Displaying Reports

For specifications and recipes, you can use the PLM Web UI to display released reports that you create, manage and release in Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S). You can find the relevant EH&S transactions in the SAP Easy Access menu under  Environment, Health and Safety Basic Data and Tools Report Definition .

To display a selected report in the PLM Web UI, you first need to maintain the object keys, that is, the parameter values assigned to the report. You can then open the report in Microsoft Word, or save it to a selected location.

Reports are listed according to the generation variants used to create them, however, only released reports are included. For more information, see Generation Variant Editing.

Creating New Reports

To create new reports for recipes and display them in the PLM Web UI, first you need to request report creation in EH&S. After verification, an entitled EH&S user can release the newly created reports.

You can also create ad-hoc reports for specifications and recipes, for information purposes. These reports are not designed for official processes, that is, they cannot be verified and released. Ad-hoc reports are based on templates (generation variants), and are generated regardless of the mode you are working in (such as edit, create, or display).

To create an ad-hoc report, choose Ad-Hoc Report from the Additional Functions menu. The system then displays the ad-hoc report in Microsoft Word, according to the generation variant you have selected.
