In SAP transaction OAG1 (ArchiveLink: Basic Settings), the specific option to enable the file description pop-up for manual document storage is “Save File Attributes” (technically referred to as the Reserve1 flag in the system).
Key Details of the Setting
Location: Transaction OAG1.
Checkbox: Look for the “Save File Attributes” option.
Functionality: Once enabled, when a user stores a document manually (e.g., using the Generic Object Services (GOS) “Store Business Document” function), a pop-up window appears.
Purpose: This pop-up allows the user to enter a custom File Description and other attributes like the creator name.
Effect: The description entered in this pop-up replaces the default document type name in the Title column of the GOS Attachment List, making it easier to identify specific files.
Limitations
This enhancement is typically only available for manual storing scenarios.
It does not automatically apply to documents stored via automated workflows, barcodes, or SAP-generated PDFs, as ArchiveLink is not designed to capture these manual attributes in those automated processes.
