Dear all,

Let me know about SAP ID : 103124(Clean Up Reporting Tasks).

①

I think SAP ID : 103124 indicate cleaning up unwanted reporting tasks is the best method.

Why is it?

Let me know the demerit of  not cleaning up unwanted reporting tasks. What is the problem?

I need to explain to customer. So, I want to know more specific.

I have already read SAP Help, it isn't indicated that.

②

Regarding to unwanted reporting tasks, is Cleaning up general case?

I would like to know about case studies.

Best Regards,

Yuki Tsumura

In some cases, you may want to delete reporting tasks such as when inconsistent tasks get generated, or when you want to change the reporting entity settings for reporting tasks that already have runs generated. For example, when assigning periodicity of report category, you may have set the wrong values for Offset or Fiscal Year fields. This may cause inconsistent reporting tasks and runs if generated.

This would not affect the performance or the correctness of the report . This could lead to following demerits,

• Multiple reporting tasks between the same period. For example: You have initially set the fiscal year variant for month wise (For the periodicity, 2022 to 2024) and later changed the fiscal year variant to year or quarter wise (For the periodicity, 2023 to 2024) having this variation leads to generation of inconsistent reporting tasks in run statutory reports app. In this example if clean up is not done for the overlapping period, monthly reporting tasks are generated for the period from 2022 to 2024 and quarterly or yearly reports are generated from 2023 to 2024.

• This behavior is not going to affect report generation process but could lead to confusion for the user to choose the correct report tasks applicable.

Please refer to the KBA 3542579 - Cleanup of Reporting Tasks for Statutory reporting if you need assistance to cleanup reporting tasks.

Thanks and regards,
