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   ).

  • 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.
