Are reports in GR55 created by an ABAP developer or it's FICO functional

Hi Expert?
GR55 is working for existing company code and not for new company code that I created. There is whole list of accounting reports under GR55. Client has asked me to fix. We have an ABAP developer on site. Is this the responsibility of ABAP?
Kindly advise urgently.
Thanks,
Mariam.

You can use the following three options depending on what is required. You should copy your report into a new test report and practice with it before you actually delete anything in the real report:
1. To show a hidden column in the report definition, from inside GRR2 choose Edit -> Columns -> Hidden columns -> Show. Then you should be able to see all hidden columns
2. To delete a column entirely click on the column and choose Edit -> Elements -> Delete
3. To delete a formula from within a column, double click on the formula column name you can see the formula. Then you can click on the formula line and then hit the delete button on press shift+F2.

    Step-by-step guide for creating ABAP query
    http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ab4query.pdf
    ABAP query is mostly used by functional consultants.
    SAP Query
    Purpose
    The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
    Features
    SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.
    All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.
    To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.
    ABAP Query, as far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.
    To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly

  • What is menu area? can we create a menu exit with tht?

    Hi experts,
    what is menu area? can we create a menu exit with tht? is areamenu(se43n) diff frm menu exit?

    Hi
    Menu Exits
        Menu exits add items to the pull down menus in standard SAP applications. You can use these menu items to call up your own screens or to trigger entire add-on applications.
          SAP creates menu exits by defining special menu items in the Menu Painter. These special entries have function codes that begin with "+" (a plus sign). You specify the menu item’s text when activating the item in an add-on project.
    Menu exits allow you to add your own functionallity to menus. Menu exits are implemented by SAP, and are reserved menu entries in the GUI interface. The developer can add his/her own text and logic for the menu.
    Function codes for menu exits all start with "+"
    Example
    We want to create a new menu item in the Office menu. The text for the menu should be "Run ZTEST", and the menu will
    run report ZTEST.
    Goto transaction SE43 Area Menu Maintenance
    In Area Menu Paramenter type 'S000' (S triple Zero)
    Select Change and ignore all the warning screens
    Expand the office menu. In the buttom of the office tree you will find a menu named "Customer function"
    Double click on the text. In the pop-up screen change the text to "Run ZTEST". Note that the trsnaction code is +C01
    Goto transaction SE93 and create transaction +C01 that calls report ZTEST.
    Now you will se the menu displayed in the office tree. If you delete transaction +C01 again, the new menu will dissapear.
    There are 'only' 177 Menu exits in standard - I couldn't see the right one, too.
    But you could search the implemented exits, this should be only a small number. Go to transaction CMOD, enter * and F4, information system (F5), show all selections (Shift+F7) and then you can restrict to search only menu exits.
    Of course there is the possibility, that these are added in a different way...
    ... at least you can be sure, if it's a normal menu exit.

    Re: doubt on user exits
    user exits and Badis
    User exits is the enhancements provided by SAP
    You can use them in transactions. Each transaction will have user exits.
    If you want to use your own requirements by making your coding while the transaction is run you can use user exits.
    For example if you want to run the MRP in MD02 specific to MRP controller you can user exit.
    Please also refer the document below.
    USEREXIT
    Userxits allow us to add our own functionality to SAP standard program
    without modifying it . These are implemented in the form of subroutines and hence are also known as FORM EXITs. The userexits are generally collected in includes and attached to the standard program by the SAP.
    All Userexits start with the word USEREXIT_...
    FORM USEREXIT_..
    z..
    ENDFORM.
    The problem lies in finding the correct userexit and how to find it if one exists for the purpose. Once the correct userexit is found the necessary customer code is inserted in the customer include starting with the z.. in the form routine.
    e.g. USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE
    Certain application like SD still provide this form of enhancement using userexit but this practice is no longer being followed for newer extensions instead they are using EXITs which come bundeled in enhancement packages . Neverthiless existing USEREXITS will be supported by SAP an all the newer versions of SAP.
    HOW TO FIND USEREXITS
    Userexits can be found in number of ways:
    1) To find userexits in SD module , goto object navigator(SE80) and select
    development class from the list and enter VMOD in it. All of the userexits in SD are contained in the development class VMOD. Press enter and you will find all the includes which contain userexits in SD for different functions like PRICING, ORDER PROCESSING etc. Select the userexit according to the requirement and read the comment inserted in it and start coding .
    Some examples of userexits in SD(SALES & DISTRIBUTION ) are:
    1)ADDING OF NEW FIELDS IN PRICING
    In Pricing in SD the fields on the basis of which pricing is done are derived from the FIELD CATALOG which is a structure KOMG .This structure is used to transfer transaction data to the pricing procedure in SD and is also known as communication structure.This structure KOMG consists of two tables KOMK for Header related fields and KOMP for item related fields. The fields which are not in either of the two tables KOMK and KOMP cannot be used in pricing .Sometimes a need arises when the pricing is to be based on some other criteria which is not present in the form of fields in either of the two tables. This problem can be solved by using USEREXITS which are provided for pricing in SD. Pricing takes place both when the SALES ORDER ( Transaction VA01) is created as well as when INVOICING ( Transaction VF01) is done.Hence SAP provides 2 userexits ,one for sales order processing which is
    USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP or
    USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK
    Depending upon which table (KOMK or KOMP) the new fields were inserted we use either of the above two userexits.These userexits are found in include MV45AFZZ of the standard SAP sales order creation program SAPMV45A.
    In the case of userexit which will be called when invoicing is done ,these
    are provided in the include RY60AFZZ which is in the standard SAP program SAPMV45A. The name of the userexits are same. i.e
    USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP or
    USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK
    These userexits are used for passing the data from the communication structure to the pricing procedure, for this we have to fill the newely created field in the communication structure KOMG for this we fill the code in the above userexit using the MOVE statement after the data that has to be passed is taken from the database table by using the SELECT statement. The actual structure which is visible in these userexits and which is to be filled for that particular field is TKOMP or TKOMK.
    Before the coding for these userexits is done ,it is necessary to create a new field in either of the two tables KOMK or KOMP .For this purpose includes are provided in each of them .
    To create the field in header data(KOMK) the include provided is KOMKAZ
    and to create the field in item data(KOMP) the include provided is KOMPAZ.
    One possible example for the need of creating new fields can be e.g. Frieght to be based upon transportation zone ,for this no field is available in field catalog and hence it can be created in KOMK and then above userexits can be used to fill the transportation data to it.
    2)The other method of finding userexit is to find the word USEREXIT in the
    associated program of the transaction for which we want to determine userexit using SE38.
    3)The other method of finding userexits is to find the include in case of SD/MM applications where the userexits are located ,this can be found in the SAP reference IMG generally in the subfolder under SYSTEM MODIFICATION.
    Some other examples of userexits in SD are:
    USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE
    This userexit is used to assign a different internal document number to the
    sales order(VA01) when it is created depending on some criteria like a different SALES ORGANIZAION(VKORG) .
    USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE
    This userexit is used to insert the ABAP code which will be called when
    the document (sales order VA01) is just about to be saved.This userexit is used generally for custom checks on different fields , to display some information before the order will be saved or for making changes to certain fields before the sales order will be saved.
    Exits & Enhancements
    There are mainly six types of EXITs in sap which have been collected in the form of enhancement packages and attached to standard code in SAP.
    These are different from USEREXIT in the way that they are implemented
    in the form of FUNCTIONs while in USEREXITS we use form routines for their implementation. These are also sometimes known as function exits .
    These start from the word EXIT_ followed by the program name and then followed by a three digit number.
    e.g. EXIT_SAPMV45A_002
    This exit is found in SD in enhancement V45A0002.
    TYPES OF EXITS
    1)MENU EXITS
    2)FUNCTION EXITS
    3)TABLE EXITS
    4)SCREEN EXITS
    5)KEYWORD EXITS
    6)FIELD EXITS
    We use SAP transactions CMOD and SMOD to manage exits. Before implementing an exit , it is required to create the project by using CMOD
    selecting the enhancement e.g. V45A0002 and selecting the component
    (one which fulfills our need) i.e the exit which will be implemented in SMOD and after coding has been done the project has to be activated.
    An exit can be coded only once.
    FUNCTION EXITS
    These are used to add functionality through ABAP code . These start from the word EXIT_programname_NNN ending in a 3 digit number. No access code is required to implement any tupe of exit including function exits.
    The function exits are called from the standard SAP program in the form
    of ABAP statement
    CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION 'NNN'
    This is in contrast to USEREXITs where PERFORM statement is used to call
    the required userexit.
    To implement the FUNCTION EXITs first of all the project is created and a suitable enhancement package is selected and from its compnents the function exit to be implemented is selected and on double clicking it the exit code will appear in ABAP EDITOR(se38) where a Z include will be found and the customer code should be entered in this include.
    e.g.
    ADDING A DEFAULT SOLD-TO-PARTY in Sales Order Creation
    To show a default sold-to-party in this field when the user creates a sales order (VA01) we can use a function exit .This function exit is located in enhancement no V45A0002 . Before we can choose the exit we have to create a project in CMOD after that enter V45A0002 in the enhancement field and click on the components . In the components you will see the exit EXIT_SAPMV45A_002 . This exit is used for our purpose.
    Double clicking on this exit will takes us to function builder (SE37) . This
    function exit has one exporting parameters and two importing parameters, we are interested in exporting parameter which is E_KUNNR of type KNA1-KUNNR i.e if we move the desired customer name to this structure(E_KUNNR) it will be shown in the field as the default value when we create the sales order. This function also contains a customer include ZXVVA04 . This include will be used to write our custom code .
    Double clicking on this include and it will prompt us that this include does not exists do you want to create this object ,select yes and the include will be created .In this include we can write our own code that will fill the field E_KUNNR.
    e.g. E_KUNNR = 301.
    Activate the include and Activate the project. Now when ever the SALES ORDER will be created , sold-to-party field will come up with a predefined customer .
    FIELD EXITS
    The field exits are managed,created,activated through program RSMODPRF. The field exit is associated with a data element existing in ABAP dictionary and hence to the screen field using that data element.
    The format of field exit is :
    FIELD_EXIT_dataelement_A-Z or 0-9
    If a particular screen and program name is not specified than the field exit will effect all the screens containing that data element.
    The function module associated with field exit shows two parameters
    INPUT and OUTPUT. Input parameter contains the data passed to the field exit when the field exit was invoked by the R/3 , We can write our own code to change the output parameter depending upon our requirements.
    Before the field exit can have any effect the system profile parameter
    ABAP/FIELDEXIT in all the application servers should be set to YES
    ABAP/FIELDEXIT = YES.

  • No Functional Area Found Error while creating service data in me22n

    Hello,
    While creating service data for a purchase order in ME22n I am getting error like " No functional area found"  .
    Please tell me how to maintain the Functional area for a particular GL account
    In the help i can found that we can find the functional area "The functional area can be determined either using the cost element, the account assignment object (such as the cost center or order)"
    How we can determine this please through some light on this statement.
    Thanks

    Hello Madhav,
    You have to maintain your 'business transaction profile' (SPRO->CRM->IC Web->Business Transaction->Define bus. trans. prof.) in the customizing and assign that profile to your IC WebClient profile (the one you assigned in the org. model)
    In the business transaction profile you must make sure that at least one transaction type (e.g. ZSRV) is assigned as 'Dependent business transaction' and that entry is flagged as 'Service'.
    Also make sure that that transaction type (ZSRV) has leading business transaction category 'Service process' (BUS2000116).
    This should solve your problem!
    Kind regards,

  • How to create button in ABAP

    Plz tell me the syntax

    Go through this
    SELECTION-SCREEN - PUSHBUTTON
    Syntax
    SELECTION-SCREEN PUSHBUTTON [/][pos](len) button_text
                                USER-COMMAND fcode
                                [VISIBLE LENGTH vlen]
                                [MODIF ID modid]
                                [ldb_additions].
    Extras:
    1. ... [/][pos](len)
    2. ... USER-COMMAND fcode
    3. ... VISIBLE LENGTH vlen
    4. ... MODIF ID modid
    Effect
    This statement creates a pushbutton on the current selection screen. The text on the pushbutton is determined by the content of button_text. The rules that apply to text also apply to button_text when creating an output field.
    The additions ldb_additions can only be used in the selection include for a logical database.
    Notes
    You can use the function module ICON_CREATE to assign an icon, a quick info text and a corresponding text to a pushbutton. When you do this, you must specify an adequate length len for the pushbutton so that the icon can be displayed internally and adjust the visible length with VISIBLE LENGTH.
    Once the event block in AT SELECTION-SCREEN has been processed, the system usually returns to displaying the selection screen. To exit selection screen processing and continue executing the program, you can only choose Execute or Cancel. This means pushbuttons on selection screens are intended primarily for use for dynamic modifications to the selection screen rather than to control the program.
    Addition 1
    ... [/][pos](len)
    Effect
    You must specify the position of the output field using [/][pos](len). The syntax and meaning of [/][pos](len) are the same as when creating horizontal lines, although in this case, len defines the length of the pushbutton on the selection screen. If a pushbutton extends beyond position 83 or beyond the edge of a block with a frame, it is cut off at the right hand side.
    Addition 2
    ... USER-COMMAND fcode
    Effect
    If you specify the USER-COMMAND addition, the pushbutton must be assigned a function code fcode. The function code fcode must be specified directly and can only contain a maximum of 20 characters.
    Before you can work with the pushbutton, you must specify a TABLES statement to declare an interface work area for the structure SSCRFIELDS from the ABAP Dictionary.
    If the user selects the pushbutton on the selection screen, the runtime environment triggers the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN and the function code fcode is transferred to the ucomm component in the interface work area sscrfields.
    Note
    If the function code of a pushbutton corresponds to a function code used in the GUI status of the selection screen, the selection screen processing is influenced accordingly.
    Addition 3
    ... VISIBLE LENGTH vlen
    Effect
    The VISIBLE LENGTH addition defines the visible length vlen of the pushbutton and your text. The syntax and meaning of this addition are the same as when creating output fields, although a pushbutton is never displayed as shorter than the text defined for it.
    Addition 4
    ... MODIF ID modid
    Effect
    The MODIF ID addition assigns the pushbutton to the modification group modid that is assigned to the column group1 on the system table screen. This means it can be modified using a MODIFY SCREEN statement before the selection screen is displayed.
    Example
    Define and access a stand-alone selection screen 500 with two pushbuttons in an executable program. An icon and a quick info text are created for the second pushbutton.
    TABLES sscrfields.
    TYPE-POOLS icon.
    SELECTION-SCREEN:
      BEGIN OF SCREEN 500 AS WINDOW TITLE title,
        PUSHBUTTON 2(10)  but1 USER-COMMAND cli1,
        PUSHBUTTON 12(30) but2 USER-COMMAND cli2
                               VISIBLE LENGTH 10,
      END OF SCREEN 500.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
      CASE sscrfields.
        WHEN 'CLI1'.
        WHEN 'CLI2'.
      ENDCASE.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      title  = 'Push button'.
      but1 = 'Button 1'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
        EXPORTING
          name   = icon_information
          text   = 'Button 2'
          info   = 'My Quickinfo'
        IMPORTING
          RESULT = but2
        EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS = 0.
      CALL SELECTION-SCREEN '0500' STARTING AT 10 10.

  • Sales statistics by sales area report

    Hi all,
    I am trying to understand logic used to develop sales statistics by sales area report developed by some abaper.here to calulate order margin i am using order value and order cost.the problem is with order cost calculation as it's value is coming negative.
    order margin = order value - order cost.can anyone suggest how these three values are calculated in the developing the report.
    Regards,
    Harshada

    Well margin is something which is used quite often.
    So first i would ask my consultant if they maybe are already storing the margin in some KZWI1, KZWI2, ... , KZWI6 field of VBAP.
    If thats not the case, your consultants hopefully should be able to tell you how to calculate the margin.

  • PCA Functional Area Report Problem With Co-Product Settlements

    I have built a profit center functional area report for use in a manufacturing client.  The reason is because the factory cost centers flow to the product cost (via costing sheets) and the administrative cost centers are expensed monthly.  However, SAP seems to have no other approach to handle the issue where common expense elements must be reported in these two separate sections.  Anyway, here is my problem:
    After creating the functional areas and matching them to each cost center appropriately and then applying a different functional area to orders, I see that settlement of co-products causes my report to zero out the functional area that should match the overhead cost centers.  These obviously should not be impacted by settlement and I see that they are not impacted in the transactional data.  However, the functional area report shows a different story.  I believe it somehow has to do with the unusual way that co-product split up and settle versus other types of orders.  I may need some sort of subtitution rule, but like I said, the raw transactional data looks correct and the report should bring in these values. 
    I used ledger 8A if that helps.  I am sure I missed some small thing somewhere.
    David

    It looks to me like the New G/L may have taken care of some of my issue.  The FI reconciliation G/L account (690000 usually) includes the secondary cost center postings as well as the secondary order postings.  The cost center side of the secondary transaction reflects the functional area for cost centers (Factory Exp or Admin Exp in my case), whereas the order side of the secondary posting shows the functional area associated with order consumption (Net Consumption in our case). 
    This appears to mean that the standard report for Functional Areas from FI should work to break up the income statement for manufacturing purposes.  This report is S_PLO_86000029.  That report looks to me like it will replace my need for a PCA based Functional Area Report.

  • Call KSB1 from report in GR55 selects thousend of records

    Dear All,
    after our upgrade to ECC6.0 the drilldown from an report in GR55 (calls T-Code KSB1) will select thousends of records.
    I snoop a bit around and I figure out, that the selection criteria for the call of the FM k_line_items_select_and_list are different.
    Can anyone tell me how I can manage the selection crtierias for a drilldown in a report painter report?
    Thanks in advance, Thomas

    Hi Thomas,
    you should also check include CI_COBL.
    also please notice if you are drillingdown from a formula column the logic
    from note 98187 applies, and you could get results different than what you expect

    Can anybody tell me what are the differences between inactive and active ABAP objects?
    In my opinion,  an active object is compiled and system wide available, that means the system do not have to compile the program again before run or use the object. While An inactive object is not system wide available and every time you run an inactive object, firstly the abap runtime will have to  generate a tempory runtime object and this inactive object can not seen by others.
    Am I right? Can anybody kindly tell me other differences?

    Hi,
    "When it is inactive, it is like it would not exist at all:" no - it's like it only exists to you
    "If we just saved that one means it is stored in application server not in database": no - the inactive version is also stored in the database. You can log off and log on and it will still be there, in its inactive status.
    "Only active objects can be executed.": no - inactive objects can be executed by you
    When you create or modify a program, it is inactive until you activate it.
    With a change, there are two versions of the program stored in the database - the active version (as it was before you made your change), and the inactive version. If you attempt to run the program, you'll run the inactive version - the one with your changes. Everyone else on the system will run the active version.
    In this way, you can make changes without affecting anyone else.
    Once you activate your program, then the inactive version becomes the active version.
    With a create, there is no active version, until you hit the activate button. This means ONLY you can run the program.
    An additional benefit of this model, is that if you make a change, save it, and then change your mind without activating, you can recover the active version into the editor, using version management.
    A downside is that sometimes you have to activate your change before you can test it, if it interacts with other, active, programs.

    - Reporting of depreciation as per different laws i.e in india, we need to report depn as per Ind accounting standards, as per income tax act, etc
