3 1.0 Objective As a strategy towards reducing its carbon footprint, the United Nations has a target to become paperless wherever feasible. Umoja supports this by facilitating the attachment of scanned documents into relevant transactions within the system, thus reducing the need for multiple copies and allowing access to the scanned documents by authorized parties from any UN location. Scanned documents attached to Umoja Transactions will be considered to be original documents from a trusted source, provided these guidelines are followed: If received via , the original document is considered to be the combination of the message as well as the attached document. Both should be attached into the corresponding transaction in Umoja. If received via postal mail or hand delivery, the original document is considered to be the document itself. The scanned version of that document attached to the corresponding Umoja transaction will also be considered an original document from a trusted source. This document aims to provide basic guidelines on how to attach document in Umoja transactions. The solution adopted by Umoja is Records Management which is an integration solution that allows the creation of record associated to specific SAP transactions. 2.0 Support Important: If the issue is encountered in Production, please contact your Local Process Expert and/or your Local Service Desk immediately. They will escalate the incident and monitor it through its resolution. Please provide the following information: SAP Transaction identification and document number associated to transaction Description of the issue you are facing; print screens are extremely useful to expedite resolution.

4 Should you require assistance during testing, please contact your designated Umoja Testing Functional Coordinator. 3.0 Umoja Business Scenarios with Active Attachment Functionality In order to address specific business requirements, Umoja has been configured to allow the attachment of documents in the following sub-set of business scenarios: In SAP ECC o Financial documents with workflow o Financial documents without workflow o Funds pre-commitment o Funds Commitment o Budget Document o Real Estate o PO does not use record management In SAP SRM o Will allow for uploading of any relevant documents to Shopping Carts, Solicitations, Contracts and Purchase Orders The attachment of documents in Umoja has been configured to address different requirements, depending on the nature of each type of document. For example: once a financial transaction is approved and posted, it should not be possible to change it further. Such restriction also applies to the Original Documents attached to the transaction. On the other hand, Real Estate documents (architectural objects, portfolios, etc.) may change on a regular basis, and so, the system configuration allows for new documents after a Real Estate entry has been saved in the system. In addition, SAP provides different approaches for scanning documents, depending on whether the user is working in ECC or in SRM. The following sections explain the particularities of attachments in Umoja, by type of transaction. 3.1 Financial Documents with Workflow Before a financial document is posted in the system the corresponding Original Document should be attached to the corresponding SAP transaction. It will be possible to attach documents during the whole cycle of each workflow-supported document, as long as such document has not been approved and posted in the system. This means that while the document is in status park or save as complete the user will be able to continue uploading attachments to that particular transaction. Page 4 of 29

5 Important: The status of the attached Original Documents and the status of the corresponding transaction in SAP are not synchronized automatically, and thus users must be mindful of making attachments final by closing the scanned record. This means that transaction approvers must change the status of the attached document to Closed at the time the document posted. The final approver is responsible for validating the transaction supporting documentation before posting any financial entry in Umoja. This also entails closing the corresponding document management record so that the attached original documents cannot suffer any additional changes. In case that the approver determines that there is not sufficient information i.e. that attachments are missing or are incomplete, the workflow approver should reject the financial document and request that the creator include additional required attachments. Once the supporting Original Documents are validated and accepted by the final approver, the document management record attached to the transaction must closed and the financial document must be posted. 3.2 Financial Accounting Document without Workflow Certain documents in the Finance modules will not be processed through workflow. In such cases, the attachments will be uploaded in the Financial Accounting Document only after the document is saved. The creator of the document will be responsible for also closing the scanned record or Original Document associated to the financial documents, so that they cannot be further modified. The following table lists the Finance documents that can receive attachments in Umoja, together with the corresponding transaction and the types of Original Documents that should be attached: Application Attachment via transaction SAP Descriptions Alternative Transaction for attaching documents Original Documents to be attached Finance FV50 Park G/L Account Document FV53 / FB03 Calculation spreadsheet, memo & s Finance FV60 Park Vendor Invoice FV63 / FB03 Vendor Invoice Finance FV65 Park Vendor Credit Memo FV63 / FB03 Vendor Credit Note Finance FV70 Park Customer Invoice FV73 / FB03 Calculation spreadsheet, memo & s Finance FV75 Park Customer Credit Memo FV73 / FB03 Calculation spreadsheet, memo & s Page 5 of 29

These types of documents are constantly uploaded and do not required approval. Application Attachment via transaction SAP Descriptions Real Estate REBDAO Process Architectural Object RE80 Real Estate REBDBE Process Business Entity RE80 Real Estate REBDPR Process Land RE80 Real Estate REBDBU Process Building RE80 Real Estate REBDRO Process Rental Object RE80 Real Estate RECN Process Contract RE80 Alternative Transaction for attaching documents Documents to be attached Portofolio Documents, Internal Documents Portofolio Documents, Internal Documents Portofolio Documents, Internal Documents Portofolio Documents, Internal Documents Portofolio Documents, Internal Documents Contracts, Internal Documents 4.0 Record Models and Attachments In order to help users organize and retrieve attachments in Umoja, a Record Model has been configured for each transaction that requires attachments. The Record Model also specifies the folder structure as well as the attached document attributes (information about the document) that are required to correctly classify each attachment, for easy identification and retrieval. Page 6 of 29

7 When a transaction is entered in Umoja, if it has been configured to receive attachments, a record model will be automatically created and will be linked to that particular transaction. The example below illustrates a record model for a financial document, with its corresponding folder structure and record attributes: Financial Document Record Attributes Record structure contains folders where documents are attached 4.1 Standards to be followed a. Supporting documents should be uploaded in PDF Format. As such, PDF versions of word, excel and other types of document should be uploaded. Page 7 of 29

8 b. Although excel and word documents can be uploaded in SAP, these document are accessible and can be modified during the process before the record is closed. c. Users will not be entitled to delete any documents in the system. The system will prevent users from performing this activity. In case of error while uploading incorrect documents, a new document will be uploaded only if document was saved. The documents will be attached in a specific node of the record model. d. The document will be saved with the proper attributes : Unique Id Document / Year Short Description Document / Year Fund Applicable to FI documents Business Area Applicable to FI documents Document Type Applicable to FI documents Business Partner Applicable for FI/RE documents Person Responsible Applicable for Real Estate(RE) documents Authorization Group Applicable for Real Estate(RE) documents e. In cases where document are linked to Workflow, final approvers are responsible to lock records to prevent further modifications. This activity will ensure that other users are not allowed to attach or modify documents, after the approval process is completed. f. Accuracy and consistency in folder and document names is crucial to be able to easily retrieve documents later. g. The naming conventions are designed to be as intuitive as possible. Whether created originally in electronic or paper form, these documents all need to be named appropriately and filed in the correct electronic folders. In order to facilitate the search of document in SAP, the following naming convention must be followed: Naming convention for finance documents: Unique Id Year-Doc Number-Sequential Dcmt.No. Short Description Year-Doc Number-Sequential Dcmt.No. Naming convention for Real Estate Contract Documents Unique Id Contract Number Short Description Contract Number Page 8 of 29
