Teaching implementation of sustainable and innovative reporting approaches by means of embedded SAP GUI technologies

Abstract

Various methods and techniques are available in SAP reporting. New approaches, however, rarely replace old and robust techniques immediately. Depending on the environment, business requirements, organizational and personal best practices, multiple solutions might be adequate. This paper presents an embedded SAP List Viewer technique by means of using shortened expression, the ALV Object Model. This case study demonstrates how to use old and new approaches in parallel, enabling both sustainability and innovation.
