How to: Set up an internal document

Use this task when you want to define a document to describe BC data to be mapped on an external document.

To set up an internal document:

1. Go to the documents list page. Depending on the solution:
   • For Connectivity Studio: go to Departments > Business Integration Solutions > Connectivity Studio > Design > Documents.
   • For Notification Management: go to Departments > Business Integration Solutions > Notification Management > Design > Documents.
   • For Replication Management: go to Departments > Business Integration Solutions > Replication Management > Publications > Design > Documents for publications, or Subscriptions > Design > Documents for subscriptions.
   • For EDI Studio: go to Departments > Business Integration Solutions > EDI Studio > Design > Documents.
2. Select New.
3. Select type as Internal and provide a document number and description.
4. Select the Design button to open the setup page.
5. Use the Add Table and Add Fields actions to add tables and fields and define an internal document structure. You can also configure table and field properties.

A new internal document structure is created and added to the document list page.

From this list page, you can view more details about a document using its design page. An internal document line links either to a table or to a field within a table.
