Hi,
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply but can you please advice what exactly do i need to do in Transaction GB02 and GCBA since i checked the settings for both the Co Codes and in 1 CO Code No Ranges defined are as follows and nothing is defined in Second Co Code.
Year         From No                    To No
1992     0000100000     0000199999
9999     0000300000     0000999999
1992     0000200000     0000299999
9999     0001000000     0009999999
I do not know how but the 1st CO Code has Profit Center Doc generated as 0016897961 which does not fall in the No range defined.
I copied No range from Co Code 1 to Co Code 2 still no Profit Center Doc is generated
Request you to please look into the same.

Difference between Report painter and abap query .

can anyone please tell me the difference between the report painter and the ordinary alv,clasical reporting and also the difference between Report painter and abap query. How the output format will be in Report painter. If anyone has any documents please send it to
[email protected]
Thanks,
Joseph.

hi,
ABAP Query is an ABAP Workbench tool that enables users without knowledge of the ABAP programming language to define and execute their own reports.
In ABAP Query, you enter texts and select fields and options to determine the structure of the reports. Fields are selected from functional areas and can be assigned a sequence by numbering.

whereas the Report Painter enables you to report on data from various applications. It uses a graphical report structure that forms the basis for the report definition. When defining the report, you work with a structure that corresponds to the final structure of the report when the report data is output.

Report Painter and Report Query

Hi,
Can some body explain me the difference between Report painter and report queries. How these are diffrent from ABAP prgram and ABAP queries. Who are the persons who are using all these like functional consultant or ABAPer or End users.
Regards
RKG.

Hi
Report Painter is mainly used by CO functional consultants for generating reports using variables, Key fugures and sets. This is a SAP standard functionality.
ABAB Queries / Report queries are created by Abapers and Functional consultants , this is mainly to join two or more tables run a query on the available data in the table and get the reports
ABAP program are complete program which are the coding language of SAP, where a program can be created for a new functionality which is not available in SAP . However the data required for this program has to available in SAP.

Report Painter and SAP Query

Can someone explain to me output differences between the above two?
Thanks, n point will be awarded

Hi,
ABAP Queries are extremely useful: they can retrieve data from tables and logical databases alike. ABAP Queries permit a snapshot' of the current R/3 data.
SAP has made it possible for R/3 users to develop queries using little, if any, ABAP code. However, knowing table and fields (data schema) and some SQL knowledge (outer-joins/inner-joins, etc.) is still required.
ABAP Query reports are typically simple listing and totaling reports (unlike a balance sheet or an income statement requiring complex groupings for example, a cash or revenue line consisting of several accounts on a financial statement). Such complex groupings require the query to read various tables multiple times to appropriately total and sort the accounts. For complex tasks such as this, the other R/3 tools (such as Report Painter which uses sets for these groupings) are better suited for reports with complex and integrated groupings.
Thanks,
Dishant

Create a library which joins 2 tables that report painter can use.

Hi,
Please help in resolving following issue:
Create a new library that joins these tables (in client system) GLPCT and ZFKHALIX that report painter could use. If we had this then we can create a P&L report that properly breaks out COGS and SGA in the same way as ou khalix feed.It would also save a lot of time in month end reconciliation between two tables.
ZFKHALIX: SAP->Khalix Interface --- Custom Mapping Table (Developned)
GLPCT : EC-PCA: Totals Table (Standard Table)
Regards

Library can be created only with reference to a single table as in GR21. If you are looking for joins of tables, ABAP Query may be the answer. There, you have the infoset where you can join two or more tables. And based on the infoset you create queries.

Differences Between Report Painter and Report Writer

Hi,
Anyone knows the differences between report painter and report writer?
Thanks,
CW

Hello CW Teo,
Yes report writer can be used in logistics also. One of the way which I am aware of is described below.
Flexible analyses allow you to can tailor the way in which key figures are combined and aggregated. This means that it is possible to both provide administrators with detailed information and management with aggregated information.
Flexible analyses enable easy access to the Report Writer, a user-friendly tool with which you can create reports for various analyses. The Report Writer is integrated in other SAP applications, such as Extended General Ledger and Cost Center Accounting.
Evaluation structures form the interface to the Report Writer. Evaluation structures consist of characteristics and key figures and are easy to construct.An evaluation structure with the same name exists for each information structure in the standard system.Even the self-defined information structures created in Customizing can be evaluated via the flexible analyses.
Evaluations:You can create an evaluation on the basis of the evaluation structure.
To define an evaluation, all you need to do is select the characteristics and key figures you require (pick-up technique).One of the especially useful features here is that you have the option of tailoring the layout of your report to suit your particular requirements. You can also define extra key figures for the reports, which are derived from existing key figures by means of calculation formulas. You can thereby multiply the key figures or divide one key figure by another.
============================================================
In addition to the above you can also edit a report in logistics module with the help of a report writer. below mentioned is the process for it.
It is now possible to edit your report data using the Report Writer. You can also change the layout of the report. The most important functions of the layout design are summarized below.
Summation levels:In the report screen, you can use the menu sequence View ->Summation level to specify the number of summation used to calculate total values. All totals that do not lie within the specified interval will be hidden. A summation level corresponds to a hierarchical level (for example, material level). Summation level 1 is the lowest hierarchical level. Summation level 2 is the next level up, and so on. The individual values are on the summation level 0.
The summation levels can be specified both universally (for the entire report) or locally (for specific blocks of rows). In this case, the local settings overwrite global values.
Report views:If a report is displayed on the screen, the Report Writer will then set page breaks so that exactly one page fits into the current window. This view will be defined as the standard view. As the Report Writer always processes exactly one page, you can only use the page keys and page icons to page up and down; the scroll bars cannot be used.
The page view can be determined via Settings-> Page view. The page breaks in the page view correspond to those defined in the report layout.
Hide and show rows:The function Edit->Hide rows exclude certain preselected areas of your report from the display. You can undo this command with Edit ® Show rows.
Expanding and collapsing report rows:View-> Hierarchy->Collapse allows you to hide the report rows of the sub-trees that are located underneath. View->Hierarchy ->Expand allows you to undo this command level by level.
If you want to display all the report rows that were hidden by collapsing the hierarchy or restricting the summation levels, select, View->Hierarchy-> Expand all.
View->Collapse all allows you to reduced every row block to the highest summation level.
Texts and Annotations:You can create an annotation for your report.
Select: Extras->Annotation.
You branch into the text editor of the Report Writer.
Via the menu sequence Settings->Texts, you can create and format a title page, the last page, as well as headers and footers using word processing functions.
For example, you can store variables in the header for the author of the report, the date of the selection or the name of the person who last changed the report.
Layout parameters:Using the menu sequence Settings->Layout you can specify the page format, display form, rows and columns of the report according to your needs and you can determine the settings for the graphics function. You can make these layout settings with Report->Save settings.
Hope I had been able to help you to some extent. please assign points as reward.

Report Painter and Exchange Rates

We have not turned on multiple local currencies but we have several company codes that have different currencies. Does anyone know of a feature in Report Painter that allows reporting of different currencies in one report by using some kind of currency exchange rate connection?
I'd like to be able to create a simple Report Painter report but have it report in the company's primary currency.
You help is greatly appreciated,
Dan

Hello Dan,
On the initial screen of report painter where the user enters the parameters valaes , there is a icon for currency with a $Y sign. Click on icon and select the option translate to target currency. With this it may be possible view the report with postings in multiple currency translated into one reporting currency.
If the icon is not visible then from menu select
Environment - Options and click on check box Expert Mode.
Hope this meets your requirements.

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).

Report Painter and currency issue

Hi All:
We have several report painter based on table FAGLFLEXT and have a problem maintaing the company code currency in report results.
Here is the scenario:
User 1 runs report for a company code A in country A with Currency A
User 1 does a currency conversion to Currency B. Report is now shown in Company code A, for Country A with Currency B
User 1 exits report and is prompted to if they want to save their data.
User 1 selects that they do want to save data (this is a data save..not a report layout or defintion save).
User 2 now runs same report for Company code C in country C with currency C
Results of report are now in Currency B as this was what was saved by User 1
I have found that it requires both the currency conversion and the Save Data function to make this happen. If only one of these steps is done, User 2 gets results in Currency C.
I believe I can fix the problem by removing the authorization to "Save Data"...but would like to find a better solution..Any ideas would be most appreciated

Hi,
Can you please forward the material on drill down report.
It is very much required to meet client requirement

Painting and using different Layers

Hi,
I have to develop a Swing interface where i have to do lot of painting,
Like there will be a background which will be showing some strips with different colors, which will be stable,
On this background I have to draw some rectangle , off different size,
and add the function so the user can click on the rectangle and drag it and drop it
I have to develop a kind of scheduling , like microsoft scheduler or take a look at the following example
http://www.ilog.com/products/jviews/demos/activitychart/index.cfm
I need some help in finding some tutorial on how to use different panes in JApplet , like th layered panes, the glass panes etc
Any advice on developing such an Applet
Ashish

Hi Shannon,
I already have subclassed JPanel and override the paintComponent method to do all the painting , but the problem i am having is there is a lot of painting and when ever i move the mouse over it repaint method is called and so there is chance that the applet will not work if the graphics card of the user is not good,
Can u point me to some example where a RepaintManager() is used,
also i want to use layers so i can avoid the repainting of the background even if the user clicks on it, or drap and drops the rectangle drawn
