In order to configure communication between SAP and tia Scan please make sure to configure tia Scan within SAP as described here.

Dialogue to link a document class to an application

Please open now the transaction OAC2 in order to create the document type, to which the scanned documents will be allocated to.

Please note: It’s important to add a description, which will be shown in the selection window of SAP archive dialogs because no selection will be displayed unless a description has been defined.

After that go to the transaction OAC3 in order to link the previously defined document type to the desired SAP business object type as well as a content repository.

After performing these steps tia Scan is prepared for operation with the chosen content repository.

Hint: In order to utilize this scenario first open KGS Scan, select a corresponding profile and execute the OAWD-SAP-transaction.
