Reports in SD
Definition
A report is an executable program which reads data from the database, evaluates it and then issues the results.
A report does not make any changes to the database.
Use
You can carry out the following functions with a report:
This function enables you to call up lists to meet certain criteria such as all the orders for a particular customer within a certain time period, or to determine which orders still need to be processed, or which billing documents are blocked for Financial Accounting.
Work lists are lists of documents that still need to be processed, such as deliveries that haven’t been billed. From this list, you can start the subsequent functions for some or all the documents at once.
Most of the lists are managed with a special tool, the ABAP List Viewer. This tool allows you to total or sort columns. You can also decide the sequence in which the columns are displayed. For more information, see
ABAP List Viewer.
