Report painter Sets
Hi friends,
I have a query regarding report painter using single dimension sets.What i need is to create financial report for Mexico and Spain. The financial statement verision or the reporting structure of GL accounts is different in both these FSV's.
So if the user selects a particular financial statement version, say MEX for Mexico in the report painter general data selection the report should display as per MEX structure.
I think its possible to declare single dimension sets FSV1 with basic set as assets,liabilites..and so on as per financial statement version of Mexico.
Similarly another FSV2 as per financial statement version structure of Spain.
But how the system will select the required set based on the FSV selected by the user? Is it possible to give two sets in single report painter row line item?
Hope i am clear, please correct me if i am wrong.
thanks

If you create the entirety of the account reporting hierarchy within the single dimension sets, you could be sure that the set is also defined in the reporting row as a hiearchy and variable with one of the sets as a default.
When the user goes to execute the report, or via reporting variants, they can simply replace the default MEX single dimension set with Spain's single dimension set and it will utilize that to drive the hierarchy of the same row.
If for formatting purposes, however, you need to break that out into multiple report rows, then this becomes slightly more challenging. As long as you can at least keep the highest groupings of major accounts, though you can do it even if it means having multiple single dimension sets to default and have for replacement when executing the report (or via the program variant).
This all assumes the use of Report Painter (GR55) for execution and not the FI Financial Statement Version.
I hope I've understood and helped. (Please assign points if so).

Projects group/set for report painter
Dear,
I want to create a report painter report to compare cost of projects.
I would like to be able to create groups for my projects, like you can do for internal order with KOH1, and use these for my report.
how can I create these project groups and how do i use them in report painter?
Kind regards,
Sander.Hi
In a report painter report - Once you have created a SET means you know for what values you want to execute the report...
In your form definition, you will see two check boxes beside your characteristic - i.e. One for Defining a variable for the char and the Other for using a SET..
If you want to use a variable - this means you would specify the values of the projects at the time of execution... For this, click on the relevant check box and you can specify any name in the field "Local Variable"
If you want to use a SET, this means you know for what projects you would like to see the report.. For this, check on the relevant check box and specify your SET there...
If you want to use both the above options, then you must create your set from GS11 and choose the radio button SET VARIABLE
Refer the set 1KOSET from GS13 as a sample...
And see report 1SIP-001 under library 1VK in GRR3.. This report uses 1KOSET under General Data Selection.... You will get an idea for what you want

No totalization in a report of report painter for row containing a set
Hi!
I've created a set XXXX based on the table-field GLPCT-RACCT. One of the row of the set is a formula. The formula is the sum of the rows of the set / 2 i.e row 005 of the set XXXX is (001002003+004)/2. The set has been added as characteristic value element, as row of a report of report painter. I've take a look to the output of the report but the total of the row based on the set does not take into consideration the formula inside. why?
i.e
Report period 1
row 1 100
row 2 10000
row Z based on set XXXX:
001 20
002 20
003 20
004 40
005 (formula) 50
total of row Z based on set 100 (instead of 150)
Could you help me in solving the problem?
Thanks
GiovannaThere may not be any currency attached to the value derived by the formula. That could be the reason why it is not getting summed up. The total would be expecting all the items to be summed up are of same currency,
I am not sure of how to make the total to add up the formula.
Alternatively you may check to see if all your row requirements can be fitted in within the set , i.e. including subtotals and totals. -
I have a question. I defined in a set several accounts and in the data base or table may be posible not to have all the accounts I defined within the set.
If I dont have any account in the table defined within the set.....
How do I do to show these several accounts with no information in Report Painter??
THANKS.There is one indicator - 'form printout' under report layout -> rows which allows you to print all rows irrespective of whether record exists in database or not.
See below help of this indicator:
Form printout
With form printout, you can print a list exactly as it is defined by the row sets.
This means that each set entry creates a corresponding entry in the report output, irrespective of whether a suitable database record is found. The system no longer breaks down intervals in row sets. They are treated as if they have a suppress indicator.
Without form printout, the system would only print rows for which a relevant database record is found. In addition, intervals without a suppress indicator would be broken down into the respective single values.
If the form printout indicator is set, the Report Writer internally creates data records with zero values and processes these as normal database records. This means that runtime will increase accordingly. This extra time needed is displayed in the report statistics.
Example
The row set contains the accounts 1000, 1001, 1002 and the account interval 1010 to 1030. During selection, database records were found for the accounts 1000, 1002, 1010 and 1015.
The following reports are output:
With form printout:
Amount
Account 1000
100.00
Account 1001
0.00
Account 1002
200.00
|Accnts 1010-1030 | 700.00 | <- Caution: Interval is not
| Total | 1000.00 | broken down
Without form printout:
Amount
Account 1000
100.00
<- Note: Account 1001 is missing
Account 1002
200.00
Account 1010
300.00
<- Caution: Interval is
Account 1015
400.00
<- broken down
Total
1000.00 -
Question about sets in report painter.
Hi, everybody. Please, could someone help me in this matter?.
I wanna delete a set with the GS04 transaction in Report Painter but I cannot.
When I put the set's id (XXX) in the set's name and push Delete-Set-F8 button, I get the following error:
The XXX set cannot be deleted.I consult the error with the help and SAP tells me that I need to use the set-usage option to view where the set is used in the system.
I select this set-usage option under the utilities menu and SAP tells me that the set is being used in a report.
The thing is that the report doesnt exist. I deleted the report before. Why the error is then.
However, I created, generated and compiled the report again in report painter with other different set so that I confirmed that the report was not using the XXX set and the error continues with report or without it.
That I tried to say was that the XXX set is not being used anywhere and the question then is why report painter is telling me that the set is being used in a report. Thing that is not true.

Mass Change of Sets for Report Painter/Writer Reports
Hi,
We have upgraded our system from 4.6c to ECC 6.0. We are using more
than 40 Report Painter/Writer reports which in turn are using Sets.
However, these sets are containing reference to a Table which we want
to change for all the set enmasse. e.g. If currently the sets are using
Table Reference "ABC", we want to change it to "XYZ" because the
table "ABC" is not at all existing in our new system ECC 6.0.
Even we are unable to change the sets through T.Code GS02 as the table
itself is not existing. And as the table is not existing, the Reports
are giving hard errors saying that the sets do not exist.
Kindly request you to guide us in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
Shalin ShahLooks like you have to create new sets and assign them in the report replacing the old ones.

Thread lockedHello 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.

Parallel currency in Report painter
Hi
I need help around the Report Painter report. One of our company code is located in Hong Kong and there are three currencies set-up for this entity. Local currency is CNY, Group currency is in USD, and Third currency is in HKD. Our report painter report is configured to get the data from FAGLFLEXT. The report painter report always gets displayed in USD amounts. The FAGLL03 report at the back can display amounts in all three currencies. I am not sure how can I set-up the report painter report to display amounts in HKD.
It would be a big help if someone can advice me on this issue.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Shalu
Moderator: Please, search SDN; it has been asked several timesHi Shalu
The Library 0FL has 4 currencies... i.e.
HSL - Local Currency
TSL - Transaction Curre
KSL - Second Currency
OSL - Third Currency
Go to GRR2 (Report form of your report), and double click on any column... You choose Key Figures in the Columns in a areport painter report... there you would have chosen any one of these currencies...
Right click on the column and Copy it and paste it... Now change the Key Figure of the copied column to the one you desire...
This should give you values in both currency...
To identify which form you have used in GRR2 - Execute your report and go to Extras Menu > Technical Information.. In the pop up window that opens, double click on field "Report".

Getting Error in Report painter
Dear All ,
i am getting an error after i execute a report in report painter,
Getting the following errors,
Characteristic Ledger does not exist
Characteristic Record Type does not exist
Characteristic Ledger does not exist
Message no. GR655
Diagnosis
The characteristic must (message type E) or should (message type W) be addressed in the report definition. This means that a set must/should exist for the characteristic in the definition of the report rows, report columns, or report selection.
For performance reasons, it is important that you limit the value ranges of those key fields located at the start of the database key as much as possible.
Procedure
Define a set for this characteristic in the report.
Note
In Controlling (Table CCSS), different characteristics (cost center, order, project, etc.) are portrayed internally with a common technical characteristic, "Object". In reports, either a specific characteristic such as cost center must be used, or the characteristic "Object" must be used directly. If this is not the case, an error message appears saying that the "Object" characteristic is missing.
regards
ManHi,
define a ledger / record type, (eg in the general data selection).
