Report Painter - CO-PA Clarification

Hello All,
I have few clarifications on the below in CO-PA Reports, could somebody help me out.
1. In the report form, i have set the columns to display in number format of 10,00,000. when i execute the report in the initial screen i dont have any problem, but when i drill down by product or some other characteristics, i am getting an additional row on the top saying "Displayed in 10,00,000 inr" for each column. Is there any way to avoid this, i dont want this row to get displayed for the drill down display.
2. In one report, the requirement is to calculate rate variance for the product, the formula i had setup is variance between the plan minus variance between the actual * sales qty. Its working fine when both the values exists. When there is no value in plan variance and values exits for actual variance, the output comes as per the formula, but conceptually when i dont have any plan values for variance, it should not calculate rate variance for the product. How can i setup in the formula or row or by anyway saying if there is no plan variance, the the rate variance should calculate.
Request you to share your experience in this, please
Thanks
With Regards

Hi,
Perameters in General Data Selection apply to the entire repost (every column and row). Since the four columns of your report are having different period and possibly different FY, you can not put these two parameters in General Data Selection. As my previous posting explained, in addition of standard variable &1PERIV and 1CGJAHE, you will need to define 3 more variables for period FY respectively:
Period Variable 1 - ZPERI2 - Formula: IF '&1PERIV' < 12 THEN '&1PERIV' + 1 ELSE 1
Period Variable 2 - ZPERI3 - Formula: IF '&ZPERI2' < 12 THEN '&ZPERI2' + 1 ELSE 1
Period Variable 3 - ZPERI4 - Formula: IF '&ZPERI3' < 12 THEN '&ZPERI3' + 1 ELSE 1
FY Variable 1 - ZGJAHR2 - Formula: IF '&1PERIV' < 12 THEN '&CGJAHE' ELSE '&CGJAHE' + 1
FY Variable 2 - ZGJAHR3 - Formula: IF '&1PERIV' < 11 THEN '&CGJAHE' ELSE '&CGJAHE' + 1
FY Variable 3 - ZGJAHR4 - Formula: IF '&1PERIV' < 10 THEN '&CGJAHE' ELSE '&CGJAHE' + 1
You then use variable 1PERIV and 1CGJAHE for column 1, ZPERI2 and ZGJAHR2 for column 2, ZPERI3 and ZGJAHR3 for column 3, and ZPERI4 and ZGJAHR4 for column 4.

Line Items missing in report painter report..

Hi guri's,
Iam uisng customized P&L report painter report using with library 1VK....in this report some line items are not shwoing..... how to solve it...
regars
JK

After you've create a P&L report using the report painter, you would also have to create line item reports for example 'Receiver- Profit Center Line Items' and then assign these line items reports under 'Report/Report Interface' in the P&L report.
How to do this:
1. After creating the line item report(s), use transaction code GR52 which is for change report group. Enter the P&L report group and click enter.
2. Under 'Report/Report Interface', click on 'configure' under assigned report to library.
3. In the pop-up screen, click on the green plus sign "Insert Row"
4. Another screen will pop-up. Enter the report group for the line items report and enter.
5. Save
6. Regenerate your report group. After regeneration, execute.
7. Drill-down in the displayed P&L report to the line items.
Don't hestitate to ask for further clarifications.

Report Painter versus ABAP Report

Hi everyone:
Can someone tell me what are pros and cons of developing OR Running reports in Report Painter?
Secondly can someone tell me when should one develop reports in ABAP and when should one develop reports in Report Painter?
Thanks in advance
R

Almost the entire SAP R3 System is written in ABAP u2013 including the Report Painter.
The Report Painter is a tool for the end user to create evaluation reports without having to involve the IT Department. He therefore has the information he requires within the limitations of the Report Painter very quickly. No programming involved.
An ABAP Report has to be written by a programmer/developer. It takes much longer, has to be tested, and, when everything is okay, be transported into the production system. This is time consuming and expensive. The report may have to modified at a later date u2013 again by a programmer/developer, which in turn also costs more time and money. A report created using the Report Painter can be modified or created immediately by the end user, i.e. low costs, immediate results.
I hope this clarifies the matter.

You can pretty much do most of what your colleague is enquiring about.
1. Create a report library GR21
     -   Table name: E.g GLPCT. You can copy an existing library and modify.
     -   Description: E.g Branches P& L Reports
     - Check off the characteristics he wants
     - Check off key figures
     - Check off basic key figures.
Define sets and variables if need to with t-codes GS01 and GS11 respectively.
2. Create a report group GR51
3. Create report either using GRR1 or GR31
   - Enter the library you created above
   - Enter report name
   - You can copy from an existing report and make changes to your likeness
   - Define you general data selection
   - Element definition which is the columns and rows
   - Click on Extras and define report headers
- Click on Formatting to format columns and rows
4. Assign report to report group created earlier on.
The above guidelines are the basics on how to proceed.

Report painter layout variants

Dear sirs,
a colleague of mine needs your experience. Our customer needs us to create some Report Painter reports with the possibility to change the layout. Is this/ something like this possible?
An example would be to pick up the columns or to change number format: see numbers in units or tousands of units. Something like ALV variants/ layout?
Any customizing option or workaround would help, thanks Otto

Creation of report with the help of report painter

Hello Chinasammy,
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.
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.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the process for creating reports using Report Painter as a tool.
Selecting and maintaining a library for your report: As the transfer structure to Report Painter you use a report table, which is defaulted by SAP and can not be maintained. This table contains characteristics, key figures and predefined columns. In a library, you collect the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns from the report table, which you need for your Report Painter reports.
When you define a Report Painter report, you assign it to a library. Reports assigned to one library can only use the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for that library.
When you create or maintain a library, the Position field determines the sequence in which the characteristics, key figures or (predefined) key figures appear in the Report Painter selection lists when you define a report. This allows you to position the objects that you use regularly in your reports at the beginning of the selection lists. If you do not make an entry in the Position field, you will not be able to use this object in Report Painter reports.
You can use either the standard SAP libraries for your reports or define your own.
(ii) Selecting or maintaining a standard layout for your report: Standard layouts determine report layout features and the format of your report data.If the SAP standard layouts do not meet your reporting requirements, you can create a new standard layout or change an existing one.
(iii) Defining row and column models: A model is a one-dimensional, predefined reporting structure that you can insert in either the rows or columns of your report.If you often use the same or similar row or column definitions in your reports, it is recommended that you create row or column models.
You must define the row and/or column models that you want to include in your report definition before you define the report.
You can also use the standard column models supplied by SAP.
(iv) Defining the report: Defining a Report Painter report involves the following steps.
(a) Define the report columns: You define the report columns using the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for the library that the report uses. Alternatively, you can use a column model for column definition. Column models are predefined column structures which you insert into your entire column definition, instead of defining each individual column.
(b) Define the report rows: You define the report rows using the characteristics selected for the library selected for the report.
Alternatively, you can use a row model for your row definition. Row models serve the same purpose as column models, but are used to define a report row.
Edit and format the report rows and columns in line with your requirements. (For example, you can hide rows or columns, define the column width or define colors for your report rows).
(iii)Define general data selection criteria for the selection of your report data: Selection criteria are the characteristics used to select data for the entire report. You cannot enter characteristics as data selection criteria if they are already being used in the report rows or columns.
(iv) Assigning the report to a report group: Once you have defined a report, you must assign it to a report group. A report group can contain one or more reports from the same library. However, reports that share the same data will select data more quickly and improve processing time.
Hopw this helps you. Please let me know if you need anything more and assign points.

Changing header in report painter

Hi All,
I have a requirement to change the header(column). I am using the global variable &5PY(Period/Year) in the characterictics value. So it displays an output like 06.2008. But the client needs this to be displayed as June 2008.
Kindly help me out with this.
Regards,
Karthik

In report painter you can select variouselements based on which the data will be pulled. I haven't seen any report painter with two header lines and don't think report painter allows that. But for your requirement I believe you can select the periods in the header line itself.
