SAP QUERY – SQ01

STEP BY STEP GUIDE

SAP Query enables data from multiple tables to be extracted in one report, as long as at least one

field of data can be linked from one table to another e.g. by Document Number.
Unlike table browser (SE16), reports from SAP Query can be saved.
You will need the required tables and fields before running SAP Query (if not known, refer to the

list of tables PDF within the Data Extraction section).

Click on the Quick Viewer button.

The next screen enables new reports to be created or saved reports to be run or amended.

Note: The Help topics at the bottom of the page are referenced to the SAP Library on Internet

Explorer.

In this example we are creating a report to show all vendors for a particular Company with name,

address, payment method and bank details.

This will involve joining three tables:

Note: A query will only work with actual tables and some e.g. BSEG are too large to work with.
The system will let you know if it cannot work with a specific table. When this happens, logical
databases should be used instead. These can be identified using transaction SE12 (See separate
instructions).
