Modifications in Transaction S_ALR_87013611( Report Writer )

Hi Gurus,
I have a Standard transaction S_ALR_87013611 which in turn calls the transaction KSB1.This former transaction is developed using report writer. The Issue is that when I give Cost Center Values twice in the selection screen with multiple values , I get two cost centre values with same number and the corresponding values are added.So I need to restrict the Cost Centre values in the selection screen to unique values.And for that I need to modify the report . So if anyone have ever worked with report writer or report painter, please tell how to modify the report and add our own coding as in the case of ABAP Query.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for not replying...I have found the solution myself

Hi,
Reports are not saved on a server/disk, but within the system itself. You can export them, indeed, to the local disk just in order to re-import in some other system.
You can read about Report Writers in this link:

Hide period 13 transactions in XL Report writer

Does any one know how we can hide closing entries from our period 12 transactions in XL Report writer?
Currently our transactions are all out of balance for period 12 and we do not know how to filter out.
Many thanks

Under the Dimension "original Journal" you can choose to exclude opening balance and /or closing balance.
That should do the trick

Need extra field in S_ALR_87013611 report

Hi There,
I want to modify report S_ALR_87013611. I want to add one column for object currency.
I think S_ALR_87013611 reports using planning layout 1-157 (standard report).
I want to customize this standard report and create variant for users so they can have extra object currency field in report.
can any one suggest me how can i add custom planning layout to S_ALR_87013611 report.
Thanks in Advance.

For you to know that kind of technical information, go to the report transaction code S_ALR_87013611. Here, in the menu goto Environment -> technical information. This will give you all the needed information. In this case, library would be 1VK.
Also, go through this document. It will cover a lot of topics regarding report writer and painter.

Report Writer (Table FAGLFLEXT)

I have created a group of reports in Report Writer where the table of data that use is the FAGLFLEXT.
But, I have a problem for the Companies that use local currency CLP are in the table FAGLFLEXT, Report Writer in thousands of CLP and in Transactions FBL3N/FS10N the amount appears correct, them attached an example.
Table FAGLFLEXT     CLP   12.000,00
Report Writer             CLP   12.000,00
FBL3N/FS10N     CLP     1.200.000 ( Amount Correct)
As additional information I can comment to them that the same does not happen to the other currencies (USD, MXN, BRL, PEN), them attached example
Table FAGLFLEXT     USD 10.000,00
Report Writer             USD 10.000,00
FBL3N/FS10N     USD 10.000,00 ( Amount Correct)
It applies a solution but this it affects all the currencies to me, it modifies a Seth of ratio of the currencies and (HSL * 100) multiplies percent but to this it affects me change in all the currencies.
Friendly, since I can do so that the Report Writer shows the whole amounts to me of CLP and that they do not affect the other currencies.
Thank you very much to all u2026.!!!!!

Hi,
I have the same problem. Please advice on the solution.

Report Writer with PS

I need to get subtotals by different user field values. Not sure this is possible at all with Report Writer.
Normally it is only part of Dynamic master data selection for the General data selection. I am just wondering if it is possible to get access to the user fields within transactional data selection.
What can be other tools to build such report, except for BI? Let's say WBS-elements are labeled by user fields as Red, Green, Blue and I need to get subtotals by those User Field values including data from attached network activities.
Thank you!|

Look at the option of using Project Summarisation for your requirement.

How to change the text variables for a standard report-writer report ?

I am trying to change the text variables for a report -writer report and transport the same so as to change the title page and the report output heading .I know the Report-Group 6Z02 and the library 6O1 to which it belongs.I tried using the change transaction GR32 after going to the area menu through FGRP . I try to change the text variables through but it throws an error "You chose a name in the reserved name range - try different name ".
I have also tried copying this report into another report and changing the new report . I was able to change and save the text variables . Now when I try to overwrite the original report 6Z02-001 with this new report , it does not allow that.
Let me know how I can change the text variables for the same

Can anyone please suggest me what to do here ?

Report Writer Issues

A user transported Report Writer objects into a production system which is affecting other businesses data when they run report writer. The first issue I am seeing is that incorrect variants are defaulting fir at least one Report Group, and maybe more. I suppose it is impossible to back out the transports that are causing the problem?
How does the variant default to a specific report Group?
Any other Report Writer transactions, info, or other materials will be appreciated.
Thank-You

In the lead column, this is where you define your row definitions. For example if you are using GL accounts these would be defined here. Next, create another row definition by double clicking. It will bring up an option. Pick formula. Then you can do math calculations.
In the currency column you should only define one currency. This is your key figure. Also select the characteristics that you want it to be based on 'ie fiscal year'. If in FI try TSL.

Report writer Authorization on selection screen

Hi All,
In transaction GR55 (to execute the report group), when the user enters the selection criteria for the report group, I want to validate the
'Profit Center group' and 'Profit center values' fields. The way it should be validated is, it should check the entry for the 'profit center group' or 'values' entered against the 'user name' in a Ztable for that user. If there is no entry in the Ztable matching that 'User name' and 'profit center group or values' , it should give an error message. I have seen that there is a user exit 'EXIT_SAPFGRWX_001' (Authorization check on initial screen).
But my problem is, in this functional module (code is shown below), the table 'I_T_SELSCREEN_PARAMS' has only one filed for both 'Profit center Group' and 'profit center values'.
1. when I enter 'Profit center group' 'ABC' in my selection criteria, I_T_SELSCREEN_PARAMS has following values.
I_T_SELSCREEN_PARAMS - selname = '%8A-PCHI'.
I_T_SELSCREEN_PARAMS-low = '01061000ABC'.
2. When I enter 'Profit Center Values' as some '3001000' to '3001020' inn the selection criteria, I_T_SELSCREEN_PARAMS has following fields,
I_T_SELSCREEN_PARAMS-selname = '%8A-PCHI'
I_T_SELSCREEN_PARAMS-low = '0002$ZSLP&8A-PCHI'.
here ZSLP is the report group name.
I don't understand how to get the values '3001000' to '30001020' into my user-exit in case 2.
Is there any other way of doing this? has anyone used this user-exit? Please help me.
Thanks,
Krishna
FUNCTION EXIT_SAPFGRWX_001.

Hi Krishnakumar Ramadoss,
For your requirement to have authorization, SAP provides facility in report writer/painter to give authorization groups.
Go to GR52.
Input your report group name.
Click on Header (Cap symbol) or F5.
At this header screen , you can see a field where you can provide Authorization group.
Try this. It may help you.
As a note:
Report writer / Report painter reports are reports which are created with zero percent coding.
The SAP generated program (E.g: GP3ICYT39FHJLOYBA2025DBAE1V213) cannot be changed or modified.
The only coding that you can do in a report writer are the formula's and logic that you can write in variables of the report writer / painter.

Subin John

Plant Maintenance Reports & Report Writer/Painter

Has anyone ever used Report Painter or Report Writer to produce SAP Plant Maintenance Reports? If so, what was your experience in using this tool and how difficult is it to produce reports?
The report that needs to be generated is for overdue PM orders (PM09) ....these are scheduled preventive maintenance orders.
We need to be able to determine if they are completed and if they are on time. This report needs to have the flexibility to choose the following
Functional Locations
Equipment
Plant sections
Main Work Center
Basic finish date / Planned Date / Overdue date (to be determined)
Maintenance Plan
Maintenance Activity Type
Group
We need to be able to run a chart from this data to show how many PM's are behind, how many were completed on time compared to the requirements, and any other chart that would be available (i.e. pie, line, bar etc.).
Thanks

Report Writer/Painter

Hello friends,
I was told to design using ABAP, the same report that Report Writer/Painter has. On the new SAP version ECC 6.0, component FI-LC has been discontinued so functionality is no longer works. In your opinion, what is the level of complication to design the similar report in ABAP without the ease of the report writer tool? Please advise.
Thanks,
HC

FI-LC is database structure for reporting. Table is FILC
path to run this report: transaction GR33. I entered library and report, click on 'section' push button, drill into Row layout, then report ->execute. This take me to Execute Report Group (GR55). This take me to prompt where I enter report group then execute. It takes me to program selection screen for report GP3HRLBGB4RL1THEDT1URJMIEZM310.
When I do this on the upgrade environment, I get error 'Component FI-LC has been discontinued'
I hope I give you sufficient information. Thanks.

REPORT WRITER AND REPORT PAINTER

Will anybody pls tell me the details workin of reort painter and report writer along with Tr code and also will u pls give me the steps to execute such type of report.

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.

Report Writer not displaying the column heading correctly.

Hi,
We have generated the report writer using the transaction GR55 by logging in EN language.
But when we executed the report, column headings are not displayed properly, instead it is displayed some thing like $ZR07##ZCO-OI# $.
Please help us in solving this issue.
Regards
Shibin

Hi,
Problem solved. We need to generate the report writer in original language only and it will reflect in other languages. Directly if we execute in other language it will display correct headings.
if we generate in other language it will display wrong heading even in original language also.
So generate report writer in original language only
Regards
Shibino.

Report writer problem

Hi,
I have created a report through report writer/Painter(GR51). My query here is to link this report to a transaction code. Could you please suggest me how can I acheive this?
Thanks in advance.
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
Go to SE93 and select the Transaction with Parameters ( Parameter Transaction)
Then in the Transaction field give: START_REPORT
Skip initial screen
Screen 0
In the default value for the parameters give
D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE RW
D_SREPOVARI-REPORT ( Give your Report Group )
If you have any doubt pick any report painter tcode and check in SE93.
Hope this helps.
