Summary

"SAP R/3 Reporting" shows how to deliver effective reports for every area of the enterprise. It's the first book to focus specifically on SAP R/3 reporting. Curran begins by introducing SAP R/3's key information systems, data resources, and business processes. Next, he reviews specific reports for financials, logistics, HR, asset management, and shows how to build reports that are readable, accurate, and timely. Finally, Curran introduces ActiveSheets, third-party software that streamlines reporting by working through Microsoft Excel. A working ActiveSheets demo is included on CD-ROM.
