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.

File jobs watch directories, rename after pickup, and alert on failure — the silent automation layer next to real-time APIs.

Mail templates bind data sources to recipients — including customer and vendor resolution — so operational reports reach the right inbox without manual export every morning.

Capabilities you use in iDataEngine

  • Directory watch and scheduled pickup
  • FTP/SFTP with key auth
  • Failed mail history and resend
  • SMTP corporate configuration
  • CSV/JSON export jobs
  • Mail groups and dispatch variants

Recommended workflow

  1. Open the relevant cockpit (iDataView Explorer, SQL Project, API Service Detail, or AccessGuard).
  2. Save and capture the generated URL, job ID, or snapshot reference in your change record.
  3. Extend the same definition to the next channel (API, SQL, MF, BI) without redesigning from scratch.
  4. Configure source objects, fields, mappings, or rules using session language and customer/system context.

Real-world scenario (2023)

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

Mail and API together cover both human notification and machine integration — one platform, two speeds.

Measured on lead time, defect rate, and audit readiness, the platform pays back in the first production quarter.
