Including sub reports in your report definition
When you create a report definition for a business object, it may be linked to one or more other business objects. You can include data from these linked business objects in the report. When a report on a primary business object contains a section that displays data from a linked business object, this section 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.
