Financial Report Template- Calculation error

Hi All
I have developed a template for Profit and Loss Statement by using
Financial report Template
Under operating expenses heading i am having following heads
F&B consumption
Non-F&B Consumption
Gas Fuel ...
Operating Expenses value i am getting is wrong due to the following reason
F&B consumption calculates ( F&B consumption= F&B Opening Stock+ F&B
Purchase- F&B Closing Stock)
I need to add a formula to find F&B Consumption that is coming under F&B
Consumption head
Non-F&B consumption calculates (Non- F&B consumption= Non-F&B Opening
Stock+ Non-F&B Purchase- Non-F&B Closing Stock)
I need to add a formula to find Non-F&B Consumption that is coming under
Non-F&B Consumption head
For calculation from the system
In the present calculation the Operating expenses is derived by adding
the closing stock value as just an other expense head instead of
subtracting the same and also by ignoring the subtotal which actually
refers to the calculation (Consumption=Opening stock+Purchase-Closing Stock)
Calculation Expecting
We need the Operating expenses to either consider the subtotals to add
for the expenditure or the closing stock value needs to be reduced from
the Expenses.
Please help to solve the issue

This error usually means the workspace agent is not up and running or can't be connected, are you sure that workspace is definitely up and running and you can log into workspace.

Hi
To compile financial reports, the system needs a template that specifies the structure of the report. You must define these financial report templates in advance.
For some countries SAP Business One delivers templates that you can use to create your own financial report templates. An alternative is to copy the structure of your chart of accounts and then make any necessary changes to it. You can use the financial report templates to compile balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and trial balance reports (totals and balances of G/L accounts and business partner accounts).
Balance Sheet u2013 The system proposes the accounts in the Assets group as assets (active) accounts; the system proposes the accounts in the Liabilities group and the Capital and Reserves group as liability (passive) accounts. You can change these proposals on the highest levels of your financial report template. The system automatically displays the profit or loss for the period (Profit Period).
Profit and Loss Statement u2013 The system proposes the accounts in all the other groups (Turnover, Cost of Sales, Operating Costs, Non-Operating Income and Expenditure, Taxation and Extraordinary Items) and offers the calculation of subtotals.
Trial Balance u2013 The financial report template can contain the accounts from all groups. It displays the totals of all groups but does not offer any subtotal calculation.
You can create comparison reports that compare the figures from a specific company or fiscal year with those of a different company or fiscal year.
Choose Financials  Financial Reports  Financial and then Balance Sheet or Trial Balance or Profit and Loss Statement to generate these financial reports.
Choose Financials  Financial Report Templates to define and maintain financial report templates.
Editing a financial report template is similar, but not identical to, editing a chart of accounts.
Every financial report template has exactly five levels.
Levels one to four consist of only titles.
The G/L accounts are all located on the fifth level.
If you want the totals of the G/L accounts to be displayed on a higher level, you can make the higher titles invisible by selecting the Dummy Title indicator.
You can hide G/L accounts if you donu2019t want them to be displayed.
In a financial report template for balance sheets, you can let the system automatically transfer accounts to the other side of the balance sheet in case the account balance is negative. To do this, select the Transfer Accounts with Negative Sign indicator and specify the place where the transferred account should be.
In a financial report template for profit and loss statements, the system can insert a subtotal on every level:
Level 1 (level of account groups): Select Automatic Summary to let the system use predefined formulas for the gross profit, operating profit, profit after financing expenses, and profit period.
All levels: You can define your own formulas. Select Totals Formula and choose Formula to enter a formula based on the titles of the same level as the subtotal.

Financial Report Templates - Creation and input of accounts

Hi,
At the time of creating Financial Report Templates, these templates can be very time consuming and tedious to create, as for the inputting of accounts within each account category - filling out one or more details...
It would be helpful to have some kind of tool in which we could associate like in the GL all the sub accounts withing that account.
I hope I have been clear enough,
Regards
Vivek Chand

Hi:
I'm agree with your post, all my customer are very angry with this functionality because the want use wildcards for input the account, if i input 71* the template will show all account which begin with 71.
Now when they create a new account into the financial plan of accounts they must create also into the report templates and this work is hard and spend a lost time in it.

Financial Report Template for Trial Balance

Dear All,
 I was prepared the financial report Template, for trail Balance as per Schedule VI (6) after completation of template i exucute the trail balance by the using of above template.
For the execution of the above report i used the selection cretario i taken as "Annual Report" and i run the report - it has execuatated successfully.
After that i changed my selection cretaria as a "Quartlly" and i run the Report,
but in that report is showing some values , these values not showing in Annual Report.

Hi Atul,
SBO uses two different templates for the Trial Balance Report based on the Period Selection.
Annual Report
Template: CBL1 - Trial Balance
Quaterly, Monthly, etc.
Template: CBL4 - Periodic Trail Balance
So you have probably customised CBL1 (per Schedule VI (6)) which works for Annual.
You have to also customise CBL4 - Periodic Trail Balance the same way so that it can work for the others.

#Error in Formula in Financial Reports in 9.3.3

There are several Financial Reports presenting an error in columns with formulas referencing other cells with No Data values. Although configured to change the NoData in the grid with 0, the formula still returns #ERROR as a result.
I tested to change the formula, checking if the other columns have NonNumeric data, and it worked well. Problem is that in the previous version (9.3.1) it is not necessary to check if the cell has NonNumeric data and the formula always returns 0 if one of the cells referenced by the formula is NoData.
Do I have other way to fix this instead of changing the formula?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the update.
Actually, my problem got resolved. After analyzing the debug file myself, I narrowed down the error as below
Normal flow Formula Processing begin
In ---Routine:QP_PREQ_GRP.Formula_Processing---
PRICING_PHASE_ID: 2
Processing Formula ID :7512
Line Index: 1
Start Formula...
Formula Line Type = ML, Step = 1
Before populating formula stepvalues temp table
Other Exception ORA-01403: no data found
Exception occurred. Formula value returned is
Formula return status: U
Formula Base Price :

And, as per the oracle support note "Error Returned By Qp_formula_price_calc_pvt.Calculate [ID 1282519.1]", after setting the profile value to N, the issue is resolved.

Current Keyword in Formula in Financial Reporting (v. 11)

Can I use the current keyword in a formula? Trying to calculate % of revenue for each account on the rows (periods and scenarios across the columns).
I have accounts set up as Children of.... so formula row reference needs to change dynamically when the users drill in on the HTML report.
ie. [ cur,A ] / [ 7,A ]
Ther Verify is failing on the 'A' but when I run the report it gives a #REF error.
Any solutions or other approach to achieve this are appreciated!

current is valid in formulas, but I don't think you need it in yours. Try just omitting the row, that will force the report to look at the row it is in. There are some funky tricks to dealing with expanding rows.

Create a dynamic formula in Financial Reporting Studio

Hello,
this is my issue: i'd like to create a formula that reference dynamicly to a cell, so if i add a new row (and the first cell changes) i don't have to change the formula .
Ex.
formula: =cell[28,A] * 100
if i add a row the cell[28,A] become [29,A] and the formula changes his value and i don't want it!
i hope my request is quite clear.
thanks for helping
Andrea

Hi
Good question? I think, there is a solution.
You can use the concept of multiple grid here.
Please keep the referred grid at one place and use another grid where you want the formulas.

Zero Balance title accounts appearing on financial reports

Hi All
Is there anyway of not showing a title account with a zero balance when you run a Trial Balance, P&L or a balance sheet.
I know that you can leave the checkbox unticked in the selection criteria, but this only removes the active accounts from the report.
Thanks

Hi Stuart
A work around is to create a Financial Report Template and set the titles you don't want displayed as "dummy titles". Only problem is when they do have values, the G/L account will display instead of the title. Give it a try and let me know if it helps you.
Kind regards
Peter Juby

Financial Reports-Summary based on external code

Hi,
Is it possible to select different accounts from different drawer to show the summarized report.
Scenario. in the Chart of Accounts we define different account number and name.The account may be title or active account.If i define an external code which can be duplicated for different accounts in multiple drawers,can i see a report which can group accounts based on these external codes.
I think it can be done with financial report template but if i choose B/S template i can't group profit/loss account similarly P/L template i can't chose
Please suggest the solution
Thanks and Regards
md.nazeer shaikh

Error: This entry already exists in the Financial Report Table OFRT..

Hi ,
The above error appears only when we try to create any kind of templates in the database.
Last time this error appeared when trying to create Profit and Loss Statement using Financial Report Templates.
As a result i had to use copy express to copy over the template from one database to another.
This solved the issue.
But now on trying to create a cost center hierarchy, (template to design profit center) we face the same error as mentioned in the subject line.
What could be the reason?
I tried to create a new financial report template as well, it prompts for the same error.
Kindly revert with your comments.
Regards.

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your reply!
Can you let me know how to log an issue with SAP helpdesk.
Currently our consultants are logging issues on our behalf.
But this process takes long...
Please comment.

Rounding in Financial Reports

I am using the following formula in financial reports, Round([9],1), but it does not round the results. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
Edited by: GCAPO on Aug 23, 2010 8:11 AM

If your reports aren't footing correctly, you could potentially use the truncate function:
Examples:
The following statement uses a positive integer of 2. The first two digits to the right of the decimal
point remain, and the following digit is removed:
Trunc(234.567, 2) = 234.56
The following statement uses a zero (0) integer. All digits to the right of the decimal point are
removed:
Trunc(234.567, 0) = 234
The following statement uses a negative integer of -2. All digits to the right of the decimal point
are removed and the last 2 digits of the integer are truncated.
Trunc(234.567, -2) = 200
