Difference between Drill down Report and Interactive Report

What is the difference between Drill down Report and Interactive Report?

Hi,
    Drill down report and Interactive report seems to be acts as same. But there is a minor difference between those two.
Drill Down Report  - When you  click on a particular field in a report it drills down to the next report, it won't trigger another screen.
Interactive Report -  When you click on a particular field in a report it will trigger another report based on the field clicked. It opens another session internally in the same screen.

  • Difference between Drilldown report and Interactive report

    There is no difference between drill down and interactive report, they are the same.
    With drilldown reporting, SAP provides you with an interactive information system to let you evaluate the data collected in your application. This information system is capable of analyzing all the data according to any of the characteristics that describe the data. You can also use any key figures you wish to categorize your data. You can display a number of objects for a given key figure, or a number of key figures for a given object. In addition, the system lets you carry out any number of variance analyses (such as plan/actual comparisons, fiscal year comparisons, comparisons of different objects, and so on).
    You can produce both simple, data-directed lists (basic reports) and complex, formatted lists in drilldown reporting (form reports).
    Drilldown report provides you with comfortable functions for navigating through your data. For example, you can jump to the next level of detail or the next report object on the same level, hide individual levels and switch between the detail and drilldown lists. It also provides a number of additional functions which let you process lists interactively (sorting, conditions, ranking lists, and so on). SAP Graphics, SAPmail and the Excel List Viewer are also integrated into drilldown reporting.
    The drilldown functions are divided into three groups which differ in the number of functions available. That way each user can choose the functional level most suited for his requirements.
    In addition to the online functions for displaying reports, drilldown reporting also provides functions which let you print reports. A number of formatting functions are available to let you determine the look of your printed reports (page breaks, headers and footers, underscores, and so on).
    The menus and the functions available directly on the drilldown report make it easy to use the information system.
    What is an Interactive Report?
    An interactive report generally works in the following fashion:
    1. Basic list is displayed.
    2. User double clicks on any valid line
        or
        User selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar.
    3. The corresponding event is triggered
    4. Then in the code, the line on which action was done, is read.
    5. Depending on the values in that selected line, a secondary list is displayed.
    6. Steps from 2-5 are repeated till the end.
    From the above explanation, I believe, its clear that, the 20th list, will essentially depend on the "selected line" of 19th list. According to your question, you want to move to 20th list directly, without "a prior list". May I know the exact requirement so that, an appropriate solution can be suggested? 
    Again, your question was, how to move to 20th list directly on pressing of execute button. Its not possible to move to 20th list. You must cross over a basic list, before you can go to a different list level, using the code given by Pavan. 
    What are Drilldown reports?
    The lines of basic list of a drilldown report when clicked, will take the user to the corresponding (standard) object's display.
    For eg: Suppose your report's primary component is purchase requisition, (assume you are printing PR details), and the basic list displays details of many PRs.
    Eg: when clicked on a particular line of the PR basic list, it takes you to std t-code me53 (display of purchase requisition). This is the 'Drill-down' functionality.
    For this, in the at-line selection of your program, as per the above ex: you'll set the parameter ID of PR number BAN (that you can get from Data element) in memory (using set parameter id) and then calling the corresponding transaction (usually skipping initial screen of the std t-code).   
    Likewise, if it's Material Number (Matnr), you'll be displaying MM03 transaction w.r.t. the line's matnr.

  • Difference between class report and interactive report

    please give me the differences between  classical report and interactive report

    Hi,read the following :
    In ABAP, there are a total of 7 types of reports. They are:
    Classical Reports
    Interactive Reports
    Logical Database Reports
    ABAP query
    ALV Reports (ALV stands for ABAP List Viewer)
    Report Writer/Report Painter
    Views (There are different types of views also)
    Classical Reports
    These are the most simple reports. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.
    Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT
    Interactive Reports
    As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
    And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
    We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).
    Logical Database Reports
    Logical database is another tool for ABAP reports. Using LDB we can provide extra features for ABAP reports.
    While using LDB there is no need for us to declare Parameters.
    Selection-screen as they will be generated automatically.
    We have to use the statement NODES in ABAP report.
    ABAP Query Reports
    ABAP query is another tool for ABAP. It provides efficency for ABAP reports. These reports are very accurate.
    Transaction Code : SQ01
    Report Writer / Report painter
    Super users and end users can use Report Painter/Report Writer tools to write their own reports.
    Giving them the ability to report on additional fields at their discretion shifts the report maintenance burden to them, saving SAP support groups time and effort normally spent creating and maintaining the reports.
    ALV reports
    Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
    In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
    The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.

    *More on Classical Vs Interactive*
    Classical Reports
    These are the most simple reports. Programmers learn this one first. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.
    Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT.
    Events In Classical Reports.
    INTIALIZATION: This event triggers before selection screen display.
    AT-SELECTION-SCREEN: This event triggers after proccesing user input still selection screen is in active mode.
    START OF SELECTION: Start of selection screen triggers after proceesing selection screen.
    END-OF-SELECTION : It is for Logical Database Reporting.
    Interactive Reports
    As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
    And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
    We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).
    Events associated with Interactive Reports are:
    1. AT LINE-SELECTION
    2. AT USER-COMMAND
    3. AT PF<key>
    4. TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION.
    HIDE statement holds the data to be displayed in the secondary list.
    sy-lisel : contains data of the selected line.
    sy-lsind : contains the level of report (from 0 to 21)
    Interactive Report Events:
    AT LINE-SELECTION : This Event triggers when we double click a line on the list, when the event is triggered a new sublist is going to be generated. Under this event what ever the statements that are been return will be displayed on newly generated sublist.
    AT PFn: For predefined function keys...
    AT USER-COMMAND : It provides user functions keys.
    TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION :top of page event for secondary list.

  • Purchase price difference between SAP R/3 and BWI report

    Hi
    Purchase price difference between SAP R/3 and BWI report
    What is purchase price variance ?, my user is telling that  in SAP R/3, purchase price variance 100 and in  BWI  report it is 200 .
    Any other terminologies are there for purchase price variance ?
    And any idea wherefrom BWI will take this purchase price variance ?
    Thanks In advance

    Purchase price variance is he difference in price between the amount paid to the supplier and the planned or standard cost of that item
    Request you to check your data first in your Cube/ODS, better would be to check in the data container where the data is first loaded.
    Also check if this field is getting directly loaded as 1-to-1 mapping.

  • Difference between AFTER PARAMETER FORM and BEFORE REPORT in Reports 6i

    Hi Aii,
    What is the difference between AFTER PARAMETER FORM and BEFORE REPORT in Reports 6i.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Balu

    Hi Balu.,
    As per my findings the After Parameter is fired after the Parameters are given to the report and Before Report fires when the queries are parsed and data is fetched.

  • Difference between After parameter Trigger and befor report Trigger

    hi,
    Can anyone tell me Functional difference between After parameter Trigger and Before Report Trigger. with some practical example or scenario.
    I did try few things but I couldn't make out any difference.
    thanks
    ram

    Probably none at this point.
    We pass parameters from a form (and do not use the report param selection screen), but always run code in the afterpform.
    put your parameter form code processing in the afterpform. I rarely ever use before report.
    The order is as expected:
    before pform
    param form
    after pform
    before report
    report
    --between pages during report run
    after report

  • How to have both Classic Report and Interactive Report from the same page?

    Hello APEX developers,
    I want to copy a page consisting of master-detail form together with its data, as in data stored in the tables.
    I've generated a master-detail form(which by default having its detail report as a classic report). I want to copy this page and then migrate this classic report to Interactive Report. This way, I have both the classic master-detail form with report AND the master-detail Interactive Report.
    I've tried doing this but ended up getting a new master-detail Interactive Report page without its data.
    Any feedback is appreciated.
    Best regards,

  • Difference between drill down and filter using navigation attributes?

    hi all,
    can anyone let me know the difference between filter and drilldown options using navigational attributes. pls explain with examples for filter and drill down and how it varies.
    thanxs
    haritha

    Jst to add up with an example :
    Say you have a cost center variance analysis report with cost elements in the filter. ( not present in the default report result )
    Filter - You can right click on a particular cost center & say " Keep Filter Value " - it will result in only showing that cost center & you can wish to select other filter value doing " Select Filter Value ".
    Drill Down - If u wish to see the cost elements associated with cost centers you can right click on Cost Center & do " Drill Down To - Cost Element " or Drill Across.

  • Difference between Business objects Entprise and crystal report server

    hello,
      I have to develop reports which will be used by a group of 100 to 150 users and total reports are 7 and each report will be around 100-150 pages each. So i am in the process of evaluvation BOE and CR server.Can any body help me out in this.
    Prem
    Trying something new

    Hello Prem,
    The Concurrent Access License is per-user logon to Crystal Report Server or BusinessObjects Enterprise.
    Each User logon will increment the CAL.  If a User logs on twice, then CAL is increased by two.  A CAL will not be released until a User logs off.  If the maximum number of CALs have been attained, further logon attempts will be denied.
    With a Named User License, you can have a number of active Users up to the number of NUL that you've purchased.  The named user can connect multiple times to the system.  If you would like to add additional Users beyond the NUL that you have, you either have to purchase further NUL, or disable a User already there.
    In either case, the CAL or NUL won't work like the CPL that you have with the JRC - license management is handled by the Enterprise system.
    With Licensing for the Server or Enterprise, each user accessing reports must be named within the system.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

  • Bug - Database Object Dependencies report and Interactive Reports

    Hello,
    I think I found a bug, perhaps that not the right word, in the Database Object Dependencies report. I don't think it's including problems in Interactive Report regions.

    Scott,
    Sorry, that was a useless bug report... ;)
    What I was actually referring to was the little Parsing Errors report at the bottom of the page/report. I've come to rely on this quite a bit but I had an Interactive Report that was based in part on a table that was dropped and it was not displayed in the parsing errors. I believe the main report is working fine.
