Summary

In this chapter, we analyzed the strategic position of reporting. You learned how to define the information collection skeleton using UDFs, and how to apply the available SQL tools in SAP to generate your own reports and alerts. Since all reports are based on SQL queries, you are ready to tackle all of your reporting needs.

Therefore, reporting is more than just calling the reports that come with the system. It is a way to make sure you get the information you need to evaluate the key performance indicators of your business.
