Parameter
You must define parameters for each report. A parameter represents a range of accounts or accounting units and defines the scope of the report. The way a parameter is defined depends on the style of the report. For example, do you want your balance sheet report to include amounts for the entire company or select accounting units only? Do you want to create an income statement that includes all accounts in your chart or select accounts only?
Every report must have two sets of ranges defined: account number ranges and accounting unit ranges. You can define these ranges using Rows (RW10) and Report Writer (RW00.1). If the row contains account ranges, as it would for a Style 1 report, then you must define the accounting unit ranges on RW00. The opposite would be true for a Style 2 report. See this table for details:
