Report Writer Issues

A user transported Report Writer objects into a production system which is affecting other businesses data when they run report writer. The first issue I am seeing is that incorrect variants  are defaulting fir at least one Report Group, and maybe more. I suppose it is impossible to back out the transports that are causing the problem?
How does the variant default to a specific report Group?
Any other Report Writer transactions, info, or other materials will be appreciated.
               Thank-You

In the lead column, this is where you define your row definitions. For example if you are using GL accounts these would be defined here. Next, create another row definition by double clicking. It will bring up an option. Pick formula. Then you can do math calculations.
In the currency column you should only define one currency. This is your key figure. Also select the characteristics that you want it to be based on 'ie fiscal year'.  If in FI try TSL.

  • Report Writer Issue - Revenue Cost Element - After Upgrade.

    Hello ,
       After upgrade some of the report writers are not pulling up all the plan data.
       I found out that the revenue cost elements (cost element category - 11) are not being pulled by
       report writer in ECC 6.00, where it used to pull them in 4.6C. These postings were done to
       our budget version using KP06.
       These revenue cost elements postings are not stored in COSP. I dont have any idea in which tables
       they are stored.
       Does anyone have any clue about this.
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    Its a report writer report developed here..(not standard one)
    The cost center is a revenue cost center. So when we post our revenues we post it to this revenue cost center.
    The issue is in 4.6C env it used to pull this data, but in 6.00 it is not pulling.....
    Thx,
    Sandeep

  • Report Writer Issue

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created report ZTEPCA12 with report writer .When i check the syntex i am getting the error.
    The key figure cell ZTEPCA12 has not yet been defined
        Message no. GR687
    Can any one please tell me where do i need to define this.
    Thank in advance

    Hi,
    Go into GR32, select the report you have created in change mode.  Go to the columns, and view the key figure set.  In there you would have defined a set of key figures, which are basically value fields.
    The reason for the error could be that you have entered a key figure set there but not defined the set with the key figure fields or you would not have entered a key figure set in the report itself.
    Go into GS02 and enter the set name and include the key figures in the column From value from the table defined in the set.
    If the set does not exist then create a key figure set with key figures.
    Cheers.

  • Report writer issue during upgrade from 4.6 to ecc6

    Hi all,
    On generating report of report writer through GR5G (we are regenerating because we were getting dump for this report after up gradation from 4.6c to ecc6)we found one syntax error. The error is in auto generated program we can see that error but cant fix it as it needs a key and maybe that might not also be the right method to resolve is as auto generated codes should not be touched . So what would I like to ask  is how can error come in auto generated program and how do I fix it (error is in data declaration QUOTDATE_MAX(08)                       TYPE C VALUE '). Here u can see that instead of ‘’ only ‘ is used there is no closing inverted comma.

    Hi,
    You  need to make sure that all your delta queues are empty before the upgrade.
    In case of logistics make sure all v3 jobs are stopped and extract queues are empty.
    After the upgrade make sure that the source systems are mapped and working correctly. Check that your delta queues are conneted to the correct BW system.
    You need to test all your extractors as they might have changed (check release notes). Test delta loads to make sure they are working properly.

  • Error generating report in Report writer (GR214, short dump)

    Hello
    We are making a report in GGR2. When generating the report group, we have dump with error:
    Short text of error message:
    Internal error.: SAPMGRW2, Include: MGRW2F20, FORM: GEN_DATAFI
    ELD.
    Long text of error message:
    Technical information about the message:
    Message class....... "GR"
    Number.............. 214
    Variable 1.......... "SAPMGRW2"
    Variable 2.......... "MGRW2F20"
    Variable 3.......... "GEN_DATAFIELD"
    Variable 4.......... " "
    I have generated as well via GR52 with the same result.
    The report i try to generate has about 500 lines, uses a number of existing sets and has simple formulas in it. When i restrict the number of rows to say 400 I donu2019t have the issue. Is there a restriction to rows in report writer?
    Thanks for your help
    Kai

    Hi,
    The error you are receiving could be caused by a large number of row blocks in your report definition, (you can check the report definition with report RGRRDC00). A report should not contain too many row and column blocks. It is not possible to give an upper bound for the number of row blocks (since the length of the coding depends on other parts of the report as well). However, even a complicated Report Writer or Report Painter report should not contain more than 50 row blocks, and reports with more than 100 row blocks should not be defined.
    In this case the report(s) have to be redefined. Please also refer to the note 387916 for further information regarding this issue.
    When there are more than 30 variables in a report, please have a look at the note 332091.
    Please reduce the number of row blocks in the report by using the function 'Edit' -> 'Rows' -> 'Explode' in the Report Painter
    definition. This function enables several rows to be created for one row block (in the Report Painter definition one row block is just one row). Report Painter (and Report Writer) are designed to display hierarchical reports where the rows in the few row blocks are built up using the 'Explode' function.

  • Report Writer Excel integration

    I have a serious issue here that I am unable to resolve in report writer or painter.
    I want the report to export to excel with some formatting.
    The formatting that I want is that.
    My report has 1 row of profit center which is variablized for user selection, when a user wants to see a report for a certain range of profit centers, he will enter that in the selection criteria, the report comes out looking fine how I want it but when I turn the excel integration on , I want all the profit centers that were selected in the selection screen to appear in a seperate tab in excel..
    So one tab per profit center chosen , How do i do that?
    please help, urgent.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Use section option,
    Edit--- sections-New section (with profit center range).
    Thanks

  • Modifications in Transaction  S_ALR_87013611( Report Writer )

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a Standard transaction S_ALR_87013611 which in turn calls the transaction KSB1.This former transaction is developed using report writer. The Issue is that when I give Cost Center Values twice in the selection screen with multiple values , I get two cost centre values with same number and the corresponding values are added.So I need to restrict the Cost Centre values in the selection screen to unique values.And for that I need to modify the report . So if anyone have ever worked with report writer or report painter, please tell how to modify the report and add our own coding as in the case of ABAP Query.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for not replying...I have found the solution myself

  • Table fields used for basic key figures in report writer/report painter

    Does anyone know how I can find which <u>table field</u> is actually being used for SAP defined <b>basic key figures</b> in report writer report? For example, <b>HSL</b> is a basic key figure for income statement, library 0F1, report 0F-GUVV. It only shows data is coming from table GLFUNCT. How does the report writer program knows which fields to select? What is the logic behind the basic key figures?
    Any advice is appreciated!!

    I have now resolved this issue.
    I had to manually update TablesT804B and T804F. 
    I've added entries to T804A in the past without the need to update T804B or T804F manually so it appears that the way these tables work together has changed following an upgrade or application of support packs.

  • Reporting annoying issues for the entire Microsoft website (MSDN, forums, all)

    Is there any place where I can report bugs with how the Microsoft web sites behave? I can only find forums and "Microsoft Answers" categories about single products that Microsoft makes, but nothing about the infrastructure itself.
    For about two weeks now, I am required to log into my account every few hours whenever I access any Microsoft website. This includes MSDN help content, forums, or other resources. I need to login after opening the website through F1 help in Visual Studio
    as well as accessing a microsoft.com link from anywhere else like a web search or a direct link from web or an application.
    Auto-complete does not work either. My browser (Firefox) does save the password, but it never fills it into the form. Other people have already noticed that
    Microsoft applies some dirty tricks here. And even if the login is remembers for a moment, it's slow as hell. It takes a second or two to load the login.live.com page (which is not what I wanted to see), then it sits there for some more seconds before going
    anywhere. Other login services like Google or StackOverflow manage to log me in all within one second and most of the time I don't even see it.
    And then there's still that insecure SSL-to-non-SSL-submit warning that only occurs in other browsers then IE. Has anybody cared about that in the last couple years?! I'm not getting it now, probably because I'm not logged in anymore. It all slowly falls
    apart, piece by piece. Next step is probably losing my data or not loading it at all.
    THIS – IS – ANNOYING! And it really makes me feel like I don't want to use Microsoft products anymore (because even good desktop applications are connected to that silly website). I have opened a
    Microsoft Connect ticket for a part of this issue (it's grown bigger since then), but this ticket is totally ignored. If microsoft.com went down, they'd certainly care within minutes or hours. This bug is not even regarded in
    weeks!
    So do I have to write a postal letter to the president of the whole company or do they have support staff for that?! Do they have anybody who is capable of maintaining their website? It's really frustrating how Microsoft has a web presence that is worse
    than what our first-year trainees come up with. It's full of bugs and this is currently only the most relevant one. Do they even care about how the world sees them? Or is Microsoft currently preparing (and even failing) to move out of business?

  • Report Writer GR55 Report drill down line items

    Hi all,
    We have a GLT0 Report in Report writer. The system correctly executes the report and displays account balance for the period. The Report calls T-code FBL3 for display of line items(report/report interface). But when we drill down, the line items are not displayed for the specific period or selection and instead displays the line items for the whole period. (upto date).
    The report was copied from a different system and in the source system it was displaying the line items correctly.
    Could you pl share any inputs for resolving this issue.
    Thanks & Regards
    Sri.

    The issue was fixed by assigning FS10N to the report and drilling down line items from there.

    Thanks all for the reply.
    I am trying to solve a problem where report parameter value that is set at Management Console is wiped out after calling replaceConnection.
    databaseController.replaceConnection(oldConnectionInfo, newConnectionInfo,
    null,DBOptions._doNotVerifyDB);
    We have to support changing database connection from a java utility
    class. But once replaceConnection is called all existing static parameter values are lost. To fix this issue we thought of getting parameters and values before calling replaceConnection and setting it after replaceConnection.
    Version is CS2008 SP3 - version 12.3.0.601
    If there is any other option of fixing the original wipe out issue?
    ParameterValues.getValues() didn't return value. I will try ParameterValues.getCurrentCalues() but the document says ParameterValues.getValues() is  equivalent to the IParameterField.getCurrentValues() method  unless it is empty, in which case it is equivalent  to the IParameterField.getDefaultValues() method.
    So getCurrentValues() may not work.

  • T-code to see the report generated by a Report Writer.

    Hi,
    I  am new to report writer and need your help.
    I have a output which is generated  through a report writer.
    I need to compare the code that generated this output in development and production systems.
    The only information I have is  the library name and a z report name which gives the output.(throgh t-code GR33)
    But when I try to execute the same report in Se 38, it says that te report does not exists .
    Please suggest what is the t-code to see the report generated by a report writer , so that I can compare the codes in different systems.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thanks for the replies.
    The actual issue is :
    I have  a report created by report writer in 2 languages in Chineese and in English.
    In the selection screen of the chineese report some of the labels are missing.
    It is getting printed as ####### instead of fiscal year , Period etc.
    This is happening only in production while in the development system it is correct (Both the chineese and the English selection screen ).
    I guess this is a transportation issue.
    Please suggest.
    I am ot able to see the Transport Requests associated with it .
    Can you please guide me for the same.
    Where can I see the TRs associated with this report.
