Question on Report Painter
Hello,
I am trying to learn how to create a report thru Report Painter.
At GRR3, I executed standard report 0F-BSNA with my parameters
From/To Period
Fiscal Year
Company Code
Ledger (0L)
Plan Version 1
But when I run the report, I get a " report contains no data" message.
Report 0F-BSNA does not contain any data pages
In order to be able to view a report, do I need to make some type of settings in customizing?
I am able to view Balance sheet reports in FI-GL.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Ken
Hi
In report painter we need to get the data in form of Rows & Columns. Probable problem in your report can we
1. Check the Fiscal year, any data for that FY is available in FI.
2. Check in which table the report is created.
3. Add the feild BSNA in the table
4. Use feild BSNA in the report.
All the above are customization setting but easyacess.
thanks
Colin Thomas

SAP upgrade - questions for report painter and query
Hi Experts,
I have two quwstions of SAP upgrade.
My requirement is: SAP upgrade from 4.6B to ECC 6.0 with non-unicode.
1.Does SAP upgrade influence the report painter? If influence, could you tell me what should I do for this case.
2. We have so many queries (SQ01) in our system and many of them haven't been run for a long time. we need a tool to get the runtimes of queries in a certain durition.
For example: From 2008/01/01 to 2008/03/31,I want to know how many queries had been run/ query name/ runtimes of each query.
Best regards,> 1.Does SAP upgrade influence the report painter? If influence, could you tell me what should I do for this case.
You can check
Note 1155524 - ReportWriter: Upgrade Issues ECC6.0 -Common Customer Issues
> 2. We have so many queries (SQ01) in our system and many of them haven't been run for a long time. we need a tool to get the runtimes of queries in a certain durition.
Such a tool was RBE (Reverse Business Engineer) - which is out of support.
You can try to get that information from ST03. If that is not enough there's no other way than booking an SLO service to find out the queries that have not been used (http://service.sap.com/slo).

ShaunThanks Abhijit , I can now see my report group at the bottom of the list .I assigned you full points.I posted another question regarding report painter .If you could also give me some guidance on that.When I was creating rows and updating cost elements with account numbers.I set up 3 revenue accounts and then ran the report to see if I get any data for profit centers.I did get data but when I double clicked on one of the account,it displays this messsage.I read the msg. but could not make any sense with it.for example in definning row I put account number from/to 400000- 400000 Explode. and thats a characteristic.
No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
Report MEG1 does not contain any data pages.
No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
Message no. GR633
Diagnosis
No valid master data within the specified interval was found for the characteristic 'Account Number'.
Explanation:
For each characteristic that is processed in a report, the Report Writer optimizes the interval limits which are relevant for selecting data from the database.
Example:
A report contains the characteristic 'account', for which an account interval from 100000 to 200000 has been entered. However, if the master data validation shows that the lowest/highest account in this interval is 110000/190000, the selection will be limited to accounts 110000 to 190000 only.
The system returns this error message if no master data exists for the interval.
This error is typically caused by an invalid version. In FI-SL Special Purpose Ledger, for example, versions are assigned to the ledger and are defined in configuration. The report definition can then contain a non-defined version. A similar situation applies to controlling (cost center accounting): here, versions are assigned to the controlling area and fiscal year and can be defined in planning.
Another cause of this error is a ledger that is not assigned to the table for which the report was created.
Technical information:
The field name for 'Account Number' is 'RACCT'.
System Response
The system cancels processing.
Procedure
Check the report definition, or the specified master data, or the intervals.

GL Account summary in Report Painter
Hi Gurus
I have a question around Report painter report. We have such reports where the Profit center is based on the PC group set-up in the PCA Master records. The result is that we can analyze our report painter reports by clicking on a heirarchy and view the output for specific PC only. We want to do the same thing for our GL accounts. For example say 10 GL accounts belong to level 1 and 5 belong to level 2. When we clisk level 1 in Report painter report, the output should be only for 10 accounts.
The issue is that I don't see any place to create GL structure like we have for PC. Can someone please help me if it possible to create suc Account summary nodes?
Thanks,
ShaluHi Ajay
As advised, I created 4 basic sets with set of GL accounts in them. Each of these sets is using table FAGLFLEXT and field being used is RACCT for Account number. Then I tried to create Multiset that will contain these Basic sets. System requires me to enter RACCT field but when I try to save, I cannot. I get this error that field RACCT is used in several Set lines.
Field RACCT is used in several set lines
Message no. GS013
Diagnosis
You have tried to enter sub-sets for the same table field in several set lines in a multi-set. However, the sub-sets of a multi-set must each belong to different fields ("dimensions").
System Response
The system informs you that the field cannot be used twice.
Procedure
You must correct this double usage of the field before storing the set
Please advise. I appreciate your help.
Thanks,

For example, in KE24 I can display the value fields in the entry currency clicking the corresponding button, and I want this information in a report, is it possible?
Thank you very much!!It is possible with the button "Currency traslation"

Report Painter - Available characteristics
Hello all,
Simple Question on report Painter...
When I select characteristics to the lead column I expect to see al parameters that been choosen for the library. However, only part of the characteristics are available.
I try to figure out how can I approach to the rest of characteristics that are in the library.
Thanks in advace and best regards,
NirHi Jasmina,
I created a new Report by coping a standard one in Library 6P3 (T-Code GRR2). I need to select data also with the Dimension "Hour" for quantity that been planed with activity input method(I'm not in front of a system now so I can't give you the technical name), However, when I look into Library 6P3 with the rellevant t-code and get into the characteristic list I can see that it in used, I can see the rellevant charcteristic with a number and the 'V' sign beside it. When I try to choos it at the lead column - it is not appear at the list of available characteristic.
I Cheked also standard report from 6P3 and this behavior act the same.

I have a question about General Data Selection in Report Painter
Please help me out. Thi is the question....here it goes.
In a Report in ReportPainter, I have in the General Data Selection the following selected characteristics. They are:
Ledger = 0
Record Type = 0
Version = 1
Fiscal Year = Z-ANOACT
Period = (1CPERIV, 1CPERIB)
So that we have the next screen in the Reports execution.
Fiscal Year : 2006
From Period : 1
To Period : 12
Note:
*Z-ANOACT = Variable so that with a user-exit calculates the actual year. Right now is 2006.
*1CPERIV = This From-Period Variable is referenced to CCSS Table and PERBL Field Name. Its default value is 1.
*1CPERIB = This To-Period Variable is referenced to CCSS Table and PERBL Field Name.
Its default value is 12. Rigth now, we are in the fiscal month 5 (November).
Id like to filtrate information from January,2006,Period:07 to November,2007,Period:05.
I mean I work with the fiscal calendar because the information to get from the table is saved due to this calendar.
The Fiscal Calendar is from July to June:
Month Period Year
January 07 2006
February 08 2006
March 09 2006

November 05 2007
December 06 2007
Right now, we are in November , 2006 (month=11) but according to the fiscal calendar we are in November, 2007 (month=5).
How I can accommodate my variables or what I am doing wrong so that I can select information from periods 7 to 12, 2006 ( January to June, 2006) and information from periods 1 to 5, 2007 (July to November, 2007) having the screen cited above so that report painter adds the 2 ranges.
I cannot do it with the criteria selection cited above because I only have a year and a range of periods and my end-user doesnt want to run my report twice:
One run with periods 7 to 12, 2006 and
Another run with periods 1 to 5, 2007 and then to add the 2 reports in excel to form a report.
Hed like something in my screen like this
Fiscal Year = 2006
From period = 7
To Period = 12
Fiscal Year = 2007
From period = 1
To Period = 5
And then report painter will add the 2 ranges.

Many Thanks if you know anything that can help me, please let me know.ABDUL: I understand the ABAP Code but the information is saved in the table according to the fiscal calendar.
Fiscal Calendar Number of the MonthYear
January 7 2006
February 8 2006
March 9 2006
April 10 2006
May 11 2006

July 1 2007
Augost 2 2007
September 3 2007
October 4 2007
November 5 2007
December 6 2007
Normally, We are in November 2006 (month=11, year 2006).
However, fiscally; We are November 2007 (month=5, year=2007).
Important Notes:
The information is saved according to the fiscal calendar in the table.
My end-user wants to filtrate the information from January to November . I mean
Actual Year : 2006 Actual Year : 2007
From Period: 7 AND From Period: 1
To Period: 12 To Period: 5
I understand you told me about the ABAP code, for example my characteristics in the general data selection are:
Actual Year : 2006
From Period: 7
To Period: 5 (I would have an error here because From-Period Variable is greater than To-Period Variable)
According the ABAP code you told me, this would be:
Actual Year : 2006
From Period: 1
To Period: 11
If I run the report with these last parameters you told me, report painter only would add information from year 2006 and fiscal months 1 to 11 (July to May except June). We dont want this, that we want is :
Actual Year : 2006 Actual Year : 2007
From Period: 7 AND From Period: 1
To Period: 12 To Period: 5
How can I do this?? My email is [email protected] or [email protected]
Right now, the end-user runs the report twice and adds the information in excel. One run for :
Actual Year : 2006
From Period: 7
To Period: 12
And other run with:
Actual Year : 2007
From Period: 1
To Period: 5
But the question is how you can do it with only a run and in this way:
Actual Year : 2006 Actual Year : 2007
From Period: 7 AND From Period: 1
To Period: 12 To Period: 5

Question about sets in report painter.
Hi, everybody. Please, could someone help me in this matter?.
I wanna delete a set with the GS04 transaction in Report Painter but I cannot.
When I put the set's id (XXX) in the set's name and push Delete-Set-F8 button, I get the following error:
The XXX set cannot be deleted.I consult the error with the help and SAP tells me that I need to use the set-usage option to view where the set is used in the system.
I select this set-usage option under the utilities menu and SAP tells me that the set is being used in a report.
The thing is that the report doesnt exist. I deleted the report before. Why the error is then.
However, I created, generated and compiled the report again in report painter with other different set so that I confirmed that the report was not using the XXX set and the error continues with report or without it.
That I tried to say was that the XXX set is not being used anywhere and the question then is why report painter is telling me that the set is being used in a report. Thing that is not true.
Thanks and I hope someone can help me out!!Hi, everybody. Please, could someone help me in this matter?.

Report painter question FI-GL or FI-SL?
Hello
I have a general question on reports created via report painter.
I want to create a BS & PL report to see balances by month, and am trying to determine considerations to take into account.
Creation of a report where I can see the balance of an entire year is my goal.
From my limited understanding, I know I can create it in FI-GL or FI-SL.
For FI-GL, the global variable formulas I need to create look to be a pain, since they reference user exits (to calculate periods 1-12). Maybe its not that difficult, but Im not that knowledgable on this yet.
FI-SL (Special Ledger) is something that looks very usable, and I was planning on creating a special ledger and creating a BS report for it. But my concern is its reading from a different ledger. Are there cases where a discrepancy arises between ledgers?
If anyone has any advice on the the FI-SL or report painter, I would appreciate it
Regards,
KenPeriod shall be included in the column characteristics. Check the variables or Values in column definition for the characteristic period.
You could either give the values of period 1 for col 1, 2 for col 2, etc
or you may use variables for period. The variables can be a formula variable with conditions.
You make the user to enter a value for the 'To period' (ZTOPRD)
The value for the variable for column 2 (Feb) shall be = 2, if ZTOPRD > or equal to 2 else, give some 17 .
This way when the user enters a value of 1in the to period, the system would default 17, for which there won't be any values.
You may extrapolate the above formula for various remaining columns of period. -
Report Painter question (FGI1) How to limit output up to a specified period
Hello
I have a report painter question.
I am trying to create a BS report using tcode FGI1 (FALGFLEXT), that lists out the BS values by month (Jan - Dec).
But the problem I am coming across is, if I specify selection parameter 01 2008, the report also populates the same values into the unposted months ahead (Feb/Mar/April)
Something is wrong with my parameters.
Is there a way I can limit the report output up to the specified period/month?
I thought I might be able to work around this by creating a formula/variable (like in GL-SL), but it doesnt seem to be the case.
Any thoughts appreciated

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.

Report Painter - ERP Financials - Question on Value Variable useage
I want to use a value variable that works in Report Writer (table GLPCT, field MSL [quantity] but cannot select MSL as a variable field in Report Painter to insert the same variable (it is not a selectable characteristic) using the same Library and Table.
Is there a way to make the field selectable in Report Painter in order to select a value variable that uses the field MSL ? It is a valid field in the Library that I am building the report in.
In building the columns, I can select characteristic fields such as:
Ledger
Record Type
Version
Fiscal Year
Profit Center
Functional Area
Account number
Period
etc
but not MSL Quantity. Is there configuration to make this (or any field) accessible to Report Painter ?
Any advice is welcome.....
Thanks......Quantity is a key figure. When you create the column values you would get this from the key figure drop list.

Question on Values from Report Painter
Hi All
I have defined a report painter report using the Library 0FL allowing the dril down functionality.
however, when i drill down on a certain figure, the amount showin on the report is not in sync with the total I get when i drill down..
Can anyone suggest to me why this is happening and how i can get the 2 figures to match?
Thank you
RukshanaHellio Rukshana,
I would suggest you to please check the SAP Note 1317478 (Report Writer: Drilldown not handled properly).
In case the problem is not solved, please execute first the report RFFMRC20 and later report RFFMRC04 and reconstruct data.
Here it is important that you execute these programs only for the earmarked fund that you are having the issue. Execute it in one test system in test run first and look for results.
RFFMRC04 program analyzes differences between line items and totals records in Funds Management.
If you start the program as an update run, it automatically adjusts the relevant totals records.
Ensure that no postings are made while the program is running as this may lead to errors being displayed where none has occurred. If the program finds FM account assignments where the line item total is not the same as the relevant totals record, these lines are marked in red. The system displays the amount total (totals record), line item total, and amount type for each line.
Please check the documentation of this program in SE38 for more information.
I hope this helps.
Kindly let me know if you are talking about some other drill down fucntionality other than the above.
Thank you.
Suresh Jayanthi.
