hi priya,

Report is generally used to display the summarised data for example list of sales orders, material, blocked customer etc...

script is used for displaying particular sales order, quotation or invoice........

which is used to send for the customer , vendor or for ex. transfer order, packing list.........

hi,

<b>report:</b> we mainly used report for extracting data from database tables.

report programs are used for internal purpose.

<b>script:</b> we can use scripts for designing business form. by using script for designing interface between r/3 system and business user.

script mainly used for external purpose.

hi,

script is basically used for printing,

report is for information,

printing a report is difficult,

report can be interactive,

script is not interactive,

script is client-dependent,

report is client-independent,

script is modified in most cases,

report is developed from the scratch,

A script is a used for printing company specific documents as shipping labels, invoice, purchase order etc. it is basically meant for printing as copy to the customer or others. it is client dependent. It can never be interactive.

However, a report is an executable program which can be static or interactive used to automate an existing business functionality which is mainly used for reporting purpose. it is client independent.
