1. Moves the workload off the R3 system.
Most sites are trying to run is little reporting off of R3 to maintain server
performance for the OLTP users. R3 is not optimized for reporting - it's a
highly normalized DB design.
2. BW - better query performance. It's been optimized for that, the DB design, features like OLAP and web caching, reporting agent, aggregates, etc...
3. Many more formatting and distribution options - Excel, Web. Reports can be scheduled to run off hours and cached for very quick access during business hours or e-mailed to users.
4. Reports (queries) can be easily setup for variables to parameterize the report and users can save their different selection options as variants.
5. User can modify the report with drill downs, drill across, sorting, modifying selection criteria, change display of key, key and text, or just text.
6. Quicker changes to the queries, addition of fields in BW environment, don't need ABAP developer.
