Authorization by Funds Center - Report Painter Review

I am providing authorization for report painter review. There is the requirement to limit Funds Center for each user to review.
I input Authorization Group in the Funds Center Master Data (FMSA). The Authorization Group coding is same as Funds Center Coding. Then I create authroization role for report painter reivew.
The authorization object "F_FMBU_ACC" has "FM: Funds CenterAuthorization (FM_AUTHGRC)" to scope. I tried input the mentioned coding in this authotization object but the report painter still show the other funds center when execute.
FYI: I created the authorization role and input the role to the new user id to test this authorization setup.
How could I scope Funds Center for the authorization role?

Hi Ton,
First of all you have to check if you have not activated "Check Old Activities" in the customizing. Please check the following menu path in your IMG:
PSM -> Funds Management Government -> Basic Setting -> Authorization
check -> Activate Old authorization check.
If you activate the old authorization objects, the following objects are used for the authorization check:
F_FICB_FPS Cash budget management/Funds Management commitment item
F_FICA_FTR Funds Management FM account assignment
F_FICA_CTR Funds Management funds center
F_FICA_WCT Funds Management funds center internal
F_FICA_CCT Funds Management cross-funds center
F_FICA_FCD Funds Management fund
These objects were referred to for the authorization check in Funds Management (FI-FM) up until release 46C.
Regarding the way that you have used authorization group field, I believe you should consider the following:
1) Use of Authorization Groups for Funds Center and/or Commitment Item.
==========================================================
In case of Funds Center, within transaction code FMSC (fund center master data) is available the field 'Authorization Group', the same used in the authorization rules.
It is not the 'fund center' field itself, is the group that you are grouping the fund centers only for authorization purpose.
If in the table FMFCTR for your FM Area you have the same content for all records to this field, this means that all your funds center will be part of the SAME authorization group.
So, you should consider within your company to divide the authorization groups according your needs and adjust your roles in transaction PFCG accordingly.
You should either specify a list of authorized funds center in the role, or assign a specific authority group to the funds center for which you do not want to allow posting.
2) Authorization objects
====================
The authorization object related to the funds center master data is the following:
- F_FICA_FSG Funds Management: authorization group for the funds center
In fact, in BCS you have to use also the authorization object 'F_FMBU_ACC'.
There is a short documentation in SU03 for this authorization object.
Assigning only the authorization object F_FICA_FSG could be not enough sometimes.
Use transaction SU53, SU56, SU01 and SU24 to trace authorizations.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

Adding authorization objects to Report Painter reports

Hello Everyone,
Is there way to add authorization objects to report painter reports ? I know it is possible to add auth group at the header level but I need to limit access at run time to specific objects, say for example, Cost Center. Is this possible ?
I have seen the Get_Reporter.pdf document and it seems to discusses adding auth group but not auth objects.
Thanks in advance.
Dorothy

Report Painter: FAGLFLEXT, profit-center authorization not checked

Hi colleagues,
I am using a Z*-library in report painter based on FAGLFLEXT.
When a report beads on this library is executed, there is no authorization check for profit-center (profit-center groups,…). Wether auth. Object K_PCA is checked nor an entry in RESPAREA.
When I execute a report from FGI3 transaction (also based on FAGLFLEXT) I can see that RESPAREA is checked with PCxxxxyyyy (xxxx = comp. code, yyyy is profit-center).
I thought that, based on the information in the IMG node “activate authorization check for profit centers” which appears if FIN_GL_CI_1 is active, that PC authorization check for reporting is ALWAYS working and I guess, in the mentioned system the authorization check was working before the last support package upgrade.
The important text from the SAP IMG node “activate authorization check for profit centers”: “The profit center display authorization for reporting is not affected by this setting. The system always checks this authorization, be it in drilldown reporting or the Report Painter / Report Writer reports.”
The system is ECC60 on SAPKH60023, so FIN_GL_CI_1 is not available, but I believe, the auth. check for profit-center in report painter reports should work fine without this.
Does anybody know if in ECC60 with a report painter library using FAGLFLEXT the profit-center authorization is checked, which auth. object is checked,...?
Best regards, Christian

Hi,
Please check if the below note helps.

Display No hierarchy for Funds Center in a report painter

Dear Gurus
I would like know how can I display a NO HIERARCHY although I already choose a '0SAP' Hierarchy as a characteristic in a report painter.

Only appear a message u201CHierachy u20180SAPu2019 chosen for characteristic u2018Funds centeru2019u201D.
Could anybody give me any tip in order I could display an option NO HIERACHY?

Authorization object for FM e.g fund center group/fund center auth group

Hi,
I have a requirement to control the number of fund centers which can be viewed from PSM-FM Budget reports.
Currently, I have included authorization groups into the FM Master data.
However, I am looking to control it at org level instead of at the object level.
Is it possible to control fund center grouping at org level?
regards
Damon

Hi Damon,
I am not sure if I understood you correctly but your authorization group field (from the master data transaction) should reflect exactly what you want, therefore you should build it according the organization level that you requires.
The field 'Authorization Group', is the same used in the authorization rules. It is not the 'fund center' field itself, is the group that you are grouping the fund centers only for authorization purpose.
If in the table FMFCTR for your FM Area you have the same content for all records to this field, this means that all your funds center will be part of the SAME authorization group.
So, you should consider within your company to divide the authorization groups according your needs and adjust your roles in transaction PFCG accordingly.
I hope this helps you.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

Report painter, Internal orders and profit center accounting

hi,
I want to do a report using data from internals orders (AUFNR) and profit center accounting (PRCTR).
I can make individual reports for internals orders (6O1, CCSS) and for profit center accounting (8a2, GPLCA) but I can't combinate data from internals orders and profit center accounting.
Is it possible make a report using report painter that show data of internals orders and profit center accounting.
All my internals orders have a profit center accounting.
Thanks in avanced

Report Painter - How to identity statistical orders in a Cost Center Report

Hello,
currently I am in the process of building a cost center report based on reporting tabel CCSS.
This report should list all primary and secondary costs which are charged to a specific cost center/cost center group .
The cost center or cost center group is given in the general data selection.
All direct primary cost postings are identified in rows like this:
- Cost Element (SET): cost element group A1, A2,...Axx
- Business Transaction Type: COIN
All primary cost postings deriving from (real) internal orders are identified like this:
- Cost Element: 1 to 9999999999
- Business Transaction: KOAO
- Partner object number: 0 to 99999999
Now here is the problem:
The controlling department requests to identify all primary cost postings to the given cost center which have been postet to a statistical internal order at the same time. The most part of the primary costs have been directly postet to the cost center in the Additioanal Account Assignments. But some have been posted to the cost center and at the same time to a statistical internal order.
Looking into BSEG I can quickly identify these line items as they have a value in BSEG-KOSTL and BSEG-AUFNR.
How can I select these items in a report painter report?
I would like to separate all items whith connection to statistical int. orders from those with no connection to internal ordes.
Thanks for your help!

Dear Elli,
Dear SAP-Gurus,
once again, thank you for your quick reply.
You hints and remarks are very much appeciated.
My problem seems to be slightly more complicated than what I had expected.
All postings to the cost center/cost center group are actual postings. The cost center is the "real" cost element, there are no postings of value type 11 here.
Most postings have the cost center as the only cost element, but others additionally mention a statistical order.
My goal is to seperate those postings to the cost center [as (real) cost element] plus the statistical order from those with only the cost center.
I would also like to sort these postings by the order number.
I could easily write two reports:
One for the cost center and another one only for the statistical orders. The latter would use value type parameter 11 (as you proposed!). Unfortunately, I do not know all order numbers tied to the cost center. As table BSEG is not suitable for SAP Query, I run into deep problems here.
I know I have problem in the design of my report here and I would like to sort out, which options I have.
Is Report Painter a suitable tool for me here anyway?
Thanks again!
Karsten

Report Painter Request - Cost Center and WBS Element

Hi Everyone,
Currently, my company settles all project related expenses through to a cost center by way of an internal settlement cost element (category 21). The issue with this is that when the expense gets to the cost center, they lose all visability as to where the expense originated, such as salaries or travel expense (category 1 cost elements). We can't switch the settlements to the originating cost element from wbs to cost center just because of the additional data/volume that will cause. My thought was to create a report painter that can run by cost center but also show the wbs's that settle to that cost center and group the expenses by primary cost element (cat 1). I'm assuming that there is a way to marry a cost center and wbs element by way of the wbs settlement rule but how would that be done for reporting purposes? I've seen it done before by way of a nightly job that created sets based on the combination of cost center and wbs but I'm not sure how that was done. Any advise and examples?
Example:
Cost Center: IT
WBS: A.0017.01.01 (settles to cost center IT)
Postings made:
1. CC IT and CE 552000 "salaries"..............................$20,000
2. WBS A.0017.01.01 and CE 552000 "salaries"........... $5,000
3. Settlement of WBS to CC (expenses flow through to CC IT by way of CE 985000)
I want to run CC IT and see that the account 552000 really shows $25,000 and can be broken down by cost object (CC and WBS by the amounts above)
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Peter,
I had a similar requirement and used report painter report group 1SHK-002 (in library 1VK).
I took a copy of the standard and ameneded it slightly, I switched the explode so it occured on the cost center not cost element.
The report runs so that direct costs on the cost center are shown at primary cost level. And values settled to the cost center are shown on the partner object. In your case i guess WBS Elements (Partner ObjType WBS).
Now in my case I didnt need cost element breakdown on partner level, just on cost center so effectively I have(sorry for text alignment but I hope you get the idea):
GL1   ............. 100
GL2   ............. 250
+ Cost center1 total ....350
GL3 .............   50
GL4 ............. 100
+ Cost center2 total.... 150
Primary Cost Total ..... 500
X-YZ-1.200 .............   50
X-YZ-1.400 ............. 100
+ WBS total ............. 150
IO 1............. 100
IO 2 ............. 100
+IO total ............. 200
Partner Total............. 350
Overall total ............. 850.
Its not exactly like your requirement but it might be a good report for you to work with to get what you need.

Thanks Abhijit , I can now see my report group at the bottom of the list .I assigned you full points.I posted another question regarding report painter .If you could also give me some guidance on that.When I was creating rows and updating cost elements with account numbers.I set up 3 revenue accounts and then ran the report to see if I get any data for profit centers.I did get data but when I double clicked on one of the account,it displays this messsage.I read the msg. but could not make any sense with it.for example in definning row I put account number from/to 400000- 400000    Explode. and thats a characteristic.
No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
Report MEG1 does not contain any data pages.
No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
Message no. GR633
Diagnosis
No valid master data within the specified interval was found for the characteristic 'Account Number'.
Explanation:
For each characteristic that is processed in a report, the Report Writer optimizes the interval limits which are relevant for selecting data from the database.
Example:
A report contains the characteristic 'account', for which an account interval from 100000 to 200000 has been entered. However, if the master data validation shows that the lowest/highest account in this interval is 110000/190000, the selection will be limited to accounts 110000 to 190000 only.
The system returns this error message if no master data exists for the interval.
This error is typically caused by an invalid version. In FI-SL Special Purpose Ledger, for example, versions are assigned to the ledger and are defined in configuration. The report definition can then contain a non-defined version. A similar situation applies to controlling (cost center accounting): here, versions are assigned to the controlling area and fiscal year and can be defined in planning.
Another cause of this error is a ledger that is not assigned to the table for which the report was created.
Technical information:
The field name for 'Account Number' is 'RACCT'.
System Response
The system cancels processing.
Procedure
Check the report definition, or the specified master data, or the intervals.
Regards
Shaun

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.

Report Painter: Cash Flow Actual/Plan Report on Profit Center

I must create a Cash Flow report Actual/Plan/Variance Figures per Profit Center by using a report painter.
It will be created in monthly basis format, and year-to-date format (two different formats).
The format is in GL accounts instead of standard Cash In and Cash Out format.
I need to extract the Plan figures. However, we don't have planning on PCA. We are only doing plan on cost center, either revenue or cost (revenue is created as cost element category costs/reducing tax).
Should I extract it from the Cost Center Plan & add up all plan amounts of the cost centers that attached to the specific profit center? How can I do that?
What do you suggest as the best solution? Please explain briefly and using what t-code, tables and fields to extract from.
Thanks,
-=Meila.S=-

Hi John,
Go to Menu - > Edit -> Variation
You can set the order of the Selection Screen fields there.
Hope this helps you

Display Profit Center & GL Account in 2 Seperate Columns in Report Painter Report

Hello All,
I am building a Report Painter Report for Inventory Balances. As psrt of my requirement I have to display GL Account & Profit Center ina different Column & their Balances for each month on this Current Fiscal Period. As/of now I am only able to have both GL Account & Profit Center in the Same Lead Column? And it is perfect if I look on the Report but when I download all the GL Account & Profit Center are not seperated with Color, so it becomes confusing. I need to have execlty the Report as Same Format S_PL0_86000030.
How can this be achievable? Thanks for your valuable input?

the account is probably in account group or set. Look for that one in report painter and then go to the set or account group and remove/add the account.
