Including sub reports in your report definition
It may be that the business object for which you want to create a report definition is linked to another business object. The data of the linked business object can also be included in the report. If a report on a specific business object contains a subsection with data from another business object, this is called a subreport.
For example: orders are linked to a property. You could make a report on properties, including a subreport with orders per property.
