SAP Query
SAP Query
The Terminologies:
SAP Query Area is a set of objects having queries, InfoSets and User Groups which are
consistent.
Standard Area – They are Client Specific Queries and do not create an Work
Bench Request
Global Area – Queries in the Global Area are Client Independent
SAP database have several numbers of tables in which the transactions, master data
gets stored and it’s practically not feasible to have all such fields for selection when
creating a query. Hence before the start of creating a query, InfoSet creation is
required.
It allows selecting Fields from either the tables selected or the logical database used to
get display/select in the output.
The InfoSet creation can be made with the Combination of Tables (Table Join), Direct
read from a Single Table or with the help of Logical Database.
The Red Box marked Icon allows adding more tables under the join.
Field Group contains the Fields which are required either to get in the report output or
in the selection screen.
Drag the Fields for the “Data Fields” to the relevant Field Groups to appear in the
report.
You can even change the text of the Fields that is getting displayed over the Output.
Once the InfoSet is created, it needs to be generated by click on “Generation” icon.
Any changes made to the InfoSet, it needs to be re-generated everytime.
All the InfoSet queries which are created to be assigned to one or more user group
Once the InfoSets are created and assigned to User Group, Query needs to be designed.
It is basically known as Query Painter in which we design basic lists in WYSIWYG mode
(what-you-see-is-what-you-get).
We need to select the User Group first in which query needs to be designed. Click on
icon to select the user group.
Specify the Query Name and click on the Create Option.
We can select the Output Format, Variant assignment over the Basic List.

Database programs.
Example:
Once the Table are copied follow the same steps as mentioned above for creation of
Field Groups, Query Creation & Execution.
