  Final Report (Ready-to-Ship Report, SBE)

Definition

A report that is generated from a report (SBR) directly for shipping.

The system uses the following criteria to select the appropriate report:

  • The object for whose report application the report was created

    If the report was created for the report application Specification master (object Specification ), for example, the selection is made according to the specification.

    The following report applications and objects exist in the standard system:

    Report Application

    Object

    Specification master

    Specification ( substance , agent )

    Material master

    Material

    Work area

    Work area

    Person affected

    Accident event (comprises the key for the incident/accident log entry and the address number of the person involved)

  • The generation variant

    The generation variant is assigned to the report template. The SAP system automatically determines all report applications for which symbols were created on the report template and assigns these report applications to the generation variant. In Customizing for Basic Data and Tools under Specify Report Symbol Groups function modules are defined for each symbol group, which then determine default values that can be overwritten for the parameter symbols of the report template when the final report is generated (see Default Parameters for Reports ).

  • The language in which all phrases are already expanded in the report

  • The key date if you are using engineering change management

The SAP system expands all other data when it generates the final report. This data does not originate from the SAP components specification management or phrase management but from other SAP components, and completes the report. Data from other components could, for example, be:

  • Material data

  • Customer data

  • Data for the work area

  • Data for the person affected

  • Data for the injury/illness log

Reports with Reference to a Specification

You can provisionally simulate final reports with specification references and check their layout (see Testing Layouts ).

The SAP system also generates final reports:

  • From report management for display

  • From the report information system for display

  • For shipping

Reports Without Reference to a Specification

The SAP system generates final reports:

  • From the report information system for display

  • For shipping
