Abstract: In general, the present invention provides a computer-implemented method, system, tool, and program product for storing a document in an enterprise software environment, such as SAP. Specifically, under the present invention, a hierarchical structure is provided for linking a business document. The hierarchical structure includes a plurality of levels that each represent a business entity level such as enterprise, company, customer, contract and revision. Additionally, standardized attributes may be chosen for association with the business document. The invention also provides a search engine for searching for a document that has previously been linked to the hierarchical structure. These searches may be performed using such factors as the level in the hierarchy and/or the specified attributes.
