Use

Report Categories for HR Master Data

The report categories for HR Master Data define which master data fields are displayed on the standard selection screens for standard evaluation reports. Report categories are already assigned to the standard reports.

In Customizing for Personnel Management, you can create report categories and assign a report category to an evaluation report.

Only change the report categories for the standard SAP reports, if the selection screen for the SAP standard system does not meet your requirements and you are aware of the effect this will have on the selection screen.

Report Categories for Payroll

The report categories for the evaluation of payroll results define which master data fields are displayed on the standard selection screens for evaluation reports.

If you want to create a new evaluation report to evaluate the payroll results using the logical database for payroll, use either report category PY_DEF , or create your own report category and assign it to the new report.
