Report Painter - New Characteristics in General Selection

Hi,
I'm trying to modify a custom FI report (that uses CCSS reporting table) by adding additional characteristic fields into its general data selection.
So far i've added these ZZ fields into CCR1S, and activated characteristics in library.
I can see (by debugging SAP standard) that fields being populated from table COSP. As those fields are not in table COSP but are from AUFK, what are the following steps to take for correctly populating these and being able to use as general selection criteria? (GRCT Maintanence?how¿)
Any help/suggestion greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Regards.

have you created a new calculation routine in form pool SAPFGRWG equivalent to E06_CALC_CURR_CONV_HSL? doesnt this explicitly get the company code currencies

Report Painter - new Basic Key Figure for Currency Translation

Hi,
I need a report painter report which allows to translate the company code currency HSL in GLPCT into several target currencies. Theoretically I need to translate each month with an own translation rate and possible different translation keys.
In table T804B I tried to create a new basic key figure for GLPCT in order to translate the HSL amount with a second TCURR rate. I copied the original basic key figure GLPCT - CC_HSL. I selected structure GLBDZ and fields CCH++ as data source and assigned new variables for the TCURR selection.
The report painter report is setup with three columns : one in HSL, one with CC_HSL and one with the new key figure. In the selection screen of the report painter report I can enter two rates. But after execution the translation of the new basic key figures is done with the same rate as the CC_HSL column is using.
Did anybody encounter an equal problem?
Many thanks and regards
Markus

Report Painter - New Columns Don't Show Up

Hello All,
We have a report painter report that was copied from an existing report in transaction CJE5 (for modifying the form) and then assigned in CJE1 (to a report). The copied report was functioning properly with an existing tcode assignment. Now, I am trying to add new columns to the same form and I was able to add and save everything to the form without errors. However, when I execute the report, these new columns don't appear on the report. Can anyone suggest why?
One thing I notice was that when I went to the "Report Parameters", the list of "Columns" does not include the columns that I added. I cannot figure out how to add them to the list so that they would start appearing on the report output.

Hello Suresh, Thanks for the suggestion, but report painter is a functional area and the ABAPer should not be required to insert a new column and make it appear on the report. Any more suggestions, please?

Create new report in report painter

Hi
Can any body let me know the steps for creating new report in report painter.
Thanks in advance
Prasad

Hi Hari,
Please find below mentioned and overview on report painter and its usage.
The Report Painter is similar to the Report Writer, but is simpler to use. Most of the functions in the Report Writer are also available in the Report Painter. The Report Painter is based on the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) principle.
Report Painter Structure:
Characteristics must be defined in your report, either as data selection criteria, report rows, or report columns. To improve processing time, you should specify all characteristics in general data selection that are not needed in the report rows or columns.
The process flow used for creating reports using report painter can be summarised as following.
Create set->Select library->Define report->Check report->Assign report to report group->Generate report->Execute report
Hope i had been of help to you, please reward points.

How to select WBS element of Level2 on Report Painter

Dear PS Masters.
I made project which has 3 levels.
I want to see the result of only level 2
on the report of report painter.
However, when I select WBS element of level 2,
the report shows level2 and level3 together.
So, I want to exclude the result of level3 from the report.
In order to solve it,
I tried to uncheck the checkbox of "INCL.HIERARCHY" on Database Profile.
But, even though I uncheck it on IMG, SAP check the checkbox automatically again.
Pls give your advice.

Hello Chinasammy,
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the process for creating reports using Report Painter as a tool.
Selecting and maintaining a library for your report: As the transfer structure to Report Painter you use a report table, which is defaulted by SAP and can not be maintained. This table contains characteristics, key figures and predefined columns. In a library, you collect the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns from the report table, which you need for your Report Painter reports.
When you define a Report Painter report, you assign it to a library. Reports assigned to one library can only use the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for that library.
When you create or maintain a library, the Position field determines the sequence in which the characteristics, key figures or (predefined) key figures appear in the Report Painter selection lists when you define a report. This allows you to position the objects that you use regularly in your reports at the beginning of the selection lists. If you do not make an entry in the Position field, you will not be able to use this object in Report Painter reports.
You can use either the standard SAP libraries for your reports or define your own.
(ii) Selecting or maintaining a standard layout for your report: Standard layouts determine report layout features and the format of your report data.If the SAP standard layouts do not meet your reporting requirements, you can create a new standard layout or change an existing one.
(iii) Defining row and column models: A model is a one-dimensional, predefined reporting structure that you can insert in either the rows or columns of your report.If you often use the same or similar row or column definitions in your reports, it is recommended that you create row or column models.
You must define the row and/or column models that you want to include in your report definition before you define the report.
You can also use the standard column models supplied by SAP.
(iv) Defining the report: Defining a Report Painter report involves the following steps.
(a) Define the report columns: You define the report columns using the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for the library that the report uses. Alternatively, you can use a column model for column definition. Column models are predefined column structures which you insert into your entire column definition, instead of defining each individual column.
(b) Define the report rows: You define the report rows using the characteristics selected for the library selected for the report.
Alternatively, you can use a row model for your row definition. Row models serve the same purpose as column models, but are used to define a report row.
Edit and format the report rows and columns in line with your requirements. (For example, you can hide rows or columns, define the column width or define colors for your report rows).
(iii)Define general data selection criteria for the selection of your report data: Selection criteria are the characteristics used to select data for the entire report. You cannot enter characteristics as data selection criteria if they are already being used in the report rows or columns.
(iv) Assigning the report to a report group: Once you have defined a report, you must assign it to a report group. A report group can contain one or more reports from the same library. However, reports that share the same data will select data more quickly and improve processing time.
Hopw this helps you. Please let me know if you need anything more and assign points.

Can you define constants in Report Painter?

Hi, I'm new to Report Painter and SAP in general. I was just wondering if it's possible to define constants that are visible across reports. e.g. In the header text for all our reports, we want our company name to be displayed. But instead of hardcoding it, we want to retrieve it from a constant or variable.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the response but this isn't exactly what I was looking for. From my understanding, the "Sel. Parameters" button allows you to access and display values that were entered by the user in the selection screen of the report (correct me if I'm wrong). What I'm aiming for is something like a global variable defined on the backend that all reports can access.
I've looked at the other buttons that you pointed out, but it seems like I'm only able to use some pre-defined tables and fields. Does this mean that there isn't any way for me to define and use my own customized variables for reports?
Thanks,
Carlo

Profit center group number on the report painter report.

Hi,
We have a client requirement where we have to develop Profit center by Functional Area report by using report painter report functionality, however we are able to bring profit center group description on to the report as per the requirement, but not able to get profit center group number displayed on the report.
Can anyone please advice me if we can get the Profit center group number displayed on the report in Report painter report. Else let me know if we can get the requirement met by an ABAPER.

Hi.
First of all, through transaction GS01 create a set ID for profit centers.
Give table GLPCT, let the set type be the default (basic set) and give field name RPRCTR. Then define the range of profit centers you want. If you want all the profit centers give * in the "from value field".
Then create a variable through transaction GS11. Give table and field as above, choose variable type set and at the default set field choose the set you created.
Finally, at report painter go to Edit/General Data Selection and select profit center.
Check both flags (for entering sets and variables) and give at the form field the variable you've made.
Now the progit center group will be available in the selection screen with default value the set you've made.

Displaying Cumulative Balances in BA Balance Sheet Report Painter Reports

Dear SAP Gurus,
The system has Business Area Balance Sheet reports created in Report Painter. But in General Data Selection when I select period as a full fiscal year then the cumulative balances are shown. But if I wish to see the reports for a period or a quarter the opening balances for that period are not shown. And only the figures pertaining to that period are shown. Can someone tell me why this is happening like this? I wish to see the cumulative balances even for these periods. Please help me.

Hi
You can achieve through SELECTIONS. do like this suppose you have the line item called Inventory(this inventory will capture the data from two or three GL accounts say ex: 123,456,789).you can create the selection with the name inventory and use these GLaccounts in that.when you see the report it will show
Invantory            $1000
Share Capital     $2000
Deposits            $3000
when drill down it will shoe GL account wise also.
Regards,
chandra.
