Area menus allow you to group together menus that contain a set of functions intended to perform a particular task in a company.

Report trees includes systems and financial audit tasks, reports and tests for additional modules which are under development.

Reward if it helps!!

Report Tree->

Prerequisites

Once you have accessed General Report Selection, you can expand the report tree structure to find the reports you want to start and perform other related functions:

You can:

· Start reports

· Start reports in the background

· Find reports

· Display report attributes

· Display report variants

· Display report documentation

· Access and start reports that do not appear in the report tree

Procedure

Starting Reports

...

1. Expand the report tree structure until you reach the required report

2. Position the cursor on the report and choose Execute (or double-click on the report)

If the report has no selection screen, the resulting list is displayed immediately.

If the report has a selection screen, go to step 3.

3. Enter your selection criteria and choose Execute
