In previous places of employment when I needed to look at master data such as vendor, purchasing, materials, etc...to evaluate it for possible problems to work toward a solution. I would use SE16 or SQLViewer to go after the raw data in the tables. I am very proficient in this type of work and know what tables I have to go after. However, at my current place of employment they will not give me this access because of the possibility I might change data, etc. and I am in the wrong group to have this type of authority.
My question is this... Are there any SAP standard reports that I could request access to and run that will extract data from purchasing, vendor, material master, and invoicing? I would then download it to excel and do my analysis from there. I believe they would grant me access to this because I would not have the opportunity to modify data.
Thank you.
