Features
Executing Reports on the Basis of Extract Management Settings
If you saved selection criteria for the report, and the Extracts exist, the system calls up the current extract automatically. Otherwise, the selection screen for report callup appears (see Report Painter Reports).
Executing Reports with the Selection Screen
To execute the report from the selection screen (and independently of the extract management settings) position your cursor on the report node and choose Execute with selection screen or Nodes ® Execute with selection screen (see Report Painter Reports and Defining Extract Management Settings). The selection screen accepts any default settings saved for this report (see: Customizing for Cost Center Accounting under Information System ® User Settings ® Specify User Settings).
To save user-specific selection criteria for calling up reports, choose Information System ® User Settings ® Specify User Settings. You use the selection criteria to determine the default values for the selection screens when you call up reports. If you default all the selection criteria for the report, you can call up a report without going to the selection screen (see Customizing for Cost Center Accounting under Information System ® User Settings ® Specify User Settings).
For documentation on individual reports in the report tree, select the relevant end node and choose Goto ® Documentation. You can access documentation on the report in question. Choose Goto ® Documentation ® Report.
