Results​

The report result shows information about the results of the activity checks for the work time, the volume of work, and the cross-component usage in the respective tabs.

  • Work time

    The status of a data source is highlighted if the activity check detects users who did not have a break of at least eight hours during two consecutive days in accessing, producing, or changing entries in the selected database tables.

  • Volume of work

    The status of a data source is highlighted if the activity check detects users who exceeded a threshold for creating or changing database table entries in the selected tables. SAP uses certain statistical parameters to decide if the number exceeds the threshold.

  • Cross-component usage

    The status of a data source is highlighted if the activity check detects users who created or changed entries in the database tables of different SAP modules in the same second.
