Report painter YCOS variables

Hello
I have transported a request and I got the message about this report YBCOS in the system target
Report YBCOS YCS: Variable &YBLEDG, &YBSEGF, &YBSEGT either does not exist or is not suitable
Message no. GR795
Diagnosis
Report YBCOS for library YCS uses the variable &YBLEDG. This variable
Does not exist, or Is not compatible with the characteristic of the report
Has a category that is not allowed in the report.
Procedure
Check and correct the report in transaction GR32.
If this error occurs when you import a transport request, check the report in the source system of the transport.
If the report does not contain errors there, you need to transport it with its dependent objects to correct this error.
If the report contains errors there, correct the error in the source system of the transport and run a new transport.
Now I want to know
1.- How do I check the variables are correct in the source system? ( tcode GR32, but I am not FI consultant)
2.- How do I transport this report with all information included?
Regards
DS

Hi,
use T-Code GS12 to compare the variables in both system. In GS12 use "utilities/transport" to export/import variables from another system. Or create a transport request for the variables instead of exporting/importing tham.
Best regards, Christian

Report Painter - creating variables - foreign currency

Hi Abap Gurus,
in Report Painter we have a customized report to print "Financial Statement" (with a specific balance structure ). I am asked to add BLART field in selection-screen. I was thinking to create variable in GS11 transaction but I don't know if it's the right solution. The "library" is linked to GLT0 table (balance account) so how can I obtain details related to BKPF-BLART "document type" ? The second question is "how to display the Financial Statement in a different currency ? "
Thanks in advance to those of you who can provide helps .
Andrew

When you create your variable first enter the variable name. Second enter the reporting "table" to use. Third enter the "field'. Press enter. Next enter a default value for your field. Save you variable. It is now ready to use in your report painter.
Using the PCA reporting tables gives you the profit center but not the cost center. You can only use one reporting table per report. you will need a cctr report for that.
First create your own libray from GLPCT. Next create your report using your new library. The report painter can do the calculations that you have shown.
You create a formula in the row or column to calculate your sub totals.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

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.

Internal variables of report painter shouldn't be selectable

Dear collegues,
I have created two new internal variables in report writer in order to use them in planning layout of TA KP67:
- previous year: marked as internal variable: calculated as: &1CGJAHE-1 (2008)
and
- future year: marked as internal variable: calcualted as: &1CGJAHE+1 (2010).
In report painter these variables are assigned to key figures and are not shown on the selection screen again as they are calculated internally.
But in planning layout of TA KP67 cost activity planning these variables are also assigned to key figures like actual costs or fixed planned costs and are indicated as acceptable for input on the selection screen but shouldn't - so how it is possible to define internal variables in co planning layouts as really internal which do not come up if the planning layout is executed via TA KP06?
Thanks and regards,
Christian

Hello Christian,
when I understand your request correctly, you want to plan for several years like 2008, 2009 and 2010 but you just want to enter one year. Right?
For the column with the current fiscal year you can use a standard variable like GJAHR. For the other columns you define the year in the column as variable with value "GJAHR-1" (last year) and with value "GJAHR+1" (following year). On the selection screen of the planning transaction you will only have one field for the current year and the fiscal year for the other columns is calculated accordingly when you run the planning.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Daniela

Report painter- problem in creating formula variable- ps

Hi Experts,
i have copied report 6P3 - 6PP1-001 Act/Com/Total/Plan from library in report painter.
our requirement is we want two user fields from cj20n in this report. they are prps-usr04
and prps-usr05.
i have added these in header as special text variable as they were ALREADY available at header under
MASTER DATA FOR PROJECTS / WBS ELEMENT IN REPORT-WRITER.
now my requirement is to add new columns. for that i required these two fields in formula.
but as they are not present in formula component i am not able to get it.
what should i do to enter these fields in component list in formula?
PLEASE GUIDE ME?
AMOL

ActRunningBal is a running total calculated in crystal or database field? If it is a database field then you can try this
if {command.CR-Amount} <>0 then
{command.CR-Amount}
else
previuous()+previous({command.Dr-Amount})
If it is a running total you cannot apply previous function on it.

How to use Value Variable in Report Painter Column defined as Formula

Hi Gurus,
In report painter, how can I add one field (exchange rate) in selection screen, so that user can provide the exchange rate to be used, then execute the report, the exchange rate will used to multiple local currency amount.
The reason for this is we want use provided exchange rate to convert the amount from once currency to the other currency.
Alternatively I am studying the functionality of "Value Variable" and found that I can perform the task from this. I have created the value variable but when I am using the variable in Report Painter columns as "&ZVALVAR", system is giving me error. I read the help and it states that use the variable with "&" and do it as it is mentioned.
Can anybody suggest what I need to do to make it workable.
Thanks

I did try using the presentation variable, but that does not work too. I am setting session variable in the dashboard prompt (select 'request variable'). When I use presentation variable, it hard codes the value of the variable name.
sql is
select date from work_order where facility = @{p_facility}
the physical log sql is
select date from work_order where facility = 'p_facility'

Report Painter - ERP Financials - Question on Value Variable useage

I want to use a value variable that works in Report Writer (table GLPCT, field MSL [quantity] but cannot select MSL as a variable field in Report Painter to insert the same variable (it is not a selectable characteristic) using the same Library and Table.
Is there a way to make the field selectable in Report Painter in order to select a value variable that uses the field MSL ? It is a valid field in the Library that I am building the report in.
In building the columns, I can select characteristic fields such as:
Ledger
Record Type
Version
Fiscal Year
Profit Center
Functional Area
Account number
Period
etc
but not MSL Quantity. Is there configuration to make this (or any field) accessible to Report Painter ?
Any advice is welcome.....
Thanks......

Quantity is a key figure. When you create the column values you would get this from the key figure drop list.

Formula Variables for Report Painter

Dear Experts,
I have a Report Painter Report which displays month wise report in columns and now i want the report to be displayed based on the period mentioned in selection screen.
Can someone please advice how do I do the same with use of Formula Variables.
Regards,
Rahul

Go to the selection screen and press F1 and go to technical details to name the name of the screen field. example: 8A-VON (period from) and 8A-BIS (period to).
In your report designer, you enter the those variable for the "period" characteristic and tick the variable ON/OFF checkbox.

Hi,
Easier option is to create a profit center group excluding the dummy profit center and assign it in the report painter instead of the variable.
Other option is at the time of executing the report, exclude the dummy profit center with out making any changes in the report.

Report Painter Variables

Does anyone know how to re-arrange the variables in a Report Painter Report?
My selection screen shows-
Enter Year 2:
Enter Year 1:
I want it to say -
Enter Year 1:
Enter Year 2:
Thanks in advance for your reply!

If this is a COPA Report painter report, then go to transaction KE32, double click on the relevant report, click on the variables tab (on the right) and click on the button 'Sort Variables'. There are sequence numbers that you can change to position the variables appropriately.

Report Painter - Use of Constants / Local Formula Variable

Hi,
I am using constant and/or local formula variable in report painter in FSI.
I could use both the values for calculating percentages, ie. it can be used for multiplication or division. However, when I try to use it for addition or subtraction, I am getting the error message no. KH206.
In all cases, I am using different values in the formula, i.e. a absolute figure and a GL based figure.
I am not able to understand, why it even allows me for calculating percentage.
Can anyone help me in using a absolute figure for input and thereafter use it in addition / subtraction.
I would prefer an immediate solution to this as I am in the final stages of this report.
Full points guaranteed.....

Hi Kash,
Thanks for your reply..
Can you elaborate bit further. You mean to say I should create a Constant with some value.
Thereafter how should I bring that in the form. But, How do I enter the Constant in the Formula... There is no key for entering any text in the formula.. there are only ID (the values which we bring in the form and which can be selected for the formula) and numbers which can be entered.
So how do I enter the name of the Constant?
I tried just keying in the name of the Constant, and I could check the formula also, However, while saving the form, I am getting an error,
Element WCaplimit Bis letztem ATag bis &$BISD is not defined correctly -> check definition
Message no. KH206
Diagnosis
In element WCaplimit Bis letztem ATag bis &$BISD the system adds quantities and values or different currencies.
Can you please revert back with step by step solution?
Appreciate your prompt reply.... Thanks
