Hi

Report painter:

A tool for creating reports that meet specific business and reporting requirements.

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.

The SAP System is delivered with several row and column models that can be used as building blocks to help you create reports quickly and simply.

Report Writer:

A tool for creating reports that meet specific business and reporting requirements.

Report Writer enables you to report on data from multiple applications. Using functions such as sets, variables, formulas, cells and key figures, you can create complex reports that meet specific reporting requirements.

When working with Report Writer, you can use certain functions that are not supported by Report Painter. These functions include:

Multidimensional column structures

User-defined definition of inactive row and column combinations

Enhanced functions for using cells in column formulas

ABAP Query:

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.

ABAP Query offers the following types of reports:

Basic lists

Statistics

Ranked lists
