Hi,

There are total 6 types of applications. 3 of them are reporting type and the rest 3 are non reporting type.

The main difference is that the reporting type of applications are used for the main objective of your business, like planning or consolidation. Whereas the non reporting type of applications hold the data which might support your planning or consolidation process. You cannot assign work status to the non reporting type of applications. Please look at the below links from help.sap:

I guess you are referring to application to application data transfer. For this, you can use destination_app statement in your script logic or you can make use of the DM packages.

Hope this helps.
