Web Reporting is a WebRFC application that enables Internet users to get immediate access to business information in the R/3 System.

By placing URLs in Web pages, you can:

• Offer reports to be started dynamically
• Make pre-generated lists that are stored in report trees available for display
• Allow users to browse report trees

Web Reporting also supports interactive reporting. You can:

• Process standard interactive events initiated by the user to get more detailed information on subsequent screens
• Set links to other Web pages or function modules

When a user clicks on a URL, the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server passes the request to the SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS), which communicates with the R/3 System by Remote Function Call (RFC).

On the R/3 side, the function module WWW_DISPATCH_REQUEST receives the request and calls the function module specified in the URL. The following graphic illustrates the process:
