Storing SAP Print Lists

A print list is a formatted text output of an application report or a SAP transaction. In addition to being displayed on the screen or printed, a print list can also be archived. Such a print list is stored to an archive in an electronic, unchangeable form. Graphical printouts are archived in a slightly different way than print lists – find more information about archiving outgoing documents.

Then you can simply search your archive for a required print list and retrieve it immediately. An archived print list can be printed, free-text searched, saved at your work station and analyzed in an external program.

A standard way the print list archiving is done must be simplified in order to be a real asset to your organization. When storing a higher number of print lists, it is unacceptable to manually select report's variant or adjust selection screen, enter correct print and archive parameters and finally start report for every single print list. Standard search tools also do not meet the requirements for comfortable work and navigation through a higher number of print lists.
