Report for getting bp without activites

Question

Hello experts,
I just want to select all bp of our system,
which do NOT have activites:
  TABLES: but000,
          but020,
          adrc,
          smovbka. " activites
  DATA: zbut000 TYPE TABLE OF but000.
  SELECT *
  FROM ( but020
         INNER JOIN but000
         ON  but000partner = but020partner
         INNER JOIN adrc
         ON  adrcaddrnumber = but020addrnumber )
         INNER JOIN smovbka
         ON but000partner_guid NE smovbkasfakna1          " I think here is the problem
   INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE zbut000.
But I get timeout.
How can I search the bp which have NO activies ?
Has anybody an idea ?

Hi,
You are rigth, the problem is exactly on a place You have marked. What are You doing is like joining all BPs with all activities which are not assigned to them and your requirement is completely different. Result of this join is a huge amount of data. Use a subquery instead (statement NOT EXISTS).
It will look like this:
SELECT *
FROM ( but020
INNER JOIN but000
ON but000~partner = but020~partner
INNER JOIN adrc
ON adrc~addrnumber = but020~addrnumber )
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE zbut000
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT sfakna1 FROM smovbka WHERE sfakna1 EQ but000~partner_guid )
