Internal variables of report painter shouldn't be selectable
Dear collegues,
I have created two new internal variables in report writer in order to use them in planning layout of TA KP67:
- previous year: marked as internal variable: calculated as: &1CGJAHE-1 (2008)
and
- future year: marked as internal variable: calcualted as: &1CGJAHE+1 (2010).
In report painter these variables are assigned to key figures and are not shown on the selection screen again as they are calculated internally.
But in planning layout of TA KP67 cost activity planning these variables are also assigned to key figures like actual costs or fixed planned costs and are indicated as acceptable for input on the selection screen but shouldn't - so how it is possible to define internal variables in co planning layouts as really internal which do not come up if the planning layout is executed via TA KP06?
Thanks and regards,
Christian
Hello Christian,
when I understand your request correctly, you want to plan for several years like 2008, 2009 and 2010 but you just want to enter one year. Right?
For the column with the current fiscal year you can use a standard variable like GJAHR. For the other columns you define the year in the column as variable with value "GJAHR-1" (last year) and with value "GJAHR+1" (following year). On the selection screen of the planning transaction you will only have one field for the current year and the fiscal year for the other columns is calculated accordingly when you run the planning.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Daniela

How to use Value Variable in Report Painter Column defined as Formula
Hi Gurus,
In report painter, how can I add one field (exchange rate) in selection screen, so that user can provide the exchange rate to be used, then execute the report, the exchange rate will used to multiple local currency amount.
The reason for this is we want use provided exchange rate to convert the amount from once currency to the other currency.
Alternatively I am studying the functionality of "Value Variable" and found that I can perform the task from this. I have created the value variable but when I am using the variable in Report Painter columns as "&ZVALVAR", system is giving me error. I read the help and it states that use the variable with "&" and do it as it is mentioned.
Can anybody suggest what I need to do to make it workable.
ThanksI did try using the presentation variable, but that does not work too. I am setting session variable in the dashboard prompt (select 'request variable'). When I use presentation variable, it hard codes the value of the variable name.
sql is
select date from work_order where facility = @{p_facility}

Hi,
I have a customized variable in report painter which pulls data from standard table, profit centre (GLPCT). The data is included dummy profit centre.
How can block or should not allow dummy profit centre data to flow to the report?
Please advice.Hi,
Easier option is to create a profit center group excluding the dummy profit center and assign it in the report painter instead of the variable.
Other option is at the time of executing the report, exclude the dummy profit center with out making any changes in the report.

Report Painter problem with empty selection variant
Hello,
I use the cost center selection variant for the column definition in Report Painter as characteristic value. This selection variant get only the cost centers which are valid from 1.1.2003 to 31.12.2004. The column of the report created by Report Painter which uses this selection variant display value without taking into account limitations follow from this selection variant. I expect value zero for year fiscal year 2007 in this column, because the cost centers are invalid in 2007 year but the report displays different value. The problem appeared after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
Best Regards
ZDMy problem with Report Painter occurred when I was creating my own report based on 1VK library.
In my example I used in the column definition characteristic Cost
Center, which is determined by selection variant, and Basic Key Figure
equal SWKG-Costs. For system date (18.07.2007) there are no valid
master data for the characteristic Cost Center but when I execute
report for fiscal year 2007 the column display no-zero value without
taking into account value of Characteristic Cost Center. I expected
zero value in this column because there are no postings for Cost
Centers (no valid cost centers were selected) in financial year 2007.
Could you help me with this problem ? -

Creating variables in Report Painter
Hi ...
I would like to know ... how do I create variable ? I know it is via T CODE GS11, but when run tht, in the next screen it pops up for variable ? What variable do I need to enter ? is this predelivered Eg : CE-PK, or can we create one ? Please advise
Also, I would like to I have a requirement for a report whereby the format is like this .....
SALES CURR MONTH (06/2006) LAST YEAR
- Sales IT
- Sales 1
- Sales 2
COGS
- cogs 1
- cogs 2
- cogs 3
COS
- cos 1
- cos 2
- cos 3
GROSS PROFIT
Whereby, SALES = sales it + sales 1 + sales 2, COGS = cogs 1+cogs 2 + cogs 3, COS = cos 1+ cos 2+ cos 3. also GROSS PROFIT = SALES + COGS + COS
The abpve report is inclusive of Cost Centre and Profit Centre, how acn I utilize the libraray in Report Pianter to create such report, is this possible in Report Painter whereby including Cost center and Profit Centre in one single report
Pls assist me
NathanWhen you create your variable first enter the variable name. Second enter the reporting "table" to use. Third enter the "field'. Press enter. Next enter a default value for your field. Save you variable. It is now ready to use in your report painter.
Using the PCA reporting tables gives you the profit center but not the cost center. You can only use one reporting table per report. you will need a cctr report for that.
First create your own libray from GLPCT. Next create your report using your new library. The report painter can do the calculations that you have shown.
You create a formula in the row or column to calculate your sub totals.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks. -

Formula Variables for Report Painter- Syntac error in formula, Please Help!
Dear Experts,
I'm creating the report where I need to calculate annualized P&L. The formula is as follows : (P&L account/Period(variable ))12*
I need to capture the From_period, which is entered by the user on the selection screen when running the report and use it as a variable in the formula above. Example: If User insert From Period 3, then the formula should be *P&L accoun / 3 * 12*
I have tried so many different way but nothing seems to work. one of the ways i tried was:
In the general selection Im using set variable 6P-S-PERIOVB.CCSS for period which consists of variable V_PERIO and B_PERIO.
So Im trying to create a folowing formula:
IF 1 >= u2018PER_FRu2019 AND 1 <= u2018PER_TOu2019 THEN 1 ELSE 16
IF 2 >= u2018PER_FRu2019 AND 2 <= u2018PER_TOu2019 THEN 1 ELSE 16
Unfortunately I keep getting Syntac error in formula. Please help me I'm really desperate to solve this issue after 5 days of unlucky research.
Thank you in advance
Regards
ErnestaThank you all for your help. The issue was that the variable was assigned to the different table as the library. After I changed it, it worked fine.

Ernestaso, I would use parameters.....
P_fr_MO(2) TYPE N DEFAULT '01',
p_fr_yr(4) type n default '2011'.
Then, to set my range, i would do something like....
data: lv_to_mon(2) type n,
lv_to_yr(4) type n.
if p_fr_mo eq '01'.
lv_to_yr = p_fr_yr. "12th month, same year...
else.
lv_to_yr = p_fr_yr + 1. "any other month puts us into next year.
endif.
case p_fr_mo.
when '01'.
lv_to_mon = 12. "always for 12 month period...
when others.
lv_to_mon = p_fo_no - 1. '''example 10/2010 to 09/2011.
endcase.
then concatenate the from and to variables into what format is needed to read the data...
on the other hand, if the user gives us from and to, we have a different problem....one then has to calculate what part of a year they have and create a factor for multiplying any data values....
for instance if user says Jan (01) to (03) March, then I know that to month - from month + 1 is the number of months I have....
then 12 / that number is the factor to multiply the results by....
example...
data : factor(5) type p decimals 2
months(3) type n.
if p_to < p_from. "adjust if I cross a year boundary....Oct to Jan becomes 13 - 10 + 1 or 4 months.
p_to = p_to + 12.
endif.
months = p_to - p_from + 1.
factor = 12 / months. " factor 12 /4 months = 3 times the values obtained = 1 year.
something like this....hope this is helpful to you.

Formula variable in Report painter
Hi
Normally when ever you create a formula varibale for year or period system will
check the period and year from current system year and period(S001 and S002)
I am looking for a solution where i can create variable which is independent of
current year and period.
Lets Say if i give 2006 and period 7(of 2006)system has to give results
in the predefined columns like 2006 of period 7 and 2005 of period 7 and 2004 of period 7 and 2003 of period 7(I have 4 columns)
Can any one tell me how to create this using the formual variable,which will allow
me to select in the input screen any period and year and display the results as per my own requirement.
Thanks

Report Painter - ERP Financials - Question on Value Variable useage
I want to use a value variable that works in Report Writer (table GLPCT, field MSL [quantity] but cannot select MSL as a variable field in Report Painter to insert the same variable (it is not a selectable characteristic) using the same Library and Table.
Is there a way to make the field selectable in Report Painter in order to select a value variable that uses the field MSL ? It is a valid field in the Library that I am building the report in.
In building the columns, I can select characteristic fields such as:
Ledger
Record Type
Version
Fiscal Year
Profit Center
Functional Area
Account number
Period
etc
but not MSL Quantity. Is there configuration to make this (or any field) accessible to Report Painter ?
Any advice is welcome.....
Thanks......Quantity is a key figure. When you create the column values you would get this from the key figure drop list.

Report Painter - Use of Constants / Local Formula Variable
Hi,
I am using constant and/or local formula variable in report painter in FSI.
I could use both the values for calculating percentages, ie. it can be used for multiplication or division. However, when I try to use it for addition or subtraction, I am getting the error message no. KH206.
In all cases, I am using different values in the formula, i.e. a absolute figure and a GL based figure.
I am not able to understand, why it even allows me for calculating percentage.
Can anyone help me in using a absolute figure for input and thereafter use it in addition / subtraction.
I would prefer an immediate solution to this as I am in the final stages of this report.
Full points guaranteed.....Hi Kash,
Thanks for your reply..
Can you elaborate bit further. You mean to say I should create a Constant with some value.
Thereafter how should I bring that in the form. But, How do I enter the Constant in the Formula... There is no key for entering any text in the formula.. there are only ID (the values which we bring in the form and which can be selected for the formula) and numbers which can be entered.
So how do I enter the name of the Constant?
I tried just keying in the name of the Constant, and I could check the formula also, However, while saving the form, I am getting an error,
Element WCaplimit Bis letztem ATag bis &$BISD is not defined correctly -> check definition
Message no. KH206
Diagnosis
In element WCaplimit Bis letztem ATag bis &$BISD the system adds quantities and values or different currencies.
Can you please revert back with step by step solution?
Appreciate your prompt reply.... Thanks -
Report Painter: Error RG102 when executing report
Hi All!
I need help with an error I'm facing with Report Painter...
When executing a report with a large amount of variables and columns I'm receiving the error:
Message no. RG102: Syntax error in GP3NDZHLG3MURI7VJEVF29KI876800, row 0
If in the General Data Selection instead of using a Variable for the Version I use a fix value, it works OK. However, other reports are working properly with the same Gen. Data Selection.
Does anyone has an idea of the cause of this report?
Thanks!Hi All,
I will try to clarify a little bit on my Issue.
First of all, it's not a BW issue, but a Reporting Problem with the Report Painter for the Consolidation (EC-CS).
The row is configured with a Set of Data regarding a Consolidation Item that includes all the P&L Accounts. It is configured to 'Expand'.
Regarding the columns, I have a large number, between 40 and 50 mixing Ratio with Characteristics and Formulas. Within them, I'm using as well variables for Period, Consolidation Unit and so on.
In the Selection Screen I have configured the following paramters
Version - 100
Dimension - T1
Cons chart/acct - C1
Ledger - US
Cons group (Set and Variable) ZSETUNV
Year for CG breakdwn (Variable) ZEJERAM
Period for CG breajdw (Variable) ZPERAM
With all the above-mentioned configurations the report works great. However, if in the Selecion Parameteres I try to replace the Version (Instead of having fix value 100, to have a variable ZVER) in order to deal with several versions in the same report when I save and execute I receive the posted error:
Message no. RG102: Syntax error in GP3NDZHLG3MURI7VJEVF29KI876800, row 0
Does anyone has an idea if there is a Maxium of Variables for Report Painter or any idea which may be the origin of this error?
Thanks again!
