Reusability & Standardization: Converting an SQVI (Quick Viewer) query to an SQ01 (SAP Query) enhances reusability across users and roles. SQ01 queries can be assigned to user groups, ensuring consistent results and controlled access to sensitive data.
Transport to Other Systems: Unlike SQVI queries, which are local to the user and client-specific, SQ01 queries can be transported to different clients or systems, facilitating standardized reporting in production environments.
Scalability: SQ01 queries are better suited for long-term reporting needs, particularly for complex data retrieval spanning multiple modules.
Data Integrity: Auditors often require structured, consistent, and repeatable reports. SQ01 ensures that queries are centrally maintained and adhere to governance practices, reducing the risk of ad hoc or error-prone reports.
Controlled Access: SQ01 enables user group assignment, restricting who can execute or modify the query. This control is crucial for compliance with data protection and segregation of duties (SoD) requirements.
Audit Trail: Queries in SQ01 can be more effectively documented and monitored, ensuring transparency and traceability during audit processes.
Who Would Be Doing This?
SAP Consultants: Typically handle the conversion to align with system architecture, governance standards, and cross-client reporting needs. They also ensure queries are optimized for performance and compliance.
Auditors or Internal Audit Teams: May request or use converted queries for controlled reporting during audits. They rely on SQ01 to validate data accuracy and ensure reports are generated in a compliant manner.
System Administrators: Often responsible for setting up query groups and managing access control for SQ01 queries following the conversion process.
Here is a quick overview how this works: 1.Create aa SQVI query.
2. Go to transaction SQ01
Go to Environment -> Query Areas
Select Standard Area (client-specific)
Next, go to Query -> Convert Quickview…
Add the SQVI you have previously created.
Click on the check mark symbol.
Now, you need to name the query, and add itto some existing infoset, or use a new infoset
