Documentation
Definition
The Office Integration is offered as an alternative to the list output. It enables the interactive output of a report in an Office document. The Office application (Microsoft excel or Lotus 123) runs as a Control in the SAP window. Apart from a few exceptions, all SAP functions are also available in the worksheet of the Office application.
In the report output you can switch between the list output and Office Integration at any time via Function -> Settings -> Options. If the Office application defined in the settings is not installed on your local PC, the output is made in the usual list format.
If you send the report when Office Integration is activated, the Office document currently displayed is also sent as an attachment.
For the presentation of a Report Writer report in Office Integration, note the following:
- Local outline functions
Office Integration supports the local outline functions in the Office application. This means you can change the row and column breakdown locally without having to communicate with the SAP system. This outline function also remains if you send the Office document as a message. - Headers in the worksheet
The headers for the worksheet are taken from the text for the export. The headers and footers defined in the report are generally adjusted to suit the list output and are therefore not used for the worksheet. The title and last pages are also not taken into account. - Presentation of the sections
Each section that has an explicit page break (default in Report Painter) is output in a separate worksheet in the Office document. Sections that follow on without an explicit page break are output together in one worksheet. The title of the first section is taken as the name of the worksheet. The title might be changed slightly top meet the name conventions of the respective Office application (invalid characters such as '*', ':', '/', '\' and '?', limited length, uniqueness of name).
The Office Integration makes high demands of the hardware of the frontend in comparison to the usual list output.
