HR Report category - set mandatory

Hi all,
I am using log.DB PNP in my report and have created a report category with e.g. PNPWERKS as one selection. Is it possible to set this as a mandatory field?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Tim

Hi Tim,
I doubt if it is possible to do it in the Report category. As you might know, this can be done in the selection screen events. something like,
AT SELECTION_SCREEN OUTPUT.
if pnpwerks[] is initial.
error message prompting the user to entre a value
endif.

Cant set status released for Generation Variant for report category IBD_MSD

Dear EH&S people,
I am trying to upload a vendor MSDS'. I am not succesfull in this. The reason is that the status of the generation variant is not "Released".
I am not able to set the status released in the Generation variant. I am using report category IBD_MSD which should be the standerd one for Vendor MSDS.
Together with an abap consultant we found via debugging of the matchcoded of the search of the status that he takes the DMS document type SBR as a basis. It should however be IBD.
Has somebody encounter this problem before and have a solution for this?
Is there somewhere customizing which controls for a certain category which DMS document type to use?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Regards,
Pascal

Hi All,
I found the solution.
I looked at the detailed customizing of the document type SBR. Note 1091699 explained detailed settings of the different document types.
SBR was not correct customized.
It sounds strange that SBR is used for the report generation status for Vendor MSDS. I think it is because SAP treads it as if it is a raw version. So that could be an explenation why it searches for the status of that document type.
After I updated the SBR-type correctly, I was succesfull in uploading Vendor MSDS. The DMS type which was used to save the document was IBD.
Thanks all for your help.
Issue closed.

Selection-screen using HR report category

Hi friends,
I have a developed HR report using PNP ldb in which i have used the HR report category to specify my selection-screen.But still my requirment is not getting fullfiled.I require 1)Company Code
2)Payroll Period selection block also.
But even if i dont enter value in this payroll area it should excecute.As of now it throws an error message saying "No valid payroll area specified"
I want to generate report for any month given in other period of the payroll Area wrt company code.

As per your question, remember that, the period will be different for each and every Payroll area.May be same period will behave differenly like weekly, monthly, semi-monthly.. with different payroll area.
So the parameter payroll area will always be mandatory..

Help me about the Report Category !!

In a ABAP report program's "Attributes", we can set the Logical database (eg. in HR, it's PNP) , and then, we can select the "HR report category", for the report screen category setting. After we set the Master Data(infotypes), we will get the report with several pushbuttons in the first line, like Further Selections "Sort order" ...
So, my question is if I want to add some items into the "Sort Order" selection screen, how to do that ?
Thanks a lot
Tom

Hi Tom,
You can create the report category from SE38-> Attributes and then give the LDB name as PNP.
Now click on the HR report category button and proceed creating the new report category by clicking the create button.
The report category name should start with 0* or 7*.
Hope this helps you,

Wrong period displayed for current period in HR Report Category

Dear Friends,
I have used HR report category (X_M00002) in my program that only shows two options (radiobutton) for period selection:
1. Current Period
2. Other Period
Problem is that when I select current period and press enter key it takes 01.2006 (i.e. 01.04.2006 to 30.04.2006) instead of current period 01.2010.
What could the possible error be?
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit
The current period will not be set based on the current calendar month and year. The current period will be based on the current period for the payroll area which you have entered. You can check the current period of a given payroll area from the transaction PA03.
Hope this answers your question.

HR Report category payroll clusters

Hi,
I have a problem in using the report category which i have created for reading data from payroll clusters.
I have attached PNP LDB in my program attributes and have set '900' as the selection screen.
In the new report category which i had created, i have added two select-option fields (PYPERNR and PYABKRS for personnel number and payroll area respectively). I have set the display check box for both the select-options.
But when i execute the report, the select-options doesnt appear by default and even i choose it from further selections tab, it doesnt appear in the selection-screen.
Can anybody let me know if i'm missing out on any steps?
Cheers,
Venkat

Hi venkatasubramanian,
1. what i understood is that u
selected PNP ldb and 900 selection screen.
then u wrote select-options for ur
own two fields, and they are not appearing.
2. i tried the same and its working fine.
report abc.
tables : pernr.
parameters : a type c.
regards,
amit m.

What is Report category in SAP-HR Reports ?

Hi SAP-HR Experts .
Dear Friends tell me about
What is Report category in SAP-HR Reports ?
How to create it ?
Can we set authorizations for a Repots , if Yes the how can we set it .?
Please elaborate your replies with examples .
Best Regards to ALL .
Rajneesh .

Report Category are used in reports with an LDB, usually PNP. Basically it's the configuration for the selection screen when the report is called. Among the choices you have which fields should appear on the first page, if sorting is allowed, etc, all sort of configuration.
How to see.
You can take one example, for example RPCALP0 (portuguese version, just substitute P0 with the version you use). Go to transaction SE38 and exhibit the report. Then yoy must select GOTO-->ATTRIBUTES and on the bottom tray there is a button that reads "HR report category". Just click that and on the next popup click Report Category again. So you have an example there of report category __M00001.
To create it's the same way, when you EDIT a report and click on report category the next popup has a create button.
The second question about authorization, it's quite simple, you can either use standard objects of authorization (like P_ORG for example), or your own Z objects. The sintax in ABAP is :
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'Z_AREA_SUB'
             ID 'PERSA' FIELD w_werks
             ID 'BTRTL' FIELD w_btrtl.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      CONTINUE.
    endif.
This is an example for a Z object to read authorization for WERKS and BTRTL of an employee.

If u use PNP LDB, and set the report category in program attributes as blank, default selection-screen of PNP is assigned to program.
If u want to change it,
give existing report category which u can find by F4 or create a new one and assign it.
That is,
goto -->attributes --> Goto HR report category -->
choose master data--> for not to use the default screen choose 000
also you can use the parameters you want on ur selection screen
and if u dnt want anythng u can choose 000
The default HR Report Category gets assigned if you leave the field blank in the report attributes of a report tied to PNP/PNPCE. to avoid it,
1. You can use the report category ___00003 (All fields suppressed) & design your own selection-screen in the Program or
2. Create your own Report category & assign it to the report.
The report category is used to change the selection screen of programs that use the 'PNP' logical database.

Cannot create report category - PN046 Report categories cannot be changed

Any idea how this can be fixed, or perhaps a setting to be changed somewhere?
Thanks!

Multiple data sets: a common global dataset and per/report data sets

Is there a way to have a common dataset included in an actual report data set?
Case:
For one project I have about 70 different letters, each letter being a report in Bi Publisher, each one of them having its own dataset(s).
However all of these letters share a common standardized reference block (e.g. the user, his email address, his phone number, etc), this common reference block comes from a common dataset.
The layout of the reference block is done by including a sub-llayout (rtf-file).
The SQL query for getting the dataset of the reference block is always the same, and, for now, is included in each of the 70 reports.
Ths makes maintenance of this reference block very hard, because each of the 70 reports must be adapted when changes to the reference block/dataset are made.
Is there a better way to handle this? Can I include a shared dataset that I would define and maintain only once, in each single report definition?

Hi,
The use of the subtemplate for the centrally managed layout, is ok.
However I would like to be able to do the same thing for the datasets in the reports:
one centrally managed data set (definition) for the common dataset, which is dynamic!, and in our case, a rather complex query
and
datasets defined on a per report basis
It would be nice if we could do a kind of 'include dataset from another report' when defining the datasets for a report.
Of course, this included dataset is executed within each individual report.
This possibility would make the maintenance of this one central query easier than when we have to maintain this query in each of the 70 reports over and over again.

Oracle Inventory: How to change default category set of items

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to change the default category set of functional area inventory in oracle as we are importing new items into inventory whihc need to be assigned to a new default category set.There is an existing default categpory set for this area.
As far as i understand once a default category has been set up and an item has been defined, the only way to change the default category set for a given functional area is to update all items with the new default category set before updating the default category set/functional area relationship.
How exactly do we update the defaul category set for an existing item and change it to a new one. Since we have close to 15K items what is the best way to do this.Is there ay API available?
Thanks in Advance
AM

Hi Helios,
Thanks a lot for your response
The fix given in this document is to allign all the exisitng items to a category set (purchasing in this case). This is exactly what my doubt is. How to assign 15k items to a different category set. If i am able to allign these items i can change the default category of the functional area.

Step-by-step process of grouping Items in Category Sets and more accurately into the correct Category

Honestly, I have never had a customer ask me 'how' do I identify which Items go together in a specific category. I am thinking I start with the Functional Area (Inv, PO, OM, WM, etc..) attributes, and start the grouping there. The customer is asking for "best practices" - any input would be appreciated.
I have a fresh install of Oracle Inventory, Purchasing, Order Management, Service - We have 2,000,000 part numbers.
How have you instructed your customers/clients (both Internal and External) in the PROCESS of categorizing all of their Items?
What is the Step-by-step process of grouping those 2MM items into accurate Category Sets and more accurately into the most correct Category.
I would 'assume' it would start with some analysis with all the Items listed with all the item attributes, and start with ECCN (for example) or Item Type grouping. Then...(?)
Thanks!

No answer to No.1 but I really want to find it out too.
No.2
If you already know list of the categories & ID you can manually create a list of checkboxes
<input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Category" value="89081" />
<input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Category" value="89082" />
<input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Category" value="89083" />
something like that should work

Creating new report category in Abap HR

When I try and create a new custom report category, I get a message saying "Choose the key from the allowed namespace". I did use a Z report category (we do have Z report categories that have been created earlier by somebody else). It would be great if somebody could list the steps to create a new report category. By the way, I would just want to keep just the personnel number (PNPPERNR) in the selection option.
I did try using SM30 to create a new entry but got the same message as above.
Thanks.
