  Key Concepts: 
  Maximum chain is a feature of the SCM-BAS-DF Cross-System and Cross-Partner Document Flow component of SAP. It allows for the creation of a chain of documents that are linked together, with each document in the chain having a maximum number of documents that can be linked to it. This feature helps to ensure that documents are not lost or forgotten in the document flow process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the maximum chain feature, you must first create a document chain. This can be done by selecting the “Create Document Chain” option from the SCM-BAS-DF Cross-System and Cross-Partner Document Flow menu. Once the document chain is created, you can then add documents to it by selecting the “Add Document” option from the same menu. When adding documents, you will be asked to specify a maximum number of documents that can be linked to each document in the chain. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a document chain, it is important to consider how many documents you will need to link together. If you have too many documents in your chain, it may become difficult to manage and keep track of them all. Additionally, if you have too few documents in your chain, you may not be able to take full advantage of the maximum chain feature.
