Define Report Selection
In this activity you define the report selection for Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.
Your report selection is made in the form of a
report tree. You can arrange the reports you wish to use in a report tree,
organized by content and position in a hierarchy. For example, you can combine
the reports for a specific application area.
Activities
You can create or change report trees. You can also copy report trees that already exist and create variants for the report trees which the individual user then assigns to himself.
Create and copy
1. Enter the
name of the report tree that you wish to create and select Create
tree.
Note: When creating a new report tree, we recommend that you use one of the standard report trees supplied by SAP as a template, either FIAP (for customers) or FIAR (for vendors). You can then adjust the copy of the standard report tree so that it meets your company-specific requirements. However, we do not recommend changing the supplied standard report tree itself.
To copy an existing report tree, choose Change tree -> Node -> Copy....
