Introduction
This white paper explores various methods of accessing ECC/R3 data through Crystal Reports.
Connecting Crystal Reports to ECC
The following is discussed as to how data is extracted from ECC to Crystal Reports.
Function Module
Table and Table joins InfoSet and Query
Accessing Data through Function Module
There is a Function module z_salesorder_item_getdata that extracts header-level data for a particulardocument number. This FM data can easily be accessed by Crystal Reports.
Here are some details of the Function Module under consideration:
Import Parameters
Note: Export parameters are blank.
Tables
Exceptions

Accessing Function module through Crystal Reports
Here are the steps:
Step 1:
Go to the database expert. Navigate to the Function module.
The Function module is listed in the data source tree (Sap Tables, Cluster or Function).
Step 2:
Copy it to the right hand space as shown in the figure below:

The function module is now ready to be used for the report. The available fields appear inside the Functionmodule in the Field Explorer.
Accessing Data through Standard Tables or Views
Crystal Reports can also access tables or views just like the function modules. Joins can even be createddirectly in the database expert just by selecting more than one table.
The following example will create a table join between the VBAP and VBAK table
Step 1:
Go to the database expert.
Step 2:
Select the two tables as shown in the figure below:

The join is automatically generated.
Step 3:
Click OK. The table fields are in the field explorer.
Step 4:
Drag and drop the field in the canvas to create the report.

Creating Crystal Report through InfoSet or Query
InfoSet Query is suitable for reporting in all areas of the SAP R/3 system.
How to Create an Infoset
Step 1:
Go to tcode SQ02.
Step 2:
Give a suitable name to the InfoSet. Click Create.
Step 3:

Step 4:
Click Insert table on the InfoSet design canvas to select the appropriate table to be joined.

Step 6:
Click Generate on the InfoSet manage screen.
The infoset is now ready
Remember to assign roles and user groups to the infoset. Otherwise, it will not appear in the Crystal Reportsdatabase expert.
After assigning the roles and user group to the infoset (these should also be mapped to the user ID beingused), the infoset appears in the database expert.
Since the query area is in global, the test infoset just created appears under the group of G.
G = global
L = local
I = infoset
Q = query
Step 7:
Click Finish. The infoset is ready in the field explorer of the Crystal report.Similarly, access an infoset query.
