hi manish,

Zreports are customised reports with respect to the end user(customer) requirement.

We will write a program to capture data to create report with help of ABAP, which is not possible from standard reports in SAP

Hi Manish,

If you use the transaction code SAP1 you will find most of the reports related to SAP.

Similarly transaction code SD01 gives you the reports related to SAP.

When the business requirement is such that the reporting is not covered by SD01 and SAP1 then w make changes in the standard reports. These reports with deviation from standard reports are called Z Reports.

A small search on SDN SD forum will help you to answer your query.

I will suggest you to visit http://sap-img.com/sap-sd.htm. It will give you the overview of SAP SD module.

Moreover there is a separate section of FAQs with answers which will help you in great deal.

Hope this helps you.

Do award points if you found them useful.

Rakesh

P.S. you can send me a mail at my mail id rakeshsinghchauhan@gmail.com for any specific details

Z reports are created when the reporting requirement given by client can not be fulfilled with SAP standard report.

A functional consultant's role is to analyse the exact bussiness requirement for generating the desired report.Analyse the bussiness impact so you can determine the priority to develope the report.

Second thing is analyse the feilds and transactions from which the data is to be captured in report.After this you have to prepare functional specification which is to be given to ABAPer to develope the report.

Functional specs are nothing but giving linkage between tables and fields for the desired fields.Depending on this specs ABAPer will write the code.

Now for example If your customer wants a daily report of Taxes involved in the billing document,then SAP does not have a standard report for this so you will have to create a Z report for this requirement.

My client required divison wise,customer wise,area wise sales report,so we prepared Z-reports for meetinfg these requirements,as these r not provided by SAP standards.

dear arya

Zreports are nothing but changing the standard report as per the clint requirement

when there was no possibility with the standard report we will create Z report

these Z reports are created, when the requirement given by client can not be fulfilled with SAP standard report.

Hi Manish,

Std SAP has provided reports based on general client requirments, which suits for all types of business organizations.These reports some timnes does not fulfill the requirments of some of specific clients.

For this purpose there is need to create new reports based on clinet's requirment with the help of ABAPers.

Even if anyu configuration or any org. unit is created by a Functional Consultant, Name of that specific object is to be started with "Z" like ZPRO - condition type.

The funcktionality is alsio same with the ABAPers. To specify that, new reports based on customer requirments, to differentiate between Std reports they start the name with "Z reports"

Regards,

Praveen.
