Reporting on direct reports by position.

Question

I currently run reports on line managers and how many people report to them. I do this by using Ad Hoc Query and choosing HR-OM:PPOME (/SAPQUERY/HE). This gives me a list of staff and their line managers. I then run a quick pivot table to get the amount of staff a line manager has reporting to him. However if there are gapped or vacant post between levels, the line manager above the vacant post picks up the employees below the vacant post as their own direct reports.
I have had a request to create a report that only picks up direct reports, but rather than link the line manager to employees they have working for them, it is a requirement to link the position to the individuals.
Eg. John Smith (Head of Production) sits at the top of the Organisational Management structure. On the current report Bill Johnson (Production Manager) will be show us one of his reports. However there is a vacant post (Deputy Head of Production) in between the 2 employees which John line manages and Bill reports to. 
Does anybody know if there is a report that i can run with the position relationships on as well as basic staff data?

Answer 1

I require the following fields to be output:
Personnel Number (If Occupied)
Employee Name (If Occupied)
Payroll Grade
Pay Scale Group
Position Number
Position Name
Cost Centre Number
Cost Centre Name
Name of Organisational Unit (Division)
Line Manager's (LM's) Personnel Number  (If Occupied)
LM's Name (If Occupied)
LM's Payroll Grade
LM's Pay Scale Group
LM's Position Number
LM's Position Name
LM's Cost Centre Number
LM's Cost Centre Name
LM's Name of Organisational Unit (Division)
This will include any vacant posts as well as occupied posts. Then i can mess around with pivot tables and lookups in Excel.
