SAP S/4HANA for Group Reporting 2402 Release - GRDC: Automatic generation of the traceability log

Find out more

Reading time: 2 minutes

As a reminder, traceability logs allow you to trace generated quantities back to the source data, including the mapping rules they created. You'll see the rows from the upload files, corresponding rows from the mapping file, and the result row. When manually executing the mapping job, it was possible to select the "With traceability log" option.

GRDC also allows you to schedule mapping jobs to run automatically based on a set time and recurrence pattern.

With Release 2402 you have the ability to generate traceability logs for scheduled orders and push API. You can now activate the option in the job definition.

Then the user will not be able to start the mapping without this protocol. Automating log generation leads us to the next change. Previously you had to save the logs locally. If this didn't happen, the logs were gone.

When running a data mapping job with a traceability log, you can now use a remote folder location to save and read your traceability log file.

  • Remote folder locations are destinations configured in SAP BTP Cockpit and SAP Open Connectors.
  • You can use cloud storage services like Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc. to create your folders.

It is now possible to store a OneDrive or SharePoint where the protocols are stored centrally.

Now it can be ensured that EVERY change that goes into group reporting via GRDC mapping is also documented with the traceability protocol and these protocols are automatically stored for the auditor.
