  General report selection is a feature of the SAP BC-SRV-REP Report Tree component. It allows users to create and manage reports that can be used to analyze data from multiple sources. Reports can be created using a variety of criteria, such as date range, customer segment, or product type. Reports can also be filtered by specific criteria, such as customer name or product code.

  To use the general report selection feature, users must first create a report template. This template will define the criteria for the report, such as date range, customer segment, or product type. Once the template is created, users can then select the data sources they want to include in the report. Finally, users can filter the report by specific criteria, such as customer name or product code.

  When creating a report template, it is important to consider the data sources that will be included in the report. This will help ensure that all relevant data is included in the report and that any filters applied are appropriate for the data set. Additionally, it is important to consider how often the report will need to be updated and whether any additional filters should be applied.
