BC405 – Programming ABAP Reports

BC405 – Programming ABAP Reports develops practical capability to build selection-driven ABAP reports using Open SQL, report events, classical and interactive lists, ALV techniques, authorization-aware filtering, output controls, and performance-conscious design. The learning path connects course concepts with controlled SAP execution, reviewable evidence, and clear business accountability.

Applied work follows a business reporting team replacing spreadsheet extracts with reusable SAP reports that provide governed selection criteria, drilldown, totals, user layouts, and reproducible output. Learners create ABAP report foundation workbook, classical and interactive report evidence pack, ALV report implementation workbook, and ABAP reporting assurance plan, while testing realistic exceptions including a report accepts contradictory selection criteria and returns misleading output; a drilldown action displays details from the wrong selected row; a saved layout hides a mandatory control column for another user group; a background report completes but truncates a required output section.

By completion, participants can design report selections, retrieve data efficiently, generate classical and ALV output, support interaction, apply access controls, test large-volume behavior, and document report ownership.

What You Will Learn

• Explain selection screen design and relate it to reliable trusted ABAP reporting decisions.
• Configure Open SQL retrieval to support controlled trusted ABAP reporting across defined organizational boundaries.
• Execute report event sequencing while recording documents, statuses, approvals, and accountable evidence.
• Validate classical list formatting against expected outcomes, integration dependencies, and authorization controls.
• Analyze interactive report navigation to locate where operational results diverge from approved design.
• Resolve ALV layout construction exceptions through evidence-led correction, retesting, and documented ownership.
• Interpret report authorization checks indicators to prioritize improvements and communicate supported business conclusions.
• Prepare large-volume performance testing handover records with review triggers, responsibilities, and measurable follow-up actions.
