in the above report it is linked with KSB1 tcode there the above layour has been used. in the standard layout there is no resources and yield field is available. how to bring and why it is not available in standard layout field list. is there any performance issue leads into that? and also material field no material number is not pulling.
Can you tell me why this is happening and why those fields resources and yield where not available in standard layout?

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.
Refer back for any further clarifications.

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

Change font size and layout of reports in Report painter

Hi,
I want to change the print layout and the fonts of reports created in Report Painter.
In the print output i am getting 40% of the total screen
My requirement is to increase the font size and the print layout to fullscreen so that the report layout fits to the page.
Kindly help.
Parin

Hi,
Well i generate a report which has two three columns.....
1) Description
2) Column 1 for fiscal year 2009
3) Column 2 for fiscal year 2008 for comparison
Here after these columns we have unformated space as a column.
Now we tried to hide this column but the system is not allowing to hide this.
How can we remove this unformatted column/space from the print output.
Thanking you,

Report painter variants/ layouts

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

My users are very lazy and want me to do the columns changes automatically. An example: the supervisors work with much money and the want to see the numbers in tousands only. The basic users need to see the whole numbers. This is the simplified problem. And I don´t want to copy each RP report 5-10 times. And yes, I am an ABAPer, and if it would not be so time demanding requirement I would program the ALV reports instead of these RP.
New idea: could you extract the RP report code out of the generated report to reuse it in the standard ALV report?
Thank you for your effort, Otto

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.

I have a standard report and it uses a structure to pull the data for the report. I need to create a custom report which uses the same structure, selection screen but a different layout. Could any of u plz advice, if its doable in report painter or just plain abap program?? Also I am interested to know how the report painter stores the actual report?? as ABAP program?? Please help..urgent..
check the SAP help ..

I had made couple of SD reports in report painter 4 year ago .. as far as process is concern you have create library , but it deals with information structure which start with s0* , after defining information structure in library it take to select the fields and display them on your out put . information structure have the statistical data most of the time . As i worked on information structure , so31,32,33 .....
I t creates ABAP program like ABAP query creates in background . if you execute Customer Over due analysis or in Co02 cost analysis report or MC* ( MM stock reports ) those are in report painter .
Hope this'll give you some guide line ...
As far as I know about report painter, It create a report in background..Like when you make ABAP query (SQ01, 02, 03 ) .. It will create a report. You cant modify the report . You have to get OSS id in order to do that. if you're ready do it then you can pass it to Memory and can achieve your goal ...
I think it will give you some hint. I wish I could have authorization to use report painter on my this project so I can help you out practically.
Please see these steps , it`ll help you ...
http://www.thespot4sap.com/Articles/Code_CostCentreReport.asp
The variation objects are coming from the sets.
For example, when you read the report 'Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance'(T-code : S_ALR_87013611), you can find the characteristic 'Cost Center' is set as a 'set variable'. So the cost center in the report left side are coming from the cost center group that you input.
Does any know if we could use Report Painter across two controlling areas? Any documentation available will be great. Yes. When setting up a report in CCA you can have multiple controlling areas. In the General data selection you will have the option for the CA as a selection.
You can also use standard references objects to construct your own reports: libraries, standard layouts, default columns, and row and column models, all in the standard R/3 System, are available for custom reports.
Report Painter report definition requires several Preparatory Steps, depending on the complexity of the report to be generated.
1) Create a library and pick your reporting tables.
2) Create your report
3) define your set up within the report
a)General data selections
b)Colimns
c) rows
d) formulas
Standard layouts are maintained in the IMG "Financial Accounting" under "Special Ledger -> Information System -> Maintain standard layout.
Create libraries, which means assigning the
characteristics
key figures
Predefined columns
For each of these categories you need to select the objects to be used in reports of the specific library. You define the sequence of the objects in the selection lists of the Report Painter in field "Position". Frequently used objects should be at the top of the list.

Is it possible to make bigger the text a I have on a text field?, Im using the screen painter and I need to put the title bigger (as a requirment).
You can define your text as any length.If you are talking about the font,i am afraid you cannot do that.
No, you can not change the size(font) of the text on the dynpro, you can hightlight it, which changes the color to "blue" to make it stand out. You can change this on the attributes tab when double-clicking on the element in screen painter.
what is the sentence that open a screen painter file
Don´t really understand what you mean with "open a screen painter file".
If you are speaking about showing a form generated with the screen painter,
Dim oXMLDoc As New MSXML2.DOMDocument
oXMLDoc.load("Form.xml")
SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(oXMLDoc.xml)
Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("YourFormID")
oForm.Visible = True

Report Painter form issue

Hi
I have changed the form layout in KE85 for one of our report painter report. I have transported the changes to quality. The form changes are appearing as per Development but the screenlayout is not changed.
Is there anything else I should do like import, or generate the report etc. If so kindly let me know the details.
Thanks
N Sankar

Hi Franc
Thank you very much for your valuable input. But my report does not have report group. It is a report created by using a form in KE84. This form is attached to a t_code and the same transported to quality. In quality the form changes are appearing in the form. Whereas when I execute the form changes are not called.
This is what confusing me a lot. Can you please guide me on this.
Thanks
N Sankar

Report Painter Report for Profit Center

Thanks Abhijit , I can now see my report group at the bottom of the list .I assigned you full points.I posted another question regarding report painter .If you could also give me some guidance on that.When I was creating rows and updating cost elements with account numbers.I set up 3 revenue accounts and then ran the report to see if I get any data for profit centers.I did get data but when I double clicked on one of the account,it displays this messsage.I read the msg. but could not make any sense with it.for example in definning row I put account number from/to 400000- 400000    Explode. and thats a characteristic.
No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
Report MEG1 does not contain any data pages.
No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
Message no. GR633
Diagnosis
No valid master data within the specified interval was found for the characteristic 'Account Number'.
Explanation:
For each characteristic that is processed in a report, the Report Writer optimizes the interval limits which are relevant for selecting data from the database.
Example:
A report contains the characteristic 'account', for which an account interval from 100000 to 200000 has been entered. However, if the master data validation shows that the lowest/highest account in this interval is 110000/190000, the selection will be limited to accounts 110000 to 190000 only.
The system returns this error message if no master data exists for the interval.
This error is typically caused by an invalid version. In FI-SL Special Purpose Ledger, for example, versions are assigned to the ledger and are defined in configuration. The report definition can then contain a non-defined version. A similar situation applies to controlling (cost center accounting): here, versions are assigned to the controlling area and fiscal year and can be defined in planning.
Another cause of this error is a ledger that is not assigned to the table for which the report was created.
Technical information:
The field name for 'Account Number' is 'RACCT'.
System Response
The system cancels processing.
Procedure
Check the report definition, or the specified master data, or the intervals.
Regards
Shaun

Cost element description now showing in Report painter

Hi,
I selected to display KEY and DESCRIPTION in the report layout settings for a report painter however the report is displaying only the cost element number and not the description in the rows.
In this case, how to display the cost element description in the report painter rows?

Hi,
ensure that KEY + DESCRIPTION is selected in the layout settings. Description will only appear if it is maintained in the logon-language (means if your logon language is EN but cost element texts are not maintained in EN no descripiton can be seen).
best regards, Christian

Report Painter insert blank line after report header

Hi Expert,
I have a problem to insert a blank line (a spacing) after the report header of my customized report painter.
For example, in standard cost center report, S_ALR_87013611, there is a small box listed information like cost center/group ... and reporting period.
Right after reporting period, the report header box ends, and there is a space line between it and the cost element data ...
For my customized report painter, I cannot make this space line.
I tried edit > row > insert blank line ... but not successful ... kindly advise.
Thanks and regards,
-CK

Hi
In KKO2 go to output tab, here under layout, tick header and then press pencil symbol and in the editor you write your header. I think this will give you desired result.

Report Painter Drilldown on Cost Element for Project Systems

I am currently working on a report for Project Systems. I am trying to copy the functionality of the Internal Order summary (60I2-001) into report group 6P3. I was able to copy the whole layout and also the values of 6oI2-001 into a copy of 6PP4-001 but when I double click on "Balance" it is bringin up the ALV report that 6PP4-001 is using. I would like to call another report which looks like 6LS0-001 but contains Project System info made in report painter when I double click on Balance. Is this possible? Please let me know how.

Hi Avinash,
See my replies below.
1 a & B: You are planning Qty on NWA and capturing costs - labor & Equipment on NWA elements.
When you are having elaborated to NWA-Element level, split your total work on each NWA-element and post labor cost. Thus you will have planned Vs actual costs at one place.
coming to equipment cost - are you capturing using PO through GR?.
2.a : Option1- create a separate WBS elements for materials and plan cost at WBS level. That value would be your total planned cost of material procurement as estimated. Under this WBS elements create NWAs and assign the materials. With this set up you can assign material and procure so that will have actual costs coming from GR.
Option 2: Create a one General Cost activity and assign the total planned cost of material on this NWA.
When you assign the material components, diligently you have to reduce the equivalent amount from the general costs activity. Also note that on component screen, you have to check box "Cost relevant" so that material cost will add to Cost NWA. Let the different materials have their own valuation class and have default CEs accordingly. that would not be big issue.
Please discuss with your MM team to get more information. Also my suggestion is to leave blank CE field in configuration.
The option2 is very cumbersome and high risk but one have to be very cautious to reduce the value from Cost NWA in order to sustain the planned material costs whenever they added.
3. I have answered the relevance of Cost relevance check box in above.
Hope above makes sense.
Thanks,
Sudhakar
