How can we convert a «report painter report» into a «report writer report»?
Thanks,

Hi Julien,
Can you elaborate your question? and what is the requirement and what is the scenario ?
Because Report Painter reports are created using Report Writers so i just want to know your exact requirement.

Report Painter versus ABAP Report

Hi everyone:
Can someone tell me what are pros and cons of developing OR Running reports in Report Painter?
Secondly can someone tell me when should one develop reports in ABAP and when should one develop reports in Report Painter?
Thanks in advance
R

Almost the entire SAP R3 System is written in ABAP u2013 including the Report Painter.
The Report Painter is a tool for the end user to create evaluation reports without having to involve the IT Department. He therefore has the information he requires within the limitations of the Report Painter very quickly. No programming involved.
An ABAP Report has to be written by a programmer/developer. It takes much longer, has to be tested, and, when everything is okay, be transported into the production system. This is time consuming and expensive. The report may have to modified at a later date u2013 again by a programmer/developer, which in turn also costs more time and money. A report created using the Report Painter can be modified or created immediately by the end user, i.e. low costs, immediate results.
I hope this clarifies the matter.

Implicit enhancement for report painter (CJE2 & GRR3 reports)

Hi,
We have a client requirement to add 5 fields (In selection screen) to report painter reports ( Reports of CJE3 and GRR3 ).We created Z reports as a copy of standard reports, added required 5 fields by implementing SAP notes and other settings.We have also done implicit enhancement for all these reports to make change in the behaviour of new fields.This is working fine in the development client but the problem is once we transport this to other client new reports get generated( With new name ) and implicit enhancement will be lost.
For eg:in development client for CJE1/CJE2 report the program name will be "GPAVPSATWFP4NN0YRDBIQBHI8MQ"
but when we transport it to other client new program "GP8O1UCNZTJYY5LTO8GN0UW2GQB" is generated in which implicit enhancements are not found.
Can you please suggest how to handle implicit enhancement in such cases? Or what is the correct way to transport it.
Thanks in advance
Greeshma.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply..
I have already done implicit enhancement as you said ,my problem is to transport it to another client.
I have implemented implicit enhancement for one report lets say it as "ABC", and i transport it to another client with all the enhancement. But in another client new program "XYZ" is getting generated for same report( dynamic programs ), so my implicit enhancement is present but its applicable to "ABC" program but not for "XYZ".
Can you please suggest how can i handle this??
thanks in advance,
Greeshma.

REPORT PAINTER DRILL DOWN REPORT

Hi,
i need to develop report painter report with drill down for cost elments and month wise
out should be cost elements and all months
Please suggest how to use drill down
Thanks and Regards
RAVi

Along these same lines. I have a user that cannot drill down into a drill down report. Let me clarify. This report does have drill down capability as some people can drill down into it but others cannot. If a user has authorization to run a report via GRR3. When they click on an item to drill down they do not get an authorization error statement, all they get is a statment that says "list contains no data". Any ideas why some can drill down and some can't? Thanks

You can not change a particular cell only in report painter.

Report Painter for PP reports

Hi there ,
Can any one please help me in learning how we can prepare reports using report painter ... please share with me the any learning document & resource from where I Can learn the same ...
Secondly, do we use report painter for PP rather SCM reports ... I have seen in all the cases it is being used in FI reporting ...
Thanks
Kaushik

Dear,
Most of the PP reports are for internal purpose so we never use the report painter.
Report painter is available for FI module.
Report painter is generally used for reporting from totals tables. Your requirement looks more like a query from master data tables. For this you'd better use SAP query (SQ01) or Quick Viewer (SQVI).
Please refer the below is the links to Report Painter

Report Painter - Transfer of report data to Z-program

Hello,
I have created a report painter report for P&L / Balance Sheet. I want to download the output, but in a specific format.   Is there any customizing option or a user exit or function module which can transfer the output value to a new z-program which can reformat and download the output in new format. I tried report/report interface option. But this does not work.
I read SAP help documentation on SAP queries wherein it is possible to pass the query data to another external program for further processing.    Is it possible in Report painter / drilldown report ?
Regards
Unit

Hi Alexander,
I have solved my problem. To send report to Solution Manager, you have to run few jobs in SDCCN of Satellite system. Procedure is as follows:
Create Refresh Sessions Destinations job and set its destination as RFC back destination to solution Manager and run this job daily. By default, it will be periodically scheduled to weekly. Change its schedule in Tcode SM37.
Upon Completion of above job, create Refresh Sessions job and run it manually.
Upon Completion of above job, create Maintenance Package job and run it manually.
In all of the above jobs, you will find set or have to set destination as RFC back destination to Solution Manager.
Hope this will solve your problem.
In case of any problem please revert back.
Thanks and Regards,
Naresh.

Report painter libaries and report group

Hi,
I would like to seek advice on the relationship of libaries and report group.
1
in GRR2 navigation, i can see libary and report but i do not see report group in the navigation structure. So I would like to know what is the purpose of report group?
2
From the help it says "A report group is a group of reports and parallel reports from the same library which need to be processed together in one run."
So my question is, since the report already grouped in a single library, why still need to defined report group?
3
Normally we just run by report that we interested in. So what does it mean "A report group is a group of reports and parallel reports from the same library which need to be processed together in one run".
4
Possible to have different report group in a library?
Example library ZA1 has 2 report group ZG1 and ZG2. If can, what is the implication to have more than 1 report group.
Thanks

hi
report group is used to identify the reports belongs to which functional part.

FI Standard Report
CO Standard Report etc..,

Report Painter including Drilldown reports

Hi Friends,
             what is the meaning of drilldown report

Hi Sunita,
     Drill Down report is nothing but, from the main report, if u double click on some lines, u will be navigated to some other reports.
For Ex.,
    For Pricing Std reports, go to T-Code V/LD and u can get some std report and if u click on the o/p, it will be navigated to some other screen and u can get specific report from there.

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.
