• Key Concepts: 
  Check-in is a feature of SAP Document Management Services (DMS) that allows users to store and manage documents in a secure, centralized repository. It enables users to check documents into the repository, assign them to specific categories, and control access to them. Documents can be checked in from any application, including Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and other third-party applications.
  
  How to use it: 
  To check-in a document, users must first create a document category in the DMS repository. This category will be used to store the document. Once the category is created, users can check-in the document by selecting the “Check-in” option from the DMS menu. The user will then be prompted to select the document category and enter a description of the document. Once the document is checked in, it can be accessed by other users who have been granted access to the document category.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When checking in documents, it is important to ensure that they are properly categorized and that access is restricted to only those who need it. This will help ensure that documents are secure and that only authorized users can access them. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which documents have been checked in and when they were checked in so that they can be easily located when needed.
