Excel add-in, read-only in your own SAP session, live data in minutes. ECC & S/4HANA.
Document Flow Tracker condenses what process owners, analysts and auditors usually chase across multiple SAP screens into a single sheet: trace predecessor and successor documents across the sales/logistics chain using the SD document-flow table VBFA. Rather than working through transactions one object at a time, you get 25 pre-selected columns side by side — keys, descriptions and organizational context in one place, ready to filter, pivot and share.
The usual route to this data is ME23N or VA03 for the on-screen view, followed by SE16 downloads of VBFA, VBAK, LIKP stitched together in Excel. Each export is a snapshot: text fields arrive as codes, the joins are rebuilt by hand, and by the time the workbook reconciles, the numbers are already a day old. Multiply that by every month-end or every expediting run, and the report becomes a job of its own.
In PostNow the report ships ready to run. The 5 underlying tables (VBFA, VBAK, LIKP, VBRK, KNA1) are already joined on the correct key fields, code values are resolved into plain-language texts, and results land directly in Excel. Every run is read-only inside your own SAP session — the engine reads data, it never changes it. Refresh whenever you need a current version, tighten the filters, or use the report as a starting point and adjust columns in the visual builder. It behaves identically on SAP ECC and S/4HANA.
It joins 5 tables — VBFA, VBAK, LIKP, VBRK, KNA1 — on their standard key fields. Text and check tables are resolved automatically, so the output shows readable names and descriptions instead of raw codes, and the 25 delivered columns can be extended in the visual builder if you need more.
Transactions like ME23N and VA03 show the data on screen, but a clean Excel extract from them means manual exports and re-formatting every time. PostNow reads the same tables through standard interfaces — no ABAP, no transports. You pick the report in the Excel add-in, set filters such as company code and date range, and the joined result is written straight into your sheet. Every run is read-only and happens inside your own SAP session — nothing is ever written back.
Yes. Every report has selection filters with SAP value help, so you can narrow by company code, posting or document dates, plants, accounts and more before anything is fetched. A max-rows guard keeps first runs fast, and once the selection looks right you can widen it and refresh — the report remembers your filters.
This preview uses sample data. Run the real thing from Excel in minutes — read-only, in your own SAP session.
