sayeed

Hi Sayeed:
It depends on the library you using for the report.
We have one report painter report where we show quanity column (for hours charged to a WBS). That column is "Characteristics with Basic Key Figures". Then the basis key figure is "SMEG Quantity" with relevant characteristics like Value type 4 (for actuals) etc.
Please try this way.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.

CO-PA column formula in report painter

Hi all,
Sorry about previously explanation!
In KE34, when define a form, we need several columns with a formula that is a combination between cells.
Rows:
- Row 1: Revenue (Y001)
- Row 2: Total cost (Y002)
- Row 3: Wages cost (Y003)
- Row 4: Depreciation cost (Y004)
- Row 5: ...
Columns:
- Column 1: Plan - value (X001)
- column 2: Plan - % (X002)= Cost / revenue * 100
for example: Cell Z001 (interaction between row 2 and column 2) = Y002/Y001 * 100%
Cell Z002 (interaction between row 3 and column 2) = Y003/Y001 * 100%
How I can set formula for column 2?
I tried to define formula for each cell in column 2. It worked, but it takes too much time cause the report includes 3 column like column 2; and about 20 rows -> 3*20 cells need to define for each report like this???
Is there any tool or formula variable i should use instead?
Thanks for any help

Hi,
there is no need to define the formula for each cell.
Mark cell 1/1 (Plan revenue) Have no other cells marked. --> this is cell Z001
Define column 2 formula as: Column 1 / cell Z001
The formular will for line X take the plan value from line X and divide it by the plan value from line 1.
I have lots of reports where I use this

How to bring all columns in a single/first page in report painter

Hi Experts,
There are 9 columns in a report painter which includes 1 lead column.
7 columns comes in a first page including lead column and rest 2 columns goes to second page. This report is copied from another report where all columns comes in a first page only. if the original report comes in one page then why not the new report.
Please suggest how to bring all columns in a single/first page in the new report.
Please revert if I'm confused anywhere.
Thanks in advance
Arabinda

Hi Rajneesh,
Thanx for the quick reply. When I change the column width to 10 it comes in one page. But the requirement is to keep the column width to at least 12 or 14 and moreever the original report from where this report is copied having the same no of columns and the column width for original report is 14 and it comes in one page only.
Do I need to do something more to achieve this. My question is how the original reports data comes in one page where as the current report having issue with same number of columns.
Pls suggest.
Thanx,
Arabinda

Edited by: Dhimbak on Dec 2, 2009 3:45 PM

Hi!
If you can modify the report itself, you can modify the column order as well.
1. Click on the column's herder
2. Mark the column with F9 button
3. Click on the destination column's header
4. Choose shift with F8 button
That's all

Report Painter - Use SKF to calc act/plan unit costs in CCtr report

Hi Report Painter Gurus,
I am an end user working with our Report Painter consultant and I have asked for a Cost Centre report with columns for Actual Costs, Actual Unit costs, Plan costs, Plan Unit costs for Month and Cumulative. I have seen this report in my previous business so I know it can be done but consultant says it's impossible.
The report I previously used had the SKF values at the bottom of the cost centre report and then the unit costs columns (both actual and plan) referenced these SKF cells in the formula which divided Cost by SKF.
We have created the SKF using KK01 and posted dummy amounts in KB31N but consultant says he cannot reference the SKF values in the formlas.
If you can spell it out to me (I have dabbled in Report Painter myself), then I am sure I can explain it to consultant.
Any help gratefully appreciated!
Cheers,
Matthew.

Matthew,
I think it is quiet simple. When you add a column to the report painter report you can choose from the drop down menu for 'Basic Key figure' whether it is Costs, Activity quantity, Statistical quantities, etc.
So if you have a column with Costs (X1) and one more column with quantities (X2), you can easily come up with another 'formula' column and use the equation (X1/X2).
I think this should serve your purpose.
Best regards,
Vishal Thakur.

X appears in Report Painter Total

Hello,
We have a report designed using GRR1 - Report Painter. The table used in the Library is GLPCT.
There is a line to display the total of all the values for a particular Profit Center Group where the postings have gone to Dummy P.
In the selection criteria we mention the Company code, Fiscal Year, Controlling area & Period.
In further selection we mention the Profit Center Group.
However when we execute the rpeort in the Profit center total line displays a small X in the right side. It does not display zero.
However when we double click on that line automatically the report KE5Z is launched. Here we can see that there is value for the line which is not reflected on the main report.
Please let me know what is the error.
Thanks & Regards
Shreenath

HI,
when a total line contains a "X" it can mean that the values can not be summarized.
The most common case it that line items should be summarized which have diffenert units of measurement (eg summarizing EUR / USD values makes no sense, but also "hours" and "minutes" can not be summarized although they can be converted into each other).
So one approach should be to check the line items base units if they cause the summarizing problem.
An other thing is the column width in report painter. If it is (for example) 6 digits, but your total is more than 6 digits long, the total is displayed as "xxxxxx". Take into consideration that also a decimal place is a digit, a "minus" before a total is a digit,...
Check this also and if thats the case, set the columnwidth to a feasable number of digits.
Best regards, Christian

Hi
i am sending you a sample of how to createa report in report painter follow it,
Main Steps in Creating a Report Using Report Painter
The illustration below shows the main steps in creating a report with Report Painter:
In this section, you learn how to create a Profit Center Accounting (PCA) report with Report Painter.
For these sample reports, you should focus on the tables that correspond to the SAP application areas with which you are working. The examples shown in this section have been created in Release 4.6C.
Sample Report for Gross Profit Margin
Bungee Corporation wants to use Report Painter to create a gross margin report. This Profit Center Accounting report uses data table GLPCT. The desired PCA report displays the gross margin for each profit center.
Below is an illustration of the completed gross margin report.
Prerequisites to Creating a Report with Report Painter
Before you can create a report with Report Painter, you need to:
     Determine the table
     Find the library
     Create sets
     Create variables
The following sections explain these prerequisites.
Determine the Table
Before you can start creating the report, you must decide on the table you need to use. In this example, we use table GLPCT in Profit Center Accounting.
Find the Library
Determine the library you want to use for the desired table.
If you need to create a library, on the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
     From the navigation menu, choose SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report Writer → Library → Create.
     In the Command field, enter transaction GR21 and choose .
In our example, we use existing library 8A2 for creating a report.

c.     Enter the values for each field. (For example, the standard ledger for PCA is 8A to 8E and the U.S. company code in IDES is 3000. This example is a year-to-date report, so all 12 periods are in the range. The standard Version in PCA is 0, the Record type for actual dollars is 0, and CO is 2000).
d.     To check the selections, choose Check.
e.     To create the definition for the general data selection for the report, choose Confirm.

Understanding the Report List
After executing a Report Painter report, several additional functions can be applied to the output to make your reports as meaningful as possible. You can:
     Sort on each column.
     Highlight rows that meet the threshold criteria, for example any amount greater than 6,000.
     Drill down from any line item. Drilling down you can access ABAP programs, transaction codes, SAP Queries, drilldown reports, or other Report Painter and Report Writer reports.
     Launch SAP Graphics.
     Send the report through SAP mail.
     Save as an extract to be brought up later.
     Expand and collapse rows.
     Change the layout settings.
     Display the report in Microsoft Excel with office integration.
hope this gives you an idea, and send me an email to [email protected] i will send you a doc on it,
if this was helpful then assign points ..

Report Painter problem with empty selection variant

Hello,
I use the cost center selection variant for the column definition in Report Painter as characteristic value. This selection variant get only the cost centers which are valid from 1.1.2003 to 31.12.2004. The column of the report created by Report Painter which uses this selection variant display value without taking into account limitations follow from this selection variant. I expect value zero for year fiscal year 2007 in this column, because the cost centers are invalid in 2007 year but the report displays different value. The problem appeared after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
Best Regards
ZD

My problem with Report Painter occurred when I was creating my own report based on 1VK library.
In my example I used in the column definition characteristic Cost
Center, which is determined by selection variant, and Basic Key Figure
equal SWKG-Costs. For system date (18.07.2007) there are no valid
master data for the characteristic Cost Center but when I execute
report for fiscal year 2007 the column display no-zero value without
taking into account value of Characteristic Cost Center. I expected
zero value in this column because there are no postings for Cost
Centers (no valid cost centers were selected) in financial year 2007.
Could you help me with this problem ?

Report Painter. Form edited only display first page.

Hi All,
I have add on new column on my report painter and now the display is more than one page.
There is warning "Only the first page is displayed in the report" whenever i execute to make modification using T-code : FMEO.
There is ">" ">|" button appear on top when i run using FMEO.
But , when i try to run the form from its T-code. The report only shows the first page column.
The second page is not showing, and there is no button ">" to browse to next page as well.
Just wanna know, is there anyway i could fit 2 pages into 1 page or is there any setting that i could enable so the user could browse to second page on the form?
Thanks.

Hi..,
<b>Onli on First page means </b>... this node will get executed on the first page irrespective of the page name i.e it considers onli <b>&page& eq 1</b>...
Suppose u have ur fist page i.e MY_FIRST_PAGE.. and in this page the data in the main window may trigger the same page as second page .. i.e if the data in the main window is not sufficient to fit in the first page it triggers the next page i.e MY_FIRST_PAGE as second page ...
so this MY_FIRST_PAGE may extend to the second page also right !! so when u use on page MY_FIRST_PAGE.. this node will get triggered if this page extends to more than one page also..
Hope u understood....

Report Painter Questions

Hello,
I am new to SAP and this forum and have been put in charge of report development for Finance for our organization. I have been delving into report painter on my own with no official training on it and have a few questions I can't seem to find answers to. I was hoping someone here could help.
1.     What is the limit to the number of columns in a report painter report?
2.     How do I get a literal in the body of a report? In other words, I just want text to appear in one of the lines as a label which would mark different sections of the report.
3.     Can I get both p&l activity and balance sheet balances (not activity) in the same column of a report painter report?
4.     Is there a way to take report painter reports and import them into an already existing formatted template so that they look nice when printed?
5.     How do I get headers to show up in the Excel option of report painter reports?
6.     How can I get period end dates to print in reports?
Thank you to anyone who can help.

Urgent issue: Report painter report.

Hi,
I need to change the varsion 0 to 3 to forecatsing column of the report painter report. Which I have done and migrated to test, but when I test it, it shows that actual column is also picking the values from version 3 though it shows version 0 in the column. I surprised to see this.
Could you please provide me any valuable suggestion to fix this at the earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi when you create a report:
use for actual costs:
Value type 4 and plan version 0
for plan:
Value type 1 and in you case plan version 3 (better to create a varibale, then you can select the version)
