Contents of Formula (Sumaary) of Report painter report

We have a report painter report for Balance sheet. The Cost of goods section is summarized with several GL accounts belows. The COGS section is detailed as formula . A certain GL account that is listed as part of COGS doesnot seem to getting added to the COGS(which is using formula).
How do I know what is in the formula?

Under formula, you will see something like Y037 + Y036 + Y040. Look for the numbers under formula line in the formula components and then write down the descriptions for these lines.
Now, locate these descriptions in the report by double clicking on the rows to get the sets.
Those descriptions are likely to be sets. Enter these descriptions one by one in transaction code: GS03 to determine the G/L account numbers under the various descriptions.
Feel free to refer back.

Process/stpes to modify the report painter reports...

Hi,
I want to modify the report painter report. Could anybody tell me how can we do this. Where can we do this and it would be helpful if any body advise with the steps.
The requirement is to add one line in the current report painter report and remove one line from it.
Regards....

Hi,
Modifying a report painter report is very similar to creating the report itself. Below mentioned are the steps in general, please use them as per your requirement.
From the relevant application, choose Tools->Report Painter->Report->Create.
The Report Painter: Create Report screen appears.
You can also create Report Painter reports from any Report Writer screen. To do so, choose Report Writer->Report Painter-> Create report.
Enter the name of the library the report is to use, and a name and description for the report. The report name can be a maximum of eight characters long. If you want to create your report using an existing Report Painter report as a basis, enter the name of the report that you want to copy under Copy from. Both reports must use the same library.
Choose Create.The next screen displays an empty report containing four rows and four columns (this is the basic structure for a report). You define your report on this screen.
Enter or change the description for the report by double-clicking the report description field.
A dialog box appears in which you can enter a short, medium, and long text for the report description.
Define the rows of your report.Rows contain a combination of characteristic values or formulas. Note the lead column at the first position of the rows. The Report Painter uses the lead column to access the rows. You can replace the description Lead column with a different term.
Define the columns of your report. Columns contain a combination of a basic key figure and optional restricting characteristic values. You can also use predefined key figures to present key figures and characteristics that make business sense. For example, a number of predefined key figures are delivered for the libraries in Overhead Cost Controlling that can be copied directly into the reports, where they can be modified as required.
Define general data selection criteria. The general data selection criteria restrict data selection for the report.
Choose Save and then Execute to create the report. Assign the report to a report group.
You have to display the report before you execute it, so that you can later change the report layout directly from the report list. Once you have defined a report, you can display and print out a table of contents with Extras->Overview.
The overview contains the characteristics and characteristic values used in the individual sections, column blocks, and general data selection criteria. It also provides general information such as the user who last changed the report, the report name, and the standard layout assigned to the report, as well as details on the report formats.
If you double-click an individual characteristic, you can see where this characteristic is used in the report definition.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if you need an specific information.

Report Painter Report - Leading White Spaces in Cost Element

When calling up a report painter report, e.g. S_ALR_87013613, with cost element characteristic in Office integration/Microsoft Excel as output parameters, the cost element (row item) is indented with white spaces. The number of white spaces seems to be in relation with summation levels (sub-totals) visible in the left panel. For some cost centres that only have limited transactions, such as no posting to salary account group, there are less levels of summation, meaning less leading white space in cost elements. Is there any way to eliminate or have a fixed number of leading white spaces in cost elements?
We export the report to Excel worksheet for further processing. VLOOKUP function is used to read the cost element into another workbook. The inconsistent number of leading white spaces creates a problem for the formulas to work properly.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Regards,

Hello,
There are different ways of downloading the report to excel. One option is
System ==> List ==> save (to local file)
Please try with other options.
If still not working, then the work around would be
You can put ctrl+H (replace all spaces)
Then text to columns
Hope this works.
Regards,
Ravi

How to translate Report Painter Reports (GRRT or other solution)?

Hello All,
We need to translate Report Painter Reports, and it doesn't seem that it can be done using SE63.
The transaction, <b>GRRT, Report Painter->Translate Reports</b>, may be the one to use, but we cannot find any documentation on this transaction. (not even on sap.help.com). The only translation references we could find for Report Painter were regarding translating currency. We need to translate the text content into different languages.
Can you provide any information or links to material about GRRT? Or do you know of an alternate solution to translate Report Painter report content?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Lisa

Hi All,
I recommend that you use transaction SE63. This enables you to translate what you need:
1) Selection texts for reports: SE63 -> Translation -> Short Texts -> ABAP -> Program texts -> Enter program name, source and target language and choose Edit.
2) Report Writer texts (what you have been using the G* transactions for): SE63 -> Translation -> Long Texts -> SAPscript -> Report Writer -> Enter name of library, source and target language and choose Edit. You can find documentation on transaction SE63 by choosing Help -> Application Help while you are working in this transaction. The section on Transport Recording also contains information on how to transport translations.
Best wishes,

Hi,
Report Writer enables you to report on data from multiple applications. Using functions such as sets, variables, formulas, cells and key figures, you can create complex reports that meet specific reporting requirements.
The Report Painter is similar to the Report Writer, but is simpler to use.The main components of report painter are characterestics and basic key figure.
The majority of reports end users use in the R/3 System is Report Painter reports. Most of these reports (@ 80+ %) began as Report Writer reports.
The major difference is Report Painter uses a graphical interface (analogous to Notepad and MS Word).
Very few R/3 users employ Report Writer however, many still use, modify and develop reports using Report Painter. Report Painter permits complex groupings and drill-down reporting very useful for such applications as FI-CO and SD. It can also be used interactively allowing users to enter variables for specific steps; thereby permitting drill-across' functionality.
However, Report Painter does have its limitations; it can display only numeric data (excluding column headers) therefore, short text, etc. is not available. It is much easier (quicker) to modify than ABAP and requires no ABAP expertise however, many combine Report Painter with ABAP reports to fill-in many of the missing pieces. Layout design is archaic and rudimentary ~ therefore; many use Report Painter to retrieve and massage the data' and eventually export it into Excel for end use.

Period in report painter report

Hi Experts,
I use a report painter report where certain variables are used.
In report, I have two columns. First column shows details of current period and second column shows immediate prior period.
Say 1st column shows details of period 2, 2011 then 2nd column shows period 1, 2011.
Here, the problem I am facing is, if I execute for period 1, 2011 u2013 I expect period 1 of 2011 in column 1 and period 12, 2010 in column 2 u2013 but in 2nd column, instead of period 12, it shows heading as period u20180u2019 and no details are displayed. This is happening only if I execute for period 1. From period 2 onwards its fine.
The variables I used in column 1 and 2 are
Column 1
     Fiscal year : Variable u2018ZYEARu2019
     Period : ZPERTO
Column 2
     Fiscal year : Variable u2018ZYEARu2019
     Period : ZPERT-1
Details of formula variables
ZYEAR: From field (GLPCT- RYEAR) with formula (IF '#S006' = 1 THEN '#S001' - 1 ELSE '#S001')
ZPERTO: From field (GLPCT- RPMAX) with formula (IF '#S006' = 1 THEN 12 ELSE '#S006' u2013 1)
ZPERT-1: From field (GLPCT- RPMAX) with formula ('ZPERTO' -1), also Internal variable check box is checked in this variable.
Could someone explain me how to solve this. I would like to se the system right with minimum changes because these variables are used in some other reports too. So would like to make the thing possible with minimum changes.
Thanks.

Hi,
Create 2 more variables and use this formula.
Variable 1: ZYEAR (Fiscal Year) RYEAR u2192 '#S001'
Variable 2: ZPERT (Period) RPMAX u2192 '#S002'
Variable 3: ZPERT-1 (Period -1) RPMAX
IF 'ZPERT' > 1 THEN 'ZPERT' - 1
       ELSE 12
Variable 4: ZYEAR-1(Year for Period-1) RYEAR
IF 'ZPERT-1' < 'ZPERT' THEN 'ZYEAR'
                                    ELSE 'ZYEAR' - 1
Use the Variables
1.ZYEAR & 2.ZPERT for Current Month.
3.ZYEAR-1 & 2.ZPERT-1 for Previous Month.
Hope it solves your problem.

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.

Issues in Report Painter Reports

Dear All,
We are on ECC 6.0. We are using some Report Painter Reports and we are facing the following 2 issues:
1. Authorization
For some of the Profitability Reports, we are facing authorization issues. e.g. If I do not need a user to view the profitiability of a particular Business Area to which he does not belong to then I should be able to restrict the same via authorization. However, I do not know where to maintain such authorization objects in Report Painter Reports
2. Financial Statement Version
We have created a Cash Flow Statement by using the Report Painter. We have created a Form whereby we have assigned GL Accounts to some characteristics and Financial Statement Version Item to others. However, when we execute the report, we can see figures for only those items where we assigned the GL Accounts and not for those items where we assigned FSV Items.
Thanks,
Shalin Shah

Hi,
1: search SAPNET with search terms "report painter, authorization", guess you find some useful notes.
2: Try T-code KE5B to convert Financial Statement Verison sets to sets that can be used in report painter.
Best regards, Christian

Line Items missing in report painter report..

Hi guri's,
Iam uisng customized P&L report painter report using with library 1VK....in this report some line items are not shwoing..... how to solve it...
regars
JK

After you've create a P&L report using the report painter, you would also have to create line item reports for example 'Receiver- Profit Center Line Items' and then assign these line items reports under 'Report/Report Interface' in the P&L report.
How to do this:
1. After creating the line item report(s), use transaction code GR52 which is for change report group. Enter the P&L report group and click enter.
2. Under 'Report/Report Interface', click on 'configure' under assigned report to library.
3. In the pop-up screen, click on the green plus sign "Insert Row"
4. Another screen will pop-up. Enter the report group for the line items report and enter.
5. Save
6. Regenerate your report group. After regeneration, execute.
7. Drill-down in the displayed P&L report to the line items.
Don't hestitate to ask for further clarifications.

Selection values in Report Painter Report

Hi All,
I am creating a report painter report for Plan/Actual values using library 0FL.In my characteristic value column I included fiscal year as a value and hard coded the fiscal year so i dont need this parameter in my selction screen.When I execute the report the fiscal year is coming in the selection twice.i.e:
Fiscal Year
Fiscal Year
Company Code
Period
From Profit Center
To Profit Center
How do I wipe out this fiscal year from my selection screen? In GRR2 -> EDIT--> General data selection , I only have profit center values.I dont know why this fiscal year is coming up as a selction parameter when I hard coded in the column.Any help.Thanks
Regards
Shaun

HI Shaun
In GRR2, Against the char, there is a check box where in you specify to treat it as a variable.. DId you check that box? Unless you check that, it wont appear in the selection screen
