Report Painter - Need help & assistance

Hi,
I have been assigned a project where I need to use the Report Painter to copy the report behind transaction code IP31 (maintenance plan costing) and modify the copy in the report painter (according to modification requests/technical specs.)
How do I make a copy for use in the report painter? How do I modify the copy? What else do I need to know?
Please help.
Thanks,
John

Report Painter Currency Help

Hello Gurus!!
I'm a report painter user for almost a month, i've been doing a report using multiple currencies, it has worked well, but i need it now to make it to a target currency (lets say, Japanese Yens, YEN), the money is originally in mexican pesos (MXN), the company money unit is dollars (USD).
I want to make a conversion directly from MXN to YEN, but the sistems makes this conversion: MXN->USD->YEN, i've made lots of changes on the system, and still can't find out how to resolve this, i need direct conversions, not the triangulation its making, hope u can help me, thanks!!

Hi,
You can copy and create the new report with column defined with basic key figure as "Total Cost in Object Currency".
You also have the option to translate the report from one currency to another inn final output.
Hope this helps.

Crystal report ..need help

Hi,
I'm a beginer in crystal report.
I have developed an application and when published and put in a test server (web server), report is not working..!!!
Should I buy crystal report to deploy it.??
plz help me
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
~ratheesh

Just wanted to back up Lloyd on this one. The only way you can distribute the CR runtime is to use either the merge modules and create your own deployment, or the msi file. So, unfortunately, you only have three options;
1) convince the hosting company that you need to do a deployment (recommend you test the deployment on your own test environment first)
2) find a hosting company that will let you do a deployment
3) host the app on your own server
Of course there is one other option, but me posting it here as an SAP employee would probably not sound right...

In Report Painter, need to find out how a field is defined.

I'm trying to find out how a field used in a current report is defined. For example, columns 2-13 are monthly columns. Double clicking on the column name (April), for example, brings up the box "Element Definition: April;$Year. The Value Field is Net Sales. Clicking the drop down box brings up a group of fields, including Net Sales.
The Field Name for Net Sales is MA0001. How do I find out how this field is defined and what accounts are included in it?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer. I was able to track 'Net Sales' as a part of a Key Figure Structure and as an element of Key Figure 'Net Sales'. However, when I get into CO-PA, Information System, there is no line for 'Report Components'.
There are the following lines/folders: Display Line Item List, Define Report,Current Settings, Background Processing. I looked at all the possibilities in those line items/folders and nothing was there. Is there another way to get at it?
Thanks again.

Infotype Auditing-Report RPUAUD00 need help urgently.

Hi,
I am developing an outbound interface which captures the specific changed data in infotypes 1,2,6,8 and download the same into an excel file on the local hard disk.
I found the report RPUAUD00 matches with requirement. But did not understand the difference between long term and short term documents.
My requirement is that I need to capture infotype changes for some specific set of infotype for specific group of employees and I need to capture it in following manner:-
If the changes happen for an employee number 10 times on 10 different days, then i need to send all these 10 rows into an output file.
Is the requirement related to short term or long term document?
What configuration is required related to maintaining views V_T585A, V_T585B, V_T585C respectively.
Thanks,
Ameet

You can test these FM out using SE37
HR_INFOTYPE_LOG_GET_LIST --> gets the header information
HR_INFOTYPE_LOG_GET_DETAIL --> extract the details.
Check to see if these are being used by sap in an existing report and see how they are being utilised.
I can't use these where I am as our documents are configured as Short.
Never be scared to have a go - this is how you learn and improve.
You have to develop an mentality of I don't know how but it must be possible and go for it.

Crystal Report Formula - Need Help

Hello Experts,
One of our customer does rental business and they use a third party add-on. People can rent tents, linens, kitchen items and so on.
Here is my requirement:
We need to print Rental Terms and Conditions ( almost a page) for all rental orders.
If there is a tent item on the order we also need to print Tent Terms( almost a page) along with general rental terms .
Current status:
If there is only tent items on the order, crystal reprots prints both pages ( tent, rental terms which is ok)
If there are tent and other items ( add-on does not print tent terms) I am using item group in the formula
{VW_RentalOrder.ItmsGrpCod}!=103
( where items does not belong to Tent)
Please help me.

So you want this to print only if there are tent items included in the order?
Maybe try a running total to count where item group = 103, then use the running total to suppress if = 0?

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.

I have created a report through report writer/Painter(GR51). My query here is to link this report to a transaction code. Could you please suggest me how can I acheive this?
Go to SE93 and select the Transaction with Parameters ( Parameter Transaction)
Then in the Transaction field give: START_REPORT
Skip initial screen
Screen 0
In the default value for the parameters give
D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE RW
D_SREPOVARI-REPORT ( Give your Report Group )
If you have any doubt pick any report painter tcode and check in SE93
Follow below steps
1) Execute report through report painter
2) From system status get the program name
3 ) go to se93 and select report transaction and assign
program name .
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

Final data from report painter

hi experts,
i dont hv knowledge on report painter but i need to grab the data from it urgently.
how do i know what is the internal table that stores the final data result...
pls advise..
thanks

Hi,
We don't use the Internal table in Report painter/writer.
We use the tables like CCSS and COFIT for FI/CO data reporting.
It have Rows and Columns that are to be designed using Characteristics and key Figures.
So it is completely different from general reporting.
Go through the sap Doc or the link below for further details.
