Report Layout in report Painter

I created a Report in reportPainter. In the report layout, lead column section..I select Group Name to display the group name (set's id) in the report's lead column but not all the set's keys appear. It only appears children's ids but not the father's ids.
I also need the father's ids....why do I do to have the father's ids too?
Thanks...
Example
father set:
A Inventories
chidren sets:
A1 Raw Materials
A2 Obsolete Materials
In the report I only see the A1 and A2 ids and its descriptions. I also see the Inventories word. But I dont see the A key next to the Inventories description....why?

Hi,
Check whether the field in the internal table used for displaying ID is getting pouplated or not

Report Layout and Report Query APEX tables

Does anyone know a quick way to delete report layouts and report queries from the APEX tables that they are stored in. We currently have to go into the shared components area and delete them one by one using the builder. If we could just get the table that they are stored in and delete them by name, that would be extremely useful. Oracle does not support this type of data manipulation.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
There are Top and Bottom – Left and Top and Bottom – Right.
I suppose that you have something wrong in the SQL Query or in the report.
Make a new report using the wizard. Then use Report Template – Standard and Top and Bottom – Left.

Report Layout width(Report based on SQL Query)

Is there any way to increase the width of the report layout? I have removed as many columns as I can and dropped the font size down but the data in the columns is still wrapping to more than one line. How can I increase the report layout width, or change the layout to landscape or something similar.
thanks

I had this problem with wrapping text. You have to create a Reports From SQL Query and choose a custom layout. Then when you go the the HTML layout section, you will need to ad nowrap to the <TD> tag (i.e. <TD nowrap>) for each field you do not want to wrap.

Dynamic Report layout issue - Report builder 10g

Hi all,
I try to implement a dynamic report that have:
1.my_header - variable elasticity
2.my_footer - variable elasticity - the bottom it is anchored to the bottom of my_report frame
3.my_body - variable elasticity -must fit between the header and footer - the top it is anchored to the bottom of my_header
All these frames are inside a main frame my_report(same height and width as body section).
The issue is that when my_body (I have another frame and a repeating frame inside it) has more than one page, the data overrides the footer data.
I don't want to put header and footer on margin.
It will be great if you can give me some hints, or if it is possible to implement such a report
Thanks,
Gicu Buimaga

What exactly do you mean? Are you running out of space on the page when running the report? That can only be resolved by modifying your layout.
Or are you running out of space in the Layout Editor? In the layout editor you can make a page as long as you want. One physical page is not limited to be designed between the page boundaries you see in the Layout Editor.
The frames you are using have to have a Variable Vertical Elasticity, though.

CR Reports Layout

Hi All,
I just go through the CR Reports Layout and Report on Service market place and downloaded the generic layouts. I found that only document s like Sales quotation, Sales Order, Purchase Order only are available in it.
Do anybody know SAP's plan to release standard layout for the Reports like Ledger,Trial Balance,Balance sheet,Profit & Loss, Cash Flow,Sales Analysis,Purchase Analysis etc ?

Issue with Report Layout

Hi All,
I am working on a report which display employee present or absent in the month. I have to display dynamic column as days varies as per month .
I am done with the report design/query part, using matrix report layout. Report executes and produce expected output too.
Problem:
As this report consists maximum 33 columns (1 = employ name + 31=days in the month + 1=Total days present) I change Page Layout to Landscape.
When I select report output as "pdf" it generates report in Portrait Layout.
Could you please tell me how to fix this issue?

Help building report layout

Hello,
I have to alter a report layout on Reporting Services 2008 and after 2 and a half days trying I simply give up!
It's impossible to make this layout in RS2008. It simply does not accept what I need to do. See layout bellow:
Consumption Location X
MU A | PartNo x | Part Description | Qty
| PartNo y | Part Description | Qty
MU B | PartNo q | Part Description | Qty
MU C | PartNo n | Part Description | Qty
| PartNo z | Part Description | Qty
| PartNo s | Part Description | Qty
--------------------Skip line-----------------
Consumption Location Z
MU G | PartNo t | Part Description | Qty
--------------------Skip line-----------------
This "Consumption Location" must be over the pieces of information and they are data from my query, so are the other columns. The 4 other columns must be grouped, so they can look as the first image, otherwise won't have the layout needed.
Now I ask you: How can I do such thing?!
I appreciate the help, and I'm sorry that I sounded mad. I'm really pissed off 'cause of this.
Tks!

I believe I have reproduced the layout you are looking for.
I created a static dataset using sample data similar to what you have:
I then added a table and the dataset to the above sample dataset. I added a parent group to the detail group (MU) and a parent group to MU (Consumption Location). These each added a group column. I deleted both of the new group columns without deleting the
groups. I deleted the existing header row then added a Total row to the MU group > Before. I right-clicked the new total row and Inserted a row > Inside Group - Above. I added a 4th detail cell by right-clicking the middle column and choosing Insert
Column (either left or right). Now I merged the 4 cells of the top total row together and did the same for the bottom total row.
I populated the data as follows... bottom total row I added [Consumption Location]. In the 4 data cells from left to right... [MU], [PartNo], [Description], [Qty]. Last step is to edit the expression in the first detail cel. Instead of just displaying [MU]
you want that for only the first record of the group so use the following expression instead: =IIf(Previous(Fields!MU.Value) = Fields!MU.Value, "", Fields!MU.Value)
Add a little formatting to make it pretty and...
The empty total row at the top I set the top, left and right border style to None. This gives you the empty line.

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.

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.

Altering copied SAP report layout

I've copied SAP std report from investment management (in IME2) to create my own layout. I've copied the report and form, and have alterred the form to my liking.
When I execute the report, the summary section at the bottom of the report appears correctly, but the middle section doesn't show the same columns.
I can't find where this is controlled/stored. How do I get into the centre section of the report layout to alter the column layouts and bring in my new columns when the report executes.
Can anyone tell me how I get into this area of a report to configure the column layout
Thanks
Graham

Hi Prasanna
No I've checked throughout Report painter/writer, and its not there. Style wise, it appears to be more of a Profitability Analysis report.
I've managed to create my own copy of SAP standard report S_ALR_87012825, with a modified form that gives me what I nee at the bottom summary section. I've spent hours trying to get into the middle section, but just can't find a way.
the nearest I got was in IME2, where I can right click on the program name, and choose "Layout Display", but there doesn't seem to be any editing options where I can alter the columns in the middle section of the report, which I basically want to replicate the summary section at the bottom.

Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout

Dear All,
Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout.
In sales quote layout the rows are doubled. Even in the standard layout. If the quote contains only two rows. Then it is doubled as 4 rows in the crystal report layout.
It is happening in the particular database. Other database are working fine. I request you people to help me to overcome this issue.

Huge delay in Printing Crystal Report Layout

Good Day Experts,
I am experiencing big delays when printing a document that makes use of a Crystal Report Layout Design.
For example,
The Sales Quote is set to automatically print when added by the user.
When clicking 'Add', SAP freezes up and only about 30 seconds later does the printer finally print the document.
During that time, the user cannot use SAP at all.
The layout does have a lot of fields and a few formulas here and there.
Logically, I am thinking that that is the reason for the delay, as SAP needs to calculate and populate those fields.
Is there any other way that I could speed up this process? Or if you know what might be causing this speed issue?
Your assistance will be appreciated,
Thanks
Regards
Dario
