Report Painter Report - Leading White Spaces in Cost Element

When calling up a report painter report, e.g. S_ALR_87013613, with cost element characteristic in Office integration/Microsoft Excel as output parameters, the cost element (row item) is indented with white spaces. The number of white spaces seems to be in relation with summation levels (sub-totals) visible in the left panel. For some cost centres that only have limited transactions, such as no posting to salary account group, there are less levels of summation, meaning less leading white space in cost elements. Is there any way to eliminate or have a fixed number of leading white spaces in cost elements?
We export the report to Excel worksheet for further processing. VLOOKUP function is used to read the cost element into another workbook. The inconsistent number of leading white spaces creates a problem for the formulas to work properly.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Regards,

Hello,
There are different ways of downloading the report to excel. One option is
System ==> List ==> save (to local file)
Please try with other options.
If still not working, then the work around would be
You can put ctrl+H (replace all spaces)
Then text to columns
Hope this works.

Ravi

Hi
Just check the G/L account assigned in the PO against the cost center, The G/L account assigned may not be the correct one, Check out if any validation is there for the combination, contact your FI-CO guy as there are always restrictions unknown to a MM guy.

Process/stpes to modify the report painter reports...

Hi,
I want to modify the report painter report. Could anybody tell me how can we do this. Where can we do this and it would be helpful if any body advise with the steps.
The requirement is to add one line in the current report painter report and remove one line from it.
Regards....

Hi,
Modifying a report painter report is very similar to creating the report itself. Below mentioned are the steps in general, please use them as per your requirement.
From the relevant application, choose Tools->Report Painter->Report->Create.
The Report Painter: Create Report screen appears.
You can also create Report Painter reports from any Report Writer screen. To do so, choose Report Writer->Report Painter-> Create report.
Enter the name of the library the report is to use, and a name and description for the report. The report name can be a maximum of eight characters long. If you want to create your report using an existing Report Painter report as a basis, enter the name of the report that you want to copy under Copy from. Both reports must use the same library.
Choose Create.The next screen displays an empty report containing four rows and four columns (this is the basic structure for a report). You define your report on this screen.
Enter or change the description for the report by double-clicking the report description field.
A dialog box appears in which you can enter a short, medium, and long text for the report description.
Define the rows of your report.Rows contain a combination of characteristic values or formulas. Note the lead column at the first position of the rows. The Report Painter uses the lead column to access the rows. You can replace the description Lead column with a different term.
Define the columns of your report. Columns contain a combination of a basic key figure and optional restricting characteristic values. You can also use predefined key figures to present key figures and characteristics that make business sense. For example, a number of predefined key figures are delivered for the libraries in Overhead Cost Controlling that can be copied directly into the reports, where they can be modified as required.
Define general data selection criteria. The general data selection criteria restrict data selection for the report.
Choose Save and then Execute to create the report. Assign the report to a report group.
You have to display the report before you execute it, so that you can later change the report layout directly from the report list. Once you have defined a report, you can display and print out a table of contents with Extras->Overview.
The overview contains the characteristics and characteristic values used in the individual sections, column blocks, and general data selection criteria. It also provides general information such as the user who last changed the report, the report name, and the standard layout assigned to the report, as well as details on the report formats.
If you double-click an individual characteristic, you can see where this characteristic is used in the report definition.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if you need an specific information.

Display Profit Center & GL Account in 2 Seperate Columns in Report Painter Report

Hello All,
I am building a Report Painter Report for Inventory Balances. As psrt of my requirement I have to display GL Account & Profit Center ina different Column & their Balances for each month on this Current Fiscal Period. As/of now I am only able to have both GL Account & Profit Center in the Same Lead Column? And it is perfect if I look on the Report but when I download all the GL Account & Profit Center are not seperated with Color, so it becomes confusing. I need to have execlty the Report as Same Format S_PL0_86000030.
How can this be achievable? Thanks for your valuable input?

the account is probably in account group or set. Look for that one in report painter and then go to the set or account group and remove/add the account.

Value Type and Report Type in Report Painter Report

Is there a way I can get both characteristics WRTPP and RRCTY in one table? Or, can I work with two different tables in creating Report Painter report? I need to get the planned values of cost elements with record type 1 and value type 10 to show under one column in my report.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Edited by: Mauricio Villa on Oct 23, 2010 10:32 PM

use the selection criteria to restrict the field types in the query designer- use other variables to check the value
if it doesnt reconcile- you can alternatively use a multi provider for the same thing- that way you will get the same amount in 1 column and you could restrict using the infoprovider column

Supress the -ve sign in report painter report - VERY URGENT

Hi
In a report painter report, can anybody please let me know how to display a negative value, for example, "-1234.56" as "(1234.56)".
IT IS VERY URGENT

Check If value is less than 0,
then replace '-' with space ( to remove the '-' from the right end) and then Concatenate '-' and value into a variable.

Trying to add new columns to Report painter Report

Hi Experts,
I created a report painter report by copying an already existing report. In addition I wanted to add extra columns to this report but after adding a few and coming to the last page of the existing report when i try to add a new column the system gives me an error message
Insufficient space on current page -> moving not possible
    Message no. KH581
As this is the last page, I am not able to add extra columns to this report. How can I go to the next page and add columns to this existing report. Your responses are highly appreciated.
Regards
ASLV

Hello,
This is a constraint in the system.
The solution maybe is to define narrower columns
because there is a hard restriction in ABAP to have at least 255 digits
on one page.
The message KH581 is processed because there is not enough space left
on the first horizontal page. So if you first add a new horizontal page
you can add the new column on the second page. Also if you decrease the
column width of the columns to get more space left on the first page you
can add the new columns.
I hope it helps.
REgards,

Report Painter Report has the wrong Profit Center

Hi Gurus,
I changed the profit center in a cost center using KS02. When I execute a report group for report painter using GR55, I still see costs showing up under the old profit center. What do I need to do the fix the problem. Is it coming from the report group?

Changes in some fields in cost centres are time dependent. This means that any changes in cost centre will effect only after a certain period of time. for Profit centre it will be updated only after the period. That is if it is period 1 now then it will take effect only in period 2. Check T code OKEG.

Adding authorization objects to Report Painter reports

Hello Everyone,
Is there way to add authorization objects to report painter reports ? I know it is possible to add auth group at the header level but I need to limit access at run time to specific objects, say for example, Cost Center. Is this possible ?
I have seen the Get_Reporter.pdf document and it seems to discusses adding auth group but not auth objects.
Thanks in advance.
Dorothy

Urgent issue: Report painter report.

Hi,
I need to change the varsion 0 to 3 to forecatsing column of the report painter report. Which I have done and migrated to test, but when I test it, it shows that actual column is also picking the values from version 3 though it shows version 0 in the column. I surprised to see this.
Could you please provide me any valuable suggestion to fix this at the earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi when you create a report:
use for actual costs:
Value type 4 and plan version 0
for plan:
Value type 1 and in you case plan version 3 (better to create a varibale, then you can select the version)
