SAP Financial Accounting (SAP FI) Practice Exam

Which two statuses can ALV reports be run with?

1. Active and inactive

2. Open and dueness

3. Completed and pending

4. Published and draft

The correct answer is: Open and dueness

The correct answer identifies the two statuses relevant to ALV (ABAP List Viewer) reports, which are integral for managing and viewing data within an SAP system. ALV reports can indeed be executed under an "Open" status, indicating that the report is currently being accessed or is available for users to view, and "dueness," which pertains to the timing or deadlines associated with the data being reported. This context signifies that the report not only provides real-time data but can also reflect time-sensitive conditions that users need to be aware of. The other options present statuses that don't apply to the ALV report functionality specifically. For example, "Active and inactive" statuses might pertain more generally to program or application states rather than to the reporting viewer itself. Similarly, "Completed and pending" is more indicative of task or process management statuses rather than how reports are classified within ALV. The reference to "Published and draft" also suggests a content management environment rather than the operational context of report execution. Understanding these distinctions is critical for leveraging SAP's reporting capabilities effectively.
