Define default for excel integration to report painter

Hello,
I am running report painter.

Excel.
The Excel opens with left to right display.
I want to display him right to left - but I cannot define right to left
as a default.
Where can I define defalut template for excel integration to report painter?

Hello,
Thank you for the replies.  I did resolve the issue above (K9 072), the account group gave me a cost center and cost element that was blocked for use.  Once I usees a valid cost center and cost element, the error went away.
We are using SAP version 4.6
With that said... I did receive another error, "Enter a numeric value"
Enter a numeric value
Message no. 00 052
The valid cost centers are alphanumeric, not just numeric.  For instance:  IT1 is a cost center.
Can alphanumeric values be used?  If so, how to I go about making them work with the upload in KP06?
I have looked at the layout in report writer (KP66) and I see no options on allowing alphanumeric values.  However, I am very new to this and just may be missing it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
Rhonda

  • Add Range Selection for Cost Center in Report Painter

    Dear Gurus,
    I had a report painter which had Cost Center selection, may I know how to change the cost center selection become in range like shown in below picture?

  • Define default for purchasing data in prod. order creation

    Hi Experts,
    Could You, pls help me to define default parameters for production order related purchasing data?
    We have a special production, when no BOM used for component list, but components are identified one-by-one in production order. And out of this unique demand we create a PR.
    When a component (with no material number) is defined in production order, purchasing value also need to be maintained (such as purchasing group, G/L account , material group). These data always need to be added manually, whoever they are rather standard - so I have tried to set default value as parameter, using parameter ID, but it did not work.
    Do You happened to know, how to set default value for this feature?
    Thanks in advance

    OBYC is not used only for automatic account determination for goods movements (stock items).
    For instance, it is used in shipment costing too:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/93/744148546011d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm
    G/L acocunt is determined in the shipment cost document, after that of course it will be used by system when posting the goods receipt (service item).
    In production order, in the component overview, the G/L account is determined in the way as I discribed. When creating the PR system uses account assignment category "F", and for this G/L account can be determined by OBYC - this is what is happeneing, just a step before, in the production order and it will be copied to PR (I guess).
    (I tried to modify the G/L account in OBYC and the change was reflected in PrdOrd for the component, so it is working fine)
    As for the user exit: be careful when testing it by debugging. Program run several times reaches it, it is not enough to overwrite the values in the internal structures only once (I'm speaking here about G/L account --> the mentioned account determination overwrites it values a few times - I would set the G/L account not via the exit, but by OBYC)

  • KP06 excel upload, KP66 report painter error.

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to upload our budget planning into KP06 via the excel flexible upload function.
    I have created a new user profile via KP34.
    I have created a new layout via KP65.
    I have saved the "Generic File" and the excel file created when assigning the layout to the planner profile in KP34.
    I enetered the needed information into the excel spreadsheet created above, and saved it as a .txt file.
    When I go in to KP06 and attempt to upload the .txt file through KP06, I am getting the following Message:
    "The row inserted cannot be processed manually"
    When I select this message for mare detail, here is what I see:
    The row inserted cannot be processed manually
    Message no. K9 072
    Diagnosis
    You have entered a new row.
    The characteristic entered in the lead column or the combinations of characteristics entered in the lead columns cannot be processed manually.
    System Response
    The entered row is not accepted.
    Procedure
    Analyze the cause of the error in the corresponding transaction.
    I believe that has to do something with the file format or how I setup the layout in KP65.  However, I can figure out what the issue is.
    I am very new to using SAP Report writer/painter.
    Does anyone have any suggestions in resolving this issue?

    Hi
    i am sending you a sample of how to createa report in report painter follow it,
    Main Steps in Creating a Report Using Report Painter
    The illustration below shows the main steps in creating a report with Report Painter:
    In this section, you learn how to create a Profit Center Accounting (PCA) report with Report Painter.
    For these sample reports, you should focus on the tables that correspond to the SAP application areas with which you are working. The examples shown in this section have been created in Release 4.6C.
    Sample Report for Gross Profit Margin
    Bungee Corporation wants to use Report Painter to create a gross margin report. This Profit Center Accounting report uses data table GLPCT. The desired PCA report displays the gross margin for each profit center.
    Below is an illustration of the completed gross margin report.
    Prerequisites to Creating a Report with Report Painter
    Before you can create a report with Report Painter, you need to:
    •     Determine the table
    •     Find the library
    •     Create sets
    •     Create variables
    The following sections explain these prerequisites.
    Determine the Table
    Before you can start creating the report, you must decide on the table you need to use. In this example, we use table GLPCT in Profit Center Accounting.
    Find the Library
    Determine the library you want to use for the desired table.
    If you need to create a library, on the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
    •     From the navigation menu, choose SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report Writer → Library → Create.
    •     In the Command field, enter transaction GR21 and choose  .
    In our example, we use existing library 8A2 for creating a report.
    Create Sets
    Create the required sets for your report. To create a set, on the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
    •     From the navigation menu, choose SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report Writer → Set → Create.
    •     In the Command field, enter transaction GS01 and choose  .
    Note that this procedure is not necessary for creating the report given in the example that follows.
    Create Variables
    Create any variables for the fields that must be entered before the report is executed. To create a variable, on the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
    •     From the navigation menu, choose SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report Writer → Variable → Create.
    •     In the Command field, enter transaction GS11 and choose  .
    Note that this procedure is not necessary for the sample report in the next section.
    Creating a Report with Report Painter
    When you are ready to create the report using Report Painter, use the following steps.
    Example Task: Creating a report using Report Painter
    1.     On the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
    o     From the navigation menu, choose: SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report → Create.

    c.     Choose Create.
    1.     
    To help you better understand how to create a report in Report Painter, the next procedures explain the varying substeps. You can either:
    o     Define the rows (or rows with a formula)
    o     Define the columns (or columns with a formula)
    o     Define the general data selection
    Define Rows
    Example Task: Defining rows (including defining a row with a formula)
    To start defining the rows, on the Report Painter: Create Report screen, double click on Row
    On the Element definition: Row1 dialog box:
    a.     To include characteristics in the first row of the report, select the desired characteristics in the Available characteristics frame (for example, Account number)
    b.     Use  to transfer the chosen characteristic to the Selected characteristics frame.
    c.     In From, enter the account number(s) you want to include in the row definition. Either enter to and from values or a group set (for example, the value 800000).
    d.     To enter the row heading, choose
    On the Text maintenance dialog box:
    a.     In Short, enter the desired short text (for example, Revenue).
    b.     To copy the short text into the Medium and Long text fields, choose Copy short text.
    c.     To continue, choose
    On the Element definition: Row1 dialog box:
    a.     To check if the selection is correct, choose  Check.
    b.     To transfer the selection to the row 1 definition, choose Confirm.

    b.     Use  to transfer the chosen characteristic to the Selected characteristics frame.
    c.     In From and To, enter the account number(s) you want to include in the row definition (for example, 400000 and 490000).
    d.     To enter the row heading, choose
    On the Text maintenance dialog box:
    a.     In Short, enter the desired short text (for example, Costs).
    b.     Choose Copy short text to copy the short text into the Medium and Long text fields.
    c.     To continue, choose
    On the Report Painter: Create Report screen:
    a.     You can now choose to add further rows with other required characteristics. In this example, you can create a formula in the third row.
    b.     Double-click on Row 3.
    On the Select element type screen:
                       a. Select Formula as the row element type.
                       b. Choose
    On the Enter Formula screen:
    a.     Enter the formula for Row 3. You can either type it in or use your mouse and the formula components buttons. If you type the formula, do not forget the spaces. In this example, Y001 and Y002 represent Revenue and Costs respectively.
    b.     To check the correctness of the formula, choose  Check.
    c.     Choose
    On the resulting Text maintenance dialog box:
    a.     In Short field, enter the text for the formula field (for example, Gross Marg).
    b.     In Medium and Long fields, enter the required text (for example, Gross Margin).
    c.     Choose  .
    You have now defined three rows (Revenue, Costs, and Gross Margin).
    Define Columns
    Example Task: Defining columns
    On the Report Painter: Create Report screen, double-click on the first column, Column 1.
    On the Select Element Type (not shown) dialog box:
    a.     Select Key Figure with characteristics.
    b.     Choose  .
    On the Element definition: Column 1 dialog box:
    c.     In the Basic Key figure field, use the dropdown to select Amount in company code curr.
    d.     In the Available Characteristics frame, select the desired characteristic for column 1 (for example, Fiscal Year).
    If you want to be prompted for the fiscal year at the time of running the report, you must make this a variable instead of a value.
    e.     Choose  to move the desired characteristic to the selected characteristics frame (for example, Fiscal year).
    f.     Place your cursor in the From value field and select the checkbox to the left under  (variable on/off).
    g.     To view the possible entries for the From field, choose  .
    h.     From the resulting selection dialog box:
         Select a variable from the list of available variables (for example, CYear).
         Choose  .
    i.     On the Element definition dialog box, choose  .
    j.     On the resulting Text maintenance dialog box:
         In Short, enter a text for the column header (for example, Curr Year).
         To copy the short text to Medium and Long text fields, choose the Copy short text button.
         Choose  .
    Now you have defined the column 1 for your report.
    k.     Back on the Element definition dialog box, choose Confirm.
    On the Report Painter: Create Report screen, define column 2 and all other columns you choose to define. You can define these columns either by:
    o     Repeating steps for column 1
    o     Copying columns
    o     Entering a formula that calculates the difference between columns (for example, between Current Year and Prior Year [variable is Pyear] in a column called Variance)
    Adding a column or formula is similar to adding a row formula. After defining the rows and the columns, the screen would appear as follows.
    General Data Selection
    After you define the rows and columns, define the general data selection screen for the report.
    Example Task: Defining the general data selection screen for the report
    1.     On the Report Painter: Create Report screen, from the menu bar, choose Edit → General data selection.
    2.     On the Element definition: General data selection screen:
    a.     From the Available characteristics frame, select the fields to add to the general data selection as shown.
    b.     Choose  to move the selections into the Selected characteristics frame.
    c.     Enter the values for each field. (For example, the standard ledger for PCA is 8A to 8E and the U.S. company code in IDES is 3000. This example is a year-to-date report, so all 12 periods are in the range. The standard Version in PCA is 0, the Record type for actual dollars is 0, and CO is 2000).
    d.     To check the selections, choose  Check.
    e.     To create the definition for the general data selection for the report, choose Confirm.
          3.   On the Report Painter: Change Report screen:
    a.     To save the report, choose 
    To include the report into a report group, choose Environment → Assign report group.
          1.     On the Insert Report in Report Group dialog box:
    a.     In Report group, enter a report group name (for example, ZTGR).
    b.     Choose  .
    2.     On the Create report group dialog box, choose Yes to create and assign to a new report group.
    Display and Execute the Report
    Example Task: Displaying the report you created in the previous steps
    1.     On the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
    o     From the navigation menu, choose: SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report → Display.
    o     In the Command field, enter transaction GRR3 and choose  .
    2.     On the Report Painter: Display Report screen:
    a.     Double-click on your report.
    b.     Review the report display.
    c.     To execute the report, from the application toolbar, choose execute.
    On the Selection screen:

    o     Settings → Summation levels to specify a range of summation levels for which totals will display.
    o     Settings → Print page format to change the layout of the report output.
    5.     To transfer the report to Microsoft Excel or Lotus 123, from the application toolbar, choose  .
    6.     On the Options dialog box, select the radio button of your choice and choose  . Note that for the report to open in Microsoft Excel or Lotus 123, you need to have these applications installed on your PC.
    7.     To get back to the original display of the report, select Inactive on the Options dialog box.
    Understanding the Report List
    After executing a Report Painter report, several additional functions can be applied to the output to make your reports as meaningful as possible. You can:
    •     Sort on each column.
    •     Highlight rows that meet the threshold criteria, for example any amount greater than 6,000.
    •     Drill down from any line item. Drilling down you can access ABAP programs, transaction codes, SAP Queries, drilldown reports, or other Report Painter and Report Writer reports.
    •     Launch SAP Graphics.
    •     Send the report through SAP mail.
    •     Save as an extract to be brought up later.
    •     Expand and collapse rows.
    •     Change the layout settings.
    •     Display the report in Microsoft Excel with office integration.
    hope this gives you an idea, and send me an email to [email protected] i will send you a doc on it,
    if this was helpful then assign points ..

  • Report painter issue regarding break up of gl accounts for rows

    Hi
    I am facing a problem while designing report for balance sheet in report painter. while selecting report format option in formatting option in menu bar system is displaying even zero value rows also. but the problem is for rows which have n number of accounts , it is not showing break up. it is displaying in a single row as a range and its total .
    If i go for " print row option" in formatiing in menu bar, then system is not displaying rows with zero balance in accounts . but i am able to get break up over there.
    I need both 0 balance rows to be displayed in output as well i need breakup for remaining rows also.
    plz suggets me .
    Regards
    Vijay

    Hi vijay kumar,
    You need to explode the charactor of Account Number for the item you want to "show break up".
    In tc: GR32, double click the item you want to "show break up", system popups the screen for changing charactors values, scroll the horizontal scroll bar to right, you will see the column Explode, change the default value "No explode" to "Explode" for the charactor Account Number and save the report. Then you will see the accounts when you run the report again.

  • 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 Sets

    Hi friends,
    I have a query regarding report painter using single dimension sets.What i need is to create financial report for  Mexico and  Spain. The financial statement verision or the reporting structure of GL accounts is different in both these FSV's.
    So if the user selects a particular financial statement version, say MEX for Mexico in the report painter general data selection the report should display  as per MEX structure.
    I think its possible to declare single dimension sets FSV1 with basic set as assets,liabilites..and so on as per financial statement version of Mexico.
    Similarly another FSV2 as per financial statement version structure of Spain.
    But how the system will select the required set based on the FSV selected by the user? Is it possible to give two sets in single report painter  row line item?
    Hope i am clear, please correct me if i am wrong.
    thanks
    Nellikka

    If you create the entirety of the account reporting hierarchy within the single dimension sets, you could be sure that the set is also defined in the reporting row as a hiearchy and variable with one of the sets as a default.
    When the user goes to execute the report, or via reporting variants, they can simply replace the default MEX single dimension set with Spain's single dimension set and it will utilize that to drive the hierarchy of the same row.
    If for formatting purposes, however, you need to break that out into multiple report rows, then this becomes slightly more challenging.  As long as you can at least keep the highest groupings of major accounts, though you can do it even if it means having multiple single dimension sets to default and have for replacement when executing the report (or via the program variant).
    This all assumes the use of Report Painter (GR55) for execution and not the FI Financial Statement Version.
    I hope I've understood and helped.  (Please assign points if so).

  • Report Painter Questions

    Hello,
    I am new to SAP and this forum and have been put in charge of report development for Finance for our organization.  I have been delving into report painter on my own with no official training on it and have a few questions I can't seem to find answers to.  I was hoping someone here could help.
    1.     What is the limit to the number of columns in a report painter report?
    2.     How do I get a literal in the body of a report?  In other words, I just want text to appear in one of the lines as a label which would mark different sections of the report.
    3.     Can I get both p&l activity and balance sheet balances (not activity) in the same column of a report painter report?
    4.     Is there a way to take report painter reports and import them into an already existing formatted template so that they look nice when printed?
    5.     How do I get headers to show up in the Excel option of report painter reports?
    6.     How can I get period end dates to print in reports?
    Thank you to anyone who can help.
