• Key Concepts: 
  Report type is a feature in SAP Quality Management (QM) that allows users to define the structure of a report. It is used to determine which fields are available for data entry and which fields are mandatory. Report types also define the layout of the report, including the order of the fields and the formatting of the output.
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a report type, users must first define the structure of the report. This includes selecting which fields are available for data entry, which fields are mandatory, and the order of the fields. Once this is done, users can then define the layout of the report, including formatting options such as font size and color. Finally, users can save the report type for future use.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a report type, it is important to consider how it will be used. For example, if a report type is intended to be used for data entry, it should include all necessary fields and should be easy to navigate. If a report type is intended to be used for output, it should include formatting options such as font size and color.
