The interactive, query-building capabilities of SQR Production Reporting Studio access R/3 Business Objects through a graphical user interface. You use the embedded BAPI browser to navigate through the meta-layer defined by SAP R/3 and to select report data.
Production Reporting’s Direct Data Objects (DDOs) provide direct reporting capability to the SAP R/3 system and turn SAP R/3 non-relational data into object-oriented structures that SQR Production Reporting Studio processes.
Using SQR Production Reporting Studio to create SAP R/3 reports involves creating an SAP R/3 data source connection, choosing a report type, connecting to the database, and selecting data.
