Importing Standard Reports
Use
To call up a report tree containing all the reports for a given component, choose
Information system
in the relevant Controlling component.
Example
In the Cost Center Accounting menu, choose
Information system
Reports for cost center accounting
to call up the Standard Report Tree for Cost Center Accounting. You can use these reports without making any adjustments.
For the various Controlling master data, SAP provides a variety of reports, which can display report data in the actual, plan, or target for different time periods. The standard report tree gives you an overview of all standard reports delivered by SAP. For information about the most commonly used reports, see Important Standard Reports .
Standard reports are delivered with client 000. They must be transported to your target client before you can use them.
Activities
To import standard reports, call up the Implementation Guide (IMG) for the relevant CO component and choose
Information System
Standard Report
Import Standard Reports
.
The following importing options exist:
Import some reports
The system displays a list of all report groups. Select the report groups necessary for your reporting needs.
Import all reports
If you want to import all reports, you should create a background job at a time of low system usage.
In the
Processing mode
dialog box, you specify whether you want to import the reports online or in the background.
Caution
It is best not to change the standard reports at the target client level after transport. Instead, you can use these reports as models for customized reports or save a copy of these reports under another name.
Any changes made to the standard reports are overwritten the next time the report is transported to your client.
In the event of a new release or upgrade, you must repeat the transport of standard reports from client 000.
