Document Imaging Setup

Hi Jody,
 
We decided to use SAP Office Distribution lists (role 30000012).  We just copied
the default task TS30001117 and TS30001128 to new tasks, changed the default
roles for each and updated the binding so the workflow would route the work
items to a distribution list with the name identical to the archive document
type.
 
Distribution list maintenance is very simple (transaction so15).

I am beginning work on a project dealing with document imaging.  We will be
working on configuring ArchiveLink to take scanned invoices and route them to
processors for SAP entry.  I have help on ArchiveLink, but the workflow falls on
me.
 
My question to anyone familiar with this deals mainly with transaction OAWS
(Presettings to document types with end user's Inboxes).  Let's say we have 5
different document types we are dealing with.  We want the flexibility to route
a scanned document to a specified person (at scan time) in a group of multiple
processors.  When you set up OAWS, you can specify a userid, position, job, etc.
I have not worked with org structures (we use custom tables for our other
workflows), but I thought that maybe this would make sense to define a small
structure here for defining the processor group.  If I used position linked to a
document type, then you could send it to multiple people, but that is not what
they want.  I can specify userid instead, but doesn't that mean the maintenance
of persons involved is now in the customizing?  I need the flexibility of
choosing userids at scan time AND be able to allow the user group to maintain
the list of processors (when people join or leave the group).
 
I was hoping that someone on this list may have worked with such a project and
could explain my options on the setup of the people involved.  Do I need org
structure in place?  Do I set up the basic structure and can a user maintain the
assignments of person to position?  It defeats the purpose if I have to maintain
the structure in production.  This seems like it should be easy, but I'm having
trouble understanding the proper way to do this.
 
Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks...
