Bug in Report Painter.

I have a question. I am working with the special ledger in FICO module.
When I do a report with the society characteristic in the General Data Selection, I get my report well with my accountable account and its description.
<b>Example 1....</b>
Accountable Account = 12H01001
Description= Terrenos valor de origen (Note: It is Spanish)
However; when I change this society characteristic from the General Data Selection to a report column what I get is the following:
I get:
<b>Example 2...</b>
Accountable Account=12H01001
Description=12H01001
so that the description is wrong. It should be: Description= Terrenos valor de origen (Note: It is Spanish).
Why is this?? I already have active in the report layout  in the lead column section in the contents area the key and description radio button selected.
I think this is not correct. I should work the same way as the number 1 example.
What should I do about this? Does someone know what I can do??
Thanks.

hi..
  Goto GRR3 > click on Lib 1VK it will show you all the report in 1VK library > select your report & double click on it
  It will display the report format. Then go to Edit at the top. you will find General data selection.click on it you will find available characteristics. Then goto GRR2 for making any change/selection for Fiscal year char
  If your report is a standard one you can not change. then copy the report from GRR1 and make the changes.
  You can also see the char in GR23 by selecting 1VK lib.

  • Report painter performance problem...

    I have a client which runs a report group consists of 14 reports... When we  run this program... It takes about 20 minutes to get results... I was assigned to optimize this report...
    This is what I've done so far
    (this is a SAP generated program)...
    1. I've checked the tables that the program are using... (a customized table with more than 20,000 entries and many others)
    2. I've created secondary indexes  to the main customized table with (20,000) entries - It improves the performance a bit(results about 18 minutes)...
    3. I divided the report group by 4... 3 reports each report group... It greatly improves the performance... (but this is not what the client wants)...
    4. I've read an article about report group performance that it is a bug. 
    (sap support recognized the fact that we are dealing with a bug in the sap standard functionality)

    Anyone have the same problem as mine?

    Report painter/Writer always creates a prerformance issue.i never preffred them since i have a option with Zreport
    now you can do only one thing put more checks on selection-screen for filtering the data.i think thats the only way.

  • Report Painter/Writer: Excel 2007 Integration

    Hi All,
    I'm facing an issue with some reports I've prepared in Report Painter that are intergrated with Microsoft Excel. When I create a Report with more than 256 columns and execute it with Excel Integration it's giving an error: Run-time error '1004' .
    When I debugged Visual Basic, it seems that the standard number of columns of Microsoft Excel is less than the number I required, this was OK for Microsoft Office 2003 version. However, with Microsoft Excel 2007 the number of available columns has increased to 16384. Hence it should work, but it's not!
    Has anyone face this problem? Is this a suitable bug to report to SAP? Any idea or suggestions on how to deal with this?
    Thanks!

  • Is it possible to optimize a customized report painter?

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to optimize a report painter? How?
    It's too risky too edit the codes since all of the programs are SAP Standard programs. I already added indices in to the customized tables. But still it takes me 12 minutes to excute this report painter.
    I tried to debug the codes there are several and nested perform routines inside the loop.Have you tried modifying a report painter program?
    Thanks. Points will be given...

    Hi,
    You can modify Standard report painter programs, but ideally SAP doesnt recommend it.
    SAP has provided Notes for any add-on functionality or to fix bugs.
    Please search for a sap note on www.service.sap.com

    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.

  • Changing header in report painter

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to change the header(column). I am using the global variable &5PY(Period/Year) in the characterictics value. So it displays an output like 06.2008. But the client needs this to be displayed as June 2008.
    Kindly help me out with this.
    Regards,
    Karthik

    In report painter you can select variouselements based on which the data will be pulled. I haven't seen any report painter with two header lines and don't think report painter allows that. But for your requirement I believe you can select the periods in the header line itself.

  • Strange discrepancy in report painter

    Hi everyone,
    I've designed a report painter with all the respective columns & formulas intact but at the Grand Total col (summation of all the sub-totals), the figure doesn't tally with all the sub-totals. All sub-totals have been added correctly but when they are added up to the Grand Total, the fig doesn't tie.
    Any clues? Have I missed out something?

    Hi Andrew,
    I've checked the sub-totals and apparently, when i double click on a sub-total to drill down to line item lvl, the fig doesn't seem to tie in with what I see in the report painter report. It's real strange that the correct fig appears upon drilling down to line item level but at a higher level, the fig isn't right. It's short of a fig which is in relation to another column.
    I've double checked the formula at the sub-total col and all the cols in the formula are present. This is the bizarre thing which I've been trying to resolve for the past few days.
    Best Regards,
    Ethan
