Function documentationImport of Single Reports

 

This function complements the report import function that is available for importing mass data. You can use the single report import function for sporadic imports of reports in PDF format.

Prerequisites

  • You have the required authorizations.

  • You have processed the Customizing activity Report Import: Check Additional Settings in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools.

  • The report is released, that is, the assigned generation variant has the initial status Released.

  • You have specified in the Customizing activity Specify Report Categories that single reports can be imported for the report category assigned to the generation variant.

  • The report is assigned uniquely to one material and one specification.

Features

You can display the report before importing it.

You enter the key information for the assignment of the import file directly in the dialog.

You execute the report import immediately without a pre-import.

Activities

  1. To import reports, in the Product Safety menu or the Hazardous Substance Management menu, choose Start of the navigation path Reports Next navigation step Import Single Report End of the navigation path.

  2. Enter the required data.

    Note Note

    The input values for the input help of the Note/Vendor field can orginate from report management. The values are entered there in the report header data in the Note field. Alternatively, you can enter your own values in the Note/Vendor field.

    End of the note.

    Note Note

    Use a separate generation variant for the single report import. Do not use a generation variant that you use to create reports. Since the values in the Note/Vendor field can be overwritten, the system cannot determine whether the report originates from the import or report generation. This means the report cannot be assigned the correct version.

    End of the note.
  3. Choose Upload File (Upload File).

    The report is created in the SAP system.
