SAP Scripting

cheesiechanman
Hey I need some non PC-DMIS Scripting help....

Do any of you guys have any experience with scripting in SAP?

What I'm trying to do is write a script that runs a report for me. I have it reporting the data and saving it but I cant figure out how to set the dates to the previous week. currently it is just running the report for the days I selected. I can post the code if that helps.

    that is not only insane, it is STUPIDLY insane. Yeah, take away your tool box, then expect you to do your job efficiently.

    That's what I'm saying. They didn't even notify me when it happened. I just found out once I was going to test my code. However... If they wont let me do it ill tell them to write me the code. I have already proven it to work. It normally takes about 3-4 hours a week to run these reports and format them in excel. I wrote a script to do it in 48 seconds. That includes saving the files under a new name and sending the data out in an email.

    That is a 99.64% time savings for the year. It wont be very hard to argue my side. 181 hours and 29 mins saved annually. or 22.6 work days. or 4.5 work weeks. I believe I will win this battle haha.

    nice lean savings! i worked for a place (Corning) that would give you 1% of any hard cost savings that could save over $1,000/yr.
    Some dude suggested a on-site gold reclamation plant, instead of using a third party, which they knew were skimming the returns. They determined it saved the company >3 million a year, so he got a $30k award for the idea. It had to be hard cost savings.

    Labor/burden rates are soft-cost, until you can lose a headcount as a result of the savings (byebye coworker though).

    The military did something very similar to that for the longest time. I believe it was 1% or something like that. Up until a guy suggested that the pilots should stop doing touch and go's when training in air craft. (basically just touch the runway and take off again) Since this would rapidly deteriorate the tires on the aircraft. This saved a stupidly ridiculous amount of money.

    Conveniently after that they put in a $15,000 cap for payouts.
