Classical and Interactive reporting

Former Member — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 06:40:44 GMT

Hi All,

How can we decide weather to do a reporting in classical or Interactive?

Will it be given in functional spec or we need to decide to code for classical or for Interactive report ?

thanks & regards

Hello Shashikanth,

That will be given in Functional specification.

See, If your requirement is like: You need to display the stock details of materials plant wise. There you will display material number, plant, stock. But if you customer ask to see the material description of the material, You can use interactive report using AT LINE-SELECTION event. Like double click on the materialnumber and get the material description of that material in the next screen.

Other wise your requirement is like you have to display material description along with materail number, then no need to go for interative report.

Reward If helpful.

Hi,

Depends on the end user requirement, which should be mentioned in the functional design document.

E.g. if the report is a simple list report to only display some details and does not involve any user action of secondary lists then you create a simple clasical report.

But if any action is required on the report displayed, e.g. if material is displayed and user should be able to double click and goto MM03 etc. then you need to build an interactive report.

Cheers.

Hi,

It will be given in the functional spec.

Suppose you 5 fields in the basic list . Say fld1,fld2,fld3,fld4,fld5.

Now according to the requirement you have to display fields fld6 , fld7 based on fld1 in the second screen, then interactive programming is used.

Thanks,

hi,

That Is based on your Functional and Client Requirements only..

If ur Client needs to list the things na u use Ordinary Reporting.. that s do good

But If v want to do something like navigating or screen displaying by clicking the list, Interactive will do this

Suppose i need to display a Matnr list, when i click a MATNR in my list it should display al mara table Contents in a SUBLIST, u should use Interactive list for the primary list

Hi ShashiKant,

Functional Specification will give that.

If report consist of any user interaction you can go for Interactive reporting.

Classical reporting is used when only reort is displayed and no user interaction is needed.

Thanks,
