Creating Ad-hoc Reports in SAP

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Looking for a tool in SAP for creating Ad-hoc Reports by users (i.e., ability to create instant reports without any programming). Please advise a tool which is not considered obsolete and is a part of SAP's future strategy. Many thanks!

Best Regards,

Hi

You can use the SAP query and

Report painter/Report Writer

for designing the reports without programming.

see the links

report painter/writer

Report Writer functions can be accessed from within the Report Painter.

The difference lies in the GUI of the report painter.

For Report Painter

Step-by-step guide for creating ABAP query

http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ab4query.pdf

ABAP query is mostly used by functional consultants.

SAP Query

Purpose

The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.

Features

SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.

All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.

To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.

ABAP Query, as far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.

To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly

use either SQ02 ans SQ01

or SQVI tr code
