Use

In this part of the report definition, you can decide how the report is to be displayed. The output type that you choose for the purpose of report definition is only a default setting here. When you execute the report, the output type chosen by you is already selected. However, you can deviate from this default setting and choose a different output type for the report. The following section is intended as a quick guide, to help you choose the output type most suited to your requirements:

You use the graphical report output if you want the report data to be displayed attractively on the screen or if you require several views of the report data simultaneously (drilldown list and detail list, for example).

You use classic drilldown reports if you require a high level of performance (for reports which analyze a large volume of data, for example) or if you want the report data to be printed.

You use object lists if you want to display the corresponding characteristic values for every report line. Object lists present the only possibility of displaying several characteristics simultaneously in the lead column, with the value combinations of the report characteristics multiplied together. For this reason, object lists are often considerably larger than classic or graphical reports using the same quantity of data.

You transfer the report to XXL (Extended Export of Lists) if you wish to process the report data using a spreadsheet program, or if you wish to access the data when you have no access to the R/3 system.

Integration

The output type setting determines which type of display will be the default when the report is executed.

Prerequisites

To use the graphical report output type, you should normally have defined a suitable HTML template and saved this in the SAP system using the Business Document Navigator. To access the Business Document Navigator, choose Environment ® HTML Templates. For more information about the Business Document Navigator, see Help for the SAP ArchiveLink. Alternatively, you can use the SAP standard template. You can also change this template, if required.

Features

For the graphical report output, you can set the required output areas and decide which HTML template is to be used for the report header (info area). Here, for example, you can integrate your company logo into the report. The header and footer lines also appear here if they have been defined and the HTML template has been prepared accordingly. The graphic below shows an example of graphical report output from Profitability Analysis (CO-PA):

For classic drilldown reports, you can decide which list type is to be used as the basic lists, whether headers and footers should be printed, and what these should contain.

If required, you can enable viewing of object lists with the ABAP List Viewer. This makes it possible for you to generate reports containing several characteristic values in the lead column. You can also make use of the other functions in the ABAP List Viewer, such as flexible filter and sort options, definition of display variants and so on. For further information, see the documentation for the Enlace de estructura ABAP List Viewer.

Finally, using the list export tool XXL, you can specify that the report is transferred directly to a spreadsheet program, without the report list being set up by R/3.
