Report Painter/Writer Ctr & WBS costs

I think I've tried every possible variation to bring the appropriate CTR/WBS costs. Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. See in one reprt both the CTR planned costs and the WBS planned costs where the cost center is assigned to the WBS as a responsible CTR.
2. Added the characteristic "Import CTR Data" into either a row or general data selection as well as adding object types WBS, ACT, PRJ, and CTR.
3. I can get the WBS to display as a line item with the planned costs, but when I do it changes the credit balance on the CTR to a positive value. This is after I run plan reconciliation for the CTR, and I have integrated planning turned on.
Example:
Postings:
WBS Labor CE: $100
CTR Labor CE: -$300
Report:
Total CTR LAbor balalnce $100
WBS displayed with $100.
When I remove the WBS and Import CTR Data i get the $-300 balance on the CTR. So I'm guessing it's not possible to bring these two objects into the same report to show the CTR over/inder absorption with WBS visibility.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Jim

Cost center...that's the abbrev. used in report painter. As an update the problem seems to stem from the fact that I've added the WBS charateristic to the line and exploded it. when I do this I lose the credits to the cost center. Any idea?

  • Report painter/writer for actual cost component split

    Hello Gurus,
    Any of you guys ever explored possibility of creating a report using report painter or writer that can give both Standard and Actual cost component splits in one report? Is it even possible without custom ABAP involvement?
    Thanks
    RG

    Hi Raghu,
    After your reply, I am getting a doubt..
    Have you Activated Material Ledger? When you say Actual Cost Component Split, are you talking about it what you get in Actual Costing/Material Ledger?
    If yes, then you can map your cost compnents for Actual Costing in the path SPROControllingProfitability AnalysisMaster Data Valuation--Setup Valuation using Material Cost Estimate -- Define Access to Actual Costing / Material Ledger
    Further, there are no standard reports available in COPA. Try to build a report comprising two columns, 1st column with the value fields which are mapped for Standard Cost Components and 2nd column with the Value Fields which you have assined for Actual Costing under the above path.
    You will be able to get the comparison...
    Pls don't hesitate to call me for further assistance....

    Help me out in this senario. how to proceed ?
    Thanks in advance to all, Waiting for your Fast replies.

    hi sateesh,
    Where Is Report Painter/Report Writer Used?
    Initially, both tools were only available to the FI/CO modules. Later, with the introduction of the Logistics Information System and Flexible Analyses in Release 3.x, the functionality of these tools was further expanded. It still is not widely known that the Report Painter/Writer can be used for reporting against structures other than those delivered in FI and CO (see TechTalk on page 8-4).
    A common misconception in the user community is that Report Painter/Report Writer can only be used to report against a single table. However, some reporting structures do report against multiple tables. For example, CCSS (for Cost Center Accounting) refers to tables COSP, COSS and more, depending on the key figure configuration. Similarly, FI-SL (Special Purpose Ledger) reporting structures include summary and line-item tables (the key figure set determines where the data comes from).
    To configure other table joins, views may be created joining the necessary tables, and views can be added to the control tables, via Flexible Analyses in LIS. Report Painter/Report Writer can be used in almost any application area in R/3 to report on currencies and quantities.
    Data tables supported
    Both Report Painter and Report Writer can be used to report on the following tables and tables types:
    <        Evaluation structures set up in the Logistics Information System (LIS). These structures normally begin with an “S” or “ZF.” Several different tables and views within the R/3 System can be added as evaluation structures.
            Note: You cannot add cluster tables, such as BSEG.
    <        CCSS is used for Cost Center Accounting (CO-CCA), Internal Orders (CO-OPA), Activity Based Costing (CO-ABC) and for cost element reports in Project Systems (PS).
    <        GLFUNCT is used for functional area reporting in cost-of-sales accounting.
    <        GLPCT and GLPCOP are used for Profit Center Accounting (CO-PCA/EC-PCA).
    <        FILC is used for Legal Consolidations (FI-LC).
    <        COFIT is used for the Controlling Reconciliation Ledger (CO-CEL).
    <        ZZ tables are created for the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL).
    <        FIMC is used for consolidations in the Enterprise Controlling module (EC-LC).
    <        GLT0 is used for Financial Accounting (General Ledger) reports by account, company, and business area (FI-GL).
    <        KKBC, KKBE, and KKBU are used for the Controlling Product Costing module (CO-Costing).
    <        New in Release 4.0A: RWCOOM is used for CO-CCA, CO-OPA, and CO-ABC. RWCOOM is used for special standard reports like internal order budget reports, cost center budget reports and cost component reports.
    Note: RPPS was used for Project Systems (PS). However, it is obsolete and will no longer be supported in Release 4.0. In Release 3.x there were only two special reports (6P70 and 6P71) using RPPS. These reports cannot be called directly, but via ABAP reports RKOPLAN0 and RKOPLAN1.
    How to Access Report Painter/Report Writer?
    To access the Report Painter you may use either of the following two methods:
    <        Transaction FGRP
    <        From the SAP main menu, choose Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter.
    Report Writer functions can be accessed from within the Report Painter. To access Report Writer, choose the following menu path from the SAP main menu:
    Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter® Report Writer.
    How Is Report Painter/Report Writer Organized?
    Report Painter/Report Writer has four main components:
    <        Sets: Sets are logical groupings of characteristic values. For example, a cash line on a balance sheet is made up of a set of cash accounts or an energy product line on an inventory report is made up of a set of energy products. Variables can also be created which are placeholders for sets, or values within sets.
    <        Libraries: Libraries control which characteristics and key figures from a table are available for reporting.
    <        Reports: Reports hold a definition of the rows, columns, and overall data selection. They also include the header and footer texts and layout settings.
    <        Report Groups: Report groups can contain one or more reports. The report group is what you execute—not the actual report. A report group is generated to create a set of ABAP programs that produce the reports.
    How Does Report Painter Differ from Other Reporting Tools?
    <        With the exception of row titles which have text fields, Report Painter/Report Writer reports display numerical fields only (for example, dollar and quantity fields). This is not a requirement for ABAP Query and typical line item reporting tools, which can display arbitrary text columns.
    <        While printed Report Painter/Report Writer reports appear much the same way on paper as they do on screen, the Drilldown reporting tool produces a different output format. Drilldown reporting is an online analytical tool which can be used to drill down to different levels of detail, but it is infrequently used for printing.
    <        Report Painter/Report Writer reports are hierarchical and take advantage of configured hierarchies (for example, with cost center hierarchies). You can also execute Report Painter/Report Writer reports from each level within a hierarchy.
    <        Report Painter/Report Writer reports can handle multiple currency/quantity units within a single column.
    <        Report Painter/Report Writer is well suited to handle reports that require mass production. For example, Report Painter/Report Writer is a particularly effective tool for creating month-end reports.

  • Report Painter / Writer - Horizontal Line

    Hi
    Can anybody please let me know how to get a horizontal line after a particular row in a report painter/writer report.
    this is very urgent!!
    helpful answers will be rewarded!!
    raghav

    Hi there.  This is from SAP help:
    On the Create Report: Rows screen, move the cursor to the row set for which you want to enter characteristic information and choose Edit --> Choose.
    The Row Characteristic dialog box appears. You can switch between characteristics using the Prev. characteristic and Next characteristic buttons.
    Enter data in the Totals display group box as required:
    The Totals display fields allow you to enter a number range of levels and then:
    - Underscore or overscore with single or double lines or format characters at these levels.
    - Insert additional blank lines between levels.
    - Highlight lines between levels.
    - Define colors for lines.
    Set the Lower border indicators depending on how you want the lower border for the row characteristic totals to appear. You can define the lower border so that no lower border appears, a single line appears, a double line appears, or a user-defined character is used for the border.
    Set the Upper border indicators depending on how you want the upper border for the row characteristic totals to appear. You can define the upper border so that no upper border appears, a single line appears, a double line appears, or a user-defined character is used for the border.
    I hope this helps.

  • Report painter/Writer

    Hi Gurus,
    Iam working on report painter/Writer report .Iam developing a new report  in GRR1 with Gl account groups are as rows and Business areas are columns .We have 7 business areas as columns.But my client requirement is that ,they need an extra column for  one Blank business area(8 th one).So the accounts which are posted with no business area should come under this column(bucket). So how can i create a blank business area to track these no business area transactions.
    Any help is appreciated.......

    Hi Thanks for your response.But in the columns we are using charecterstics for business areas. Like first column -Charecterstic -business area 1000.Second column -Charecterstic -business area 2000.........But Blank business area what charecterstic i need to use and how the values (No buisiness area assigned transactions)come in to that column?????

  • Error GR493 report painter/writer with special ledger

    Hi ,
    I am trying to create a report painter using a table of a special ledger. The table is the one for 'real item'. The following error appears:
    'Table ZIFRSA is not installed in Report Writer.
    Message no. GR493
    Diagnosis
    The Report Writer can only report on tables if the attributes of these tables that are relevant for reporting are defined in control tables. This is not the case for table ZIFRSA.'
    We are not using intercompany transaction. My question is if it possible to make report in report painter/writer with this table.
    I can make report with the total table of special ledger, but not with the one for real item.
    Thanks,
    Cecilia.

    Hi Cecilia,
    I guess the tables created through SPL should look as follows:
    1. ZIFRST - Totals Table
    2. ZIFRSA  - Actual Line Item Table ( I guess this is what you are calling real item)
    3. ZIFRSP  - Plan Line Items Table
    Bear in mind that, the report is not created off table ZIFRSA but rather ZIFRST.  Please create the report writer or report painter using table ZIFRST.
    If the above suggestion did not work,  then check the solution provided in OSS note 3761.

  • Mass Change of Sets for Report Painter/Writer Reports

    Hi,
    We have upgraded our system from 4.6c to ECC 6.0. We are using more
    than 40 Report Painter/Writer reports which in turn are using Sets.
    However, these sets are containing reference to a Table which we want
    to change for all the set enmasse. e.g. If currently the sets are using
    Table Reference "ABC", we want to change it to "XYZ" because the
    table "ABC" is not at all existing in our new system ECC 6.0.
    Even we are unable to change the sets through T.Code GS02 as the table
    itself is not existing. And as the table is not existing, the Reports
    are giving hard errors saying that the sets do not exist.
    Kindly request you to guide us in this regard.
    Thanks in advance,
    Shalin Shah

    Looks like you have to create new sets and assign them in the report replacing the old ones.
