• Key Concepts: 
  Report classes are used in the Executive Information System (EC-EIS) component of SAP to group reports together. This allows users to quickly and easily access related reports, as they can be found in the same report class. Report classes are also used to assign authorization profiles to users, so that they can only access the reports that they are authorized to view. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use report classes in SAP, first create a report class by assigning it a name and description. Then, add the reports that you want to include in the class. Once the report class is created, you can assign authorization profiles to it so that users can only access the reports that they are authorized to view. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating report classes, it is important to think about how users will be accessing the reports. For example, if you want users to be able to quickly find related reports, you should group them together in the same report class. Additionally, make sure that you assign appropriate authorization profiles so that users can only access the reports that they are authorized to view.
