Creating or Copying a Report

  1. To create a report with Report Painter or Report Writer , go to the relevant CO application component and choose:

    2. Information system ® Tools ® Report Painter ® Report ® Create.

  2. You should observe Sap’s standard naming conventions when creating new objects (see: Standard Naming Procedure for Information System Objects). Use a non-numerical entry as the first character of the object name.
  3. To generate a report by changing a standard report, enter a standard report as a model.

Note

You can also produce a copy of the standard report with Report Painter as follows:

Choose Report ® Display/Change.

On the initial screen, choose Group ® Copy.

In the Copy dialog box, enter the library, the name of the standard report and the copy. You can assign the new report to the same library or a different library. The copy can then be modified to suit your requirements.

Then modify the copy to meet your requirements.

Creating Report Groups

Assign your report to a report group and generate the report group (see: Report Groups). Only then can you execute the report.

Note

If you attempt to start a report without having generated a report group first, a dialog box appears to ask whether you would like to insert the report in a report group. The given report group is created as new, if required, and then generated automatically.

Transporting Reports

  1. If you have implemented a SAP R/3 System with more than one client, you should transport the reports in all relevant clients. To do so, choose:

    2. Information system ® Tools ® Report Painter ® Utilities ® Transport ® Reports/Report Groups ® Copy from client

  2. Enter the new report groups that you wish to copy from a given client to your target client.
