Hi Experts,
What is the difference between  Forms and Report painter reports? (My understanding is that Forms for PCA and Report painter for Cost Center).
Could also any one provide me the like related to SAP Documents to create Report Painter & Forms reports
Thanks in Advance

<b>Form painter</b> is a term used in SAP Smart form context

<b>Report painter</b>
A tool for creating reports that meet specific business and reporting requirements.
The Report Painter enables you to report on data from various applications. It uses a graphical report structure that forms the basis for the report definition. When defining the report, you work with a structure that corresponds to the final structure of the report when the report data is output.
The SAP System is delivered with several row and column models that can be used as building blocks to help you create reports quickly and simply.

  • Difference between class report and interactive report

    please give me the differences between  classical report and interactive report

    Hi,read the following :
    In ABAP, there are a total of 7 types of reports. They are:
    Classical Reports
    Interactive Reports
    Logical Database Reports
    ABAP query
    ALV Reports (ALV stands for ABAP List Viewer)
    Report Writer/Report Painter
    Views (There are different types of views also)
    Classical Reports
    These are the most simple reports. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.
    Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT
    Interactive Reports
    As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
    And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
    We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).
    Logical Database Reports
    Logical database is another tool for ABAP reports. Using LDB we can provide extra features for ABAP reports.
    While using LDB there is no need for us to declare Parameters.
    Selection-screen as they will be generated automatically.
    We have to use the statement NODES in ABAP report.
    ABAP Query Reports
    ABAP query is another tool for ABAP. It provides efficency for ABAP reports. These reports are very accurate.
    Transaction Code : SQ01
    Report Writer / Report painter
    Super users and end users can use Report Painter/Report Writer tools to write their own reports.
    Giving them the ability to report on additional fields at their discretion shifts the report maintenance burden to them, saving SAP support groups time and effort normally spent creating and maintaining the reports.
    ALV reports
    Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
    In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
    The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
    There is no difference between drill down and interactive report, they are the same.
    With drilldown reporting, SAP provides you with an interactive information system to let you evaluate the data collected in your application. This information system is capable of analyzing all the data according to any of the characteristics that describe the data. You can also use any key figures you wish to categorize your data. You can display a number of objects for a given key figure, or a number of key figures for a given object. In addition, the system lets you carry out any number of variance analyses (such as plan/actual comparisons, fiscal year comparisons, comparisons of different objects, and so on).
    *More on Classical Vs Interactive*
    Classical Reports
    These are the most simple reports. Programmers learn this one first. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.
    Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT.
    Events In Classical Reports.
    INTIALIZATION: This event triggers before selection screen display.
    AT-SELECTION-SCREEN: This event triggers after proccesing user input still selection screen is in active mode.
    START OF SELECTION: Start of selection screen triggers after proceesing selection screen.
    END-OF-SELECTION : It is for Logical Database Reporting.
    Interactive Reports
    As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
    And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
    We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).
    Events associated with Interactive Reports are:
    1. AT LINE-SELECTION
    2. AT USER-COMMAND
    3. AT PF<key>
    4. TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION.
    HIDE statement holds the data to be displayed in the secondary list.
    sy-lisel : contains data of the selected line.
    sy-lsind : contains the level of report (from 0 to 21)
    Interactive Report Events:
    AT LINE-SELECTION : This Event triggers when we double click a line on the list, when the event is triggered a new sublist is going to be generated. Under this event what ever the statements that are been return will be displayed on newly generated sublist.
    AT PFn: For predefined function keys...
    AT USER-COMMAND : It provides user functions keys.
    TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION :top of page event for secondary list.

    Visual Composer is a model-driven development tool that allows business experts to create and adapt analytical and free-styled applications without writing code. Visual Composer 7.0 is the General Availability (GA) release; Visual Composer 6.0 introduced the freestyle model-to-code creation of analytical appli- cations and it was intended as a preview tool for evaluation purposes.
    Visual Composer now connects to SAP NetWeaver BI via a Remote Function Call (RFC) rather than a Web service connection. The resulting communication between the portal and SAP NetWeaver BI works faster, especially in cases of large query results. With these added functionalities, users can create more user-friendly, powerful analytical applications using Visual Composer, such as Executive Dashboards.
    Visual Composers Features -

    New Features of Visual Composer 7.0
    Visual Composer 7.0 is part of SAP NetWeaver Portal in SAP NetWeaver 2004s. This release focuses on SAP Analytics and offers significant changes from the previous Visual Composer release. The most notable changes include:
    Visual Composer now runs on the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Engine of SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS). Therefore, you no longer need Internet Information Services (IIS) 5, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and Microsoft .NET Framework.
    Visual Composer now can generate iViews for Web Dynpro (the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces) and Adobe Flash Player 8 or higher in SAP NetWeaver Portal. You can create Internet applications by integrating Adobe Flex Server and Web Dynpro.
    Visual Composer now integrates BI content from SAP or non-SAP systems using BI Java Connectors (part of BI Universal Data Integration 7.0).

  • Cost difference between PM report MCI8 and IW38 orders cost

    Hi Experts!
    I have an issue of cost difference  between Plant Maintenance total actual cost of orders and Cost analysis report.
    Short Text    
    Cost difference between PM report MCI8 and IW38 orders cost   
    Long Text    
    Applied SAP notes 180047 and 112841 for the following error:
    Cost is not displaying in MCI8 for every 3 months intervals.
    Now this problem has been resolved but got an another error like cost
    difference between MCI8 report and IW38 order costs.
    Note applied method:-
    1). Configured FYV as Z1 with Period update for info structures S61 to
    S65, S70, S114 to S116.
    2). Regenerate order cost in Tcode OLI5.
    3). PMIS: Statistical setup of info structures T.Code u2013 OLPM
    For Info Structures which is changed in the configuration SO61-SO65,
    SO70, S114-S116.
    4). Copy info structures Version &( to Active version 000 T.Code u2013 OLIX,
    Select Copy version
    For all info Structure SO61-SO65, SO70, S114-S116.
    *Steps for Reconstruction*    
    New another error like cost difference between MCI8 report and IW38
    order costs.
    Step 1. Transaction- MCI8, Order type - CORR, Period -01.2009 to
    12.2009 and execute
    Step 2. Drilldown the corrective maintenance order costs into period
    wise.
    Step 3. Transaction- IW38, Order type Corr, Period -01.2009 to 12.2009,
    Currency - EUR and execute
    Cost differences: E.g. Example A)
                                   MCI8                                 IW38
    Total costs             8.041,69                           5.544,99
    of WOs               18                                     18
    So far my view is that, regardless of the selection criteria or the
    output layout, predominantly the costs are different.
    I would expect that they are equal. And what the right result are,..u2026Iu2019m
    not sure.
    Regards,
    Santhamoorthy

    Hello,
    Sometimes this difference comes because of the selection period which we are choosing.
    Try to run IW38 once with the help of Basic start and basic finish dates of the order.
    And after that with the help of the period with the same dates range.
    You will get the difference also.
    the reason is that whenever any Posting is done in the previous month PM order the system changes the basic start date and when you select the current period and execute IW38 it shows the whole cost incurred on the order including all previous cost.
    But in MCI8 it does not happen because MCI8 is run through LIS structures. And in this report only the current month cost will be shown by the system.
    I hope you got the idea about differences.
    Regards
    Naveen

  • Difference between Interactive report and ALV Interactive report.

    What is the difference between Interactive report and ALV Interactive report.
    i think there is no much difference the same Interactive report Events and functionality we will implement with ALV.
    Experts guide me.

    Hi,
    ALV interactive report gives many advantages than interactive report like sorting, summing and getting graphics.
    An interactive report generally basic list displayed. User double clicks on any valid line or user selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar. Then the corresponding event is triggered

  • Difference between Crsytal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4

    difference between Crystal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0?
    I think Crystl Reprt 2011 has more function, is it right?

    Hi,
    I recently attended a SAP Virtual trianing on SAP Business Objects BI 4.0.
    Here are few extracts from that which probably shows some light to you:
    SAP Crystal Reports 2011
    1. UI and associated processing servers remain the same as CR 2008
    2. Incremental update to CR 2008 with a few new features*
    3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
    1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
    2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
    3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
    Differences between these two releases:
    Data Source & Usage Type                                       General Recommendation
    1. SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0                                        SAP Crystal Reports Relational Universe (UNX) for Enterprise
    OLAP Universe (UNX)
    2. SAP NetWeaver BW 7 BEx Query (BICS)                    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
    3. SAP NetWeaver BW 3.5 BEx Query                             SAP Crystal Reports 2011
    4. SAP Profitability Cost Management                              SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise through Analysis View
    SAP Strategy Management
    SAP Budget, Planning and Consolidation
    SAP Extended Analytics
    5. Platform Driven Alerting                                                SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
    6. Business Views                                                           SAP Crystal Reports 2011
    7. Direct RDBMS or OLAP access                                    SAP Crystal Reports 2011

  • Difference between Form Interface and Global definitions in Smartforms.

    Hi guys!
    I'm learning about Smartforms.
    I would like to know which is the difference between Form Interface from the Global Settings and Global Definitions from Global settings as well, because in both of them I have to declare tables, structures, variables, etc. Could you please explain to me when should I use them?
    Thanks!
    Gaby

    Two ways to use Smart Form:
    1.     by using Application Program
    2.     By coding in Smart form itself.
    Now, if the 1st method is used then same interface can be used  for multiple requirements. For eg two different programs Z1 and Z2, may use same interface. Hence a lot of efforts are reduced.
    On the other side in 2nd method, multiple forms have to be created to fulfill different requirements.
    Now, Global Definiton is something that is irrespective of which Program is being used, the form nodes can use the Global definition in all cases.
    Also all tables etc must be declared in the Global setting.

    Sana

  • Difference between form and shop paper

    Hi Guys,
    I want to know the difference between Form, smart form and shop paper.
    Our problem is one form is there, so user want to modify the form with some changes, they have provided the form name.
    i have checked in the customization and able to find only shop paper related data.
    Could you please suggest me how to find the forms.
    Is there any customization available to link the forms with shop papers?
    Thanks for reply.
    Joshita

    Hi,
    A shop paper is a combination of print program and form.
    Look at customizing transaction OIDA, Use this to adjust what form is used by a particular shop paper. Transaction SE71 can be used to adjust the form.
    Do not adjust standard forms (PM_COMMON, etc), make a copy and adjust your own version.

    Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my  complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..
