Seamless data retrieval
SNP Datafridge simplifies access to historical data by integrating directly with your active SAP system. With the transaction code /SNP/DATAFRIDGE, you can retrieve information stored in legacy SAP systems without switching between different platforms. Whether your legacy data is stored in SAP ECC or even older R/3 systems, SNP Datafridge acts as a bridge, enabling you to perform familiar reporting and retrieval tasks within your S/4HANA environment.
For example, you can easily view FI (Financial Accounting) documents, such as general ledger line items, using reports like FBL3N. Standard SAP modules allow you to retrieve the data you need with minimal effort. Even custom fields and attachments that were part of the original transaction can be displayed without impacting the performance of the live system. This is crucial for companies aiming to meet auditing requirements or generate reports based on historical data without risking the performance of their current landscape.
