How to translate Report Painter Reports (GRRT or other solution)?

Hello All,
We need to translate Report Painter Reports, and it doesn't seem that it can be done using SE63.
The transaction, <b>GRRT, Report Painter->Translate Reports</b>, may be the one to use, but we cannot find any documentation on this transaction. (not even on sap.help.com). The only translation references we could find for Report Painter were regarding translating currency. We need to translate the text content into different languages.
Can you provide any information or links to material about GRRT? Or do you know of an alternate solution to translate Report Painter report content?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Lisa

Hi All,
I recommend that you use transaction SE63. This enables you to translate what you need:
1) Selection texts for reports: SE63 -> Translation -> Short Texts -> ABAP -> Program texts -> Enter program name, source and target language and choose Edit.
2) Report Writer texts (what you have been using the G* transactions for): SE63 -> Translation -> Long Texts -> SAPscript -> Report Writer -> Enter name of library, source and target language and choose Edit. You can find documentation on transaction SE63 by choosing Help -> Application Help while you are working in this transaction. The section on Transport Recording also contains information on how to transport translations.
Best wishes,
If you have further queries, you may reach me over

Problem transporting Report painter reports

Hi experts,
I have created a report painter report by copying another report and added it to a transport request in GCTR. This transport moved to Quality system. Later, I identified that this request also transporting the library and sets which are already exist in production system.
Could you please suggest if this can be moved to production. does this make any problem in production
Thank you very much
Thanks,
Bharath

Hi Bharath,
If the dependent objects are already available in your target system, you can avoid transporting them.
While creating the transport request through GCTR, ensure that 'under Further details section, checkbox - With dependent objects is not marked'.
Thanks,
Vinod

hi santosh,
Where Is Report Painter/Report Writer Used?
Initially, both tools were only available to the FI/CO modules. Later, with the introduction of the Logistics Information System and Flexible Analyses in Release 3.x, the functionality of these tools was further expanded. It still is not widely known that the Report Painter/Writer can be used for reporting against structures other than those delivered in FI and CO (see TechTalk on page 8-4).
A common misconception in the user community is that Report Painter/Report Writer can only be used to report against a single table. However, some reporting structures do report against multiple tables. For example, CCSS (for Cost Center Accounting) refers to tables COSP, COSS and more, depending on the key figure configuration. Similarly, FI-SL (Special Purpose Ledger) reporting structures include summary and line-item tables (the key figure set determines where the data comes from).
To configure other table joins, views may be created joining the necessary tables, and views can be added to the control tables, via Flexible Analyses in LIS. Report Painter/Report Writer can be used in almost any application area in R/3 to report on currencies and quantities.
Data tables supported
Both Report Painter and Report Writer can be used to report on the following tables and tables types:
< Evaluation structures set up in the Logistics Information System (LIS). These structures normally begin with an S or ZF. Several different tables and views within the R/3 System can be added as evaluation structures.
Note: You cannot add cluster tables, such as BSEG.
< CCSS is used for Cost Center Accounting (CO-CCA), Internal Orders (CO-OPA), Activity Based Costing (CO-ABC) and for cost element reports in Project Systems (PS).
< GLFUNCT is used for functional area reporting in cost-of-sales accounting.
< GLPCT and GLPCOP are used for Profit Center Accounting (CO-PCA/EC-PCA).
< FILC is used for Legal Consolidations (FI-LC).
< COFIT is used for the Controlling Reconciliation Ledger (CO-CEL).
< ZZ tables are created for the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL).
< FIMC is used for consolidations in the Enterprise Controlling module (EC-LC).
< GLT0 is used for Financial Accounting (General Ledger) reports by account, company, and business area (FI-GL).
< KKBC, KKBE, and KKBU are used for the Controlling Product Costing module (CO-Costing).
< New in Release 4.0A: RWCOOM is used for CO-CCA, CO-OPA, and CO-ABC. RWCOOM is used for special standard reports like internal order budget reports, cost center budget reports and cost component reports.
Note: RPPS was used for Project Systems (PS). However, it is obsolete and will no longer be supported in Release 4.0. In Release 3.x there were only two special reports (6P70 and 6P71) using RPPS. These reports cannot be called directly, but via ABAP reports RKOPLAN0 and RKOPLAN1.
How to Access Report Painter/Report Writer?
To access the Report Painter you may use either of the following two methods:
< Transaction FGRP
< From the SAP main menu, choose Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter.
Report Writer functions can be accessed from within the Report Painter. To access Report Writer, choose the following menu path from the SAP main menu:
Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter® Report Writer.
How Is Report Painter/Report Writer Organized?
Report Painter/Report Writer has four main components:
< Sets: Sets are logical groupings of characteristic values. For example, a cash line on a balance sheet is made up of a set of cash accounts or an energy product line on an inventory report is made up of a set of energy products. Variables can also be created which are placeholders for sets, or values within sets.
< Libraries: Libraries control which characteristics and key figures from a table are available for reporting.
< Reports: Reports hold a definition of the rows, columns, and overall data selection. They also include the header and footer texts and layout settings.
< Report Groups: Report groups can contain one or more reports. The report group is what you executenot the actual report. A report group is generated to create a set of ABAP programs that produce the reports.
How Does Report Painter Differ from Other Reporting Tools?
< With the exception of row titles which have text fields, Report Painter/Report Writer reports display numerical fields only (for example, dollar and quantity fields). This is not a requirement for ABAP Query and typical line item reporting tools, which can display arbitrary text columns.
< While printed Report Painter/Report Writer reports appear much the same way on paper as they do on screen, the Drilldown reporting tool produces a different output format. Drilldown reporting is an online analytical tool which can be used to drill down to different levels of detail, but it is infrequently used for printing.
< Report Painter/Report Writer reports are hierarchical and take advantage of configured hierarchies (for example, with cost center hierarchies). You can also execute Report Painter/Report Writer reports from each level within a hierarchy.
< Report Painter/Report Writer reports can handle multiple currency/quantity units within a single column.
< Report Painter/Report Writer is well suited to handle reports that require mass production. For example, Report Painter/Report Writer is a particularly effective tool for creating month-end reports.

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 ->

Change Management process for Report Painter tool...

Hi everyone,
I am curious to see what process is used out in the industry to allow report painter reports to be defined and executed in production. Do users define their reports in DEV and use the STMS or the export/import feature or do they create them directly in the PROD environment? I personnally think it should be created in DEV and promoted to the remaining servers within the landscape for proper change and release management.
Do any of your technical resource monitor and look at reports before they are moved to another environment or do you allow your systems analyst or even end users to create their own report without any monitoring by technical resources? How stable is report painter and is there any major performance issue while defining any type of reports?
Any comments are welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Luc

Hi Luc,
In vast majority of project I have been participated, the report painter was in responsibility of the consultants and not the users. Usually, these reports were created in test system and then exported, via standard export/import functionalities, to production.
Of course, one can create those reports directly in production (though, without creating a transaction code for them - this will involve CR), but I'd recommend to stick to 'first TEST, then PROD' model. This would put some order in the reports directories, as the creation of a new report will be controlled.
Since, these reports based on totals tables, no performance problems are anticipated.
Regards,
Eli

How to transport generated reports through report painter

Hi All,
We are upgrading from 4.6 to ECC6. Previously somebody created reports for Finance through report painter, now in the new system they are two to three system generated reports which are produced by report paintyer (I guess) are retrieveing wrong data.
So I debugged the generated reports and found two locations
1. generated report as syntax error
2. at selection it is having an additional filter with company code for each table like coss, cosp, cospp which I dont find that filter in the old 4.6 generated report, I modified the generated report but problem is that it dont give me any transport number.
So these reports are client specific, can any one suggest me how to transport these changes to quality and production environment.
I tried with transaction GCTR , but it is failing when it is released.
Can any one suggest me.
Thanks
