Datasource for financial reporting structure

Hello,
I am extracting data from several finance datasources (FINGLAU*) to an external BW system. For several reporting requirements I need an extract of the so-called Financial Reporting Structures, which are effectively hierarchies of GL-accounts.
I have found a way to manually save these structures to an Excel-file through the Business Configuration work center. However I would like to automate this process by extracting these from a data source but I as of yet I have not been able to find one.
Does anyone know of a datasource to extract these structures?
Regards, Dirk

Hello Dirk,
I am not sure if there is a data source for the financial reporting structure.
You can check help center document : Overview of Data Sources in SAP Business By Design
for the list of all available data sources.

Defining default value for financial reports display in the workspace (9.3)

Hi
I need to change the default value for financial reports workspace preview mode, for every workspace user. It is actually set on html, and I would like to have pdf instead.
This option can be changed when logged on the workspace, in file->preferences->financial reporting->default preview mode. However I want every user to start with the right settings, so they dont have to change anything manually.
I have tried to do it with Shared Services : under projects, BI+, assign preferences. From there I can change the default folder and the start page (the general preferences), however I cannot find the options for financial reporting.
Is there a way to change these values with hyperion tools ?
If not, is it possible to change it directly in the repository DB ?Thanks and best regards

We looked at this about 2 years ago - from memory, you can only set preferences when the users are first setup in Shared Services, under the manage preferences section of the wizard.
I can't remember if there is a settings file you can edit for the default users - i think there is, but again this must be set before users are set up.
We looked at changing users preferences, but gave up on the idea as all users had been provisioned already :-(
Cheers, Iain

For financial report requirment can we consider secondary cost element cost

For financial reporting requirment can we consider secondary cost element cost to profit and loss a/c

In our senario _ cost is booking cost centers and revenues booking concern profit centers .
for Financial reporting requirment can I include secondary cost to profit and loss a/c
what is the impact on the report
exp: salary booking in primary cost,than Per hour man hour cost computed by costing dept for allocate to concern department
it is cost center activity price we specify in kp26 at the time of pm order confirm it will confim the activity quandity price will from planning area only, so for salaries in primary g/ls already captured, if we consider secondary it may double booking

Order settlement cost ( Activity cost) can we consider for financial report

I am in port Implemetation as per their senario financial reports based on cost center hierarchy,
for minisrial report requirement, they submitting Operational wise nothing but cost center heirarchy wise
for Pm order settlement Man hour cost based on kp26 computed cost converted actual at the time of confirmation. At the time of settlement to concern cost center is debited but primary cost booking for (man hour) salaries not deducting the primary cost element. Here is salaries and manhours both is apprearing in the cost center. My client requirement is based manour activity cost deducted in salary primary element, they want that process. After Order settlement based on amount we can deduct concern intial cost booking cost center to Order settle cost center.
Please suggest and PM order cost affect in cost center in primary booking and after order settlement
Please anyone resolve my issue
Clarification above issue
when we settle PM order Activtiy cost (Manhours) based on the salaried booked in primary cost element,we assume per hour man hour cost and specify in kp26 based on the activtiy cost planning system picks cost and at time of order settlement it will settle concern cost center.
intially we booked salaries in primary cost not thing but salaries a/c and once again we are settling the same salary assumption cost to cost center ...
when we go for cost center report Initial salary a/c booking Administrative cost center and now production cost center with activity cost with secondary cost element ....so problem is both cost centers are debiting for the same salaries( activity cost) but my client want cost center report all including primary and secondary cost element total balance.
Please resolve my problem it very critical

Dear Sudhakar,
salaries cost booked in administrative cost center with primary cost element salary a/c
but Activity type man hour is meant for per hour salary cost. we can specified in kp26
so when we take cost center report, we get salary amount and activity cost in admin cost center and product cost center for the same salary amount... for financial report requirment, if we use cost center report the salay amount appeared twice.
Please explain the activity cost against salay amount ..

Web Service as Datasource for a Report

hello.
current situation:
CR2008 (12.3.0.601)
webservice is created.
webservice is bound as datasource in CR.
report creation works fine.
but:
i would like to provide key information for the tables specified in WS-XSD.
something like (marked with '->'):
<xsd:complexType name="someTableRowType">
<xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="numberColumnInSomeTable" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
->    <xsd:attribute name="key" type="xsd:string" fixed="true"/>
    </xsd:element>
    <xsd:element name="stringColumnInSomeTable" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="someTableType">
<xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="someTableRowType" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbound" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
// and then:
<xsd:complexType name="someOtherTableRowType">
<xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="numberColumnInSomeOtherTable" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
->   <xsd:attribute name="references" type="xsd:string" use="required"/>
    </xsd:element>
    <xsd:element name="stringColumnInSomeOtherTable" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="someOtherTableType">
<xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="someOtherTableRowType" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbound" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
i am looking for the keywords for "key" and "references". is there something like that? or an other posibility exist?

hi Ludek,
i want to provide additional information about the relations between the "tables" i provide. so that CR could be able to link these tables automaticly during the report creation. and i am looking for a possibility to define the primary- and foreignkey in the xsd.
what du you mean with "System.Data"? it seems to me you speak about .NET? i don't deal with .NET.
hi Bhushan,
your suggestion could help me by other problems i have. thank you.

How to use Adobe Distiller in Win 2k8 server 64-bit for Financial Reporting

Hi All,
We need to use the Adobe Distiller in Windows 2008 Server SP2 OS for generating PDF reports in Financial Reporting. However, the Adobe Distiller installation recognises the OS version i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit and installs itself automatically.
Now, the problem is that Hyperion Financial Reporting supports only 32-bit version of Adobe Distiller. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can anyone provide some lead into this?

Hi Sultan,
The version is 11.1.2.0
When we were unable to print the PDF reports, we raised an SR during which it was informed that
only 32-bit version of Adobe Distiller is supported. This can also be due to implied dependency. As
per the support matrix, if we use Win 2008 SP2 as the OS, only 32-bit binaries for FR is supported.
Hence, it implies that only 32-bit Adobe Distiller might be supported for generating PDF output.

PDF preview in workspace not working for Financial Reporting

I have an issue in workspace with doinga PDF preview on a Financial Reporting report. PDF preview works fine via workspace but only FR has the problem, here is the error that is displayed. I am running FR server on AIX and the print servers are on windows platform. We have two installations pointing to same windows box for print server. The 1st if FR for HFM running all on windows, the 2nd is FR on AIX for an Essbase installation. The HFM FR install works great via workspace but the the 2nd produces the following error:
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
We made the port for the print server static(it is normally dynamic) so we could open the firewall port to the print server and have verifed it is open.
Does anyone have a suggestion of what could be producing the Internal Server Error. I should mention that we use Weblogic for the web deployment of workspace if that should have any bearing on the issue.

Firewall issues were preventing this problem.

Error in EPM config for financial reporting

While configuring the Financial reporting we recieve error as :an unexpected error occured and application will shutdown" after financial reporting Schema configuration step.
Please let us know if you have any suggestions for the same.
Thanks in advance.

The issue might be with some unknown hostname updated in the HSS registry.Not sure whether you have resolved it already but checking the registry.log file in the config logs folder would be a great way to start.
Also there is separate forums for Reporting and Infra questions...

Unable to fill datatable to use as datasource for Crystal Report

Hello again kind folks of the Crystal Reports forums. I beseech you for a little assistance yet again. I am writing a program that does some very simple stuff, yet is giving me very complicated problems. I used the code I wrote from a working program and everything is fine, except the fact I can't get data on my report. I have created a dataset    to get the data from my SQL Server database. The connection string I have works, and the query I use works. In my other program I when I look at the dataset.xsd I see a filled datatable and that was how I got my fields for the report. In this one, I don't know how to prefill the datatable so that I can use that as a datasource in my report. I would be glad to get you code if anyone would like it. If someone could explain to me how to fill the datatable so I can use it as the crystal datasource, I would be so appreciative.
Thanks again for all your help.
Jami Benson

Thanks for posting a reply Amit. I am confused about a couple things. The XML file. Is that something that I have to create myself? In my last program I got around using XML files somehow and for the life of me I can't remember how I did it. Is there another way you know of to fill besides this? Also I dont' have access on my computer. The boss never say a need since no one uses it. Is there a way to use my code, which I'm gonna include, and do it??
Many thanks again Amit!

EPM workspace 11.1.2.(x) - usage tracking for Financial REports?

hi all!
have a simple question - is it now possible to enable usage tracking in FR objects in Workspace 11.1.2?
could not enable any relevant MIME types, so I guess it is not possible, right?
or can I enable FR MIME types somehow?
many thanks

Editing new crystal layouts for financial reports in 8.8

After upgrading to 8.8 PL10 I decided to investigate the new financial layouts for Crystal. When I opened the layout however I couldn't make much sense of how it is structured or even functions, it seems to reference a PLD table that I couldn't find under tables, views, or stored procedures. Any advice on how to better manipulate this report would be great.
They are all structured similarly so lets use the new balance sheet as a reference.
-John-Michael

Hello!
Here are my findings ...
- The new Crystal Reports Layouts base deeply on the "old" PLD Layouts.
- The table "PLD__ITEMS" is an XML-file with the data of the report.
- If you want to show same additional fields of PLD__ITEMS on the report, it is not enough to drag the field on the report. You also have to format the field and add additional info to the CSS-Class like: FileName="OINV";FieldNum="CardName";
The workflow I used to edit the new CR Layouts:
1. Edit the old PLD Layout as needed
2. Use the Crystal Reports Converter to get a CR from the PLD [Download|/docs/DOC-8768#section16 [original link is broken]]
(The PDF included gives some basic hints about the structure of the CR Layout)
3. Edit the SAP CR with the informations of the converted CR (from PLD)
Hope this helps a bit ...

Attempt to assign data set as datasource for existing report

There must be something stupid I am missing.
1) Created a report with Crystal Reports 2011
2) It queries a table in a SQL 2008 database
3) The internal select statement is
SELECT "CUSTOMER"."rname", "CUSTOMER"."radd", "CUSTOMER"."radd2", "CUSTOMER"."rcity", "CUSTOMER"."rprov", "CUSTOMER"."rpostal", "CUSTOMER"."rcountry"
FROM   "Data"."dbo"."CUSTOMER" "CUSTOMER"
ORDER BY "CUSTOMER"."rname"
4) Now I am attempting to use the report in Visual Basic 2010 but using a data set as the source
5) Following examples I have looked at this is the code
Private Sub CustomerCrystalReport2frm_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ' Define connection information
        Dim ConnectionInfo As New ConnectionInfo
        ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "TEST7\TEST7"
        ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Data"
        ConnectionInfo.UserID = "Master"
        ConnectionInfo.Password = "MasterPassword"
        ' Load the existing report
        Dim rd As ReportDocument = New ReportDocument
        rd.Load(Application.StartupPath & "\Crystal Reports\DGVCustomerListing.rpt")
        SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo, rd) ' Set the report table connections
        ' This shows the report has loaded the records using the internal select statement (18305 records)
        Debug.Print(" Report Document Records=" & rd.Rows.Count)
        ' Create the data set with the records I want the report to use
        Dim ReportInfo As DataSet = New DataSet()    ' To hold data to pass to the report
        Dim SQLSelect As String = "select * FROM Data.dbo.Customer where rname LIKE 'z%' order by rname"
        ReportInfo = FillDataSet(SQLSelect, "ReportData")   ' Fill the data set to pass to the report
        ' This shows the data set contains the expected records (57 records)
        Debug.Print(" Data Set Records=" & ReportInfo.Tables("ReportData").Rows.Count)
        ' Change the source of the report
        rd.SetDataSource(ReportInfo)
        ' This changing the source had no effect records still (18305 records)
        Debug.Print(" Report Document Records=" & rd.Rows.Count)
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rd ' Bind report document to crystal report viewer
    End Sub
    Private Sub SetDBLogonForReport(ByVal ConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo, ByVal ReportDocument As ReportDocument)
        Dim Tables As Tables = ReportDocument.Database.Tables
        For Each table As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In Tables
            Dim TableLogOnInfo As TableLogOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo
            TableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = ConnectionInfo
            table.ApplyLogOnInfo(TableLogOnInfo)
        Next
    End Sub
end Sub
6) The report is appearing in the viewer with 18305 records
Any help would be appreciated

Setting the report table connections caused the report to fill with data.
At this point I seemed unable to reset the datasource.
Also the set data source needed further clearification.
The simplified following code works:
Dim rd As ReportDocument = New ReportDocument
rd.Load(Application.StartupPath & "\Crystal Reports\DGVCustomerListing.rpt")
' Create the data set with the records I want the report to use
Dim ReportInfo As DataSet = New DataSet()    ' To hold data to pass to the report
Dim SQLSelect As String = "select * FROM Data.dbo.Customer where rname LIKE 'z%' order by rname"
ReportInfo = FillDataSet(SQLSelect, "ReportData")   ' Fill the data set to pass to the report
' Change the source of the report
rd.SetDataSource(ReportInfo.Tables("ReportData"))
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rd ' Bind report document to crystal report viewer

Cost roll up for financial reporting

Hi Experts,
I have requirement to have financial and management reporting with cost roll up.
As per my understanding, cost roll up happen based on cost center and profit center relationship.
But in my scenario, i have org unit defined as parent only but not maintained as cost center or profit center. (shown below)
In such case, will cost roll up function works??
Is org unit still available for reporting (without cost center and profit center)?
Thanks in advance
Govind Sharma

Hi Puru,
We dont need to use parent cost centers for cost collection, parent cost centers are only use for reporting (group or local reporting).
Business need all accounting have to be perrfomed at child level only- as shown below
Kindly let me know if you need more details on the same.
Thanks
