Creating report in BI or in report painter which is preferable

Hi Experts,
1.I have an issue in R/3 where from two standard tcodes i should merge fields based on common field and make a report.
2.I dont had any data source.i have to go tcodes and from filed name i have to click f1 help to idetify filed name and table name.Is it enough to get enough data for bi reporting.
3. I never used report painter but i heard that we can do through it also.
4.suggest me which one i have to go based on situation i had.
Regards,
naresh.

Hi Naresh,
In R3 create a datasource form txn RSO2. Base the datasource on the table which has your fields in.
From here reolicate your data source in bw and then u can concatenate the fields using some simple ABAP in your transformations.
Cheers,
Nick.

Create a program, based on a report painter query issue continues

Hi!
I would like to create a program, which contains the same data, what I can get from a report, which is made by report painter in transaction GRR2. The given report is for checking the service orders.
This report has a key (order number) and additional columns, like material cost, personal cost, external service cost, money income, etc...
I found the COSP table, which can be very useful. Unfortunately COSP table contains only the costart (KSTAR) and I don't know, which costarts can be attached to the material costs, which costarts to the services, which costarts belong to the money income, etc...
Could you please tell me, where can I find this assignment?
Thank you

How to create Profit and loss account using report painter

Dear All,
Can some one guide me as to how to create Profit and loss account using report painter.
If some one can share the document having steps to be done,would be of great help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Could you please re-phrase your question? As the report painter is a reporting tool I assume you want to report on P&L accounts and not u201Ccreateu201D them. A few more details on what you intend to report would be useful.

Hello Chinasammy,
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the process for creating reports using Report Painter as a tool.
Selecting and maintaining a library for your report: As the transfer structure to Report Painter you use a report table, which is defaulted by SAP and can not be maintained. This table contains characteristics, key figures and predefined columns. In a library, you collect the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns from the report table, which you need for your Report Painter reports.
When you define a Report Painter report, you assign it to a library. Reports assigned to one library can only use the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for that library.
When you create or maintain a library, the Position field determines the sequence in which the characteristics, key figures or (predefined) key figures appear in the Report Painter selection lists when you define a report. This allows you to position the objects that you use regularly in your reports at the beginning of the selection lists. If you do not make an entry in the Position field, you will not be able to use this object in Report Painter reports.
You can use either the standard SAP libraries for your reports or define your own.
(ii) Selecting or maintaining a standard layout for your report: Standard layouts determine report layout features and the format of your report data.If the SAP standard layouts do not meet your reporting requirements, you can create a new standard layout or change an existing one.
(iii) Defining row and column models: A model is a one-dimensional, predefined reporting structure that you can insert in either the rows or columns of your report.If you often use the same or similar row or column definitions in your reports, it is recommended that you create row or column models.
You must define the row and/or column models that you want to include in your report definition before you define the report.
You can also use the standard column models supplied by SAP.
(iv) Defining the report: Defining a Report Painter report involves the following steps.
(a) Define the report columns: You define the report columns using the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for the library that the report uses. Alternatively, you can use a column model for column definition. Column models are predefined column structures which you insert into your entire column definition, instead of defining each individual column.
(b) Define the report rows: You define the report rows using the characteristics selected for the library selected for the report.
Alternatively, you can use a row model for your row definition. Row models serve the same purpose as column models, but are used to define a report row.
Edit and format the report rows and columns in line with your requirements. (For example, you can hide rows or columns, define the column width or define colors for your report rows).
(iii)Define general data selection criteria for the selection of your report data: Selection criteria are the characteristics used to select data for the entire report. You cannot enter characteristics as data selection criteria if they are already being used in the report rows or columns.
(iv) Assigning the report to a report group: Once you have defined a report, you must assign it to a report group. A report group can contain one or more reports from the same library. However, reports that share the same data will select data more quickly and improve processing time.
Hopw this helps you. Please let me know if you need anything more and assign points.

Error while creating a new layout in a report.

I am getting this error message:
Failed to save data.
Error occurred when creating xml data.
when I try to save after I create a new layout in my report.
Is there some common problem with templates that could cause this to happen?
I'll continue to look around for an answer but if anyone would like to see the template and a sample set of XML data so they can help me figure out what the problem is, that would be swell.
-Nevermind. The problem seems to have dissapeared. Apparently the appropriate order of operations is
1: Create new layout.
2: Upload RTF Template
Please feel free to delete this post -.-

i am also getting the same error here and i have followed what you laid out, i am still getting the same error.
Thanks

How to create a z-tcode for a report in FSI3 transaction

hi friends,
i want to create a z tcode for a report in FSI3 transaction, i have copied the program of the report and created a tcode in se93, but some more tabs are getting displayed in selection screen when im executing my Z Tcode, and report is not getting executed. kindly help.
regards,
nagarajan.j

Hi,
follow these steps:
1. enter into transaction SE43 and change any Z area menu (we won't save it anyway)
2. choose to add a new entry
3. in the popup, choose to add a new report
4. select "Drilldown"
5. the application class depends on the area from you are trying to define/launch drilldown reports. In case of transaction FSI3, the appropriate application class is "FBR FI:FIS - Balance sheet, balance sheet key figures
6. then choose the suitable report type. This corresponds to the nodes that you'll see in transaction FSI3
7. finally choose a report, and optionally a variant.
8. you'll return to the screen "Transaction code for reports" (same as in step 4)
9. expand the button to display further options
10. optionally, specify a custom transaction code and/or description
11. accept all popups. This will create the transaction
12. finally, exit and don't save the area menu
I hope this helps. Kind regards,
Alvaro

Creating a PDF-File from a report within a service

Unfortunately, it is not a piece of code that I can send. The SQL would be embedded inside Oracle Reports tool, and you would have the option to save the output of the report in PDF format.
Once you have the Oracle Report developed, you can execute it from command line prompt and save the output to a pdf file. In your case, the cursor would be embedded inside Oracle Report

How to create an internal table in a Report from File of FTP Server.

Hi All,
I want to create an internal table in a Report program. But the problem is I have to download two latest files from FTP server.
Now, based in those file I have to design internal tables in current program. The problem is the program from which these files are being generated has options to display some fields in the output. Hence, the columns of these files becomes dynamic due to which I am not able to design the internal table in my current program...Please Help.
Regards & Thanks.

One way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.

Creating snapshot in SSRS 2008 R2 report will disable some parameters.

Hi guys.
I'm new to SSRS, so the question that I'm going to ask might sound stupid, hope you guys don't mind.
I have a few reports that display data based on the snapshot. I found out that some of the parameters on certain reports were disabled and some are not. When I removed the snapshot setting and display the report based on latest data, those disabled parameters
will be enabled again.
After some search from Google, I understand that when using snapshot, the parameters will be disabled. But in my case, not all parameters are disabled. And there is some reports with snapshot, all of their parameters are enabled. Please help me on this if
there is any settings that I need to do to enable all of the parameters.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Hi engloon,
According to your description, you want to enable parameters when creating a snapshot. Right?
In Reporting Services, Snapshots can be created manually or at scheduled intervals for any report that can run unattended. Furthermore, if the report uses parameters, you must specify default values to use when the report runs. You can specify stored credentials
and parameter values in the property pages for the report.
In this scenario, you may have default values for parameters in some reports so that it looks those reports have parameters enabled. So if you want to have snapshot rendered with parameter selection, you can specify the default values in Parameter tab. Please
follow the steps below:
Open Report Manager, and locate the report for which you want to modify parameter settings.
Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow.
In the drop-down menu, click Manage. This opens the General properties page for the report.
Select the Parameters tab. If the Parameters tab is not visible, the report does not contain parameters.
Reference:
Create, Modify, and Delete Snapshots in Report History
Add a Snapshot to Report History (Report Manager)
Parameters Properties Page (Report Manager)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Copy a COPA Report painter Report KE30 to a Z-Report in SE38

Dear all,
We have to copy a existing KE30 - Report Painter Report which is for COPA to a Z- Report in SE38 to have some conditions which was not possible through the report painter.
When copied we are not able to get the output in the screen as a drill down report but we are getting in spool request.
Requesting u all to help us in this regard.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Vivek K

Hi Robin,
the request is not unusual. However, report painter does not allow for two key columns or a key column combining two characteristics. You might consider using SAP Query (with table COEP or COSS/COSP for aggregates) if you do not want to resort to developing the report in ABAP.

Ora-20001 when creating a form on table with report (bug?)

Having some trouble creating a "Form on table with report".
1) I pick my table
2) take most of the defaults on the page where you pick the report type (interactive) and the page number (I changed it to 950). next->
3) Do not use tabs. Next->
4) Select all columns for the report. THEN (here's the problem) set an optional where clause of system_role_name like 'ODPSPOPUP%'. Next->
5) choose standard edit link. next->
6) Specify a page of 951 for the form (leave others defaults). next->
7) Set the form primary key (defined in table). next->
8) use existing trigger. next->
9) choose all columns for the form. next->
10) Leave actions to insert, update, delete. next->
11) Get to the summary page and click Finish
Then I get an error page saying:
ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
If I go back to step 4 and erase my where clause the wizard completes successfully.
Also if I change the report type in step 2 from the default of "Interactive" to "Classic" the wizard completes successfully. However upon running the report I get a query parse error. Looks like the where clause in the report sql is: system_role_name like ''ODPSPOPUP%'' (two single quotes on each side).
It looks as if you cannot specify a where clause with a quoted string. The wizard is expecting a bind variable.
Workaround(s):
1) Don't specify a where clause when report type = Interactive in "create form on table with report" wizard.
or
2) Specify a bogus where clause using bind variable syntax such as "system_role_name like :BOGUSVARIABLE". Then edit the report query once the wizard finishes and change the where clause to the constant string you wanted to use in the wizard (e.g. "system_role_name like 'MYSYSTEM%'")

Can anybody help me how do I design such report....
Thanks

Hi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.
Any question, please feel free to let me know.
