SAP Note 1686797 - ALV Excel: Signed SAP standard templates

Component : SAP List Viewer - SAP Desktop Office Integration

Summary :
When using the 'Excel Inplace' functionality for ALV Grids, users may encounter only blank worksheets displayed. This issue is related to the expiration of the signature on SAP templates such as SAP_SM.XLS, SAP_SM.XLSM, and similar files. To rectify this, the templates need to be updated through a Support Package, ensuring their validity for the specified period. Before implementation, it is critical to delete old templates with expired signatures using the report BCALV_BDS_MAINTENANCE. This will prevent conflicts and ensure that the grids are displayed correctly in Excel format.
