In this work step, you can define the layout parameters for the layout of your reports.
SAP has default layouts, "SAP" and "LIS". If you want to define the layout individually, all fields are first filled with the layout parameters from the default layout you have selected. These parameters are proposed values you can overwrite depending on your requirements.
The layout parameters are divided into language-specific and language- independent parameters.
The following input templates are available for the layout definition:
The SAP default layout "SAP" is delivered with the Report Writer.
The standard SAP R/3 System for the Logistics Information System additionally contains the default layout "LIS".
The default layout is a Report Writer object. Report Writer objects are transported by using a special Customizing function provided especially for it in the productive system. Refer to Description in the Implementation Guide "Special Ledger".
Additional functions
With Utilities -> Layout directory, you branch to the directory which contains the standard layouts for the Report Writer.
Via the Report Writer menu option, you can branch into all of the Report Writer functions.
