PS project hierarhy in Report Painter

Hi,
I want to create a cost element report in Report Painter using 6P3 library.
Can I customize Lead column to view all PS project hierarhy (WBS-element -> Network -> Network activity)?
I'm using standart characteristic "Object" and variable 6-OBJNR, but I can see only WBS-element and a list of network activities under it, without network level. Is it possible to include network level in the lead column hierarhy?
Thanks & Regards,
Arseni

Hello Arseni
I think note 854774 explains addition of columns

Project Report in Report Painter

Hi,
Need your help for one of my issue.
Current issue in the System / reqirment:
There is a project report in report painter-GR55 which used to provide planed / actual cost and planed / actual quantity of the project. Whenever we are trying to run the report for several years and periods there is no cumulative data displaying. E.g. if we want to execute the report for the range of 001 period/2009 fiscal year to 004 period/2010 fiscal year, system is displaying data of 2009 and 2010 for the period of 01 to 04 only and there is missing data for period from 05 till 12 in 2009
Root cause:
There is no field in table-CCSS for the fiscal year/ period (FISCPER field name). As per the OSS note-157720 this is standard behavior of report painter. SAP suggested to build new report group based on OSS note-157720.
Approach:
An an alternative we used table-RWCOOM as there is field fiscal year/period (FISCPER). The new report group is working fine except planed cost of the project as the planed cost of the service orders are added up to project planed cost. We found there is missing field name-Object indicator which will restrict planed cost of the service order flow into project for which planed cost of the service orders are added up to project cost plan. This field-object indicator is available in table-CCSS.
Looking for now to fix the issue:
Option-1
We are looking for any field similar to object indicator in table-RWCOOM which will restrict planed cost of service flow into Project
Option-2
Build new report based on OSS Note-157720.
Please advise for this issue.
Thank you in advance.

Rakesh

Hi Eli,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. A small query i got here while building the auxilarry coloumns-2 and 3.
As per the Note (157720), in the auxilary coloumn-2 for the period we have to define period as 0 .....from period-1. Whereas my from period will be 1 and i can't provide from period-1 here
In same way for Auxilarry coloumn-3 period details as per the Note will be To period +1 ...17 whereas my to period will be 12 so i may not enter the details.
System will forbid if to period value is less than from period value.
Could you guide me on this.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Rakesh

Report Painter Drilldown on Cost Element for Project Systems

I am currently working on a report for Project Systems. I am trying to copy the functionality of the Internal Order summary (60I2-001) into report group 6P3. I was able to copy the whole layout and also the values of 6oI2-001 into a copy of 6PP4-001 but when I double click on "Balance" it is bringin up the ALV report that 6PP4-001 is using. I would like to call another report which looks like 6LS0-001 but contains Project System info made in report painter when I double click on Balance. Is this possible? Please let me know how.

Hi Avinash,
See my replies below.
1 a & B: You are planning Qty on NWA and capturing costs - labor & Equipment on NWA elements.
When you are having elaborated to NWA-Element level, split your total work on each NWA-element and post labor cost. Thus you will have planned Vs actual costs at one place.
coming to equipment cost - are you capturing using PO through GR?.
2.a : Option1- create a separate WBS elements for materials and plan cost at WBS level. That value would be your total planned cost of material procurement as estimated. Under this WBS elements create NWAs and assign the materials. With this set up you can assign material and procure so that will have actual costs coming from GR.
Option 2: Create a one General Cost activity and assign the total planned cost of material on this NWA.
When you assign the material components, diligently you have to reduce the equivalent amount from the general costs activity. Also note that on component screen, you have to check box "Cost relevant" so that material cost will add to Cost NWA. Let the different materials have their own valuation class and have default CEs accordingly. that would not be big issue.
Please discuss with your MM team to get more information. Also my suggestion is to leave blank CE field in configuration.
The option2 is very cumbersome and high risk but one have to be very cautious to reduce the value from Cost NWA in order to sustain the planned material costs whenever they added.
3. I have answered the relevance of Cost relevance check box in above.
Hope above makes sense.
Thanks,
Sudhakar

Projects group/set for report painter

Dear,
I want to create a report painter report to compare cost of projects.
I would like to be able to create groups for my projects, like you can do for internal order with KOH1, and use these for my report.
how can I create these project groups and how do i use them in report painter?
Kind regards,
Sander.

Hi
In a report painter report - Once you have created a SET means you know for what values you want to execute the report...
In your form definition, you will see two check boxes beside your characteristic - i.e. One for Defining a variable for the char and the Other for using a SET..
If you want to use a variable - this means you would specify the values of the projects at the time of execution... For this, click on the relevant check box and you can specify any name in the field "Local Variable"
If you want to use a SET, this means you know for what projects you would like to see the report.. For this, check on the relevant check box and specify your SET there...
If you want to use both the above options, then you must create your set from GS11 and choose the radio button SET VARIABLE
Refer the set 1KOSET from GS13 as a sample...
And see report 1SIP-001 under library 1VK in GRR3.. This report uses 1KOSET under General Data Selection.... You will get an idea for what you want

Project System - Report Painter - Cost roll up issue

Hi,
We have an issue with the roll up of the costs in Report Painter report in Project Systems. The problem occurs only with those costs which have been settled to an internal order from a WBS element.
We are using the same cost elements to settle to the Cost Center and Internal order and roll up of the costs work fine for those settled to cost center. But the roll up does not happen for the costs settled to an internal order. Would appreciate if someone can guide on how to fix this issue.
Raj.

Here are the values:
Period/year     000.1900     Remainder 1900     PERIO     Period/year

Getting Error in Report painter

Dear All ,
i am getting an error after i execute a report in report painter,
Getting the following errors,
Characteristic Ledger does not exist
Characteristic Record Type does not exist
Characteristic Ledger does not exist
Message no. GR655
Diagnosis
The characteristic must (message type E) or should (message type W) be addressed in the report definition. This means that a set must/should exist for the characteristic in the definition of the report rows, report columns, or report selection.
For performance reasons, it is important that you limit the value ranges of those key fields located at the start of the database key as much as possible.
Procedure
Define a set for this characteristic in the report.
Note
In Controlling (Table CCSS), different characteristics (cost center, order, project, etc.) are portrayed internally with a common technical characteristic, "Object". In reports, either a specific characteristic such as cost center must be used, or the characteristic "Object" must be used directly. If this is not the case, an error message appears saying that the "Object" characteristic is missing.
regards
Man

Hi,
define a ledger / record type, (eg in the general data selection).
Best regards, Christian

I had made couple of SD reports in report painter 4 year ago .. as far as process is concern you have create library , but it deals with information structure which start with s0* , after defining information structure in library it take to select the fields and display them on your out put . information structure have the statistical data most of the time . As i worked on information structure , so31,32,33 .....
I t creates ABAP program like ABAP query creates in background . if you execute Customer Over due analysis or in Co02 cost analysis report or MC* ( MM stock reports ) those are in report painter .
Hope this'll give you some guide line ...
As far as I know about report painter, It create a report in background..Like when you make ABAP query (SQ01, 02, 03 ) .. It will create a report. You cant modify the report . You have to get OSS id in order to do that. if you're ready do it then you can pass it to Memory and can achieve your goal ...
I think it will give you some hint. I wish I could have authorization to use report painter on my this project so I can help you out practically.
Please see these steps , it`ll help you ...
http://www.thespot4sap.com/Articles/Code_CostCentreReport.asp
The variation objects are coming from the sets.
For example, when you read the report 'Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance'(T-code : S_ALR_87013611), you can find the characteristic 'Cost Center' is set as a 'set variable'. So the cost center in the report left side are coming from the cost center group that you input.
Does any know if we could use Report Painter across two controlling areas? Any documentation available will be great. Yes. When setting up a report in CCA you can have multiple controlling areas. In the General data selection you will have the option for the CA as a selection.
You can also use standard references objects to construct your own reports: libraries, standard layouts, default columns, and row and column models, all in the standard R/3 System, are available for custom reports.
Report Painter report definition requires several Preparatory Steps, depending on the complexity of the report to be generated.
1) Create a library and pick your reporting tables.
2) Create your report
3) define your set up within the report
a)General data selections
b)Colimns
c) rows
d) formulas
Standard layouts are maintained in the IMG "Financial Accounting" under "Special Ledger -> Information System -> Maintain standard layout.
Create libraries, which means assigning the
characteristics
key figures
Predefined columns
For each of these categories you need to select the objects to be used in reports of the specific library. You define the sequence of the objects in the selection lists of the Report Painter in field "Position". Frequently used objects should be at the top of the list.

Is it possible to make bigger the text a I have on a text field?, Im using the screen painter and I need to put the title bigger (as a requirment).
You can define your text as any length.If you are talking about the font,i am afraid you cannot do that.
No, you can not change the size(font) of the text on the dynpro, you can hightlight it, which changes the color to "blue" to make it stand out. You can change this on the attributes tab when double-clicking on the element in screen painter.
what is the sentence that open a screen painter file
Don´t really understand what you mean with "open a screen painter file".
If you are speaking about showing a form generated with the screen painter,
Dim oXMLDoc As New MSXML2.DOMDocument
oXMLDoc.load("Form.xml")
SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(oXMLDoc.xml)
Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("YourFormID")
oForm.Visible = True

Report Painter Request - Cost Center and WBS Element

Hi Everyone,
Currently, my company settles all project related expenses through to a cost center by way of an internal settlement cost element (category 21). The issue with this is that when the expense gets to the cost center, they lose all visability as to where the expense originated, such as salaries or travel expense (category 1 cost elements). We can't switch the settlements to the originating cost element from wbs to cost center just because of the additional data/volume that will cause. My thought was to create a report painter that can run by cost center but also show the wbs's that settle to that cost center and group the expenses by primary cost element (cat 1). I'm assuming that there is a way to marry a cost center and wbs element by way of the wbs settlement rule but how would that be done for reporting purposes? I've seen it done before by way of a nightly job that created sets based on the combination of cost center and wbs but I'm not sure how that was done. Any advise and examples?
Example:
Cost Center: IT
WBS: A.0017.01.01 (settles to cost center IT)
Postings made:
1. CC IT and CE 552000 "salaries"..............................$20,000
2. WBS A.0017.01.01 and CE 552000 "salaries"........... $5,000
3. Settlement of WBS to CC (expenses flow through to CC IT by way of CE 985000)
I want to run CC IT and see that the account 552000 really shows $25,000 and can be broken down by cost object (CC and WBS by the amounts above)
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Peter,
I had a similar requirement and used report painter report group 1SHK-002 (in library 1VK).
I took a copy of the standard and ameneded it slightly, I switched the explode so it occured on the cost center not cost element.
The report runs so that direct costs on the cost center are shown at primary cost level. And values settled to the cost center are shown on the partner object. In your case i guess WBS Elements (Partner ObjType WBS).
Now in my case I didnt need cost element breakdown on partner level, just on cost center so effectively I have(sorry for text alignment but I hope you get the idea):
GL1   ............. 100
GL2   ............. 250
+ Cost center1 total ....350
GL3 .............   50
GL4 ............. 100
+ Cost center2 total.... 150
Primary Cost Total ..... 500
X-YZ-1.200 .............   50
X-YZ-1.400 ............. 100
+ WBS total ............. 150
IO 1............. 100
IO 2 ............. 100
+IO total ............. 200
Partner Total............. 350
Overall total ............. 850.
Its not exactly like your requirement but it might be a good report for you to work with to get what you need.

Report painter- problem in creating formula variable- ps

Hi Experts,
i have copied report 6P3 - 6PP1-001 Act/Com/Total/Plan from library in report painter.
our requirement is we want two user fields from cj20n in this report. they are prps-usr04
and prps-usr05.
i have added these in header as special text variable as they were ALREADY available at header under
MASTER DATA FOR PROJECTS / WBS ELEMENT IN REPORT-WRITER.
now my requirement is to add new columns. for that i required these two fields in formula.
but as they are not present in formula component i am not able to get it.
what should i do to enter these fields in component list in formula?
PLEASE GUIDE ME?
AMOL

ActRunningBal is a running total calculated in crystal or database field? If it is a database field then you can try this
if {command.CR-Amount} <>0 then
{command.CR-Amount}
else
previuous()+previous({command.Dr-Amount})
If it is a running total you cannot apply previous function on it.

Characteristic wild card in report painter

Dear experts..
I am developing a report painter for PS cost element report with structure CCSS.
I want to create rows with dynamic characteristic and I am thinking of using wildcard in the characteristic variable.
What I am trying to achieve is basically to filter WBS only for those which consist "ABC" in the project number (ABC in POSID). I know it can be achieved in the selection screen but I want the selection screen to be as generic as possible and only filter it at row level.
In the normal functional report we can use '*' as the wildcard but it can not be used in characteristic variable.
Appreciate any enlightenment on how to use variable or set to be able to do this.
Thanks in advance

Hi Alexei,
Welcome to SDN.
You need to give the exact file name. System can not determine file name with wild card.
Hope this will help.

Drill down value not matching with Displayed Report Painter Issue-GR55

Hi,
Need your help for an issue in drill down value of report painter from actual cost coloumn.
I have created a new report group based on OSS Note-157720 in GR55 Traction. This new report group will provide data of Planed / Actual cost, Planned / Actual Quantity of the project in range of fiscal year/periods. The issue in this report is displayed data of actual cost is not matching with drill down data. The actual cost coloumn is formula coloumn which framed by subtracting All periods cost coloumn, Before Periods Cost Coloumn and After periods cost coloumn.
Could you suggest on this issue.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Regards,
Rakesh

The report you are running first might have been created with some hidden columns that contain more than one variables relating to period and fiscal year. These may not be matching those that are required to run the drilldown. Look into the definition of the drilldown report. If you would want to match the first report, It may be better to identify which report runs on drilldown and the run that report with the required parameters.

Table need to be added in report painter library

HI,
Can't we add any table in report painter library (GR21) like if i add s032 it is accepted by library while 'MARD' is not accepted it gives error Table MARD is not installed in Report Writer.
what is the difference between s032 and MARD table, as both are transparent table. but one is accepted and other is not.
Thanks

Hi
You can't use all tables.see the below lines for it:
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).
