I have a question about General Data Selection in Report Painter

Please help me out. Thi is the question....here it goes.
In a Report in ReportPainter, I have in the General Data Selection the following selected characteristics. They are:
Ledger = 0
Record Type = 0
Version = 1
Fiscal Year = Z-ANOACT
Period = (1CPERIV, 1CPERIB)
So that we have the next screen in the Reports execution.
Fiscal Year : 2006
From Period : 1
To Period : 12
Note:
*Z-ANOACT = Variable so that with a user-exit calculates the actual year. Right now is 2006.
*1CPERIV = This From-Period Variable is referenced to CCSS Table and PERBL Field Name. Its default value is 1.
*1CPERIB = This To-Period Variable is referenced to CCSS Table and PERBL Field Name.
Its default value is 12. Rigth now, we are in the fiscal month 5 (November).
Id like to filtrate information from January,2006,Period:07 to November,2007,Period:05.
I mean I work with the fiscal calendar because the information to get from the table is saved due to this calendar.
The Fiscal Calendar is from July to June:
Month          Period     Year
January          07     2006
February     08     2006
March          09     2006
April          10     2006
May          11     2006
June          12     2006
July          01     2007
Augost          02     2007
September     03     2007
October          04     2007
November     05     2007
December      06     2007
Right now, we are in November , 2006 (month=11) but according to the fiscal calendar we are in November, 2007 (month=5).
How I can accommodate my variables or what I am doing wrong so that I can select information from periods 7 to 12, 2006 ( January to June, 2006) and information from periods 1 to 5, 2007 (July to November, 2007) having the screen cited above so that report painter adds the 2 ranges.
I cannot do it with the criteria selection cited above because I only have a year and a range of periods and my end-user doesnt want to run my report twice:
One run with periods 7 to 12, 2006 and
Another run with periods 1 to 5, 2007 and then to add the 2 reports in excel to form a report.
Hed like something in my screen like this
Fiscal Year = 2006
From period = 7
To Period = 12
Fiscal Year = 2007
From period = 1
To Period = 5
And then report painter will add the 2 ranges.
Many Thanks if you know anything that can help me, please let me know.

ABDUL: I understand the ABAP Code but the information is saved in the table according to the fiscal calendar.
Fiscal Calendar Number of the MonthYear

December            6                    2007
Normally, We are in November 2006 (month=11, year 2006).
However, fiscally; We are November 2007 (month=5, year=2007).
Important Notes:
     The information is saved according to the fiscal calendar in the table.
     My end-user wants to filtrate the information from January to November . I mean
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
I understand you told me about the ABAP code, for example my characteristics in the general data selection are:
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period: 7
To       Period: 5   (I would have an error here because From-Period Variable is greater than To-Period Variable)
According the ABAP code you told me, this would be:
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period: 1
To       Period: 11
If I run the report with these last parameters you told me, report painter only would add information from year 2006 and fiscal months 1 to 11 (July to May except June). We dont want this, that we want is :
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
How can I do this?? My email is [email protected] or [email protected]
Right now, the end-user runs the report twice and adds the information in excel. One run for :
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period:      7
To       Period:     12
And other run with:
Actual Year   : 2007
From    Period:      1
To        Period:       5
But the question is how you can do it with only a run and in this way:
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
Thanks if someone can help me!!

Generate Data selection in Report Painter using Z fields

Hi all,
I had created Customer specific fields in project definition and now i want to use them in PS reporting.
I did what note 929889 say to do that, i created structure CI_CC1S and included my Z fileds. Then i entered GRCT and create a new entry: CCSS in field table and in Field name ZZDEPARTAMENTO.
I went to GR22 and modify 6P3 library to check this new characteristics.
In report writer i created the variable with a set , execute report and may new field appears in selection screen, the problem is that the program SAFK21R doesn't consider my new field in the selection so the display is wrong... what is missing? CAn any one help with this issue?
I think it's because structure CCR1S is empty in the Z fields.... what i need to create to report recognize z field as selection options.
Best Regards
Lina

Vbund in general data selection ( report writer)

Hi
I wanted to add to general data selection in report field Trading Partner.
I did following actions:
1. Created copy of library 1VK
2. Added to this copied library ( let's call it ZVJ) characteristic VBUND
3. In grr2 I inserted into ZVJ report 1SIP-001.
4. Now I want to add selection field trading partner in this report. I added trading partner to general data selection but when click on search help to add value that allows me to choose trading partner i got following message:
How can i create a report for CO postings that will use vbund?

Hi Jan,
Reporting Library 1VK use the standard CO Structure VBUND and be aware that
the field VBUND can be activated in the line item reporting but not in the Report Writer Reporting (table CCSS). In particular, no set can be created for field VBUND.This is standard limitation.
The reason is the Report Writer always takes the field catalogue from the control entries for CO Strucrure CCSS from the Report Writer summary Table - T804E.
In the default setting, the fields are taken from structure CCR1Z because the indicator L/F is marked only for them. Since CCR1Z does not contain the field VBUND that's the reason why system can not create any set for the field - VBUND.So it is correct that you might find the field - VBUND in the CCSS Structure however you can not use this field as a part of report painter report in this library.
Thanks & Regards

EC-CS report writer report: what sets to use in general data select/cols?

I am about to write Report Writer reports using table FIMC. In the rows I will use a set that includes the whole balance sheet structure. What do I put in general data selection or columns? I need to know the ids of the (standard?) sets...

2. Fiscal Year.
3. From and To Period.

Select Options, Report Painter

How can I create "Select Options" for a variable in the "General Data Selection" of the report painter screen.
Thank You.

If you specify selection parameters for several years and periods in a
    Report Writer or Report Painter report, the characteristics year and
    period are taken into account independent of each other.
    A report with the selections:
           From-year   :    1997
           To-year     :    1999
           From-period :     003
           To-period   :     008
    will hence select all the following data:
            003/1997 .. 008/1997, 003/1998 .. 008/1998, 003/1999 .. 008/1999
     This is the standard behavior of Report Writer and Report Painter
     reports.
     However, reports which directly display the data for the period
            003/1997 ............................................. 008/1999
     are required in some cases.
     You can achieve this in the report definition using the following
     procedure.
     Additional key words
     several years several periods GS274
     rolling periods, rolling
           SUPPORTGUIDE 20010330131459
     REPORTWRITER, SGRW_DOCU_CONS_NOTE,
     SGRW_OM SGRW_PS SGRW_PC SGRW_SL SGRW_PCA SGRW_EC SGRW_LIS
     Cause and prerequisites
     This is a standard behavior of the Report Writer.
     Solution
     A procedure is described below to implement the selection over a period
     of several years and periods. This is merely an example which should
     serve as a support for experienced users of the Report Painter and
     Report Writer when defining their own reports.
     1. Definition of auxiliary column 1: 'All-periods'
         Period:   0 ... 17
         Year:      From-year .. To-year
         000/1997.....................................................017/1999
         Definition of auxiliary column 2: 'Periods before'
         Period:   0 ... From-period - 1
         Year:      From-year
         000/1997..002/1997
         Definition of auxiliary column 3: 'Periods after'
         Period:    To-period + 1 .. 17
         Year:      To-year
         009/1999..017/1999
         Definition of the formula column:
         Formula = 'All-periods' - 'Periods before' - 'Periods after'
         000/1997.....................................................017/199
         9
         000/1997..002/1997
         009/1999..017/1999
                            003/1997............... 008/1999
         Hide the three auxiliary columns. The formula column now correctly
         shows the required period
                            003/1997............... 008/1999
Note:The new reporting table RWCOOM is also available as of Release 4.0
for reports which were, up to now, defined in table CCSS. RWCOOM
contains the characteristic FISCPER which represents a combination of
year and period. You can directly define reports over several years and
periods using characteristic FISCPER without having to follow the
procedure described above.
Please take into account that you cannot call reports via report
Interfaces in the formula columns (see Note 98187).

Requirement to add new parameter in selection in report painter report

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to add an extra field in Cost center:Act/Plan/Comm CC Cur report.This is otherwise a Z report in report painter with 0% code (T-code : GR55-> Report group->Report).But,when we go to technical information of this report,it has four standard sap programs,which contains code for this selection screen.It does not even have a modification scope.
Selection screen of this report contains following parameters:
Selection values:
Controlling Ar
Fiscal Year
From Period
To Period
Plan Version
Selection Groups:
Cost Center Group
Or value(s)
Cost Element Group
Or value(s)
My requirement is to add one more parameter : Purchase oeder in new block:
Is there any way to achieve it.
Note: Copying the standard progs into custom prog is not working,i already tried that.
Please let me know your suggestions,if any one of you came across such requirement before.it is very impoertant for me.
Thanks in advance,
Meenakshi

Hi,
This report (and all generic reports which are based on the same library) looks on CCSS structure. This structure extracts data from totals tables. Therefore, it's not possible to add the parameter of purchase order, as it's a detail line attribute.

Eli

Due Date Analysis in Report Painter

Hi:
I have a query regarding Report painter FKI1 to FKI6 for Vendor aging analysis. Aging reports build from report enable user to analyze all vendors invoices which are overdue by N of days you specify for every column e.g all invoices overdue btw 0-30, 30-60 and so on but client is requiring an aging report for AP & AR which shows how old an invoice is, our baseline date is document date for all payment terms. e.g we have four columns in report 0-30,30-60,60-90 and >120. If an invoice was created with a document date 25.12.2014 which though not due should appear in 0-30 days. I need to know if its possible within report painter to have such or i will have to go for ABAP.
Thanks

Hello Atif,
Your requirement can be fulfilled by report painter
1- build a form with structure one axis with key figure
2- create required N days columns
3- use characteristic (Due date analysis with value =1) for analysis of line items due.
4- use characteristic (Days for net due date ) with value from/ to N days.
5- define a report with desired characteristics ( vendor, document number ....)
Regarding to you example
define column 0-30 as a sum formula of the following 2 columns
a column "0-30 due" with characteristics
(Due date analysis with value = 1) and
(Days for net due date with value from 0 to 30)
define another one "not due" with characteristics
(Due date analysis with value = 2) and
(Days for net due date with value from 0 to 99999)
for more information you can check the following standard reports delivered by SAP:
AP/ FKI0 >> report 0SAPDUEAN-01 Due Date Analysis for Open Items
AR/ FDI0 >> report 0SAPDUEAN-01 Due Date Analysis for Open Items

Data selection and report generation

Hi,
I want to create a report with information about friends. I have a class like this:
public class friend(){
Date born;
Vector phones;
String name;
I have a collection of friends and I want generate a report with some of them. I want to select those friends that verify some restrictions like this:
- Friends with a born date in a range (ej: from 1960 to 1965)
- Friends with the same work phone
- etc.
My solutions is anything like this:
class FriendFilter(){
Friend from_friend;
Friend to_friend;
boolean filter_born=false; // To say if may be aplicated the filter
boolean filter_phone=false;
My question is if there are any pattern for this. Is this solution the best one?
Thank you in advance.

The filter class might look a little different. You need to pass the collection of Friend objects to the filter class. And then you can have the query methods that filter the Friend objects.
public class FriendFilter {
private Collection friends;
FriendFilter(Collection f) {
this.friends = f;
public Collection sortByBirthYear(int beginYear, int endYear) {
public Collection sortByPhoneNumber(int phoneNum) {
}

Need User friendly message, when there is no data selected in report.

Hi,
Can we able to set user friendly message in place of system generated message in reports, while report generated with no data.
I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0
Thanks,
Archie.

Hi,
Go to your Results tab, and then click on the icon "Edit Analysis Properties" and select "Display Custom Message" from the "No Results Setting" drop down. Here you can edit and have your own custom message.
Hope this Helps you.

Data Selection for report based upon a 'Prompt Value'

I want to report information in my report based upon a 'user input prompt value'
for example:
'Enter Shareholder Selection - A-Active, I-Inactive, B-Both Active and Inactive'
if the user enters 'A', the report selects only active shareholders
if the user enters 'I', the report selects only inactive shareholders
if the user enters 'B' the report selects all shareholders, active and inactive
the field in the database that this based upon is their total share value.
if this field is greater than zero (>0) they are considerd 'active'
if this field is equal to zero (=0) they are considered 'inactive'.
I have tried creating some type of filter, but am not having any luck.
I saw a few examples within the forums that I have tried without any luck....unfortunately most of the examples I've seen are base one only two choices.
I'm sure I need to create some type of 'independant varible' but am not sure how to do that either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Daryl,
I Tried this unsuccessfully in DESKI . We can't Eliminate Rows having Empty Measure Values or Measure with 0 as values using Table Level Filter as FIlter can't FIlter rows based on Prompt value selection dynamically. Filters filter rows at a time and not based on 3 condition as Active, Inactive and Both. thus filters are of no use.
I Tried this in WEBI, and it is working perfectly you donu2019t have to create any Object in Universe, you can do it using function UserResponse() at report level.
Hence if you are comfortable using WEBI for Generating this report then Follow the steps.
1. Create Report With Name and Shares Object. It will display all Shareholder Names and No.of shares they hold.
2. Use Status Object in Query filter, use condition as u201CEqual Tou201D and Select prompt. It contains Active, Inactive and Both as values.
3. Report will Display all Shareholder names and No. of shares like 45, 789, 0, 4562 where 0 is inactive Shareholder and all other are active shareholder.
4. Create Variable using Formula.
=If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Active" And [Shares]>0;[Shares];If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Inactive" And [Shares]<=0;[Shares];If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Both";[Shares])))
5. Remove Shares Object from the report and Put Variable created with Names of Shareholders.
6. Select Table-> Properties-> Display-> Uncheck the Option u201CShow Rows with Empty Measure Valuesu201D
7. Report will display Value correctly as per your Prompt value selection.
I Hope this Helpsu2026
Thanksu2026
