Report Writer using Consolidation Group

Hi,
   I have created a reconciliation report using report writer (GR55).
However, there is no data extraction when I used the field reconciliation group (FIMC-RCONGR or FIMC-INICG).
   Regards,
   Leslie

1) If you have proper constraints (means foreign-keys) between the tables you could try to read the relations between the tables using a Select from ALL_CONSTRAINTS) but even this will be not to easy starting with tables having more than one constraint between each other. You have several possibilities to execute the generated sql depending on what you want to do with the query result.
- Create a record-group with the created sql using CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY-buit-in.
- Use DBMS_SQL to execute with dynamic sql.
- use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (works only in a database function/procedure).
What do you want to do with the results of your query?

Report Writer - Using Formula in a set

Hi I am trying to learn Report Writer (GR31) and one of the things I want to do is put a formula in a set, but I am having hard time getting it to work.
I want to put a formula like this...
if account is 5000000 then put do one thing else put 1
IF '&ZACCT1' = 500000 THEN '001' * 'A' ELSE 1
but I am not getting any value back.
Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
John

Hi John Lee,
The logic that you would want , can be implemented through a column set. That is, as per your logic written in the set, your column values differ.
First in your set, keep your account number in the first set line. ie. 5000000.
Then you enter the following formula in the second line of a set defined for a report column:
IF u2018001u2019 > 5000000 THEN u2018001u2019 ELSE 0
If the value in the first column (set line 001) is greater than 5000000, then this value displays in the second column; if the value in the first column is less than 1000, the value 0 displays in the second column.
Revert if you need any additional help.
Regards,
Subin John

REPORT WRITER AND REPORT PAINTER

Hi Techis,
Will anybody pls tell me the details workin of reort painter and report writer along with Tr code and also will u pls give me the steps to execute such type of report.
Rewards will be given for each reply.

hi santosh,
Where Is Report Painter/Report Writer Used?
Initially, both tools were only available to the FI/CO modules. Later, with the introduction of the Logistics Information System and Flexible Analyses in Release 3.x, the functionality of these tools was further expanded. It still is not widely known that the Report Painter/Writer can be used for reporting against structures other than those delivered in FI and CO (see TechTalk on page 8-4).
A common misconception in the user community is that Report Painter/Report Writer can only be used to report against a single table. However, some reporting structures do report against multiple tables. For example, CCSS (for Cost Center Accounting) refers to tables COSP, COSS and more, depending on the key figure configuration. Similarly, FI-SL (Special Purpose Ledger) reporting structures include summary and line-item tables (the key figure set determines where the data comes from).
To configure other table joins, views may be created joining the necessary tables, and views can be added to the control tables, via Flexible Analyses in LIS. Report Painter/Report Writer can be used in almost any application area in R/3 to report on currencies and quantities.
Data tables supported
Both Report Painter and Report Writer can be used to report on the following tables and tables types:
< Evaluation structures set up in the Logistics Information System (LIS). These structures normally begin with an S or ZF. Several different tables and views within the R/3 System can be added as evaluation structures.
Note: You cannot add cluster tables, such as BSEG.
< CCSS is used for Cost Center Accounting (CO-CCA), Internal Orders (CO-OPA), Activity Based Costing (CO-ABC) and for cost element reports in Project Systems (PS).
< GLFUNCT is used for functional area reporting in cost-of-sales accounting.
< GLPCT and GLPCOP are used for Profit Center Accounting (CO-PCA/EC-PCA).
< FILC is used for Legal Consolidations (FI-LC).
< COFIT is used for the Controlling Reconciliation Ledger (CO-CEL).
< ZZ tables are created for the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL).
< FIMC is used for consolidations in the Enterprise Controlling module (EC-LC).
< GLT0 is used for Financial Accounting (General Ledger) reports by account, company, and business area (FI-GL).
< KKBC, KKBE, and KKBU are used for the Controlling Product Costing module (CO-Costing).
< New in Release 4.0A: RWCOOM is used for CO-CCA, CO-OPA, and CO-ABC. RWCOOM is used for special standard reports like internal order budget reports, cost center budget reports and cost component reports.
Note: RPPS was used for Project Systems (PS). However, it is obsolete and will no longer be supported in Release 4.0. In Release 3.x there were only two special reports (6P70 and 6P71) using RPPS. These reports cannot be called directly, but via ABAP reports RKOPLAN0 and RKOPLAN1.
How to Access Report Painter/Report Writer?
To access the Report Painter you may use either of the following two methods:
< Transaction FGRP
< From the SAP main menu, choose Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter.
Report Writer functions can be accessed from within the Report Painter. To access Report Writer, choose the following menu path from the SAP main menu:
Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter® Report Writer.
How Is Report Painter/Report Writer Organized?
Report Painter/Report Writer has four main components:
< Sets: Sets are logical groupings of characteristic values. For example, a cash line on a balance sheet is made up of a set of cash accounts or an energy product line on an inventory report is made up of a set of energy products. Variables can also be created which are placeholders for sets, or values within sets.
< Libraries: Libraries control which characteristics and key figures from a table are available for reporting.
< Reports: Reports hold a definition of the rows, columns, and overall data selection. They also include the header and footer texts and layout settings.
< Report Groups: Report groups can contain one or more reports. The report group is what you executenot the actual report. A report group is generated to create a set of ABAP programs that produce the reports.
How Does Report Painter Differ from Other Reporting Tools?
< With the exception of row titles which have text fields, Report Painter/Report Writer reports display numerical fields only (for example, dollar and quantity fields). This is not a requirement for ABAP Query and typical line item reporting tools, which can display arbitrary text columns.
< While printed Report Painter/Report Writer reports appear much the same way on paper as they do on screen, the Drilldown reporting tool produces a different output format. Drilldown reporting is an online analytical tool which can be used to drill down to different levels of detail, but it is infrequently used for printing.
< Report Painter/Report Writer reports are hierarchical and take advantage of configured hierarchies (for example, with cost center hierarchies). You can also execute Report Painter/Report Writer reports from each level within a hierarchy.
< Report Painter/Report Writer reports can handle multiple currency/quantity units within a single column.
< Report Painter/Report Writer is well suited to handle reports that require mass production. For example, Report Painter/Report Writer is a particularly effective tool for creating month-end reports.

Report writer forms

Hi,
we have a custom report writer report, how can we see the layout of the form/selection screen of the report since some changes needs to be done in the selection screen for the report?
Thank you.

For report painter use GRR2 - Change and report writer use GR32 - Change.
pls assign points to say thanks.

Report Writer not displaying the column heading correctly.

Hi,
We have generated the report writer using the transaction GR55 by logging in EN language.
But when we executed the report, column headings are not displayed properly, instead it is displayed some thing like $ZR07##ZCO-OI# $.
Please help us in solving this issue.
Regards
Shibin

Hi,
Problem solved. We need to generate the report writer in original language only and it will reflect in other languages. Directly if we execute in other language it will display correct headings.
if we generate in other language it will display wrong heading even in original language also.
So generate report writer in original language only
Regards
Shibino.

Report Writer for ICR process (table group FBICRC002)

Hello Gurus,
I have implemented the new ICR process 002. It is working fine and I now want to create reports based on tables FBICRC002A & FBICRC002T.
When I try to create a library based on table FBICRC002T the system block me saying that "Table FBICRC002T is not installed in Report Writer" (message GR493).
Should I install the table group FBICRC002 to be able to use these data into report writer?
Do you know why this table group already exists and cannot be displayed?
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Pascal.

Consolidation Group Hierarchy in the reports

Hello exports,
Recently we had a consolidation group hierarchy cahnge. We moved a cons unit from one cons group to other. I did not use the drag and drop of course. The change had been made from 01.10.
The consolidation group is time depended.
The problem regards the queries I have: when I open the combo box of the "consolidation group hierarchy" I expect to get
2 optional hierarchies: one for the previous hierarchy and second for current hierarchy.
Instead I get to see only the current hierarchy. In my point of view it is wrong because users who would like to watch reports for 30.09 can only get to see the new hierarchy which is not relevant for 30.09 yet.
Any ideas anyone ?
Thanks

Collet Hi,
Thanks again. The resaults are correct , this is not the problem.
Let me use an example in order to simplify the problem:
Suppose I made an organizational change in 01.10 in which CC A became CG A and owns some other CC under it.
From your point of view, from 01.10 and on the users will see on the selection screen only CG A,
Even if they rather produce the report for 30.09, they wont be able to select CC A.
By the way, on the result screen of the query the hierarchy acts perfectly- just like the hierarchy has been at the specified date, 30.09. As I mentioned- the only problem is relevant for the selection screen.
Thanks again

Subreport data use to group Values in Main Report

Hello,
I create a Subreport in my header to calculate values, the formula is based on a specific sorting and comparison of previous values.
In my main report I need to Group my values depending on the result. Because the group I will made on the Main Report can't be the same sorting of the SubReport.
SUB-REPORT
1 Paris (result "Capital")
2 Lille (result "Same Country of Paris")
3 Lyon (result "Same Country of Paris")
4 London (result "Capital")
5 Manchester ("Same Country of London")
MAIN-REPORT
Group
- CAPITAL (Paris, London)
- Same Country of London (Manchester)
- Same Country of Paris (Lille, Lyon)
My issue, is that I don't know how to group values on MainReport based on a formula Result of the SubReport
OR, may be there is a way to search on value in the sub-report ?

You can't use a shared variable to group on from a sub report in the main report since a shared variable evaluation time is done whileprintingrecords.
Try using a SQL expression to return the same result as the subreport would. You can then group on the SQL expression

Use of Selection Rule in Report Writer.

Hello Everybody,
I am trying to make use of selection rule in report writer. We have a mixed chart of accounts using both IFRS and USGAAP account. Distinction between USGAAP and IFRS is based on certain value in gl account master data. Using report writer rule I wish to exclude IFRS account for a specfic report.
For example
REPORT = X = Rule to restrict selection to only USGAAP account
REPORT = Y = Rule to restrict selection to only IFRS account.
I have created a rule and tried to build user-exit around it. However during the callup of the selection rule no values are transferred to user-exit and therefore the ABAP consultant is not able to write any specific code.
Request your inputs on usage of selection rules in report writer.

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

Does anyone know how I can find which table field is actually being used for SAP defined basic key figures in report writer report? For example, HSL 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.

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.

Use of "Group" & "Dimlist" property in generating reports.

Hi BPC Gurus,
I want to know how to make use of "Group" & "Dimlist" property in generating reports. I know these are the properties available in Appset Dimensions, but how to configure and how to call in report schedule is what I have not understood. Can anybody explain it with example.
Regards
KumarMG

Hi, just as Nilanjan said the DIMLIST property, actually is better to use as a "group" filter inside of business rules, however it is an available property that You can use into the "memberset options of any template, clicling with the rigth bottom of your mouse and selecting the "generator filter" option, it gonna let You create eficient templates.
