Report Painter Selection Criteria

Hi All,
I have some issue on the use of the report painter. I have a field which is profit center and when i use the f4 function it displays all values. What I want is to limit the displayed values based on user roles. Is it possible? How can I do this?
I hope you could provide me with answers. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Atel

Hi mariestel,
1. Instead of going for this kind of approach,
   (ie, filtering values based on role, on
    the display list itself),
we can go for the approach which sap follows.
2. Dispaly all list (without any filteration or roles & rights)
Then while processing/taking any action,
   use AUTHORITY-CHECK
to check, if the user has right
for that VALUE or not !
3. Eg. a company has rights for just one company,
   ie. 1000
   SAP program will display ALL companies,
   but at the time of processsing/action,
   it will use AUTHORITY-CHECK
   to check if the user has right for 1000 or not,
and accordingly give message or proceed further.

Portal Activity Report with Selection criteria

Hi All,
I have created an iview using 'Portal Activity Report' template, added the iview to page and page is added to the role which is created for this report. Also, users were assigned to the new role. When users go to portal and see this report, they are seeing the final output of this report along with the 'Download Report' option.
My requirement is to give selection screen option (Type of report and Reporting period) to users. So that users will change the selection criteria and run the report as per their need. Please advice me on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Swapna.

swapna,
you can do this by creating a webdynpro application for accessing the database tables, the list of data base tables is in this [help |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/48/6aa9429b930b31e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]document and use web dynpro application to connect to that tables. Check this thread for[ dynpro and database tables |dynpro and database tables;

Report Painter -Selection Screen Order

I am doing a Report Painter for the first time in years.
I am hoping someone can remind me how ( if possible) to change the order of the the selection screen.
For example, if I have 2 Fiscal Year varables and 2 Period Variables, is there a way to change the order so the screen shows
FY1
Period 1
FY2
Period 2
Thank you,
Jeffrey

Thanks,
Your answer works when there is only one field, 2 variables.
I have 2 fields, 2 variables each.
So, for example with Fiscal Year and Period, I have
zfy1
zperiod1
zfy2
zperio2
When I do the report, the Fiscal Year variables group together and then the period variables.
i.e.
zfy1
zfy2
zper1
zper2
I can't separate them and reorder them as above.
zfy1
zper1
zfy2
zper2
Thank you

Report painter selection

Hi,
I am new to using report painter. I was required to modify an existing report for sales figues (using infostructure S514). In transaction GRR2 I navigated to the appropriate report in 3PK and in 'General Data Selection' added sold-to-party from the available characteristics. From looking at the existing fields I checked the checkboxes for 'SET or Hierarchy Node' and 'variable On'. Using F4 help dialog I set the contents of the 'From' field to the appropriate value (variable 3PK38, sold-to-party, type set, table S514, field KUNAG). I then saved and executed the report. The report works fine except that in the selection screen, instead of adding one select option it added two: 'Sold-to-party' and 'Or value(s)'. Checking F4 for sold-to party brings up 3 different set IDs with description customer. Even if I leave this field blank the report works correctly. Pressing F4 for the 'Or value(s)' field brings up a list of customers, as required. Why is this happening only for this field (sold-to-party) when the configuration for this is the same as for all the other fields? Is there some way I can remove the 'Sold-to-party' field with the set IDs and just leave the 'Or value(s)' field in the selection screen? If this is possible, can the text for the 'Or value(s)' field be renamed to something more appropriate (like customers)? I checked in the text options in GRR2 but it doesn't show me the 'Or value(s)' field, just the 'Sold-to-party' field, which is not what I want. Help is appreciated.
Regards

Suggestions? Anyone?

Report Painter selection variables sorting

I have added a number of characteristics to my report painter report and set some as variables
i.e. plan version 1, plan version 2, plan version 3, plan version 1 year, plan version 2 year, plan version 3 year.
These variables appear on the selection screen in the following order;
plan version 1,
plan version 2,
plan version 3,
plan version 1 year,
plan version 2 year,
plan version 3 year.
What the business require is the variables to appear on the selection screen as follows;
plan version 1,
plan version 1 year,
plan version 2,
plan version 2 year,
plan version 3,
plan version 3 year
Has anyone any idea how the selection screen sorts the variables?
Can the selection screen sort order be changed for a report?
Your assistance is appreciated
John

For Selection Screen, you can try to use Selection Variant.
The steps are like this:
a. Go to GRR2 (change report painter)
b. Then choose the report you are developing
c. Execute the report
d. On the selection screen, choose Go To-> Variant -> Save As Variant
e. At Variant Attributes screen, you can do the following as your requirement:
    ·        Description
Enter a short, meaningful description of the variant. This can be up to 30 characters long.
·        Only for background processing
Select this field if you want the variant to be available for background processing but not in dialog mode.
·        Protect variant
Select this field if you want to prevent your variant being changed by other users.
·        Only display in catalog
Select this field if you only want the variant name to be displayed in the variant catalog (and not when the user calls the F4 value help).
·        System variant
This field cannot accept input. It is set automatically when a system variant (beginning with CUS& or SAP&) is created.
You can also assign the following further attributes to the selections in a variant:
·        Type
The system indicates here whether a field is a parameter (P) or a selection option (S).
·        Protected
Select this column for each selection that you want to write-protect on the selection screen. These fields are visible on the selection screen when the user starts a program with the variant, but do not accept user input.
·        Invisible
If you select this column, the system hides the corresponding field on the selection screen. This allows you to change the appearance of the selection screen.
·        Selection variable
If you select this column, you can set the value of the corresponding selection dynamically at runtime. The different ways of doing this are explained in the section Variable Values in Variants.
·        Without values
If you select this field, the contents of the corresponding field are not saved with the variant.
This is useful if you do not want to overwrite the contents of this field on the selection screen.
For example, suppose you create a report 'SAPTEST', with the parameter 'TEST', for which you create the variant 'TESTVARIANT'. In the variant, you set the 'Without values' flag for the parameter. Then, you run time program and enter the value 'ABCD' in the TEST field. If you now retrieve the 'TESTVARIANT' variant, the TEST field retains the value ABC instead of being overwritten by SPACE.
·        SPA/GPA
This attribute only appears if you created the corresponding selection criterion using 'MEMORY ID xxxu2019. You can switch the SPA/GPA handling on and off in the variant. This means that fields filled using SPA/GPA appear with their initial values after you have loaded a variant in which those fields have an initial value.
f. When you are finished, you can save it and name the variant (e.g.: Z_S_Screen for simpler selection screen)
After that, every time you want to have the selection screen, you can choose Get Variant or Go To-> Variant-> and select the variant you have saved.

Getting report info (report name, selection criteria) from ACTIVE session

hello - trying to get some insight how this can be done for a query that is ALREADY running.
when i spot a long-running query/report in SM50/66, it's easy enough to see what it's doing in ST04 at the DB level (Oracle is our dbms).
then i can look in RSDDSTAT for the userid and timestamp and usually find the report technical name. but if i want to know exactly what selection criteria were used when the user fired off the query (web query usually), then how can i find this info? (other than asking the end user)?
thanks

There is a good document on SDN on performance tuning. Check out the following. In this it is mentioned how to get the statuid from RSDDSTAT.

Modifing Exiting report and selection criteria

hi,
I am Facing some problems. i am using SBO 2004 2B.
1) Is is possible to modify exiting reports?
Can i add a column (user defined or system defined) other than columns which are available in "Form Setting"?
If so how can I?
2) Is it possible to add more criteria on reports selection criteria window?

Mayur,
If you are asking if you can use the Business One SDK to modify existing Business One reports in SAP Business One 2004 ... the answer is that you cannot. There were no reporting objects exposed in 2004A, B or C.
There is some functionality with the Business One 2005A SDK for reporting. You may want to download and look at the documentation on this.
HTH,

Reports - adding selection criteria as part of output

Hello,
We are on ECC 5.0.
My business users would like to have the following on all R/3 reports, extracts and printouts:
The company code, the period selected, the filters or parameters selected, the title of the document/report/extract, the currency and type of currency of the document.
Has anyone ever had such requirements? Any idea on if this is possible? Any workarounds would also be welcome.
Thanks SAP gurus!
Linda

hi,
for your own reports (beginning with z and y)and queries this should be no problem. Create a program, which makes your demanded heading, and include it to your reports.
