Taking Validity Areas into Account when Generating Reports 
When selecting characteristic values, the validity area of both the substance and the generation variant in the corresponding countries and regions is expanded.
So that a characteristic value can be selected, all countries and regions of the generation variant must also be maintained for the substance. The number of the countries and regions specified for the generation variant must be the same or less than the amount specified for the substance.

If no region has been assigned to a country in a validity area, the R/3 System considers the validity area as if all validity areas were assigned.
If the validity area specified is REG_WORLD, the R/3 System automatically uses all countries entered in the IMG activity Define validity areas in Customizing for Product Safety.
