How to Grab OpenText Vim DP document from Non AP users without admin role

[Former Member]

OpenText Vim DP solution is used for AP Exception posting and there are cases where AP needs to grab the document from NON AP users. Using standard method they can do it via SWIA Tcode but unfortunately this tcode is only given to Workflow Admin. In a day AP has around 100 cases they need to grab the document so it is impossible for workflow admin to do that. We built a solution where AP can grab themselves and also be able to edit it right away. Editing is an issue when you forward from SWIA as the DP document Role determines whether it can be edited or not. Using this Admin method they have saved at least 1 day backlog for each document hence helping the company to gain the Cash discount and also maintain a good reputation with Vendors.

Current Solution

•OpenText Vim
DP solution is used for AP posting and there are cases where AP needs to grab
the document from NON AP users. Using standard method they can do it via SWIA Tcode
but unfortunately this tcode is only given to Workflow Admin.

•In a day AP has around 100 cases they
need to grab the document so it is impossible for workflow admin to do that.

•There is a heavy dependency on Workflow
Admin for the on schedule payment for Invoices.

•Editing is an issue when you forward from
SWIA as the DP document Role determines whether it can be edited. AP has to
again refer to their role to have the document editable.

•IT should not be responsible for this
bottleneck.

document hence helping the company to gain the Cash discount and also maintain
