Report Painter - Hide library and report instead of deleting

Good Afternoon Everyone,
My finance users are pressuring me to clean up the navigation in the GRR3 report painter transaction. Many of the libraries that are displayed are standard SAP libraries and I'm hesitant to begin deleting standard SAP libraries, reports, and report groups since you can't get those back once deleted. Is there a possibility to hide libraries/reports that are not being used any longer? I'm on my own and would like your input about what the best practice is when faced with this scenario. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
I don't know if its possible to suppress/hide libraries/reports.
Create T-codes for the reports the users really need and add the reports to the corresponding area menu in SAP. Thus users don't have a need to use GRR3 anymore, remove the T-code from the authorization concept.
best regards, Christian

Report painter- Amount in Document currecy instead of LC

Hi,
   Am new to report painter. i created report painter in FDI4. this report is to display the due amount.
   when i click on table cell, which is amount field . Am chosen cell type as 'Select with Key figure' option .
   After then i try to select key figure for that cell (Popup:Element definition).
   In F4 selection there is only one Key figure which is Amount in LC.
   I need to display the field value as Amount in Document currency.
   How to bring Amount in Docment curreny in that F4. Is it possible.
I didnt get any thread related to my requirement in SDN.
pl help.

Solved by myself..
Two steps to be taken to bring Amount in Doc. currency as a key figure(F4 help).
1. Added new field 'WRSHB' , data element for this field WRSHB_D (Used Append Structure) in RFRRD20 structure. FDI4 used this structure only.
2. create new entries in TKAF table under application class Account receivable FBRD. field value WRSHB ,data element value WRSHB_D, and others field value are as same as DMSHB record.
After these steps, now u check in FDI4 tcode. U can get Amt in doc. currency as key figure.

Report painter- business area and Cost center

Hi All,
we have a requirement to create the Report painter report where in the Revenue will be By business area and cost of the particular cost center by Cost element.
i.e revenue by Business area against cost by department.
It it possible to use report painter to create such report?. when i was going through the report painter it does not allow me to pull the cost by department .
Best regards
Rajesh dhulipalla

Hi,
Business consolidation is for more of consolidation purpose and cost center grouping is more for management reporting purpose for cost control purposes.
Both the organizational units serve for different purposes. Consolidatied business will not have much meaning unless you go with EC-CS.
Cost Center Groups are much for control purpose and help in managerial reporting.
Business Units are part of FI Organizational Structure and Cost Centers are part of CO organizational structures.

Report Painter vs FM Drilldown Reports

Hello Experts:
We are upgrading from Former Budgeting to BCS and are attempting to use the report painter tool for our reports. I have not used the report painter tool much although it is similar to the FM Drilldown Reporting functionality. My question is:
With FM Drilldown Reporting, characteristic FM acct asst was available as a row choice and included fund, funds center, and commitment item. It appears with report painter that each of these is a separate characteristic which creates three lines on the report instead of one.
Example:
FM Drilldown Reports
Fund/Funds Center/Comm Item    $$$
Report Painter
Commitment Item $$$
Funds Center       $$$$
Fund                     $$$$$
I know that we could use Fund and/or Funds Center as variations but we want them to appear on a line in the report so that when the report is downloaded, the information appears as in my Drilldown report example.   Is there a way to create a characteristic that includes all three FM assignments? Or some other method to accomplish this?

Hi Everyone:
I am still fighting with Report Painter. I am now trying to figure out how to pull Period in as a column characteristic even though I have it as a characteristic in the General Data Selection. I'm using Library 4FM for budget reporting. My end users want to be able to execute the report by period but for certain columns of the report be able to see all periods displayed. Example:
Adjusted Budget - All Periods
Commitments - Period from selection screen
Expenses - Period from selection screen
I do not understand the use of the GRCT transaction. Are there any links that might provide detailed instructions for it's use?
I would appreciate any assistance/guidance you can provide.

Difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013

Hi, We are building company site with Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Edition and were wondering what is the difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013? What are the roles/purposes of each one? What
happens if only Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode installed or vise versa.
Thank you in advance

Reporting Services in SharePoint mode is a service for displaying, managing, and creating SSRS reports within SharePoint. The addin is a pre-req for SharePoint that is used to display reports and is required for Reporting Services in Native or SharePoint
mode, but does not by itself do anything.

Difference between Reports in normal ABAP and Reports in CRM

Hi Experts,
I am new to CRM. Can someone tell me the Difference between Reports in normal ABAP and Reports in CRM.
It will be very useful if someone explains with example.
Some where in SDN i read in CRM we should not select statment. Then how to fetch data?
Please give me more basic concepts about CRM programming.
Thanks,
RAGU

Hi Ragu,
You can find much information at http://service.sap.com/crm-inst.
Go to Installation & Upgrade Guides -> SAP Business Suite Applications -> SAP CRM
Check the CRM version in which you are working and get the documents.
FMs are specific to the requirement. Like all Business Partner related FMs generally start with BUPA* or BAPI_BUPA*.
For CRM transaction data you can get info using FM CRM_ORDER_READ. To create a new transaction use CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN and CRM_ORDER_SAVE.
More information can be fetched by surfing through the SDN threads and checking in SE37 t-code.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Saumya

Does report painter is dependent on report writer

Hi,
can anyone tell me that whether the report painter is dependent on report writer.
if iam going to learn sap painter alone then also we have to use sets , key figures etc.
if there is any dcument or pdf file please send me the link.
thanks,
joseph.

hi,
Report Writer functions can be accessed from within the Report Painter.
The difference lies in the GUI of the report painter.

Creation of Library and Report in Report Painter with Z tables.

HI,
When I am creating library in report painter with Z table it is giving the following error message 'Table ZCO_SEMI_FIN_VAL is not installed in Report Writer'.
Can u help me how u install Z table in report painter and create the characteristic and key figure of the Z table in the library.
Regards,
Partha B

Hi Partha Pratim Bhar,
In order to bring / enable a Z table for you to build a library, you will have to set it at transaction GRCT.
Here you need to configure - table (Z table) , characteristics and Key figures.
You can refer any other tables by SAP in GRCT for reference.
Revert if you require additional help.

hi,
first i copied the report 12KST1G in my Y12KST1G with form. In CJE2 when i Click this report then in the whatever fields coming in the characteristics we can put it in 'variables' tab and these will be the fields which is displayed on the selecton screen. So after doing the wbove changes in the exit , I am not able to get the fields in characteristics vale so that I can put it in variable. or do we have to do some chnages in the screen for this z report which is like std. one.
FYI..The display of the fields was done in z-report with library but this is like a report without library and we did some chnages in the exit.
Pls Suggest

Attaching Variable to the Library for Report Painter for Cost center report

Hi,
I want to attach the Variable - "Cost element group" to the Library for Report Painter for getting Cost center report. The Cost center report should be cost element group wise with actaul, budget and variance. Please let me know the process.

hi..
I think you have to first define Attribute mis as "V" in Cost element master basic data tab for the elements you want to capture as varible.
Then make a Cost element group / set in KAH1/GS01 and use it in your report.

Report Painter Schedule Run and Output File

Hi,
I want to set a schedule job auto execute by Report Painter reports and output the file in the server. What can I do?
Thank you!
Steven

Hi,
When you are executing a Job, it may be online or batch processing definitely a report output will come.
You need a report painter when you need to modify various elements, characteristics and Values as per
the client requirement. You can well take the help of an ABAP consultant to modify the existing report to a Z Report or create a Userdefined TCode to generate the required report directly.
