Changing and Creating Sender/Receiver Assignments

Use

To be able to use report-report interfaces in executed queries, you must define a sender/receiver assignment.

You use the sender/receiver assignment to make the settings required to connect a query in SAP BEx to the report-report interface (RRI). You can assign receiver reports to a sender report - a BEx query - in either the BW system or in another SAP system.

Procedure

Select one of the two tab pages and enter the required data.
