Hi ,

I have an issue where in 1 row , data is not populating for few fields but the data is available in other fields in same row.
Say for example,
A row is of Standard metal cost, it has 7 profit centres in different columns, output is available for 5 but not for 2.
Have you faced any kind of issue like this, please let me know.

Regarding report painter/writer

I have a problem regarding REPORT WRITER AND REPORT PAINTER. I have to develop a report based on transaction -
CK13 in report painter. I am new to this area of reporting. How could I insert new tables in the library as I do not find a table or structure based on this transaction where I can find activity type, quantity and value in object currency.
Report format -
Material Activity type Vvalue in object currency.

Hi,
Try standard reports in GRR3 with library 7*. Relevant tables/structure could be KKBE, KKBC, & KKBU. Copy and modify the same.

Regarding display of Account Number in Report Writer Report

Hi All,
I am working on Report Writer Report.
It is related to Dipslay of Account Numbers with their
corresponding description.
My Issue is
On the output screen I am able to see only the
Description of Account Numbers.
But I need to Display the Account Numbers and its Description.
Note: Is there something to change into the Report Layout.
I have tried this also but no effect.
Please guide soon.

When you are going in your report to setting report layout you can change the setting. When you click on save in the report this settings are saved.
It is possible that a user had changed this. When you go to report writer you can see have made the change

hi sateesh,
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.

Error generating report in Report writer (GR214, short dump)

Hello
We are making a report in GGR2. When generating the report group, we have dump with error:
Short text of error message:
Internal error.: SAPMGRW2, Include: MGRW2F20, FORM: GEN_DATAFI
ELD.
Long text of error message:
Technical information about the message:
Message class....... "GR"
Number.............. 214
Variable 1.......... "SAPMGRW2"
Variable 2.......... "MGRW2F20"
Variable 3.......... "GEN_DATAFIELD"
Variable 4.......... " "
I have generated as well via GR52 with the same result.
The report i try to generate has about 500 lines, uses a number of existing sets and has simple formulas in it. When i restrict the number of rows to say 400 I donu2019t have the issue. Is there a restriction to rows in report writer?
Thanks for your help
Kai

Hi,
The error you are receiving could be caused by a large number of row blocks in your report definition, (you can check the report definition with report RGRRDC00). A report should not contain too many row and column blocks. It is not possible to give an upper bound for the number of row blocks (since the length of the coding depends on other parts of the report as well). However, even a complicated Report Writer or Report Painter report should not contain more than 50 row blocks, and reports with more than 100 row blocks should not be defined.
In this case the report(s) have to be redefined. Please also refer to the note 387916 for further information regarding this issue.
When there are more than 30 variables in a report, please have a look at the note 332091.
Please reduce the number of row blocks in the report by using the function 'Edit' -> 'Rows' -> 'Explode' in the Report Painter
definition. This function enables several rows to be created for one row block (in the Report Painter definition one row block is just one row). Report Painter (and Report Writer) are designed to display hierarchical reports where the rows in the few row blocks are built up using the 'Explode' function.

Error when running a report writer

Hi,
I am getting an error ("Internal error: More than 999 GREP blocks were requested") when running a report writer.
The error diagnosis is:
Internal error: More than 999 GREP blocks were requested
Message no. GR 215
Diagnosis
An internal error occurred in the Report Writer.
When running the program, you selected the option to store your results
     permanently. However, when the selected data was stored in blocks in
     the GREP file, the maximum number of blocks was exceeded.
System Response
The selection program was terminated.
Procedure
Inform your system administrator.
You may have to increase the block size for the GREP blocks.
Anybody knows how to increase the size of GREP blocks?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arun Mohan

Hello,
The reason for the error GR215 is that too many data blocks are being
processed.
The explanation is one of the following:
- You have variation activated in the report
- A large group of objects is being processed and the report output
   fails due to the large data size
- the selected data is reaching the technical restriction
Check the SAP note 64537. This note advises you to set the BLOCK SIZE parameter
in the coding to 500000. However, the maximum value possible is 999999. You may -
if you already implemented the coding change of SAP note 64537 - raise the parameter
once more to 999999.
If the error then still remains the selected/processed data is definitely too much.
Then check the report definition in comparison to SAP notes 317574 and 387414.
Regards,
David

What is the significance of report writer and report painter

hi all,
can anyone throw light on report write and report painter, when and why it used with examples.
thanxs in advance

Dear Hari,
http://www.virtuosollc.com/PDF/Get_Reporter.pdf
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/66/bc7d2543c211d182b30000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
Report Painter fulfills a function similar to Report Writer, but is easier to use. Most of the functions found in Report Writer have been built into Report Painter; however, you do not need to be familiar with all Report Writer concepts (such as Sets) in order to use Report Painter.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.

Use of Selection Rule in Report Writer.

Hello Everybody,
I am trying to make use of selection rule in report writer. We have a mixed chart of accounts using both IFRS and USGAAP account. Distinction between USGAAP and IFRS is based on certain value in gl account master data. Using report writer rule I wish to exclude IFRS account for a specfic report.
For example
REPORT = X = Rule to restrict selection to only USGAAP account
REPORT = Y = Rule to restrict selection to only IFRS account.
I have created a rule and tried to build user-exit around it. However during the callup of the selection rule no values are transferred to user-exit and therefore the ABAP consultant is not able to write any specific code.
Request your inputs on usage of selection rules in report writer.
Regards
Jayesh.

Getting a weird error in Report Writer Report(ABAP Reporting tool)

Hi Guys,
If anybody has worked on Report Writer Report.Can you help me in this regards?
There is a peculiar problem for the (Column block) .In the Column block there are 3 key figures(Quantity,Local Currency and Group Currency).
Of these in the output of the Report Writer Report the Quantity Column is not getting summed up properly.Though the other 2 columns(Local Currency and Group Currency)are reflecting the proper summed up data.
According to the tables, all of them are reflecting the accurate data.But only for the Quantity column though its reflecting the actual data,but the summation for it is not reflecting the correct data.
Can anybody tell me if we can attach screen-shots for Questions posted in Forums?
Please help me in this regards.

Hi James,
Thank you for your quick response.
I checked the report and the remainder functions is not being used.
The only formulas being used in the report are the following.
UpperCase ([1])
+ ", " + - This is set to @name
{@name} + " (" + + ")"
There are some formatting formulas set on the above values, but other than that, there is a sql query and the "select distinct rows" and "perform grouping on server" is selected.
Thanks,
Jayashree

Table fields used for basic key figures in report writer/report painter

Does anyone know how I can find which table field is actually being used for SAP defined basic key figures in report writer report? For example, HSL is a basic key figure for income statement, library 0F1, report 0F-GUVV. It only shows data is coming from table GLFUNCT. How does the report writer program knows which fields to select? What is the logic behind the basic key figures?
Any advice is appreciated!!
Minami

I have now resolved this issue.
I had to manually update TablesT804B and T804F.
I've added entries to T804A in the past without the need to update T804B or T804F manually so it appears that the way these tables work together has changed following an upgrade or application of support packs.

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.
