Hi Jumbulingam,
Here is the simply query SELECT T0.DocNum, T0.CardName, T0.BaseAmnt FROM OPOR T0, which will generate the list of purchase orders and sends an alert to the concerned user.
How to manage Alerts:-
For the first question - you to first wirte a query. for this log on to Query Generator select the table from which you want to generate a report or otherwise.
Now go to Admn/Alert Management - in the window - change to add mode and give some name to your alert program and from "Open saved Query" select the query which you had write for this process. After this you can check box the users who should get this message/mail etc.,
For the second question - while writing query, you can specify conditions that should be considered while generating query reports. This can again be fowarded to users thru alert management.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
Thanks,
