5.0 out of 5 stars
Don't listen to that other guy!...............,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reporting Made Easy Guidebook series, Release 4.0B (Paperback)
The Simplification Group has done a terrific job of explaining how to use various SAP reporting tools by documenting the creation of actual reports with screen shots and easy-to-understand instructions. While other books tend to focus on only one tool, they've included directions for ABAP Query, Report Painter/Report Writer, Drilldown Reporting and LIS Reporting. They even give you the tools you need to decide which reporting tool is appropriate for the information you're trying to get out of the system. I believe this guidebook is an absolute "must-have" for anybody who is using SAP. It gives a comprehensive outline for your overall reporting strategy, then provides more than enough direction to get you beyond the starting gate with each tool. If you don't feel like developing ad hoc reports by yourself, Book 3 helps you to find many of the SAP-delivered reports that already exist, and shows you how to tailor your query to get only the information you need. I highly recommend this book!

The best how to do guide on R/3 reporting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reporting Made Easy Guidebook series, Release 4.0B (Paperback)
This guidebook is very good if you want to get an overview, but the greatest value is the guide's how to make the reports. I have used it to make drill down reports in CO-PA utilising most of the R/3 reporting features. The part on ABAP query is also very useful.
