In ABAP, there are a total of 7 types of reports. They are:
Classical
Interactive
Logical Database
ABAP query
ALV Reports (ALV stands for ABAP List Viewer)
Report Writer/Report Painter
Classical Reports
These are the most simple reports. Programmers learn this one first. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.
Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT.
Events In Classical Reports.
INTIALIZATION: This event triggers before selection screen display.
AT-SELECTION-SCREEN: This event triggers after proccesing user input still selection screen is in active mode.
START OF SELECTION: Start of selection screen triggers after proceesing selection screen.
END-OF-SELECTION : It is for Logical Database Reporting.
Interactive Reports
As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers. And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21). Events associated with Interactive Reports are: 1. AT LINE-SELECTION 2. AT USER-COMMAND 3. AT PF<key> 4. TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION. HIDE statement holds the data to be displayed in the secondary list. sy-lisel : contains data of the selected line. sy-lsind : contains the level of report (from 0 to 21)
Interactive Report Events:
AT LINE-SELECTION : This Event triggers when we double click a line on the list, when the event is triggered a new sublist is going to be generated. Under this event what ever the statements that are been return will be displayed on newly generated sublist.
AT PFn: For predefined function keys...
AT USER-COMMAND : It provides user functions keys.
Logical Database ReportsEdit section
Logical database is another tool for ABAP reports. Using LDB we can provide extra features for ABAP reports.
ABAP Query Reports
ABAP query is another tool for ABAP. It provides efficency for ABAP reports. These reports are very accurate.
Transaction Code : SQ01
Report WriterEdit section
Key Concept :
Super users and end users can use Report Painter/Report Writer tools to write their own reports.
Giving them the ability to report on additional fields at their discretion shifts the report maintenance burden to them, saving SAP support groups time and effort normally spent creating and maintaining the reports.
Instead of using ABAP code to write a report in FI and CO, many users build a Report Painter/ Report Writer library using transaction MC27.
However, this workaround has some drawbacks. Little known transaction GRCT solves these problems in most cases, and eliminates the need to use transaction MC27.
ABAP Report Types
ABAP report types are those ones available in some report's attributes screen, i.e. :
Executable program
Function group (containing function modules)
Include
Interface pool
Class pool
Module pool
Subroutine pool
Also ALV means ABAP List Viewer. Most convenient way to use it is through reuse library (cf. transaction se83) available from release 4.6 of SAP R/3.
ALV is available in two modes: list and grid. List mode is good old list processing with standard functionnalities, and grid mode is using a new OCX object displaying grids.

Basic list report - Click Event

I have developed a report 'abc' . my requirement is that ..After executing the report, if the user double clicks any row, it should display report 'xyz'.
Can we do that ?
Can anybody please tell me how to do this.
Thanks..

I am not sure, there is a system variable which indicates the internal table index when you have clicked a line on the basic list. However, you have to find a relation between the internal table index and the line in the basic list.
If all the lines in the basic list are printed from a given internal table and the lines do not spill on a new line, then I am sure you can safely consider a relation between sy-lilli and index in the internal table, could be Index in internal table = sy-lilli + 2 
Otherwise, if there is a key field which is being displayed in the basic list, you can fetch that key field using READ CURRENT LINE ... FIELD <fieldval> and based on this <fieldval> , do a READ TABLE ...WITH KEY k1 = <fieldval> and get the data.

Basic Crystal Report Help- collapsing groups

I am using Crystal for the first time as part of my company's trial period of the software.
I created a very basic report, but am having difficulty figuring out to collapse my groups. I have a group with 3 major categories. I want the first report view to show only the three categories, but then give the user the ability to drill down to the detail for a particular category.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Also, any help docuementation would be great : )
Thanks!
Kathryn

In the left margin, right click on the section called "Details", and click on Hide in the pop up.
Do the same for Group Footer #1.
The sections should now have diagonal lines through them indicating that they are hidden or suppressed.
When you run the report, you should only see Group Header#1 diplaying with data, but if you double click on the Group Name field, it should drill into the section, create another tab, and expose the underlying details.

Basic Crystal reports question

Hello,
I have a very basic question for you experts out there.
I would like to create a Crystal report that would utilize queries i already have in B1. I believe this involves copying the query into the database so Crystal can use pull from the them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Charlie

Hello Charlie,
It is easy. You could add your query in the initial part. It is called command under Database Expert.

Is there any documentation on creating basic paper reports?

Hi - I have just started to try to create a report. We have 9i reports but don't need any of the web stuff. I only need to create reports off of our database, run them on my workstation, and print out hardcopies to give to 1 or 2 managers.
Is there any documentation that would just teach me how to create simple reports without all the web functionality? I was trying to follow along in the Reports Builder 6i, but it seems a lot has changed since 6i and I am having trouble just trying to find the corresponding buttons in 9i.
I need to learn how to create reports, triggers, and especially I want to learn how to rearrange the report output after it has been created. It seems very confusing to me how to do this on Paper Layout or Paper Design screen.
Thanks for any help. I would even go buy a book if there were a good one.

Basic crystal report question

Dear Experts,
I just have started to learn CR from PLD and figured out how to generate a simple report like a BP list which does not require selection.
In PLD, reports are linked to its own document directly so I do not need to select the document number.
I am stuck in linking documents to reports in CR.
Plz advise how to link CR to documents 1 to 1 by document number.

Basic abap report queries

IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
LOOP AT gi_afko INTO gwa_afko.
      READ TABLE gi_mara INTO gwa_mara WITH KEY matnr = gwa_afko-plnbez.
      IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
        MOVE   gwa_mara-mtart TO gwa_output-mtart.
        MOVE   gwa_mara-pstat TO gwa_output-pstat.
        MOVE gwa_afko-aufnr TO gwa_output-aufnr.
        MOVE gwa_afko-gamng TO gwa_output-gamng.
        APPEND gwa_output TO gi_output.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
=======================================
I am novice in ABAP. Please help me to understand the above coding portion.
Q. 1. Why sy-subrc IS INITIAL is checked before loop at....into wa... statement. If it is not checked there, what problem will occur?
Q.2. What does 'LOOP AT gi_afko INTO gwa_afko' statement mean?Does it mean that data of internal table
of afko being shifted to it's work area with each and every loop pass?What is the exact definition of internal table and work area? internal table is a temporary storage i think and what is work area?or what's the relationship between internal table and work area.
Q.3. what i've understood from the above coding portion that is data being read from internal table of mara to it's work area for the condition
matnr = gwa_afko-plnbez and then again 'sy-subrc is initial'
is being checked. If sy-subrc is not checked here, what problem will occur?
Q.4. What's the meaning of the statement
'APPEND gwa_output TO gi_output'?
Please help me to understand.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Cinthia,
Ans 1 : Sy-Subrc is INITIAL means ,
            The Value of sy-subrc is 0. If it is 0 the condition is satisfied and then it executes your LOOP AT statement
Ans 2 : While looping at gi_afko it moves one record into gwa_afko.
             gwa_afko will consist only a single record at an instant of time and gi_afko will consist of a collection of records.
Ans 3 : If this condition is not Initial the MOVE stmts will not get executed.
Ans 4 : The Record in gwa_output will be added to the Internal Table gi_output.
Please let me know if you need any further info.
Regards,
Sai

Report OPEN and CLOSE in computers client

Post Author: B.prata
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have an application developedin Visual Basic with report in the CR 4.6, but in the computers customers when I will access the application,I try to emit a report , it opens and close the report. What can be?

There is no FaceTime app for the iPhone if that's what you're asking. FaceTime is accessible through your Contacts as one of the options in how to contact a person -- there is no standalone FaceTime app for iPhone.
If you mean how to disable FaceTime, you can do that in Restrictions (Settings/General/Restrictions).

Report for Material at subcontract AND PO number

We are preparing for Inventory verification at subcontractors.
My boss believes it would be easier for the SC vendor if we could supply the PO number for which the material was shipped.
I haven't found such a report. Is there one?
If you know the tables and links, I can write a ABAP query
Thank you for any help that can be provided.
Althea

Hi,
ME2O works fine if you want to track which subcontracting PO's are still open and what is the current stock at vendor.
ME2ON is another version of the same basic ME2O report.
Try also MBLB - Stocks at subcontractor.
As far as PO to 541 link is concerned, I do not think it is possible to find it unless there is some specific business process being followed which is supported by custom code.
The reason is that when you issue against 541, you are simply providing materials to vendor that the vendor needs.
There might be multiple open SC POs for same material/batch and there is no point in tracking against a particluar PO. Its the same material/batch the vendor receives.
When you post a PGR for a SC PO, then the stock from vendor premises is consumed by 543 and the track to your SC PO is maintained.
I tried maintaining EBELN as required in OMJJ for 541 but still no MSEG-EBELN is populated. Maybe I am missing something.

Sale Order Scenario - Report in PS Budget /Actual/Variance

Dear Experts,
Please help me understand solve the scenario given below
Step 1
Work order issued to a contractor ( contract includes Service and Material from the contractor) - Service being the labour part
and Material being the cement
But cement is supplied by the client as a sale of cement at a basic price agreed between the two parties.
Eg:
There are 2 WBS
WBS 1 - has a PR released converted to PO with value 100 ( inclusive service + material)
Material procured through me51n , Me21n - GR done and stock has come to GNST ( 40 rs)
material converted to sale order stock mb1b - 412 E after creating sale order with reference to WBS 2
WBS 2 - reports cost incurred for procurement ie; 40rs
Actual booked against WBS1 based on GR 100
Once the billing is done for rs 20 ( basic price) report in budget actual variance shows as below
                Budget    Actual    Variance
WBS 1      200          100          100
WBS 2                       40           -40
Report should show 120 as the project cost rather than 140 - since 20 is lost against selling at lower cost.
How to get the cost to 120 which is the actual cost for the work

Reporting Level - Can someone please explain this attribute?

All - I am a relative newbie to Siebel on Demand but creating reports with other tools for years. I recently came across some reports that I have inherited that are constantly giving us trouble. They are basic reports that look at the count of calls, meetings, etc. for a given user. What we are finding is that we have used this reporting level attribute to filter but depending on the level of manager logging in it is causing problems. Some people can't see the data and some get a massive amount of duplicated data.
When it is all said and done we are looking for a simple manager-to-rep list of the counts of these activities. After looking at the reporitng level value it would look like an indicator of relative position from the lowest level in the reports-to heirarchy. We will generally filter for a level = 0 (or maybe 1) in most reports but what I want is a way to control that based on the user. My requirement is to have the level they can see and the detail at one level lower but I dont' fully understand how that gets created or how I can use system variables to find the user's level to control it.
Anyone that has any background info on this or how I can control a basic anaylytic report in a more maintainable fashion to show my stuff and subtotals at one level lower that would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if I can help with the specific report, but I will try to shed some more light on Reporting Level.
In any report where the Owned By User dimension is exposed, you can find the Reporting Level field. Each user is part of a reporting hierarchy, derived from the "Reports To" value in their user profile.
The best way to see this is to create a simple report with the User Email, Reporting Level, and Manager Email. This will show you the manager at each level. You can use this to expose and filter on the full management hierarchy.
Level 0 = the user. All users have a value of themselves as Manager at Level 0.
Level 1 = Reports To - who the user directly reports to.
Level 2+ = Up the chain...
You may want to take a look at some of the pre-built reports to see how this can be used to achieve Team based reports, such as "Team Pipeline Analysis", "Team Sales Effectiveness Analysis", and "Team Activity Analysis". You can open any of the pre-buiilt reports to use as starting points as well.

How to create a report of users in ucm about their roles and permission

Hi All ,
I need to create a report and it should contain all the users in ucm as well as their roles and permissions. Basically the report would be for the admin who can see all the users in a single report and can know about the roles and access of each and every users.
How to create such report ?? I have tried from web layuot editor but the default report template i.e stdUserReport in user datasource does not contain more than three fields..Is there any method to get such kind of report???
Please suggest!!

There was an example component to demonstrate this kind of function. Under Stellent in version 7.5
I do not know if they hand it out anymore but it is not on the standard samples page for Oracle. You may want to open a Support SR to ask for it. It should still be around in their servers if they can get permission to hand it out as a sample again.

Missing DataBase Login information for deployed VS2008 w/Crystal Report

I'm creating a Windows Form application using VS2008 Pro and the basic Crystal Reports (included).
I've successfully added a crystalreportviewer control and a crystal report (.rpt) to my form. I've written the following code in the code behind to programmatically load/bind the report to the viewer. Everything works fine on my development machine (or any machine that has Visual Studio installed). Where I'm encountering problems is when I deploy the application to a machine that does not have VS installed (I have downloaded and installed the "Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 Redistributable Package" for the appropriate processor type on this non development machine) that I'm getting an error . It prompts for "DataBase Login". The ServerName, LoginID and Password are all there, but the "DataBase" field is empty and disable for user input.
Why is the DataBase information missing? How can I solve this problem?
(On a side note, I vaguely remember a property for enabling/disabling the prompting of the database login. I can't remember where this was again to double check if that is the culprit. But I'm pretty sure that I did mark it as to not prompt, since it's supplied in the code behind. Plus it doesn't prompt on the development machines. Only on the non-development machines).
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
The code executed in the PageLoad event of the form.
this.crystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport();
 ReportDocument reportDocument = new ReportDocument();
 #region Load Parameters
 ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields();
 for (int i = 0; i < _parameterName.Length; i++)

 discreteVal.Value = _parameterValues;
 paramField.CurrentValues.Add(discreteVal);
 paramFields.Add(paramField);
 }
 crystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;

HI. Ludek,
Thanks for the tips. I tried both, but the problem presists.
On a side note, I did get my hands on yet another "non-development machine". This one ran with Window's Vista appeared to work (even with my original code).
The "non-development machines" that I've tested on are Windows 7 and Window XP machines. On these machines, when I commented out the reportDocument.SetDatabaseLogon line, when I try to load the report, it still prompts for the Database Logon information, however, it also has the "Database name" empty and disabled.
Since it worked on a non-development machine with Win Vista. I don't think there is a problem with references or the Crystal runtime packages.
As far as permission for the report to contact the database, I'm guessing there isn't a problem there either because the application does successfully connect to the database.
I'm connecting to a SQL2005 database and using the SQL Native connection.
On a side note: as for the enabling prompting, I just remembered that it was an option available when using Crystal Reports with a web project. Thus I couldn't find it here with a Window's Form project.
