The report parameters allow for the parameterization of reports; i.e. the result of the output can be influenced. This allows e.g. a date range to be selected or only certain invoice numbers to be printed.
This functionality can also be used to create drill-down reports. For more information, see chapter Drilldown Reports (Increase Detail Level).
Tip: The availability of this chart depends on the application.
