Symptom:

What do optical archiving and ArchiveLink have to do with each other?

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
SAP ArchiveLink is a component of R/3. It is a general interface within R/3 Basis. It supplies the business applications with various services in the form of function modules. Only a few function modules have to be activated, and the corresponding R/3 application becomes image-enabled. Advantage for the user: ArchiveLink now carries out all communication with the archive system. Time-consuming individual programming is no longer needed. With regard to functionality, various options are now available for using ArchiveLink to handle electronic documents:
the archiving and display of scanned NCI documents (NCI stands for noncoded information),
workflow management (Business workflow) which looks to the future and increases productivity, and
the archiving, the display and the retrieval of CI data (coded information) using the COLD concept (Computer Output on Laser Disk).
For more information on SAP ArchiveLink, please refer to the online documentation on ArchiveLink.
