There are 2 options while you create and save a RD report:

1. Use a default output and allow end user to select other output format on runtime.
2. Use a default output and do not allow user to select any other format.

You would be able to view these options when you try to publish your report on the repository, you can export it and then publish the report on BA server but i would recommend you connect to BA server repository and then publish the report. While you are publishing on bottom left you would be able to view Output type and if you want to lock that output type of not.
