SmartExporter will automatically switch to the SAP® standard components and allow a data extraction in online mode if SmartExporter discovers that the specific SmartExporter SAP® components are not implemented or SmartExporter has no access to these components.

Additionally, the use of SAP® standard components comes along with some limitations regarding the data to be extracted.
If you want to use the whole scope of functionalities SmartExporter offers and you are eager to avoid incorrect values in the data extracted or you do not accept the limited availability of data, it is highly recommended to use SmartExporter with the specific SmartExporter SAP® components.
