Functional reporting and Administrative Reporting

Hi All,
Can anyone give the brief description for Functional reporting and Administrative Reporting with examples.
Its very urgent......
Regards,
Sita

Hi Sitarama,
According to me, functional reporting refers to the detailed reports that are generally executed & used by the people who are actually doing the job (e.g. Payroll specialist). We are generally developing functional reports with ABAP. On the other hand, administrative reporting refers to the more high-end reports that are detail-free and gives the overall picture. They are generally used by managers, etc. (e.g. HR manager). We generally carry out administrative reporting in BI.
For instance, a functional report may include all of the payroll wage types of the employees that are paid in the respective months whereas administrative report includes the total amount paid to all of the employees in the company.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Dilek

  • Difference between r/3 report and bw report

    Hi
    can u give me detail difference between r/3 report and bw report.all information is geting in r/3 y bw report
    plz send me any document if u have
    prasanth.k

    Hi,
    These two reporting seem to function similarly with slice and dice.
    A) The major benefits of reporting with BW over R/3 are in terms of performance and analysis.
    1. Performance -- Heavy reporting along with regular OLTP transactions can produce a lot of load both on the R/3 and the database (cpu, memory, disks, etc). Just take a look at the load put on your system during a month end, quarter end, or year-end -- now imagine that occurring even more frequently.
    2. Data analysis -- BW uses a Data Warehouse and OLAP concepts for storing and analyzing data, where R/3 was designed for transaction processing. With a lot of work you can get the same analysis out of R/3 but most likely would be easier from a BW.

  • Normal report and ALV report, where exactly both are differs?

    For Normal report and ALV report, where exactly both are differs, I mean from which part the process / coding will differ, pls le me know..?
    Akshitha.

    Hi Akshitha,
    In Normal reports we use formatting techniques to display the report list. We define heading and size everything to display report list. But where as in alv we need not to use any formating there are some function modules which will automatically display output list in LIST  and GRID format.
    In Normal report we cannot make changes to the output list where in ALV report we can change the ALV output display dynamically. You can find lots of options for  the ALV list such as you can download output list into Excel sheet and Sorting options Acending and decending order in ALV but in normal report We need to write syntax in the report to display output list in sorting order.  The ALV report is very easy way to display the output compared to Ordinary report.
    Check below some links which will help you to understand about ALV. If you know about Normal report you can campare by userself the difference.

  • Use of READ REPORT and INSERT REPORT

    Hi Guys,
    i need a small help from u guys.......
    i want to know the use of READ REPORT and INSERT REPORT  with Example
    the requirement is...
    i want to declare an internal table with fields from custom table.
    if any field is aded in the custum table then that field also should get populated in the program.
    Ex: custom table fields are
    MANDT
    BUKRS
    MATNR
    LIFNR
    field1
    field2
    field3
    now suppose if a new field field4 is added in the Table
    then the Program should automatically pick-up the fields from FIELD1...FIELD4.
    i heard by using READ and INSERT report we can do it
    plz help me ...
    Thanks
    Sunil.:-)

    If you're on 46C or above, you can use the following to generate tables dynamically.
    CALL METHOD CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE
    EXPORTING
    IT_FIELDCATALOG = GT_FIELDCAT
    IMPORTING
    EP_TABLE = GS_DATA_HEAD
    EXCEPTIONS
    GENERATE_SUBPOOL_DIR_FULL = 1
    OTHERS = 2.
    But you are restricted to 32 calls, if I remember correctly.  If you are in a later release, you can use the RTTS classes to create internal tables dynamically, without the restriction on subroutine pools.
    These classes are CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR and subclasses.
    There are a few blogs on SDN that give examples of their use.

  • Crystal reports and formatted reporting.

    hi experts,
    i have a clarification about  crystal reports and formatted reporting.in what scenarios they are used..
    points ll be rewarded...
    thanks
    baskar

    Hi ,
    Crystal Reports is a powerful, dynamic, actionable reporting solution that helps you design, explore, visualize, and deliver reports via the web or embedded in enterprise applications. It enables end users to consume reports with stunning visualizations, conduct on-report business modeling, and execute decisions instantly from the report itself—reducing dependency on IT and developers.
    The report can then be previewed on the screen, printed onto paper or exported to one of several different file formats such as PDF, Excel, text or CSV.
    It is also possible to run a Crystal Report without using the full Crystal Reports designer software. These alternate methods for running reports include locally installed viewers, schedulers, and report distribution tools. These are typically third-party software programs (independent of Business Objects) that allow you to open, refresh, preview, print and export an RPT file. In 2007 Business Objects released their own viewer, Crystal Reports Viewer XI, but unlike the independent viewers it does not allow the user to refresh the report, but only to view static data saved in the RPT file.
    Thnx,
    Srinivas

  • 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.

  • Error Logging in B2B Business Message Status Reports and Error Reports.

    Hi,
    Could someone please let us know as to how the error messages are being shown up in the b2b frontend in the Business Message Details Report and Error Reports.
    In some of the cases the error message logging is not happening properly and even against the valid transaction block the entire iAudit Report or the B2B Analyzer report is getting posted .
    In some cases the error message is logged as AIP-51505: General Validation Error (for the transaction block which is valid and having no errors)
    Is there any way from the b2b backend these error messages and business messages could be traced or is there any other way wherein the proper and relevant error messages could be tracked from B2B.
    Thanks

  • Document integration for Bex reports and web reports

    Hi,
    I would like to attach few documentaion (like business usage of the report) for all existing reports in BW system. We are delivering all reports through Bex reports and Web reports.
    Report user should be able to see attached documentation through "Document" property in Web report.
    I have followed this way but not able to get on-line documentation for queries.
    1. RSA1--> Documents >Meta Data> selected Object type ELEM> Import document> attached word document.
    2. I enabled Documents property in Query designer.
    3. When I executed this query in Bex, I could see document symbol for all characteristics & Key figures in all cell (in default view)
    4. The same result with Web report (all cells are having document symbol).
    But I dont want to display documents in defaul view, if any user wanted to have doucment info, then should click on "document" tab and should be able to down load / read on line.
    Let me know why I am getting document symbol for all key / char, even though i selected "ELEM". I know we could direclty import documents in query designer, what is the difference..
    Rgds..

    Hi,
    Anybody could provide step to step procedure for doucument integration for Bex reports.

  • 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.
    AKSHAT..........

  • 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.
    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).
    *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.

    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
