Report Painter - ERP Financials - Question on Value Variable useage

I want to use a value variable that works in Report Writer (table GLPCT, field MSL [quantity] but cannot select MSL as a variable field in Report Painter to insert the same variable (it is not a selectable characteristic) using the same Library and Table.
Is there a way to make the field selectable in Report Painter in order to select a value variable that uses the field MSL ?  It is a valid field in the Library that I am building the report in.
In building the columns, I can select characteristic fields such as:
Ledger
Record Type
Version
Fiscal Year
Profit Center
Functional Area
Account number
Period
etc
but not MSL Quantity.  Is there configuration to make this (or any field) accessible to Report Painter ?
Any advice is welcome.....
Thanks......

Quantity is a key figure. When you create the column values you would get this from the key figure drop list.

  • Report Painter - Use of Constants / Local Formula Variable

    Hi,
    I am using constant and/or local formula variable in report painter in FSI.
    I could use both the values for calculating percentages, ie. it can be used for multiplication or division. However, when I try to use it for addition or subtraction, I am getting the error message no. KH206.
    In all cases, I am using different values in the formula, i.e. a absolute figure and a GL based figure.
    I am not able to understand, why it even allows me for calculating percentage.
    Can anyone help me in using a absolute figure for input and thereafter use it in addition / subtraction.
    I would prefer an immediate solution to this as I am in the final stages of this report.
    Full points guaranteed.....

    Hi Kash,
    Thanks for your reply..
    Can you elaborate bit further. You mean to say I should create a Constant with some value.
    Thereafter how should I bring that in the form. But, How do I enter the Constant in the Formula... There is no key for entering any text in the formula.. there are only ID (the values which we bring in the form and which can be selected for the formula) and numbers which can be entered.
    So how do I enter the name of the Constant?
    I tried just keying in the name of the Constant, and I could check the formula also, However, while saving the form, I am getting an error,
    Element WCaplimit Bis letztem ATag bis &$BISD is not defined correctly -> check definition
    Message no. KH206
    Diagnosis
    In element WCaplimit Bis letztem ATag bis &$BISD the system adds quantities and values or different currencies.
    Can you please revert back with step by step solution?
    Appreciate your prompt reply.... Thanks

    Hi,
    Easier option is to create a profit center group excluding the dummy profit center and assign it in the report painter instead of the variable.
    Other option is at the time of executing the report, exclude the dummy profit center with out making any changes in the report.

  • FSV item(GL) not appearing in drilldown mode of report painter

    Hi,
    Actually i have added GL account of Cash on hand in FSV of the client and have assigned the same in the balance sheet report in report painter.
    However i am not able to see the line items of the Cash on hand GL which i have assigned in the report painter.
    Also the report painter is picking up the values from the Cash on hand GL but is not showing me the line items of that particular GL.
    What can be the reason?

    Hi,
    One question.... Is this a Select List or a Popup LOV?
    The settings to check are:
    Source Used: Always,....
    Source Type: Database Column
    Source value or expression: The field name the table
    The List of Values section should also contain valid settings - You should either have a Named LOV selected or specified a select statement in the List of values definition setting.
    You should also check to see if there is any Default value or a Post Calculation Computation that may be clearing the field.

  • Report Painter-Profit Center

    HI,
    I am created one report painter, in the library 8A2, while generating i am selecting one profit center, but it shows all the profit center values,
    how i can deterimene on selection bases, if i select one profit centr it shows only  that profit center, if i select group or all profit center , it pick the values accordingly.
    Kinly help this issue.
    Thanks and regards.
    Sriram

    Hi
    In your report painter configuration, are you using a variable to specify the Profit centers to be selected for the report? You can find this out by checking:
    the general data selection menu or
    by double clicking the rows or columns in the report to see where the Profit center parameters have been defined.
    If you get the name of this variable, open it using T.Code GS12 and make sure that the value under the "Entry fields on selection screen" section is set to "set and value entry." This setting should allow you select a range as well.

  • How to use Value Variable in Report Painter Column defined as Formula

    Hi Gurus,
    In report painter, how can I add one field (exchange rate) in selection screen, so that user can provide the exchange rate to be used, then execute the report, the exchange rate will used to multiple local currency amount.
    The reason for this is we want use provided exchange rate to convert the amount from once currency to the other currency.
    Alternatively I am studying the functionality of "Value Variable" and found that I can perform the task from this. I have created the value variable but when I am using the variable in Report Painter columns as "&ZVALVAR", system is giving me error. I read the help and it states that use the variable with "&" and do it as it is mentioned.
    Can anybody suggest what I need to do to make it workable.
    Thanks

  • Question on Values from Report Painter

    Hi All
    I have defined a report painter report using the Library 0FL allowing the dril down functionality.
    however, when i drill down on a certain figure, the amount showin on the report is not in sync with the total I get when i drill down..
    Can anyone suggest to me why this is happening and how i can get the 2 figures to match?
    Thank you
    Rukshana

    Hellio Rukshana,
    I would suggest you to please check the SAP Note 1317478 (Report Writer: Drilldown not handled properly).
    In case the problem is not solved, please execute first the report RFFMRC20 and later report RFFMRC04 and reconstruct data.
    Here it is important that you execute these programs only for the earmarked fund that you are having the issue. Execute it in one test system in test run first and look for results.
    RFFMRC04  program analyzes differences between line items and totals records in Funds Management.
    If you start the program as an update run, it automatically adjusts the relevant totals records.
    Ensure that no postings are made while the program is running as this may lead to errors being displayed where none has occurred. If the program finds FM account assignments where the line item total is not the same as the relevant totals record, these lines are marked in red. The system displays the amount total (totals record), line item total, and amount type for each line.
    Please check the documentation of this program in SE38 for more information.
    I hope this helps.
    Kindly let me know if you are talking about some other drill down fucntionality other than the above.
    Thank you.

    Note:
    *Z-ANOACT = Variable so that with a user-exit calculates the actual year. Right now is 2006.

    ABDUL: I understand the ABAP Code but the information is saved in the table according to the fiscal calendar.
    Fiscal Calendar Number of the MonthYear
    January             7                    2006
    February            8                    2006
    March               9                    2006     
    April               10                    2006
    May                 11                    2006     
    June                12                    2006
    July                1                    2007
    Augost              2                    2007

    October             4                    2007
    November            5                    2007     
    December            6                    2007
    Normally, We are in November 2006 (month=11, year 2006).
    However, fiscally; We are November 2007 (month=5, year=2007).
    Important Notes:
    •     The information is saved according to the fiscal calendar in the table.
    •     My end-user wants to filtrate the information from January to November . I mean
    Actual Year  : 2006               Actual Year   :  2007
    From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
    To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
    I understand you told me about the ABAP code, for example my characteristics in the general data selection are:
    Actual Year  : 2006
    From   Period: 7
    To       Period: 5   (I would have an error here because From-Period Variable is greater than To-Period Variable)
    According the ABAP code you told me, this would be:
    Actual Year  : 2006
    From   Period: 1
    To       Period: 11
    If I run the report with these last parameters you told me, report painter only would add information from year 2006 and fiscal months 1 to 11 (July to May except June).  We don’t want this, that we want is :
    Actual Year  : 2006               Actual Year   :  2007
    From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
    To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
    How can I do this?? My email is [email protected] or [email protected]
    Right now, the end-user runs the report twice and adds the information in excel. One run for :
    Actual Year  : 2006
    From   Period:      7
    To       Period:     12
    And other run with:
    Actual Year   :  2007
    From    Period:      1
    To        Period:       5
    But the question is how you can do it with only a run and in this way:
    Actual Year  : 2006               Actual Year   :  2007
    From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
    To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
    Thanks if someone can help me!!

  • Report Painter - creating variables - foreign currency

    Hi Abap Gurus,
    in Report Painter we have a customized report to print "Financial Statement" (with a specific balance structure ). I am asked to add BLART field in selection-screen. I was thinking to create variable in GS11 transaction but I don't know if it's the right solution. The "library" is linked to GLT0 table (balance account) so how can I obtain details related to BKPF-BLART "document type" ? The second question is "how to display the Financial Statement in a different currency ? "
    Thanks in advance to those of you who can provide helps .
    Andrew

    When you create your variable first enter the variable name. Second enter the reporting "table" to use. Third enter the "field'. Press enter. Next enter a default value for your field. Save you variable. It is now ready to use in your report painter.
    Using the PCA reporting tables gives you the profit center but not the cost center. You can only use one reporting table per report. you will need a cctr report for that.
    First create your own libray from GLPCT. Next create your report using your new library. The report painter can do the calculations that you have shown.
    You create a formula in the row or column to calculate your sub totals.
    pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

  • Report painter question FI-GL or FI-SL?

    Hello
    I have a general question on reports created via report painter.
    I want to create a BS & PL report to see balances by month, and am trying to determine considerations to take into account.
    Creation of a report where I can see the balance of an entire year is my goal.
    From my limited understanding, I know I can create it in FI-GL or FI-SL.
    For FI-GL, the global variable formulas I need to create look to be a pain, since they reference user exits (to calculate periods 1-12). Maybe its not that difficult, but Im not that knowledgable on this yet.
    FI-SL (Special Ledger) is something that looks very usable, and I was planning on creating a special ledger and creating a BS report for it. But my concern is its reading from a different ledger. Are there cases where a discrepancy arises between ledgers?
    If anyone has any advice on the the FI-SL or report painter, I would appreciate it
    Regards,
    Ken

    Period shall be included in the column characteristics. Check the variables or Values in column definition for the characteristic period.
    You could either give the values of period 1 for col 1, 2  for col 2, etc
    or you may use variables for period. The variables can be a formula variable with conditions.
    You make the user to enter a value for the 'To period'  (ZTOPRD)
    The value for the variable for column 2 (Feb) shall be  = 2, if ZTOPRD > or equal to  2  else, give some 17 .
    This way when the user enters a value of 1in the to period, the system would default 17, for which there won't be any values.
    You may extrapolate the above formula for various remaining columns of period.

  • Report Painter question (FGI1) How to limit output up to a specified period

    Hello
    I have a report painter question.
    I am trying to create a BS report using tcode FGI1 (FALGFLEXT), that lists out the BS values by month (Jan - Dec).
    But the problem I am coming across is, if I specify selection parameter 01 2008, the report also populates the same values into the unposted months ahead (Feb/Mar/April)
    Something is wrong with my parameters.
    Is there a way I can limit the report output up to the specified period/month?
    I thought I might be able to work around this by creating a formula/variable (like in GL-SL), but it doesnt seem to be the case.
    Any thoughts appreciated
    regards
