Characteristic wild card in report painter

Dear experts..
I am developing a report painter for PS cost element report with structure CCSS.
I want to create rows with dynamic characteristic and I am thinking of using wildcard in the characteristic variable.
What I am trying to achieve is basically to filter WBS only for those which consist "ABC" in the project number (ABC in POSID). I know it can be achieved in the selection screen but I want the selection screen to be as generic as possible and only filter it at row level.
In the normal functional report we can use '*' as the wildcard but it can not be used in characteristic variable.
Appreciate any enlightenment on how to use variable or set to be able to do this.
Thanks in advance

Hi Alexei,
Welcome to SDN.
You need to give the exact file name. System can not determine file name with wild card.
Hope this will help.

I am designing the P&L report and I want to split my R&D expenses split down by Internal Orders. Since, I have not seen Internal order field in summary table of new GL..ie., FAGFLEXT table.
I want to know how this can be achieved in the same report in report painter.
I am talking this issue from Report Painter point of view where each report is based on library , which is defined per summary table.(ie., Library can refer to only one table....finding it odd to believe there is no join in reporting tool).....
Thanks and let me know if you want to know more on the issue I am facing.

Report Painter, G/L account as characteristic and data selection

Hi experts,
I'm creating a report on report painter (grr1) and i'm using as characteristic gl account. Now i need to use gl account on selection screen too.
So for that I created a variable of set. In selection screen that field is available to set with gl accounts, but when I execute the report, is displayed all accounts. It doesn't respect the selection i've made by account.
For example in selection screen:
Account from: 1200000 account to: 12999999
I execute report and is displayed all set accounts and not only accounts in range 12000000...12999999.
How can I do that selection correctly?
Thanks in advance.

Cristina Rocha

Report painter - GGR2- filter on a characteristic whose value is empty

Hi Experts,
In element defintion, we must filter on a characteristic (C/f level - RCFLEV - Document and Predecessor not Carried Forward) whose value is empty but represent a set of data . The list of values is :
        Document and Predecessor not Carried Forward
     X Document or Predecessor Carried Forward
     U Customer Flag: Document or Predecessor Carried Forward
     9 Cstomer Specification: Number of Carryforwards
The report painter does not allow to exclude certain values. Which solution can you propose to me to filter on Document and Predecessor not Carried Forward?
Thanks and Regards
Fabian

Hi,
Thanks but unfortunately, this solution does not function
The report is based on structure FMRBCS. The basic key figure is HSLT. In the characteristic , I selected c/f level and I encoded '#' in the field u201Cfromu201D and in the field " tou201D but not result. With the value u201CXu201D, I have a result.
I also tested the use of character u201C#u201D for filter on field C/F Level with the transaction se16N on transp. table FMIOI (Commitment Documents Funds Management) mais no values found.
I am interested of all solutions to solve this problem in the report painter.

Report painter- Characteristic can not be maintained with key figures

We have added new characteristic ZZFIELD1 in CCSS report sructure for reporting and selected it in gen. selection list. While running report painter report, it gives an error that ZZFIELD1 cannot be combined with key figures.

Report Painter - Library 7KO - Characteristic WERKS

Hello All -
I am trying to add field WERKS (plant) to my selection parameters for my report painter report.
I had to activate it as a characteristic in the library because it wasn't activate yet.
When I select plants on the selection screen, I get no data, so it must be filtering wrong.
I used a variable for WERKS, which is pointing to reporting table KKBC.
KKBC is the table that library 7KO looks at, so I dont know why it can't find any data with the plant filter.
Does anyone know how to look at a reporting table? This might help me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Emmas

Hi,
Try the below steps and check -
1. Add the variable WERKS in General Data Selection after copying the standard report to z-version
2, Add the new report to the report group and generate it again

Report Painter Adding Characteristic

Hi,
I like to pull real estate (RE) object (property, business entity, contact) to report in Report Painter reporting.
For existing library, there are no such characteristics available. Hence, i create a new library from table CCSS and tried to add the related characteristic to it. Why i can see the fields (eg. SGRNR, OBJNR_IG ..) available in CCSS but cannot see it in GR23 and insert it to my selection ? How to add additional characteristic beside select from the standard given fields ?
Or anyone can tell me which library available with RE information ?
Thank.

Report Painter - Characteristic cannot be combined with key figures

Hi,
I have added a new field (ZZABTEI) to the report structure CCSS and using that field as a characteristic in the report. But when I execute the report, it is giving the error "Characteristic ZZABTEI cannot be combined with key figures". Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
Thank you,
Rekha

There no code for this. I had to add the new field to CCSS structure. Then there were some configuration to be done. Then this message is got when the report in the report painter is executed. The details of this error message is as follows :
Characteristic ZZABTEI cannot be combined with key figures
Message no. GR410
Diagnosis
Characteristic ZZABTEI is being used in a report with a key figure that does not match this characteristic.
System Response
The system cancels generation.
Procedure
Check the report definition: the key figures used must be compatible with characteristic ZZABTEI. For examples of useful combinations of characteristics and key figures, see the SAP standard reports.
Technical explanation: The Report Writer table assigned to the report is defined as a view with multiple database tables (somewhat similar to Report Writer table CCSS) and a key figure used in the report refers to a database table which does not contain characteristic ZZABTEI.
Example 1 for table CCSS: If the 'cost' or 'quantity' key figures are used in a report (referring to tables COSP and COSS), you cannot use the 'Statistical key figure' (only occurs in table COSR) characteristic in the rows. On the contrary, using the 'Cost element' (tables COSP and COSS) characteristic is not permitted for the 'Statistical quantity' (table COSR) key figure.
Example 2 for table CCSS: If a report only displays line item data (key figures IE... or PE...), you cannot use the 'PERBL' characteristic, because it is only valid for summary data. You have to use the 'PERIO' characteristic for line item data.
Thank you,
Rekha

Report Painter Characteristic Ledger does not exist

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a report GRR1 and for Plan Budget Report in Rows i have given SALES, REVENUE,COST and TOTAL and when i have defined the Columns with period 1,2,3,4,5,6..12 I got the following message when executing the Report.
Characteristic Ledger does not exist and Characteristic Record Type does not exist
Characteristic Ledger does not exist
Message no. GR655
Diagnosis
The characteristic must (message type E) or should (message type W) be addressed in the report definition. This means that a set must/should exist for the characteristic in the definition of the report rows, report columns, or report selection.
For performance reasons, it is important that you limit the value ranges of those key fields located at the start of the database key as much as possible.
Procedure
Define a set for this characteristic in the report.
Note
In Controlling (Table CCSS), different characteristics (cost center, order, project, etc.) are portrayed internally with a common technical characteristic, "Object". In reports, either a specific characteristic such as cost center must be used, or the characteristic "Object" must be used directly. If this is not the case, an error message appears saying that the "Object" characteristic is missing.
Also i would like to know how do i define the selection criteria for executing the report
Please advice a solution for the same
Regards
Rahul

The reason could be having (1) invalid characteristics value or (2) have not properly defined the General Data Section, most likely (1) in this case.
Either way, go to t-code GRR2 to change the report.
In the report row or column, is there an Element (the labels in red color) that does not make sense?
It could still have the correct label names, but double-click and go into "Record Types (from your error message)". Be sure to have the correctly define values attached to each Characteristics.
If all above seems okay, try (From top bar, select) Edit --> General Data Section. Think of this section as the "header data" of the report.
Good luck
