COPA reporting tool

My client want following:
In the selection screen for a copa drilldown report they want that period and year are automatically filled with todays date. I have not managed this yet. If it is through global variables I need detailed advice on how to prepare them.

Hi,
You can set up global variables in KE3E
Type of variable: Characteristic value
Variable Name: &0FP
Field Name: PERIO
Replacement Type: Entry
Default Value: SAP Exit
Optional Entry: Required Entry
Parameter/selectopt: Parameters
Try this and see if it works

COPA Report - Execution in Background

Friends,
We have a COPA report that takes very long time to execute. For this reason the user wants to schedule the report such that it executes in the background at month-end.
In order to test the scheduling of the report execution in background in Development system, I followed the following steps:
1) Selected the report to be executed using the t-code KE30.
2) Clicked on Report - Execute in background.
3) Filled in the execution parameters and since I did not want the print of the report, I ticked the checkbox 'Rebuild frozen report data' (I was getting the error message "Select either 'Print' or 'Save'".
4) Executed the report by pressing F8. I got the message 'Report data for the report saved'.
My question is how to view the report on screen when the report is executed in background?
Please advise at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards,

You cannot see this data as it is.
When you see the message 'Report data for the report saved'. It means that the system has performed a kind of summarization for the selection criteria you have entered. This is performance enhancement tool.
So you have to run the report again to view this report; but this time choose the option Read saved Data for the Read Mode under Status of Data. You can get to the see report output fairly quick.
SAP documnetation reads thus " <b>You create report-specific frozen report data by executing the report in the background and by choosing the Rebuild frozen report data option in the selection. When you call up the report again using the same selection, you have the option of displaying this frozen report data. If you would like more up-to-date frozen report data, you need to create this data again."</b>
Good luck.

COPA reporting using costing keys

Hi,
I am using costing keys to access the different cost estimates in COPA. I have done the necessary configuration - created valuation strategy and assigned a point of valuation and assigned two costying keys - one for current and one for future costs. I have also mapped my value fields to each cost component. I mapped the one value field twice (representing each costing key) to each cost component.
My question is, when it comes to reporting, how do I show the values seperately that correspond to each costing key? Since I have the same value field being valued with current and future cost estimates, how are these shown separately in the COPA report? Or do I have to use two different value fields per cost component?
Much Appreciated

Just read the SAP documentation which says that you need to enter different value fields for the different costing keys (up to six).
Thanks to those who attempted.

Currency type in COPA report

I created a form to generate a COPA report. I selected "both company code and operating concern currency types while creating the form. Now, I need to be able to give the currency type as variable to have the user print the copa report whatever currency they want to print. It's cost based COPA /
How can I get the currency type as selection option? please advise.
Thanks,
Sri

From the form's general selection, select the currency type and define as local variable.

Issue in COPA Report Creation

Dear All,
I ave an issue in creation of COPA repor in KE30
We have created all P&L item as cost element except
1.Change in WIP for WIP calculation in Product Costing
2. Price Difference (OBYC- PRD) Variance will be calculated from settlement profile
Values in COPA are
1.     VV001 - Quantity (KWBRUM) Quantity field
2.     VV002 u2013 Price (PR00) Revenue account of sales (Cost Category 11)
3.     VV002 - Material Cost-COGS (VPRS)
4.     VV003 - Discount Given (SD Condition) (Cost Category 12)
5.     VV005 u2013 Fright (SD Condition) (Cost Category 12)
6.     VV005 u2013 Misc Exp (SD Condition) (Cost Category 12)
7.     VV006 - Consumption and Cost of Production, Revaluation, inv diff account
8.     VV007 u2013 admin expenses
9.     VV008 - Employees cost
10.     VV009 u2013 financial cost (interest paid etc deprecation cost, audit exp)
11.     VV010 u2013 Settlement of Variances of Production order (from settlement profile)
12.     VV011 - Other income GL accounts (including Exch Rate Diff, profit on sale of asset etc)
From VV005 to VV009 all the GL account included are created as primary cost element (C category 01)
and assigned in OKB9 as transfer to PA structure and assigned in PA transfer FI (direct posting form FI)
VV011 u2013 all the GL account created as Revenue (Cost Category 11)
Issue we are facing
1. In Consumption and Cost of Production GL account (Movement type 101 and 261 from production order ) we are not
able to generate Profit analysis document.
2. Price difference also come in picture at the time of Stock transfer and Price diff GL account is not created as cost element and how to flow that in copa, price difference from settlement will come from settlement profile.
Format we have created for COPA report is like
1.Quantity Field
2.Selling Price (PR00)
3 Material Cost (VPRS)
4 Discount Given
5. Fright
6. Misc Exp
7. Consumption and Cost of Production, Revaluation, inv diff account
8 admin expenses
9. Employees cost
10. financial cost
11 Settlement of Variances of Production order
12. Other income
13 Net Profit (Calculated Values ) ( 2- 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11+12)
Is this a correct logic I applied kindly suggest.

Compare reporting tools

Hi,
Could some one point in the right direction - we are trying to finalize the reporting tool.
We have worked with BI-Publisher(not as dynamic) and Discoverer(formatting a big issue) - trying to find a tool that would overcome the limitations that these 2 tools have.
We want to be able to use Oracle Db, VPD, set client_id using OPD.Net, integrate with web application as key requirements. By same token would like to be able to create dynamic reports which allows a great deal of flexibility. Is there such a reporting tool?
Any ideas much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi
I'll try and answer your questions.
1. Xml, Sql(either a view or stored proc) as input
data sourceYou can base an Apex report on a view or mod/plsql procedure, or use xmldb.
2. support odp.net providerAs I understand it odp.net is a tool used by .net to access Oracle. Apex is a database tool so all the data and code, everything is in the database.
3. Work with VPD - virtual private database Yes.
4. single-sign-on, and setting client_identifier on
connection.Yes
5. Integrate with existing web application(asp.net
2.0)Not sure what integration you want.
6. This tool is free right, to be used with Oracle
10g database.Free and can be used with 10g or 9i databases.

Reporting Tools

I'm relatively new to BW...I've been supporting it internally for our company for the last year+, but I come from a .NET background. My questions are in regards to the reporting tools that people use at different implementations. We use the BEx Analyzer with BW 3.5, but have been relatively disappointed with the user interface and the performance of the queries. We'll be upgrading to Netweaver BI after the first of the year.
1. What other reporting tools (3rd party, web tools, etc.) have people used and how have they performed with BW/BI?
2. How much of an improvement, either in performance or the user interface, is there with the upgrade to BI?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Tony

1. There are few third party reporting tools you can integrate with BW data like Business Object, Cognos Reporting sofware, Hyperion etc. All are pretty good.
2. If you are upgrading to BI 7.0, there are lots of new features added to BW/BI reporting tools and one new tool added is Report Designer.
If you are really upgrading to BI 7.0, I don't think you need any third party tools but again it depends on totally what tool you are comfortable with.

Ashok

Reporting tools and SAP BW

Dear Sirs,
We have Business Objects BI 4.0 and SAP BW 7.3.
Actually we are using Web Intelligence and BEx Query to reporting.
We have not Business Layer (Universe) between BW and BO because BO it's not supported to create universe (unx) on BW. So we create document in WEBI using BEx Query.
We want to use Xcelsius (Dashboard Design) 2011 and I was thinking that we can use query from universe to connect with BW (new functionality in version 2011). Can we? Or maybe we should to connect to BW using "Connecttion to SAP BW"?
We want to use Explorer (on iPad and iPhone), but Explorer requires universe (unx).
Is not possible to create universe (unx, because unv is not supported via Explorer) based on SAP BW, is it true?
We should we do, when we want to use Explorer with SAP BW?
Do I understand connection between reporting tools and SAP BW:
Crystal Reports - can I use cubes or BEx queries
Xcelsius - using "Connection to SAP BW"
WEBI - BExqueries or universe (but only UNV - old version).
Explorer - in my opinion is not possible
Analysis for OLAP - drirect to cube in SAP BW
Could you please comment.

Hi
With the current version of the BI 4.0 SP2 BI Platform, one cannot create a universe (.UNX format) against BW using the OLAP connection. However you can create a universe (.UNX format) using the Relational connection (see OSS note: 1656905 - How to create UNX universe based on Business Warehourse InfoCubes). One limitation is the use of hierarchies with the relational connection.
Then you can create the Information spaces based on the universe (.UNX format) that the Explorer can use.
BO Reporting tools:
1. Crystal Reports for Enterprise = you can use the OLAP connection (BICS) directly against the BW InfoCubes or Queries, if queries already exist in the BW system then you can leverage these directly (less time spent recreating the entire query in Crystal)
2. Xcelsius = you can use the BICS or Web Service or Universe to access the data
3. Web Intelligence = you can use the OLAP Connection (BICS)
4. Explorer = you can use a universe (.UNX format) via a Relational Connection
5. Analysis for OLAP = you can use the OLAP connection (BICS) to either a query or InfoCube.
It is hoped that in Feature Pack 3 which will be released later this year, that missing functionalities will be delivered for BI 4.0.

BW (BEx) and BOBJ Reporting-Tools

Hi All,
I'm looking for an article or anything, that describes the difference between SAP BW (BEx) and Business Objects- Reporting tools .
which tools is suitable for what purpose?
thanks
brad

This isn't mine - it may even be yours - but just in case anyone looks at this thread, here it is
BO vs BEx
Ease of use:
BO - Very user friendly interface, Minimal requirement for MDX code, Some queries take more time in BO analysis, when compared to BEx Analyzer
BEx - Difficult self service reporting and analytics, Being Excel based, it needs extensive VBA or Macro programming for a great UI
Features:
BO - Export functionality (PDF, MSOffice etc), More chart types, Has more advanced features, Design and Preview Tab in the same page, Provides offline capabilities
BEx - Is mostly for SAP only but With integration can access BEx query from BO, Web App Designer is effort intensive, Build and preview are separate views
Support from SAP:
BO - Part of SAP integration roadmap, All current and future dev. in the BI front-end is focused on the SAP BO BI solutions, Crystal Reports is now main reporting tool, replacing BEx Report Designer
BEx - BEx is no longer the strategic direction, BEx product line will be phased out completely by 2016
Compatibility with other data source:
BO - Able to merge data from various sources in the same report, Can connect to any Database, very flexible in design
BEx - Gets data from BI
Implementation effort and ownership cost:
BO - Longer deployment period compared to BEx, Additional server needed, May require additional components setup for BW, May need separate license for Business Objects Enterprise (BOE) platform, BO uses OLEDB for OLAP API via BEx query, may cause an overhead, BW Accelerator may be needed to improve query response time, scalability and visibility.
BEx - Only MS office and BEx client are needed for installation, BEx is bundled with NetWeaver

Time taken to replicate campaigns from Eloqua into the Insight reporting tool

I have found there seems to be a delay in the campaign metrics for active campaigns getting into the reporting tool so that I can extract them for sales follow up. Does anyone know how long this is supposed to take?

Hello,
For Insight Reporting it can take up to 24 hours for metrics to show up in reporting found in Insight. For more "real time" data try clicking in the asset (ie campaign or email etc) and click on the gear-cog --> settings --> Operational Reporting. These reports show the most up to date data. The down side to this data is it is only able to show you up to the last 3 months worth of data.
I hope this helps!

Want to add number of sales orders in a COPA report or form

Hi All
I created a COPA report that has two columns: sales from sales orders & sales from billing documents. Now I want to add columns which shows number of sales orders that make up sales. Can any one explain me , how can we acheive this With a user exit, .
thanks in advance for looking into this

Hi Steve,
Walter is very right in saying so.
In SD module itself you can get some reports like this.
Even in COPA you will get these kind reports. But if your company is a big company and have lots of sales orders,
Then you will have serious problems with System performance issue.
When you define that sale order is a segment level character, then system will ear up the resources and take very long time in executing the reports.
But for some reason this requirement is a must case, then it is very simple
you define Sale order in either form or report,
then give the variable parameters like Co.Code, Period etc. you will get all the sales orders details for the selected period
But think about not going for it before you make up your mind
Best Regards
Surya

Why can't I print to a Zebra 2746e using the report tool kit?

I have read on here how peoople have printed barcodes from LV by sending commands directly to a zebra printer. I am using LV8.2.1 on a windows xp computer. I am sending EPL2 messages to the printer using the report tool kit, but all I get is a couple of line feeds. If I send the commands from a command prompt by coping a test file to the printer port it prints fine. Any thoughts. I have attached my program.

I tried your code against my printer and it works as advertised. Can you print to other printers with it?
By the way, when assembling a string you should use the Format Into String function instead of a string concatenator with a bunch of inputs. It takes up less room and is easier to interpret when troubleshooting.
