Purpose of Query.
Advantages of Query
Infosets/UserGroups/Query in Detail
The SAP Query application is used to create reports not already contained in the default. It has been designed for users with little or no
knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP.
SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reports and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and
ranked lists.
These outputs can include lists on screens in table format, ALV grids, downloadable spreadsheets, and downloadable flat files. The internal
report generator creates an ABAP program corresponding to the definition of the list.
Features:
The SAP Query comprises five components:
Queries
InfoSet Query
InfoSets
User Groups
Translation/Query
Classic reporting- the creation of lists, statistics and ranked lists- are covered by theInfoSet Query and Queries components. Other components range of
functions cover the maintenance of InfoSets, the administration of user groups and also the translation of texts created in the SAP Query. All data required
by a user for a report can be read from various tables.
To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options, which determine the report layout. In the
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) mode, you can edit the lists using Drag & Drop and various toolbars.

Query Components
The Queries component is used by end users to maintain queries.
You can carry out the following tasks:
Define Queries
Change Queries
Infosets Components
End-users are able to work only with those InfoSets that are relevant to their particular area, as designated by the role or user group that they are
assigned to.
Eg: Vendor master data can be important in purchasing as well as in accountancy. The relevant InfoSet is assigned to both roles/user groups. This
means that queries based on this InfoSet can be copied and executed by both groups.
The User Groups component is used to maintain user groups. The system administrator uses it to set up the work environment for end-users.
2.
Every user assigned to the user group is able to execute the query.
3.
Users are not allowed to modify queries from other user groups, although they may, under certain circumstances, copy and execute
Translation/Query Component
A great deal of text is generated when defining queries, InfoSets, and user groups.
The SAP Query displays these texts in the language that you chose when you logged on to the SAP system.
You can compare the text languages using the component Translation/Query.
A related text in one or more additional languages is made available for each of the texts created when defining the query.
Query Areas
A query area contains a set of query objects (queries, InfoSets, and user groups) that are discrete and consistent.
There are the following query areas:
Standard area
Global area
Standard Area
1.Client specific
2.Query objects are not attached to the Workbench Organizer
Advantage :-End users can develop queries (ad-hoc reports) in their own client that are not meant for use in the rest of the system.
Global Area
1.Cross client
2.Query objects are attached to workbench organizer
Advantage:-The global query area is well suited for centrally developing queries meant for use and distribution throughout the system.
Authorizations
End-users, system administrators, and translators must all be assigned the appropriate authorizations allowing them to work with the SAP Query.
In order to give individual users targeted, specific rights, the following options are available:
Roles/user groups
Authorizations
