Hi,

Report Painter is also a Tool provided by SAP to write/design the Reports without the need of a true programmer/developer. It is helpful to functional people to create the reports depending on their requirement.

Especially useful in FI CO.

The output of report painter will be similar to other reports which we develop.

Regards,

Anji

hi,

ABAP Query is an ABAP Workbench tool that enables users without knowledge of the ABAP programming language to define and execute their own reports.

In ABAP Query, you enter texts and select fields and options to determine the structure of the reports. Fields are selected from functional areas and can be assigned a sequence by numbering.

whereas the Report Painter enables you to report on data from various applications. It uses a graphical report structure that forms the basis for the report definition. When defining the report, you work with a structure that corresponds to the final structure of the report when the report data is output.
