Routing, Printing and Delivering Documents from your SAP System using the BC-XOM Connector
SAP Modules and Applications deliver many documents in various formats to users to support ongoing business needs. These delivery processes are critical for operations and require appropriate Information Technology resources in order to be handled securely and efficiently. Enterprises face ongoing changes to their business requirements and processes so it is advantageous if their document delivery systems are flexible and adaptive.
The SAP R/3 printing guide acknowledges the above and recommends implementing an External Output Management System, based on the SAP recommended BC-XOM protocol, for optimal Enterprise document delivery support.
