Displaying and Printing Report Lists in sap

Procedure

Displaying a List

To display a list:

1. Execute the report from your task or from the System menu.

See Executing a Report.

2. In the selection criteria screen, enter the selection criteria in the appropriate input fields.

See Selection Criteria.

To enter your selection criteria using a variant, you can select a variant from the dropdown list of possible entries.

See Displaying Available Report Variants.

3. From the selection criteria screen, choose Program
® Execute.

The list appears. A sample list is shown here:

If your list is large, the SAP System takes longer to process all the data. If the SAP System cannot process all the data, a message indicating processing limitations appears in the status bar. In that case, you must:

• Execute the report with a variant, or
• Enter more selection criteria values, or
• Print the list using background processing

Printing a List

To print a list:

1. Execute the report from your task or from the System menu.

See Executing a Report.

2. In the selection criteria screen, enter the selection criteria in the appropriate fields.

See Selection Criteria.

To enter your selection criteria using a variant, you can select a variant from the dropdown list of possible entries. See Displaying Available Report Variants.

3. Choose Program
® Execute + print.

The print screen appears. Complete the appropriate input fields.

The system displays default values that you can overwrite. If your list is large, you may want to store it in the output controller and print it later, outside of business hours. Printing large lists can slow down the system and tie up printers. See Printing from the SAP System.

In general, after you start printing a list, you cannot cancel it. You can cancel a list (that is, a spool request) only if you delete it immediately, before it leaves the SAP spool system.

4. On the print screen, choose Output
® Print from the menu bar.

A print summary screen appears.

If your list is large, the SAP System takes longer to process all the data. If the SAP System cannot process all the data, a message indicating processing limitations appears in the status bar. In that case, you must:

• Execute the report with a variant, or
• Enter more selection criteria values, or
• Print the list using background processing

Report List Output in sap

Use

You can display and print a report list by executing a report from within your task or from the System menu.

Most of the reports you need are available in your application, where you can choose them from the menus. The menu that contains the reports varies from application to application; however, many reports are available from the Environment menu. To choose a report in some applications, you may first need to enter a value, for example, a material number. Your application documentation describes which menus contain the reports, and provides instructions for choosing them.

You can find a complete list of report programs and report lists in the so-called report tree. To access the report tree from the SAP Easy Access standard menu, choose Information Systems ® General Report Selection. To display your report program and report list options, choose the application from which you want to execute the report or report list.

To execute a report, double-click the report name. The selection criteria screen appears. Enter your selection criteria, and choose Execute. See also Executing a Report.

Activities

To choose a report from the System menu, you must know the program name for the report. This applies only to the System menu. Using the System menu, you can execute reports:

• That are not available from menus
• From anywhere in the SAP System

For more information on report names, see Finding the Name of a Report You Want to Execute.

You can either print a list, or display a list and then print it. If you have large lists, you should print them using background processing.
