Reporting
Overview
An ABAP Report (Report report) is an ABAP / 4 ® Program Type "Executable program". A report must be called before deliver the desired result can be. In the SAP system, many reports automatically. Some of the reports you need to call themselves. With you to call in the Dialogue report we look at this chapter closer.
The initial screen of a called dialog report's selection screen. After entering the selection criteria and start further processing data can be read from the database and displayed in a list.
In SAP terminology refers Report (Report), the program and sist (Report list) so it prints a report. Furthermore uses the term "list" in the context of search results.
Lists can be (directly) from non-aggregated information, or (indirectly) medium density information is generated. In addition to the report, trees the applications are described to within the R / 3 the information in the application are available:) FIS (Finance, LIS (Logistics)) HIS (Human Resources) and EIS (Executive Information System. Outside the R / 3 can be described with the Business Information Warehouse R / 3 system with one's own database and own Tools are used to aggregate information, which also for the processing of data from non-SAP systems is designed.
SAP ® R / 3 Enterprise contains the standard reports delivered in the still reporting tools, which generate customized reports can be.
Too often required lists, it makes sense, the selection criteria as a variant (Report version, report variant) to save. The saved report options may, together with the report names in a so-called "job embedded" and run in the background processing. Finding a job plan can be, i.e. can be in him a date (or periodic Deposit dates) on which (which) he should be executed. That is particularly important for computationally Reports ("cross-country skiers.")
The data in a list can be graphically and (on the screen or other output device, for example are issued, a printer). They have the opportunity to list in an external file format on your computer store, for example for further processing with a spread sheet program. In addition, you can create a list in a folder of SAP office or store them in nodes of the SAP menu.
Previously treated with dialog transactions are (almost) all application data a single object (or subobject) of the ABAP Workbench maintainable (assuming you have) the appropriate permissions. A report, however, serves to display or output (in some cases to change) of selected data of many objects. The selection of these data made in the selection screen. The list will then be generated however, only the data displayed on with your user name (at least) display authorization is linked.
Screens, selection screens and lists are the three possible "types of screen" the R / 3.
ABAP/4-Programm Catalog and execution a report

In ABAP/4-Programmkatalog there are mainly cross-application possibilities of working with reports. On the application-specific options for running reports we are in the section "Information" a closer.
Report names
For all purposes, there are special reports, but for the Human Resources be delivered more than 1,000 reports in the standard. Since Release 4.6 report names can consist of up to 20 characters. For a part of the report name (not all) is the following naming convention:
• The report name is eight characters and consists of letters or numbers.
• The names of the reports delivered by SAP starting with "R".
• In addition, reports generated by the customer (customer reports should be consistent with "Y" or "Z start".
• The second to fourth letter are indicative of the application component and the (used in earlier releases) "work area". For example, is the second letter "F" for "finance" and "F" following letters "SK" stand "for" general ledger accounts.
• The letters are five to eight to better distinguish the reports used within the work area. |
