Reports in SAP
A report is basically the output of data in a required format. SAP has provided many standard reports which can easily be found in the SAP easy access menu just by clicking information systems. Most of your reporting requirements will be reached through the standard reports which are provided by SAP. Reports that are needed and don’t exist in the SAP system can be evolved by using reporting tools or through advanced business application programming (ABAP) i.e. technical development. Now we will discuss the various reporting tools available in the SAP system

InfoSet query
This is a tool to build up an SAP query. It is a general SAP reporting tool for creating your own reports. They are also used to immediately recover data from an InfoSet without producing a query from an InfoSet. InfoSet every time forms the base for each query, as queries are a group of data in InfoSet. Note that queries are produced either for a particular function or for a particular user group. queries assigned to a specific group are accessed by all users of a specific user group.
Advantages
- It has a clear interface
- It is very easy to operate
- No programming effort needed
- Integration with SAP query will happen so queries can also be treated with SAP Query
Limitations
- InfoSets as well as user groups must have to be defined in the SAP query in order to use the InfoSet query

Quickview
You can illustrate the QuickView reports and can outlook them via transaction SQVI. This aids you in displaying information from different data sources. For the creation of a QuickView, you won’t require an InfoSet; rather the data will be selected from a table, logical database and a table join. Every user can define his own particular QuickViews that are only seen by that user. They are not able to be copied and are user-specific. You can arrange an SAP Query from QuickView. Nevertheless, the situation is that QuickView uses a functional area from the standard system as a data source. The query is then seeable to the user group.

Your own ABAP program
If the demands are unfit to be achieved via any of the previous tools, then writing your own ABAP program assists to deliver a custom report. There are basically two types of reports, the first one is the List, which has very few features and the second one is an ALV, which has extra features. An ALV report has wide functionality, similar to Microsoft Excel. It lets you cover, reformat and highlight list items, add graphic elements, and generally make an ABAP list into a very effective communication tool. The various types of ALV reports are simple, grid control, hierarchical, blocked list, graphical list, and interactive.
Advantages
- The full scope of the ABAP language can be used
- The ABAP workbench gives an easy-to-use development environment
Limitation
- The programmer has complete freedom to write code, which sometimes can lead to harm for example runtime errors and incorrect data recovery
