Fields on ECC ABAP report triggering action

[Former Member]

I looked a little on the forums for this topic, but I'm not sure what area it really even fits in.  We have ECC and BI at my installation, and I mostly know the ECC side.  The BI/BW group has asked me if it's possible (and if so, what tools/processes I would use) to have an ECC ABAP report that triggers action (like sending an e-mail) only if report fields pass a certain threshold, or perhaps contain a certain value.

Can someone point me in the right direction if this is possible in ECC/ABAP and what resources / links to investigate further.  Obviously, if you have an example ABAP program, that would help me a lot too.  I'm just trying to figure out how easy/possible.  I've written lots of ABAP, but I don't have experience with this idea of triggering e-mails or taking action only based on certain values.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Thank you for the replies, and confirming my thoughts regarding this.  I'm going to close this, since our BI/BW team decided to put the whole thing on the back-burner for awhile.

Hi Jeremy,

Design a normal report program to trigger the mail based on the value or threshold.

Schedule this program as a batch program with very less time interval.

I hope it will help you to solve your problem.

Thanks and Regards,

Why would BW team ask ECC Abap team for this, they already have the Reporting Agent with its  Exceptions Management ?

We have some business clients in the organization that would like to have an e-mail or some kind of notification pertaining to the following:

(1)  "For example, if an account orders more than $50,000 in product a report is sent to us with what they purchased, maybe the same thing at the SKU level, if we sell 2000 of a product a report could be sent out. This could even be done at the weekly level, if an account does more weekly sales than any account has ever done "  ... (2) "Events would be even more awesome with real time data. A report could be sent out if a huge order was just placed, or we topped our daily/weekly sales record. Some sort of notification in the moment that could be analyzed ..."

So, the idea/request seems 2-fold: (1) trigger an e-mail/notification based on some near-time analytic/historical values and (2) do something similar based on real-time info (at order-create, for instance).  I think BI/BW has a handle on the 1st scenario, and is asking me about the 2nd in ECC, b/c it is real-time.
