Adding ExtraInfo1 and ExtraInfo2 onto SPE reports

I can see that the existing BPN Reports has options for running reports to get the ExteraInfo1 and ExtraInfo2 reports but the SPE Reporting has not been given with this option.

We need this information as we are storing some of the important details of the files. For example, for few customer for outbound transactions we will save the IDOC numbers on to Externalinfo1, so having this report on SPE will be very useful in terms of production monitoring and support with respect to both IBM and customers.

I am attaching the current BPN reports which are being supported. So I request you to please enable this report on to SPE.

How will this idea be used?

This idea is very useful for the production monitoring to find out the very relevant data which comes in the Externainfo1 and Externalinfo2 fields.
