Displaying Cumulative Balances in BA Balance Sheet Report Painter Reports

Dear SAP Gurus,
The system has Business Area Balance Sheet reports created in Report Painter. But in General Data Selection when I select period as a full fiscal year then the cumulative balances are shown. But if I wish to see the reports for a period or a quarter the opening balances for that period are not shown. And only the figures pertaining to that period are shown. Can someone tell me why this is happening like this? I wish to see the cumulative balances even for these periods. Please help me.

Hi
You can achieve through SELECTIONS. do like this suppose you have the line item called Inventory(this inventory will capture the data from two or three GL accounts say ex: 123,456,789).you can create the selection with the name inventory and use these GLaccounts in that.when you see the report it will show
Invantory            $1000
Share Capital     $2000
Deposits            $3000
when drill down it will shoe GL account wise also.

Zero balance display in report painter reports

Hi all,
I have an issue with some report painter reports where the "print zero balances" flag is switched on in both the report and the section layouts, however the accounts are still not appearing on the report.
The accounts do not have any postings in the current year and the Bal carried fwd was zero in all profit centres but my client would still like to see a zero value on the report. Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Phil.

Also, when I display the balance of the accounts that appear on the report in FAGLB03, I get a screen showing a zero balance in all periods.
When I display the balance of the accounts which do not appear on the report in FAGLB03, i get the message that "no data exists for fiscal year 2009".
I have tried re-running the balance carry fwd transaction but this has had no affect.
please help!
Thanks
Phil.

Opening Balances in Report Painter Report

Dear All,
We have created a Cash Flow Statement using Report Painter. We are getting all the current year transactional figures correct but we are not getting the Opening balances.
We have defined 3 columns as below:
1. Fiscal year
2. Balance Sheet
3. Net Difference
In the column Balance Sheet, the Opening Balances are not getting reflected.
Request all to help.
Thanks,
Shalin Shah

HI,
so its not a report painter report but a drilldown report (based on New GL data).
Please check SAPNET note 878539 what to do if balance carryforward values are missing (in the form definition).
Guess it is caused by the period from definition which needs to be set as "000" (as this "zero" period contains the balance carry forward values).
best regards, Christian

Display Profit Center & GL Account in 2 Seperate Columns in Report Painter Report

Hello All,
I am building a Report Painter Report for Inventory Balances. As psrt of my requirement I have to display GL Account & Profit Center ina different Column & their Balances for each month on this Current Fiscal Period. As/of now I am only able to have both GL Account & Profit Center in the Same Lead Column? And it is perfect if I look on the Report but when I download all the GL Account & Profit Center are not seperated with Color, so it becomes confusing. I need to have execlty the Report as Same Format S_PL0_86000030.
How can this be achievable? Thanks for your valuable input?

the account is probably in account group or set. Look for that one in report painter and then go to the set or account group and remove/add the account.

Data for Report Painter report

Hi Gurus,
I have a report painter report S_ALR_87013019 . This uses the
Library 602 (gr23), report - 60BU-001 (GRR3).
Need to create a regular report based on this, Can you Please tell from which tables the values are getting retrieved by this report painter report, or in general on how to trace back the tables used by the report painter.
Also if it uses Set ID as inputs for fetching data, is there a way to get the setid/setclass value.
Thanks,

Hi
The As on Date balance cant be cumulated...
Eg; you bought inventory worth 10 million in Current year and as of now you have 4 million worth of inventory in stock
Cumulated bal in this case is 10 mil and As on Date balance is 4 million... 4 million is what you will get in SAP reports
The same Key figure which shows values in comp code currency can be used

Contents of Formula (Sumaary) of Report painter report

We have a report painter report for Balance sheet. The Cost of goods section is summarized with several GL accounts belows. The COGS section is detailed as formula . A certain GL account that is listed as part of COGS doesnot seem to getting added to the COGS(which is using formula).
How do I know what is in the formula?

Under formula, you will see something like Y037 + Y036 + Y040. Look for the numbers under formula line in the formula components and then write down the descriptions for these lines.
Now, locate these descriptions in the report by double clicking on the rows to get the sets.
Those descriptions are likely to be sets. Enter these descriptions one by one in transaction code: GS03 to determine the G/L account numbers under the various descriptions.

Profit center group number on the report painter report.

Hi,
We have a client requirement where we have to develop Profit center by Functional Area report by using report painter report functionality, however we are able to bring profit center group description on to the report as per the requirement, but not able to get profit center group number displayed on the report.
Can anyone please advice me if we can get the Profit center group number displayed on the report in Report painter report. Else let me know if we can get the requirement met by an ABAPER.

Hi.
First of all, through transaction GS01 create a set ID for profit centers.
Give table GLPCT, let the set type be the default (basic set) and give field name RPRCTR. Then define the range of profit centers you want. If you want all the profit centers give * in the "from value field".
Then create a variable through transaction GS11. Give table and field as above, choose variable type set and at the default set field choose the set you created.
Finally, at report painter go to Edit/General Data Selection and select profit center.
Check both flags (for entering sets and variables) and give at the form field the variable you've made.
Now the progit center group will be available in the selection screen with default value the set you've made.

Line Items missing in report painter report..

Hi guri's,
Iam uisng customized P&L report painter report using with library 1VK....in this report some line items are not shwoing..... how to solve it...
regars
JK

After you've create a P&L report using the report painter, you would also have to create line item reports for example 'Receiver- Profit Center Line Items' and then assign these line items reports under 'Report/Report Interface' in the P&L report.
How to do this:
1. After creating the line item report(s), use transaction code GR52 which is for change report group. Enter the P&L report group and click enter.
2. Under 'Report/Report Interface', click on 'configure' under assigned report to library.
3. In the pop-up screen, click on the green plus sign "Insert Row"
4. Another screen will pop-up. Enter the report group for the line items report and enter.
5. Save
6. Regenerate your report group. After regeneration, execute.
7. Drill-down in the displayed P&L report to the line items.
Don't hestitate to ask for further clarifications.

Report painter report in portal - Excel output in SAP GUI for HTML

Dear sirs,
I need your expertize. I would like to let my users display (Excel in place)/ save the result of my report painter reports into MS Excel. I have found notes 499262 a 314568, but didn´t understand the message (or there is no message:)). Does that mean I cannot use Excel in place together with Report painter and SAP GUI for HTML?
Second question: is there a place (user exit in generated code? I don´t even know what I am looking for) to get the data provided by the report painter engine and send the retrieved data to some custom function (to be able to call the Adobe form, to save it as a text file or any option how to manipulate the resulting data...?).
thank you for your time and effort,
regards Otto

Hi Otto,
You can send print the report to the spool and then use RSTXPDFT4 program to convert this spool to PDF file. Alternatively, you can export the spool to spreadsheet or ASCII file via SP01 transaction.
Additinally, I'm not aware of unability to use Excel output with SAP GUI interface.

Eli

Supress the -ve sign in report painter report - VERY URGENT

Hi
In a report painter report, can anybody please let me know how to display a negative value, for example, "-1234.56" as "(1234.56)".
IT IS VERY URGENT

Check If value is less than 0,
then replace '-' with space ( to remove the '-' from the right end) and then Concatenate '-' and value into a variable.

Report Painter/ Report writer

Hi,
Report Writer enables you to report on data from multiple applications. Using functions such as sets, variables, formulas, cells and key figures, you can create complex reports that meet specific reporting requirements.
The Report Painter is similar to the Report Writer, but is simpler to use.The main components of report painter are characterestics and basic key figure.
The majority of reports end users use in the R/3 System is Report Painter reports. Most of these reports (@ 80+ %) began as Report Writer reports.
The major difference is Report Painter uses a graphical interface (analogous to Notepad and MS Word).
Very few R/3 users employ Report Writer however, many still use, modify and develop reports using Report Painter. Report Painter permits complex groupings and drill-down reporting very useful for such applications as FI-CO and SD. It can also be used interactively allowing users to enter variables for specific steps; thereby permitting drill-across' functionality.
However, Report Painter does have its limitations; it can display only numeric data (excluding column headers) therefore, short text, etc. is not available. It is much easier (quicker) to modify than ABAP and requires no ABAP expertise however, many combine Report Painter with ABAP reports to fill-in many of the missing pieces. Layout design is archaic and rudimentary ~ therefore; many use Report Painter to retrieve and massage the data' and eventually export it into Excel for end use.

Reg:report painter reports adding into sap menu

HI all,
HI all
How to add reports painter reports in sap menu.?
regards
JK Rao

Hi, Janardhan Rao & all other Readers of SAP Net work site,
    Private nodes
           Private nodes are no longer supported in the area menus and are
           not taken into account during migration. As a replacement, the
           favorites are available in the Easy Access.
    Including of own report trees in the menu structure
           In order to include your own area menus generated from the report
           trees into the displayed menu, you can either include the menus
           as enhancements in the SAP Menu or include them into the menu of
           a role. To do this, read the documentation on Transactions SE43
           and PFCG.
    Client dependency of the report trees
           If you have used different report trees for different clients,
           you can carry out the migration several times in the
           corresponding clients. As a result, you receive several
           cross-client area menus.
    Further information
           Also read the Release information BC_46_REPTREEMIG2. You find
           this information in every system under Help -> Release notes ->

Period in report painter report

Hi Experts,
I use a report painter report where certain variables are used.
In report, I have two columns. First column shows details of current period and second column shows immediate prior period.
Say 1st column shows details of period 2, 2011 then 2nd column shows period 1, 2011.
Here, the problem I am facing is, if I execute for period 1, 2011 u2013 I expect period 1 of 2011 in column 1 and period 12, 2010 in column 2 u2013 but in 2nd column, instead of period 12, it shows heading as period u20180u2019 and no details are displayed. This is happening only if I execute for period 1. From period 2 onwards its fine.
The variables I used in column 1 and 2 are
Column 1
     Fiscal year : Variable u2018ZYEARu2019
     Period : ZPERTO
Column 2
     Fiscal year : Variable u2018ZYEARu2019
     Period : ZPERT-1
Details of formula variables
ZYEAR: From field (GLPCT- RYEAR) with formula (IF '#S006' = 1 THEN '#S001' - 1 ELSE '#S001')
ZPERTO: From field (GLPCT- RPMAX) with formula (IF '#S006' = 1 THEN 12 ELSE '#S006' u2013 1)
ZPERT-1: From field (GLPCT- RPMAX) with formula ('ZPERTO' -1), also Internal variable check box is checked in this variable.
Could someone explain me how to solve this. I would like to se the system right with minimum changes because these variables are used in some other reports too. So would like to make the thing possible with minimum changes.
Thanks.

Hi,
Create 2 more variables and use this formula.
Variable 1: ZYEAR (Fiscal Year) RYEAR u2192 '#S001'
Variable 2: ZPERT (Period) RPMAX u2192 '#S002'
Variable 3: ZPERT-1 (Period -1) RPMAX
IF 'ZPERT' > 1 THEN 'ZPERT' - 1
       ELSE 12
Variable 4: ZYEAR-1(Year for Period-1) RYEAR
IF 'ZPERT-1' < 'ZPERT' THEN 'ZYEAR'
                                    ELSE 'ZYEAR' - 1
Use the Variables
1.ZYEAR & 2.ZPERT for Current Month.
3.ZYEAR-1 & 2.ZPERT-1 for Previous Month.
Hope it solves your problem.
