported in IS-AFS.
