Automate SAP Report Delivery by Mail addresses a problem most SAP landscapes know too well: Manual exports and forgotten file drops do not scale with transaction volume.
The MF module automates report delivery by e-mail (HTML, Excel, PDF) and file transfer (FTP/SFTP, CSV, JSON) with templates, mail groups, dispatch variants, and failed-item history.
File jobs watch directories, rename after pickup, and alert on failure — the silent automation layer next to real-time APIs.
Capabilities you use in iDataEngine
- Mail templates: body types and data sources
- Directory watch and scheduled pickup
- Event-triggered mail actions
- FTP/SFTP with key auth
- HTML, Excel, PDF attachments
- Mail groups and dispatch variants
Recommended workflow
- Extend the same definition to the next channel (API, SQL, MF, BI) without redesigning from scratch.
- Configure source objects, fields, mappings, or rules using session language and customer/system context.
- Open the relevant cockpit (iDataView Explorer, SQL Project, API Service Detail, or AccessGuard).
- Enable monitoring alerts and review dashboard KPIs for the first production cycle.
Real-world scenario (2020)
Sales managers receive personalized HTML dashboards at 06:00 with Excel attachments — recipient lists resolved from SAP hierarchy, not a static distribution list.
Why it matters
Morning reports that arrive automatically beat dashboards nobody opens at 07:00. MF removes manual export rituals that steal an hour from every team lead, every day.
Measured on lead time, defect rate, and audit readiness, the platform pays back in the first production quarter.
