Summary :
When using SAP Report Writer to execute standard order or project reports like 6pp2 or 6P01, users may encounter a discrepancy in the data output range expected versus received. This stems from a distinction in handling fiscal year and period parameters. For instance, report inputs set from Fiscal Year 1993 to 1995 and Period 001 to 006 might misleadingly suggest a selection spanning entire periods in 1993 and 1994, but only the first half in 1995. However, the selection uniformly applies the specified periods across all mentioned years. Past adaptations to these reports in earlier versions like Release 2.0A preclude alteration of this logic, recommending reliance on or customization of the model report 6O06 for current needs.
