It needs to run, extract, format and populate the data for for the user specified time period for all the 14 Boston scientific accounts. The QC mechanism is also incorporated successfully. If this is implemented successfully then the Turn Around Time for the stakeholder can be achieved without any issues on quality
The Tool has been created and it performs good. The user needs to open the template in BEx explorer and enter the time period in the desired cell and click "Start".
