Differences Between Report Painter and Report Writer

Hi,
Anyone knows the differences between report painter and report writer?
Thanks,
CW

Hello CW Teo,
Yes report writer can be used in logistics also. One of the way which I am aware of is described below.
Flexible analyses allow you to can tailor the way in which key figures are combined and aggregated. This means that it is possible to both provide administrators with detailed information and management with aggregated information.
Flexible analyses enable easy access to the Report Writer, a user-friendly tool with which you can create reports for various analyses. The Report Writer is integrated in other SAP applications, such as Extended General Ledger and Cost Center Accounting.
Evaluation structures form the interface to the Report Writer. Evaluation structures consist of characteristics and key figures and are easy to construct.An evaluation structure with the same name exists for each information structure in the standard system.Even the self-defined information structures created in Customizing can be evaluated via the flexible analyses.
Evaluations:You can create an evaluation on the basis of the evaluation structure.
To define an evaluation, all you need to do is select the characteristics and key figures you require (pick-up technique).One of the especially useful features here is that you have the option of tailoring the layout of your report to suit your particular requirements. You can also define extra key figures for the reports, which are derived from existing key figures by means of calculation formulas. You can thereby multiply the key figures or divide one key figure by another.
============================================================
In addition to the above you can also edit a report in logistics module with the help of a report writer. below mentioned is the process for it.
It is now possible to edit your report data using the Report Writer. You can also change the layout of the report. The most important functions of the layout design are summarized below.
Summation levels:In the report screen, you can use the menu sequence View ->Summation level to specify the number of summation used to calculate total values. All totals that do not lie within the specified interval will be hidden. A summation level corresponds to a hierarchical level (for example, material level). Summation level 1 is the lowest hierarchical level. Summation level 2 is the next level up, and so on. The individual values are on the summation level 0.
The summation levels can be specified both universally (for the entire report) or locally (for specific blocks of rows). In this case, the local settings overwrite global values.
Report views:If a report is displayed on the screen, the Report Writer will then set page breaks so that exactly one page fits into the current window. This view will be defined as the standard view. As the Report Writer always processes exactly one page, you can only use the page keys and page icons to page up and down; the scroll bars cannot be used.
The page view can be determined via Settings-> Page view. The page breaks in the page view correspond to those defined in the report layout.
Hide and show rows:The function Edit->Hide rows exclude certain preselected areas of your report from the display. You can undo this command with Edit ® Show rows.
Expanding and collapsing report rows:View-> Hierarchy->Collapse allows you to hide the report rows of the sub-trees that are located underneath. View->Hierarchy ->Expand allows you to undo this command level by level.
If you want to display all the report rows that were hidden by collapsing the hierarchy or restricting the summation levels, select, View->Hierarchy-> Expand all.
View->Collapse all allows you to reduced every row block to the highest summation level.
Texts and Annotations:You can create an annotation for your report.
Select: Extras->Annotation.
You branch into the text editor of the Report Writer.
Via the menu sequence Settings->Texts, you can create and format a title page, the last page, as well as headers and footers using word processing functions.
For example, you can store variables in the header for the author of the report, the date of the selection or the name of the person who last changed the report.
Layout parameters:Using the menu sequence Settings->Layout you can specify the page format, display form, rows and columns of the report according to your needs and you can determine the settings for the graphics function. You can make these layout settings with Report->Save settings.
Hope I had been able to help you to some extent. please assign points as reward.

Report Painter and Report Query

Hi,
Can some body explain me the difference between Report painter and report queries. How these are diffrent from ABAP prgram and ABAP queries. Who are the persons who are using all these like functional consultant or ABAPer or End users.
Regards
RKG.

Hi
Report Painter is mainly used by CO functional consultants for generating reports using variables, Key fugures and sets. This is a SAP standard functionality.
ABAB Queries / Report queries are created by Abapers and Functional consultants , this is mainly to join two or more tables run a query on the available data in the table and get the reports
ABAP program are complete program which are the coding language of SAP, where a program can be created for a new functionality which is not available in SAP . However the data required for this program has to available in SAP.

Assignment of Tcode for Report painter's report

Hi,
I have created one report on Controlling module through report painter. I created Sets - Variable - created report on Library - assigned variable to that report and included that report into Report Group as ZCC8 before final execute. Now I want to add that report into form of Tcode like "Y_TU4_04000027". Normally ABAP Consultants developed report and before delivery of that report to client they attach that report into as tecode form like name as Z or Y through tcode SE93 where tcodes are created. Same way please let me know how report painter's tcode are created like Y or Z. I do not like to give report group name as ZCC8 to our client for executing the report. It should deliver as tcode form.
Please let me know.
Regards,
Samrat
Moderator: Please, search SDN before posting. This question has been answered several times

HI Samrat
1. Create the transaction code,say, ZF01_TCODE from Se93
2. Choose "Transaction with parameters".. Press enter
3. Enter START_REPORT in the Transaction field and press Enter
4. Select the Skip initial screen and Inherit GUI attributes check boxes
5. On the same screen, scroll down to the Default Values table and select parameters D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE and
D_SREPOVARI-REPORT.
6. Enter RW for the report type and your report group ZCC8 as the report value
7. Now you can save your transaction and transport it to other systems

I went into section overview and joined my 3 sections into 1 table. When I go to view it in gr55 > z9ab I have to scroll all the way down and my report starts on page 2.

Report Painter - Display Report

Dear Friends,
While displaying/changing Z reports from GRR3 transaction, we are getting short dump.
The dump does not occur for standard transactions.
The error occuring is:
The current application program detected a situation which really should not occur. Therefore, a termination with a short dump was triggered on purpose by the key word MESSAGE (type X).
Short text of error message:
RAISE MKES1F12_READ_FPAGE_FCOLUMN       (internal error)
Please let us know if anything further need to be done with the Z reports after creating them in GRR1.
Advance Thanks
Swapnil

Hi Swapnil,
Check this note
Note 330457 - Drilldown report not executable
Its related to the dump 'MKES1F12_READ_FPAGE_FCOLUMN' . Try applying the corrections in the Note.

Report Painter CCSS Report

Hello Everyone!
Is it possible to create a report showing the balances by period for Cost Element and Cost Center. I would like to be able to show 12 periods at the same time. Something along the lines of the diagram below.
CE CC         Period 1    Period 2 ... Period 12
CE1 CC1         50.00       45.00           100.00
    CC1         100.00      110.00          200.00
CE2 CC1         150.00      100.00          250.00
    CC2         130.00      100.00          400.00
    CC3         100.00      100.00          150.00
Thanks!

U can use standard transaction KSB1 for this.
Otherwise you can develop ur own report after selecting data from COBK and COEP. ( or use the view COVP directly). The object number of COEP refers to the Cost centers ( itsobject number format is like KLControlling areaCost center).
Hope it helps.

What is the significance of report writer and report painter

hi all,
can anyone throw light on report write and report painter, when and why it used with examples.
thanxs in advance

Dear Hari,
http://www.virtuosollc.com/PDF/Get_Reporter.pdf
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/66/bc7d2543c211d182b30000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
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.
Report Painter fulfills a function similar to Report Writer, but is easier to use. Most of the functions found in Report Writer have been built into Report Painter; however, you do not need to be familiar with all Report Writer concepts (such as Sets) in order to use Report Painter.
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.

Hi,
Report Writer enables you to report on data from multiple applications. Using functions such as sets, variables, formulas, cells and key figures, you can create complex reports that meet specific reporting requirements.
The Report Painter is similar to the Report Writer, but is simpler to use.The main components of report painter are characterestics and basic key figure.
The majority of reports end users use in the R/3 System is Report Painter reports. Most of these reports (@ 80+ %) began as Report Writer reports.
The major difference is Report Painter uses a graphical interface (analogous to Notepad and MS Word).
Very few R/3 users employ Report Writer however, many still use, modify and develop reports using Report Painter. Report Painter permits complex groupings and drill-down reporting very useful for such applications as FI-CO and SD. It can also be used interactively allowing users to enter variables for specific steps; thereby permitting drill-across' functionality.
However, Report Painter does have its limitations; it can display only numeric data (excluding column headers) therefore, short text, etc. is not available. It is much easier (quicker) to modify than ABAP and requires no ABAP expertise however, many combine Report Painter with ABAP reports to fill-in many of the missing pieces. Layout design is archaic and rudimentary ~ therefore; many use Report Painter to retrieve and massage the data' and eventually export it into Excel for end use.
