Reply from melvel on Apr 17 at 8:33 PM Before you go develop reports please make sure what you want and make sure is not available on standard ECC . You will be surprised how many developed reports are not used a few months after the implementation
Best regards

Subject: How Much is Report Painter/Report Write Used
Hi, Cindy - When SAP was installed in 1996, there were well over 200 painters/writers developed to do PCA/CCA/Internal order reporting for reports that were not delivered by SAP. Things like 12 month trends (individual months across a page) and mixtures of plan and actual data in formats that were not available were developed. There were also many reports developed that used "cell logic" to create reports that could have been developed in ABAP, but this was even before ALV grids were popular.
All of those reports are still in use today, but no new development has been done in over a dozen years. If you're using a BI, they become obsolete quickly.
Now, if you're looking to develop simple management reporting that upgrades like a dream, Painter and Writer are still a good bet, old or not.
