Report Painter variance analysis

Hello All,
Client has requested a report painter report which would display different variance categories in columns for different order or material whatever the user may wish to choose.
I want to know how should I define the columns ie. what characteristics should appear on the columns.
Also I want to know how should I define rows - I am completely blank on that.
Thirdly what should be the general data characteristics.
NIK

Hi,
Only in COPA, you can get the category wise variances. If COPA has been activated in your system, you can very well have report on variances by category wise.
Trust this helps much and do encourage our efforts!
Cheers!

HI,
The 1AB library contains reports for variance analyses. This is an important report for Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA) supplied in the SAP R/3 System. Additional information for report can be found in the documentation for the reports. Choose Extras->Documentation from the report itself.
Hope I had been able to help you out. Please assign points.

Report for variance analysis

Hi:
We execute collective var analysis using KKS1 . It does not give split of variances into Fixed and variable costs for individual process orders. Is there any report which can tell us how much of variance was fixed and variable so that we can segregate them.

Variance analysis

Hi,
Can someone suggest a good report for variance analysis in cost object controlling.
Thank you

Hi Ram
For variance analysis you can use report S_ALR_87013127 - in Object list node in cost object controlling.
This is one of the best available reports u can use since it gives variances for all order types in all plants and company codes
Once u select the parameters, go to the layout and select all variances fields listed and save your layout so that u dont have to do it everytime.
I have been providing this to clients and is used for analysis and corrections to orders etc.
Also, there are quite a few reports not only on variance analysis but on WIP but in most of these reports the selection parameter is a single order instead of all orders for a plant which limits the usage.
Let me know if you need any more clarifications
And please assign points as a way to say thanks

Due Date Analysis in Report Painter

Hi:
I have a query regarding Report painter FKI1 to FKI6 for Vendor aging analysis. Aging reports build from report enable user to analyze all vendors invoices which are overdue by N of days you specify for every column e.g all invoices overdue btw 0-30, 30-60 and so on but client is requiring an aging report for AP & AR which shows how old an invoice is, our baseline date is document date for all payment terms. e.g we have four columns in report 0-30,30-60,60-90 and >120. If an invoice was created with a document date 25.12.2014 which though not due should appear in 0-30 days. I need to know if its possible within report painter to have such or i will have to go for ABAP.
Thanks

Hello Atif,
Your requirement can be fulfilled by report painter
1- build a form with structure one axis with key figure
2- create required N days columns
3- use characteristic (Due date analysis with value =1) for analysis of line items due.
4- use characteristic (Days for net due date ) with value from/ to N days.
5- define a report with desired characteristics ( vendor, document number ....)
Regarding to you example
define column 0-30 as a sum formula of the following 2 columns
a column "0-30 due" with characteristics
(Due date analysis with value = 1) and
(Days for net due date with value from 0 to 30)
define another one "not due" with characteristics
(Due date analysis with value = 2) and
(Days for net due date with value from 0 to 99999)
for more information you can check the following standard reports delivered by SAP:
AP/ FKI0 >> report 0SAPDUEAN-01 Due Date Analysis for Open Items
AR/ FDI0 >> report 0SAPDUEAN-01 Due Date Analysis for Open Items

Thanks Sridhar,
When I analyse the report S_ALR_87013139 - Cumulative , for a product for a period (with no scrap), I get the following
Target (Deb) -   46,855.55
Act (Deb) - 58,315.87
Scrap - 0.00
Var W/O- Scrap - 11,269
WIP- 0
Control Cost - 0
Here Actual - Target is not equal to Variance. What could be the issue?
Could you please tell me how SAP would update this report with target & actual costs with respect to open production orders, carried over from previous periods.
Thanks,
Ram

Variance Analysis Report

Hi
The users wants a Variance analysis report in such a way say there a is variance from target to acutal by cost elements detail of from where that variance come from other than from general variances categories.
Say for ex: if it is a input quantity variance of 10, they want a report showing from were that variance come from, in more detail. They don't want to go to every order at month end to look and analyse every single PO to see why the variances, is it feasible in SAP?
Thank you,
Nivi

These reports run on summarized values. Please run KKRV for summarization by plant for the given periods.

FDM 9312 Variance Analysis report and columns 1 off in xls

Hi,
I have a variance analysis report in FDM and when i run in HTML and PDF, all the columns are aligned/formatted fine. But when i run it in xls, the columns are one off. Has anyone seen this before or experienced this.
Thanks,
Azmat Bhatti

This is due to formatting within Excel. You can try to adjust the report via the report designer in the workbench. It may not be possible to run the report in Excel with the formatting you are expecting.

Order analysis in report painter

Hello,
I'm working in report painter in order to analyze internal orders and particularly purchase orders flows linked to these orders.
My issue is when I analyze actual line items =>
- In those lines there are postings which are posted directly in FI and others that are posted from the incoming invoices MM.
- The business transaction used as a characteristic the identify those postings is the same. It is COIN (CO through posting from FI.
- I would like to distinguish these two types of postings.
- I noticed that there are the original business transaction or the reference transaction that would help me to make the distinction.
- For direct FI postings I would use RFBU (FI postings) original business transaction and for MM posting I would use RMRP (MM incoming invoice).
- But I did not find any way to isolate these information in report painter.
Could you advise me to know how I can solve this issue?
Thank you very much.
R.

Hi Eli,
The idea is to have in the same report a mix of KOB1 and KOB2 and to compare the data with the inital budget.
For each order or order group you have:
the intial budget | The purchase requisition commitments| The purchase order commitments| The FI posting via MM incoming invoices| The FI direct postings wich correspond to provisions purchase orders invoices that we did not received yet.
Thank you
Best Regards
R.

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

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

Error while Client copy request - Report Painter

Hi friends,
I am copying a Workbench request from customization client to test client through SCC1. This relates to Report painter report transport for FDI1. However, I am getting the following warning message while transport -
"Program ended with error or warning, return code: 4"
As per my understanding, the above message is a warning message. However, I would like to check if any of you have come across this message? Is this a normal warning message without any negetive system impact?
Request your guidance for the same.
Thanks in advance
Hrishi

Hi Suma,
Thanks a lot for the response.
Yes it is a Workbench request. And I am adding the new report to the SAP Standard report menu under Line Item Analysis.
Also, some COPA tables are getting updated in the background. Is this normal? Are the standard report painter tables related to COPA tables in any manner?
Thanks in advance.
