Dear Devender Reddy,

Create Report Categories :
In this step, you define the report categories and determine the layout of the standard selection screen for these report categories. You can create report categories for programs or queries that are based on the PNP or PNPCE logical databases.
The definition of report categories is divided into two sections:
o In the Change Report Category view, you define general attributes such as sort order, input fields for date, and so on.
o In the Change Selection Criteria view, you define which selection fields of the logical database should be avaliable on the selection screen.
Adjusting the Standard Selection Screen:
In this step, you can adapt the standard selection screen for reports which use the logical database PNP or PNPCE to your requirements.
To do this, you assign a program class to the reports whose selection screen you want to change. The program class determines which selection parameters appear and which characteristics these parameters have.
Reports are assigned to report classes in the standard SAP system. By making entries in Customizing, you can override the SAP report classes.
When you call up a report, a check is carried out first to see whether you have assigned a program class to the report. If you have, the selection screen belonging to the report class appears. Otherwise, the selection screen that was assigned to the report class in the standard SAP system, appears.
