GRR3 Report Painter change history

Hello Experts,
Please bare with me as I am a security consultant and not functional. Today, I received an inquiry regarding GRR3 - Report Painter. It was noticed that in one of the reports that a few items were added in.
What I would like to know is how I can find who made these changes to this specific report and when. Is there any way to do this within GRR3 or from any other transaction code that you know of?
Many thanks for advice.

Thank you very much for such a simple and informative reply.
I was also wondering if there happened to be another area or table in which I can see even more details. I noticed that it says last changed and username (which is great), but are there any other places which shows more details (i.e. for which items were changed by whom?). I know this level of detail is possible with user IDs but not sure about Report Painter.

Report Painter - Account descriptions not showing

Hi guys...I have created a balance sheet in report painter, using a library based on table FAGLFLEXT. this table does not have account descriptions in it, but only account number. The client wants to see the account description as well. Is there a way I include that in my report? Since we are using the new GL, i have used FAGLFLEXT. Please advise how I can accomplish this...can I use a view or a table join between FAGLFLEXT and SKA1?
please help
thanks
Brian

Dear Brain,
In the report painter, GRR2, select your report and go to
Formatting > Section layout
Select the lead column tab
Here in the Contents field, select "Key and description"
That would resolve the issue.

Formula Variables for Report Painter- Syntac error in formula, Please Help!

Dear Experts,
I'm creating the report where I need to calculate annualized P&L. The formula is as follows : (P&L account/Period(variable ))12*
I need to capture the From_period, which is entered by the user on the selection screen when running the report and use it as a variable in the formula above. Example: If User insert From Period 3, then the formula should be *P&L accoun / 3 * 12*
I have tried so many different way but nothing seems to work. one of the ways i tried was:
In the general selection Im using set variable 6P-S-PERIOVB.CCSS for period which consists of variable V_PERIO and B_PERIO.
So Im trying to create a folowing formula:
IF 1 >= u2018PER_FRu2019 AND 1 <= u2018PER_TOu2019 THEN 1 ELSE 16
IF 2 >= u2018PER_FRu2019 AND 2 <= u2018PER_TOu2019 THEN 1 ELSE 16
Unfortunately I keep getting Syntac error in formula. Please help me I'm really desperate to solve this issue after 5 days of unlucky research.
Thank you in advance
Regards
Ernesta

Thank you all for your help. The issue was that the variable was assigned to the different table as the library. After I changed it, it worked fine.

Track report painter change

our previous consultant change some Grr2 report, but system doesn't have change log for it, how can we know what he changes(i.e. collumn, formula, gen data selection), thanks

Hi,
as you said, changes are not recorded. So
1: ask for a change documentation from the consultant (I am wondering why this is not made with the changes itself)
2: Maybe you have some older versions of the same report in other systems/clients (development, sandbox,...) you can compare them using 2 screens.
Best regrads, Christian

Report Painter Spool

Hi,
We are facing problem with Report Painter program. we developed one report in report painter program in CO. we are taking the report painter date into customised program and we are doing some calculations. From KE30 Transcation we can execute the report painter program. We are doing the BDC for that transaction, storing the final data into flat file and downloading that file into our customised program. But for KE30 Transaction dependency is there.
whenever we are executing that transction for the first time we have to enter some details. To remove that Dependecy we are trying with spool. When we execute the report painter program through SE38 output is going to spool. In spool the page width for that program is 85. We want it upto 100 characters width. We changed settings in spool but we are not getting the solution. Is there any other way to increase the spool width for report painter program? is Page width for report painter program fixed?
Please help me in this regard?
Ur quick response is appreciated
Thanks in advance
Ganga Bhavani. B

Hi All,
1.The page width is set with KE30 -> report -> print setup ->
drill down + detail -> maintain header -> edit -> page width
This will be saved with the report structure.
2. Variants and variant groups let you execute and save or print reports
in the background at pre-specified times.
Please see transaction code KE3R/Application Help for additional details
here.

Report painter problem

Hi All,
Please note that I have copied a standard SAP report(6000-6o1) internal order : actual /plan.The report displays cost element, actual, plan variance and variance in %.I also can see the Order group but it comes seperately on left side of screen where the order can be selected and report refreshes accordingly.
However I want to have order just to the left of Cost element and don't want to have it as selection.i.e when i run a report for a period i should be able to see all internal orders and their cost elements.However the report is not allowing me to do that.I am unable to add column to the section.
I even tried changing the variations however the result is not as required.
I would like to know as to whether two lead columns are not possible in report painter.
Can any one please help me with this .
Thanks in advance.

Pranay

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.
Create Sets
Create the required sets for your report. To create a set, on the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
     From the navigation menu, choose SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report Writer → Set → Create.
     In the Command field, enter transaction GS01 and choose .
Note that this procedure is not necessary for creating the report given in the example that follows.
Create Variables
Create any variables for the fields that must be entered before the report is executed. To create a variable, on the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
     From the navigation menu, choose SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report Writer → Variable → Create.
     In the Command field, enter transaction GS11 and choose .
Note that this procedure is not necessary for the sample report in the next section.
Creating a Report with Report Painter
When you are ready to create the report using Report Painter, use the following steps.
Example Task: Creating a report using Report Painter
1.     On the SAP Easy Access screen, either:

To help you better understand how to create a report in Report Painter, the next procedures explain the varying substeps. You can either:
o     Define the rows (or rows with a formula)
o     Define the columns (or columns with a formula)
o     Define the general data selection
Define Rows
Example Task: Defining rows (including defining a row with a formula)
To start defining the rows, on the Report Painter: Create Report screen, double click on Row
On the Element definition: Row1 dialog box:
a.     To include characteristics in the first row of the report, select the desired characteristics in the Available characteristics frame (for example, Account number)
b.     Use to transfer the chosen characteristic to the Selected characteristics frame.
c.     In From, enter the account number(s) you want to include in the row definition. Either enter to and from values or a group set (for example, the value 800000).
d.     To enter the row heading, choose
On the Text maintenance dialog box:
a.     In Short, enter the desired short text (for example, Revenue).
b.     To copy the short text into the Medium and Long text fields, choose Copy short text.
c.     To continue, choose
On the Element definition: Row1 dialog box:
a.     To check if the selection is correct, choose Check.
b.     To transfer the selection to the row 1 definition, choose Confirm.
You have now defined the first row.
To define the second row for costs, on the Report Painter: Create Report screen, double-click on Row 2.
On the Select element type dialog box:
a.     Select Characteristics.
b.     Choose
On the Element definition Row 2 dialog box:
a.     To include characteristics in the second row of the report, select the desired characteristics in the Available characteristics frame (for example, Account number)
b.     Use to transfer the chosen characteristic to the Selected characteristics frame.

d.     To enter the row heading, choose
On the Text maintenance dialog box:
a.     In Short, enter the desired short text (for example, Costs).
b.     Choose Copy short text to copy the short text into the Medium and Long text fields.
c.     To continue, choose
On the Report Painter: Create Report screen:
a.     You can now choose to add further rows with other required characteristics. In this example, you can create a formula in the third row.
b.     Double-click on Row 3.
On the Select element type screen:
                   a. Select Formula as the row element type.
                   b. Choose
On the Enter Formula screen:
a.     Enter the formula for Row 3. You can either type it in or use your mouse and the formula components buttons. If you type the formula, do not forget the spaces. In this example, Y001 and Y002 represent Revenue and Costs respectively.
b.     To check the correctness of the formula, choose Check.
c.     Choose
On the resulting Text maintenance dialog box:
a.     In Short field, enter the text for the formula field (for example, Gross Marg).
b.     In Medium and Long fields, enter the required text (for example, Gross Margin).
c.     Choose .
You have now defined three rows (Revenue, Costs, and Gross Margin).
Define Columns
Example Task: Defining columns
On the Report Painter: Create Report screen, double-click on the first column, Column 1.
On the Select Element Type (not shown) dialog box:
a.     Select Key Figure with characteristics.

On the Element definition: Column 1 dialog box:
c.     In the Basic Key figure field, use the dropdown to select Amount in company code curr.
d.     In the Available Characteristics frame, select the desired characteristic for column 1 (for example, Fiscal Year).
If you want to be prompted for the fiscal year at the time of running the report, you must make this a variable instead of a value.
e.     Choose to move the desired characteristic to the selected characteristics frame (for example, Fiscal year).
f.     Place your cursor in the From value field and select the checkbox to the left under (variable on/off).
g.     To view the possible entries for the From field, choose .
h.     From the resulting selection dialog box:
     Select a variable from the list of available variables (for example, CYear).

     In Short, enter a text for the column header (for example, Curr Year).
     To copy the short text to Medium and Long text fields, choose the Copy short text button.
     Choose .
Now you have defined the column 1 for your report.
k.     Back on the Element definition dialog box, choose Confirm.
On the Report Painter: Create Report screen, define column 2 and all other columns you choose to define. You can define these columns either by:
o     Repeating steps for column 1
o     Copying columns
o     Entering a formula that calculates the difference between columns (for example, between Current Year and Prior Year [variable is Pyear] in a column called Variance)
Adding a column or formula is similar to adding a row formula. After defining the rows and the columns, the screen would appear as follows.
General Data Selection
After you define the rows and columns, define the general data selection screen for the report.
Example Task: Defining the general data selection screen for the report
1.     On the Report Painter: Create Report screen, from the menu bar, choose Edit → General data selection.
2.     On the Element definition: General data selection screen:
a.     From the Available characteristics frame, select the fields to add to the general data selection as shown.
b.     Choose to move the selections into the Selected characteristics frame.
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.
      3.   On the Report Painter: Change Report screen:

To include the report into a report group, choose Environment → Assign report group.
      1.     On the Insert Report in Report Group dialog box:
a.     In Report group, enter a report group name (for example, ZTGR).
b.     Choose .
2.     On the Create report group dialog box, choose Yes to create and assign to a new report group.
Display and Execute the Report

o     Settings → Print page format to change the layout of the report output.
5.     To transfer the report to Microsoft Excel or Lotus 123, from the application toolbar, choose .
6.     On the Options dialog box, select the radio button of your choice and choose . Note that for the report to open in Microsoft Excel or Lotus 123, you need to have these applications installed on your PC.
7.     To get back to the original display of the report, select Inactive on the Options dialog box.
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,

Drill Down - Report Painter (Urgent)

Hi,
I need to add drill down i.e. transactions CJ74 and CJI4. IN transaction GR52, I added CJ74, CJI4 as TR and RKPEP003 as RT.
My problem :
When I execute the program, and doble click on the O/P row, pop is showing all the three options i.e
1. CJ74
2. CJI4
3. RKPEP003
If I select 1st two, it is throwing me out of the report.
In the last case, it is going to the o/p of report RKPEP003 and not displaying any data as it is taking the default values as they are when I execute RKPEP003 pgm in SE38 and it is not taking values from the row/column I selected in the report painter output.
Can you please let me know how to correct this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kiran.

Hi,
Since the report is running on the server, the output shall be as well. I don't think you can use desname to specify a local folder as the server knows nothing about local machine. It only has acces to it's resources.
The user will need to generate the report and then save to local disk. You could also think about other delivery methods such as email.
Hope that helps.
