Welcome to the tutorial on the essential SAP SD reports. Reporting in SAP helps
business users to extract information they need and present it in a way that is easy to
understand and utilize. This tutorial is part of our free SAP SD course.

There are lot of different features and tools to help you meet your individual reporting
and analysis requirements. There are two main objectives to use the standard SAP SD
reports:

1. The more you know the standard SAP SD reports and their features, the more
requirements from your business perspective you can fit in with the standard reports. Hence, you don’t have to
develop the customized reports.
2. Even if you are going to create customized reports, knowledge of the limitations of the standard SAP SD reports will
be valuable for you and your developers in creating customized reports.

In general, we can divide standard SAP SD reports into four categories:

lists
work lists
analyses
display documents

In this tutorial, we’re going to explain about each category of SAP SD reports with some examples from standard
transactions that will be useful for your daily work.

Lists

We can consider list as a standard SAP SD report; there is a selection screen where you can specify your requirement.

List of Sales Orders Report

You can use transaction code VA05 for a list of specific sales orders that are created between certain date ranges.
Here is how to use this report:

1. Enter the document type (for this example, I’m using “ZSO1”)

2. Enter the (from) date in the first window in the “Created On” field (e.g.: 01.08.2017)

3. Enter the (to) date in the second window in the “Created On” field (e.g.: 31.08.2017)

4. You can leave the other fields blank (“Persons responsible”, “Created By” and “Organizational Data”). By doing this
you execute the list to contain sales order matching any sales area and any documents created from any users.

5. Click on the execute button or press F8 button on the keyboard.

Initial Selection Screen (T-code VF05)

Now, you will have a list of billing documents that match your criteria of a certain payer within a certain period of time.
The look and feel for this list is similar with the list of sales order (and any other SAP standard report list) with particular
fields title (for example, you will not have Billing Status in VA05; vice versa, you will not see Sales Order Creation Date
in VF05).

The initial step for work list reports is similar to the list reports. First, you enter specific selection criteria in different
fields and execute the report by pressing F8 button. It will display all the matching sales orders, delivery documents, or
billing documents in the list. Then, you select the documents you want to further process (e.g.: process posting goods
issue, or release credit block, or create billing documents).

This is useful for someone who is working with hundreds of deliveries and billing transactions daily because they can
process multiple documents in a short time.

Sales Order Due for Deliveries Report

https://erproof.com/sd/free-training/essential-sap-sd-reports/ 7/18
5/3/22, 9:19 AM Essential SAP SD Reports Tutorial - Free SAP SD Training

You can use transaction VL10A for creating delivery documents from sales orders that are due on certain dates. Here
is how to use it:

1. Restrict the shipping point (for example I enter shipping point “1001”) and enter from-date and to-date in the
windows of “Delivery Creation Date” field.
2. Leave “CalcRuleDefltDlvCrDt” field blank.
3. Leave all the other parameters blank (from tab “General Data” to “User Role”). By doing this, you are going to list
the sales order within certain range of date from a certain shipping point that you can convert to delivery documents
at once.

Initial Screen of Transaction VL10A

This work list will show which sales orders are late for delivery by giving red traffic light. Now, select one of the
documents and click on the “Background” button. The system will automatically run the outbound delivery creation in
background and will give you the new outbound delivery number.

delivery documents) with transaction VKM4. Here is how to do this:

1. Specify the Credit Control Area (for this example, I’m using “PC01”)

2. Enter the Overall Credit Status with value of “B” (Credit check was executed, document not OK).

3. Check or uncheck the range of doc (depends on your business requirement; I only check the deliveries)

4. Execute and the list will contain all the outbound delivery documents blocked due to credit limit or overdue items.

Analyses Reports

Analysis reports are available in most of SD transactions which carry different functionalities. You will find them to be
useful during error handling.

Pricing Analysis

You can utilize the pricing analyses from sales or billing documents. If, for example, a business user complains about
an allegedly wrong price in a sales order, you can use the price analysis to identify the root problem. It can be an
incorrect condition record, wrong access sequence, or wrong pricing procedure. Here is how to use it:

1. Go to one of your sales orders and go to tab “Conditions” on the item level.

2. Click on the “Analysis” button.

can drill down to different subfolders that have different access sequences. Within the subfolders you will find the
condition records.

found or missing.

Left side: Pricing Procedure and Condition Types With Their Access Sequences. Right Side: The Access

Revenue and Reconciliation Account Determination Analysis

For every billing document posted to accounting, there are two determination processes that come to play. Those
account determination analyses will tell you whether the proper G/L account has been determined as it was supposed
to be. Here is how to use them:

some extend) carry different functionalities which can be considered as report as well:

document exists. You can perform this at the header or item levels.
