Missing entries in report painter report

Hi,
I'm using report painter for P&L and Balance sheet. The report uses table GLPCT.
There is an entry for downpayment made which is posted to a downpayment account and the other effect to the vendor (with an alternative recon a/c).
Both the downpayment G/L and the alternative recon G/L have are balance sheet accounts and are mapped in the report under appropriate heads.
The problem now is there is a downpayment entry in period 4 which is reflected in FS10N in the respective GL accounts. But in the report only the downpayment GL reflects the period 4 (current balance) whereas the Reconcililation GL shows only period 3 balance. Thus there is a difference in the Balance sheet totals.
Any ideas on how this could be dealt with?
Thanks,
Rajan.

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.

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.

Report Painter report showing wrong values

Hi,
We have a report painter report Y_DN3_47000280 which is Inventory by Plant. We have a plant which is sold out and is not working anymore under the company. But the report is still showing postings and values in tune of 183000...Can you please advise what is wrong and what setting is missing?
Thanks,
Prithwi.

Hi Dianne,
Thanks for the details. We checked MBEW table. There's a mismatch of the values between MBEW and Y_DN3_47000280 report. MBEW contains $109.6 and the Y_DN3_47000280 report contains $180333.00 for the plant.
Can you pls tell from where these values are populating. The plant has been closed 3 months back.
Thanks,
Prithwi.

Hello All,
I have created a Report through which I am calling a Report Painter Program 'Z443' as I have to first filter out the selections and then pass it to the Report Painter Report.
I tried the following two ways and found these problems :
1. Submit (program) with selection-table ..... and Return.
The output had many entries i.e the parameters were not passed correctly to the Report Painter Report.
2. Tried using the FM ' CRIF_RW_WEB_CALL_REPORT '.
The transaction for the Report Painter is opening but selections from the first Report is not being transferred.
Please help if you have worked on any similar requirements .
Thanks!

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

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.

Report Painter Report - Leading White Spaces in Cost Element

When calling up a report painter report, e.g. S_ALR_87013613, with cost element characteristic in Office integration/Microsoft Excel as output parameters, the cost element (row item) is indented with white spaces. The number of white spaces seems to be in relation with summation levels (sub-totals) visible in the left panel. For some cost centres that only have limited transactions, such as no posting to salary account group, there are less levels of summation, meaning less leading white space in cost elements. Is there any way to eliminate or have a fixed number of leading white spaces in cost elements?
We export the report to Excel worksheet for further processing. VLOOKUP function is used to read the cost element into another workbook. The inconsistent number of leading white spaces creates a problem for the formulas to work properly.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Regards,

Hello,
There are different ways of downloading the report to excel. One option is
System ==> List ==> save (to local file)
Please try with other options.
If still not working, then the work around would be
You can put ctrl+H (replace all spaces)
Then text to columns
Hope this works.
Regards,
Ravi

Issues in Report Painter Reports

Dear All,
We are on ECC 6.0. We are using some Report Painter Reports and we are facing the following 2 issues:
1. Authorization
For some of the Profitability Reports, we are facing authorization issues. e.g. If I do not need a user to view the profitiability of a particular Business Area to which he does not belong to then I should be able to restrict the same via authorization. However, I do not know where to maintain such authorization objects in Report Painter Reports
2. Financial Statement Version
We have created a Cash Flow Statement by using the Report Painter. We have created a Form whereby we have assigned GL Accounts to some characteristics and Financial Statement Version Item to others. However, when we execute the report, we can see figures for only those items where we assigned the GL Accounts and not for those items where we assigned FSV Items.
Thanks,
Shalin Shah

Hi,
1: search SAPNET with search terms "report painter, authorization", guess you find some useful notes.
2: Try T-code KE5B to convert Financial Statement Verison sets to sets that can be used in report painter.
Best regards, Christian

Selection values in Report Painter Report

Hi All,
I am creating a report painter report for Plan/Actual values using library 0FL.In my characteristic value column I included fiscal year as a value and hard coded the fiscal year so i dont need this parameter in my selction screen.When I execute the report the fiscal year is coming in the selection twice.i.e:
Fiscal Year
Fiscal Year
Company Code
Period
From Profit Center
To Profit Center
How do I wipe out this fiscal year from my selection screen? In GRR2 -> EDIT--> General data selection , I only have profit center values.I dont know why this fiscal year is coming up as a selction parameter when I hard coded in the column.Any help.Thanks
Regards
Shaun

HI Shaun
In GRR2, Against the char, there is a check box where in you specify to treat it as a variable.. DId you check that box? Unless you check that, it wont appear in the selection screen

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.
