Question { 60908 }

Can anybody tell me the difference b/w canned and
adhoc
reporting?.

Answer

Canned reports are Pre-defined reports where requirements are
available from the user through a requirement specification
document.

Ad hoc reports are generated at instance. i.e. Reports are
created spontaneously upon the requirements. It is available
to all level of users who need not be familiar with the query
generation process to run a report. They can create a report
based upon their requirement based upon the business elements
available to them.
