What is Report Painter?

Report Painter is a tool, often found within enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems like SAP, that allows users to create custom reports without requiring extensive programming knowledge. It typically provides a visual, drag-and-drop interface to select data fields, define calculations, and format the report layout. Users can specify which data to include, how it should be grouped, and what calculations (e.g., sums, averages) to perform. It is commonly used by business users to generate financial statements, sales analyses, inventory reports, and other operational reports tailored to their specific needs.
