The ALM Documentation Update & Creation Flow outlines a four-step process owned by the Process Owner, triggered by CR/SR/Defect changes. It involves monitoring changes, assessing impact to determine documentation needs, updating or creating docs in SharePoint, and validating/publishing them for accuracy.

The SAP Cloud ALM Documentation Flow outlines a structured workflow starting with the Process Owner identifying a change trigger (CR/SR/Defect), followed by the ALM Admin creating a new entry, the Solution Team documenting process steps, and the Doc Manager uploading to SharePoint with metadata. It concludes with the Process Owner handling reviews and version control, achieving full traceability for all roles with a loop back for monitoring changes.

The timeline outlines the Documentation Process in SAP Cloud ALM, starting with a Change Trigger (CR, SR, or Defect) that initiates documentation needs, followed by a decision on updates by the process owner. It then proceeds through SAP ALM registration of tasks, solution development with ongoing documentation, and final validation for deployment and traceability.

Documentation Process in SAP Cloud ALM

Step 1: Change Trigger Initiate process with CR, SR, or Defect triggering documentation needs. Step 2: Documentation Decision Process owner assesses and decides on required documentation updates or creation. Step 3: SAP ALM Registration Register documentation tasks formally in SAP Cloud ALM for tracking. Step 4: Solution Process Execute solution development while maintaining documentation throughout the process. Step 5: Documentation Ready Finalize and validate all documentation for deployment and traceability.

SharePoint's Document Storage offers a central library as a unified repository for SAP ALM documentation, with stream-based folder structures for easy navigation and automatic versioning to track changes. It includes rich metadata tagging, strict permission controls, and advanced full-text search to enhance security, compliance, and findability.
