The most frequently asked questions about
digital document management in SAP

What does SAP DMS mean?

DMS is the abbreviation for document management system. DMS software is a solution that enables the automated and holistic management of documents and information. A DMS runs on a database and enables a high level of accessibility and secure archiving of documents within an organization that can be connected to SAP.

Why connect a document management system to SAP?

The most important reasons for introducing a DMS in a company include legally compliant electronic archiving in accordance with GoBD and GDPR. In addition, electronic documents can be found in seconds, home office and collaborative working are made possible and, last but not least, costs are saved (paper, printers, processing times, etc.).

What is SAP ArchiveLink?

ArchiveLink is an interface in SAP ERP that can be used to manage files and associated data. SAP ArchiveLink can be used to store, retrieve and display documents and data in an electronic archive. The interface establishes a link between archived documents in the DMS and the corresponding application documents entered in the SAP system.

What is SAP CMIS?

CMIS stands for Content Managed Interoperability Services and is an open, vendor-independent standard for connecting content management systems, such as a document management system. In the SAP S/4HANA Cloud, the SAP ArchiveLink interface is no longer supported and has been replaced by the CMIS standard. When it comes to using cloud services such as S/4HANA ES, C/HANA or SuccessFactors, CMIS-based archiving will be a must in the future.

What is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?

The GDPR is a European Union regulation governing the processing of personal data. It aims to ensure the protection of this data as well as the free movement of data within the European single market.

What does audit-proof archiving mean?

Audit-proof archiving basically means that stored data is protected against subsequent changes or premature deletion. In addition, the information on the data is archived in a traceable, retrievable, unalterable and tamper-proof manner. This is based on the GoBD.

Is DMS software for my SAP audit-proof & legally compliant?

A DMS is not automatically audit-proof and legally compliant. An independent auditor can assess audit compliance on the basis of an expert opinion based on the GoBD. In addition, audit compliance requires proper use of the DMS.
