Introduction to Reports

A report exists as a set of specifications that are read by the Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne batch engine for processing. You can create variations of a single report using batch versions. The first step in creating a report is to create a batch application object within JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. You can accomplish this from Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Object Management Workbench (OMW) or by accessing RDA directly from Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Solution Explorer. You then begin designing the report using RDA. The report is actually a template from which multiple versions can be created.

Each report is comprised of sections. These sections are the building blocks of all reports. Within the template, you can add, hide, remove, and rearrange sections as needed.

Each report section is comprised of report objects. You can add, modify, revise, rearrange and delete report objects within a section.
