Count Number of Documents Based on a Date

Question

Hello Experts,
I have this requirement to write a query that will display counts for open orders.
For example:
OLD COUNTER is defined as number of open orders where delivery date is less than current date minus 7.
IN PROGRESS Counter is defined as number of open orders where delivery date is >= current date minus 7.
Can anybody show me how to accomplish this?  Thank you.

Hi Celion ,
To achieve your latest requirement, you can follow the below steps :
1) Create a characteristic infoobject for ex ZABC of data type NUMC and give appropraite length to it as per your choice .
2) Now make a multiprovider and include this characteristic ZABC in your multiprovider and give identification to it .
Now our next step will be to make your report over this multiprovider .
3) So, in the query designer make a dummy RKF or newselection. That means you take any keyfigure from your datatarget and restrict it with this new characteristic ZABC and make a user entry variable(FOR EX: ZUE1 ) with single value .
We will hide the above dummy rkf or newselection in the query designer , as the only purpose of this is to provide the input to the user for no of days .
4) Now you have to write a customer exit code in the 'i_step = 2' mode and detect the value of ZABC infoobject user entry variable .
You have to create a customer exit variable on the delivery date(for EX:zce1) with ready for inputdeselected and mandatory .
data : zvar_d1 type i .
data :zdate type dats.
when zce1.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range.
     if loc_var_range-vnam = 'ZUE1'.
zvar_d1 = loc_var_range-low.
zdate = sy-datum - zvar_d1.
                l_t_range-low = zdate.
                l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
                l_t_range-opt = 'EQ''.
APPEND l_t_range to e_t_range.
ENDIF.
endloop.
So in your RKFs now, instead of restricting on Delivery Date by Current Calendar Day Variable say 0DAT using Value Ranges 'Less Than' option and specify an offset of -7, you restrict your delivery date by this customer exit variable using value ranges 'Less Than' option .
So now your report will be dynamic i mean whatever user enters it will work based on that input .
And that dummy RKF will be hidden in the output.
Hope the above reply was helpful.
