Generate Reports

You must generate the reports that you created in the current client or in a different client. Having defined the report, it only by generating it that a program capable of being run in the information system is created.

Those reports that you created in a different client must first be imported into your current client.

You have the following generation options:

From a list of all reports, you select those that you want to generate.
To generate all reports, you should create a background job for times of low system use.

Activities

1. Enter one or more report groups for generation.
2. Use selection criteria to further delimit the reports to be generated.
3. If you want to generate only a small number of reports, proceed as follows:
4. Choose Program -> Execute.
a) Select the report groups that the SAP System is to generate and choose Generate.
5. To generate all reports, create a background job by choosing Program -> Execute in background .

Further Notes

A report created with Report Painter is automatically generated when the report is started from report definition using Report -> Execute. In do doing, you assign a report to a report group.

You can also generate report groups by choosing Report Painter -> Report Writer -> Execute report group .
