Early archiving is where a document image is already archived by the time its document is exported by Kofax AP Agility Invoice Processing. Because of this, Process Director requires the image details in order to create a link between the archived image and the work item in the Process Director workflow.

For the early archiving scenario using the standard function module, Process Director requires the archive image information for all documents it receives. The archive image information includes the following.

• The archive document ID

• The archive ID

• The SAP workflow document type

If any of these are absent, the document is not sent to Process Director and data export fails.

If you use early archiving, the archive document ID must be passed as part of the image filename. The component of the filename that represents the archive document ID must be mapped as the document URN in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Global Settings > Import Settings.

You have two options to determine the archive ID.

• To set the archive ID on a document-by-document basis, it must be included as a component of the image filename and mapped to the Destination Archive option in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Global Settings > Import Settings.

• To set the archive ID on a Capture Profile basis, specify a Destination Archive value in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > SAP Configuration.

The population of the interface for early archiving with the standard function module is as follows.

I_STR_HEADER

The text extensions populated are EC_ARC_ID, EC_DBC_ID, and E_ARC_OBJ.
