FOLDER STRUCTURE AND AUTHORIZATION MIRRORING FROM ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEMS TO DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

摘要

A system and accompanying method adapted to facilitate folder structure and authorization mirroring between a Document management System (DMS) and an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). An example method includes providing a first user option to view a representation of a database structure of a database application of an ERP system; displaying a second user option to select a portion of the representation of the database structure; and offering a third user option to create a folder structure for a Document Management System (DMS) based on the selected portion of the representation of the database structure. In a more specific embodiment, the method further includes providing a fourth user option to adjust permissions for users to access one or more folders of the folder structure based on permissions associated with a database object of the database structure. The fourth user option includes an option to synchronize one or more permissions and/or grants associated with the selected portion of the representation of the database structure with one or more ACLs associated with one or more folders of the folder structure.
