The Reporting Pack Challenge

One Recipient. Several Reports to Assemble.

The recipient needs a complete pack, not a series of disconnected exports. CRD makes report selection, preparation and delivery part of the reporting job.

The Set Must Be Complete

Missing one required report can make the whole pack unusable.

Order Changes the Result

Recipients need reports and merged pages in the intended sequence.

Each Pack May Be Different

Customer-specific parameters and delivery instructions can change from one pack to the next.

Why Choose CRD

SAP Publications or CRD Package Workflows

Choose CRD to define and maintain the report set, recipient instructions and preparation steps around the pack you need.

SAP Crystal Server

Multi-Report Publications

CS-licensed SAP Crystal Server Publications can deliver several documents, merge PDFs and create ZIP output.

Merged-PDF protection and page numbering are available in the publishing workflow.

CRD

The Pack and Its Surrounding Work

Report order: select the reports and sequence the recipient needs.

Per-report choices: maintain the required parameters and applicable output formats.

Assembly: choose attachments, a merged PDF, a combined workbook or ZIP output.

Recipient-specific packs: let database records supply the reporting and delivery instructions.

Exception handling: decide what should happen when a required report is blank or fails.

Standard, Dynamic and Data-Driven Packages are included in the CRD licence at no additional feature cost.

A Month-End Pack in the Right Order

For example, a finance team needs sales, margin and overdue-order reports as one management pack. CRD can run the reports and prepare the selected deliverable for the same reporting period.

Select

Include the required reports and their parameters.

Sequence

Define the order in which the outputs belong.

Assemble

Prepare one ordered PDF or the required set of attachments.

Deliver

Send the complete result and check the configured response to a missing component.

Several Attachments, One Email

Keep related reports together in a single message when readers need separate files.

One Ordered PDF

Combine the required report outputs into a PDF with the intended order, bookmarks and applicable protection.

One Combined Workbook

Use supported Excel output and merge settings to assemble report outputs into one workbook. Verify the actual sheets and order.

A Protected ZIP Archive

Collect the files into an encrypted, password-protected ZIP when the recipient needs an archive.

Yes. A package can prepare several report outputs for one email delivery. Check the chosen formats, parameters and final attachments during evaluation.

Yes, using applicable package and merge settings. PDF and Excel assembly have format-specific behavior, so inspect the finished file rather than assuming every export mode merges identically.

Its reports must share the required key parameter. A Dynamic Package repeats the pack for that parameter’s values; a Data-Driven Package uses record-controlled instructions.

Yes. Data-Driven Packages can use database records to supply report parameters, messages and destinations. This functionality is included in your CRD licence at no additional feature cost.

Grouping Data-Driven output by email address disables embedding. Use attachments or applicable merged files for that grouped pack.

Configure the applicable blank-report, retry, timeout and before/after task behavior for the workflow, including report-level and package-level steps. Test a missing or failed component and verify the resulting pack and operator response.

Configured merge tasks can combine existing files, and package output includes applicable text-merging options. Supply the intended file list and order for each pack, then test the selected formats and inputs.

CRD includes snapshot options for retaining report output. Configure the snapshot location and retention that the reporting process requires, then check that the saved pack matches the delivered result.
