SAP Query (BC-SRV-QUE)
The InfoSet Query, the SAP Query and the QuickViewer allow you to define reports without having to program them yourself.
InfoSet Query
The InfoSet Query is a useful tool for maintaining queries within the SAP Query that is suitable for developing queries and for ad-hoc reporting.
All query information, meaning the selection criteria and output, are available on a single screen. The clear and concise arrangement of screen areas means that even the novice user can soon generate queries with confidence. Graphical interface elements and drag&drop make the tool easy to use.
InfoSet Query is suitable
for reporting in all areas of the SAP R/3 system. A special feature is the Human Resources (HR) component. When InfoSet Query is used in HR for ad-hoc reporting, the name Ad-hoc Query is used instead of InfoSet Query. Due to the data model in HR, the InfoSet Query also contains the Object Selection function with which you should work in order to evaluate HR data.SAP Query and Quick Viewer
To define a report with the SAP query, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. You then assign a particular sequence by numbering the fields. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.
SAP Query is a comprehensive tool for defining reports in different forms such as basic lists, statistics, or ranked lists. In contrast, the QuickViewer is a simplified tool for generating basic lists. The QuickViewer is especially useful for beginning users and occasional use.
QuickView definitions are user-dependent. You can transfer a QuickView into SAP Query in order to make it accessible to other users, or to use the other output forms and functions available in SAP Query.
Reports created using the QuickViewer or SAP Query may also be used to pass data to external programs (Excel or MS Word, for example).
