Archiving of received digitally signed documents is sensible in order to ensure the authenticity and unified register of all documents. Outgoing SAP documents are printed with bar codes, which are uniquely determined by the types and numbers of the documents. The received digitally signed documents are batch scanned as incoming documents and archived in the IMiS/ARChive Server electronic archive.

For authenticity and recording purposes, certain outgoing documents, which were received from suppliers, customers and employees and which were created in the SAP system (delivery notes, receiving sheets, travel orders, etc.) and signed, should be archived in the IMiS/ARChive Server electronic archive.

Bar codes, uniquely defined by the types and numbers of documents, are printed onto outgoing SAP documents with the help of a built-in bar code generator. Returned and signed documents are batch scanned as incoming documents.
