• Key Concepts: 
  Data carrier type is a component of the SAP Document Management System (CA-DMS). It is used to define the type of document that is being stored in the system. This includes physical documents, such as paper documents, as well as digital documents, such as PDFs and other electronic files. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Data carrier type is used to categorize documents in the SAP Document Management System. When creating a new document, users must select a data carrier type from the list of available types. This will determine how the document is stored and accessed in the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When selecting a data carrier type, it is important to consider how the document will be used. For example, if the document will be printed or shared electronically, then a digital data carrier type should be selected. If the document will only be stored in the system, then a physical data carrier type should be chosen.
