Running GR55 reports for special periods

When running GR55 reports, the selection field for "Period" only lists periods 1 to 12. We are using the standard K4 FI year variant.
Can someone tell me how to get the 4 special periods displayed for selection?
Thank you,
Hakiza

The drop down in the "To" field only lists periods 001 to 012, but it lets you manually enter other periods such as 14 or 16.
So you are not limited by the periods displayed in the drop down box.
I hope this solves your problem. Thanks,
Hakiza

Stock report for a period (based on posting date)

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement as under:
1) We want a report for a period say from 01.04.2011 to 30.09.2011 (closed period for both MM and FI postings). Report is being taken on a later date say 01.12.2011.
2) The report should say the status of stock as of 30.09.2011 only even of being taken in the month of December
3) I tried to take the desired report through MB5B for the period 30.09.2011 to 30.09.2011 (selection date fields) on 20th december, 2011 and noticed that if same report with the same selection criteria is taken at two different times, output data is not the same whereas MM and FI posting periods are already closed.
Can anybody suggest alternative SAP standard report where output will remain the same if report with same selection criteria is taken at different intervals ELSE in case of change we should be able to see the documents posted in between if back dated entries have been posted after opening MM /FI period.
thanks

sure it speaks the same, but it mentions as well the reasons (1) and has much more information (2) and a solution.(3)
1)
user starts transaction MB5B for a very large number of materials or for all materials in a plant
During the runtime of transaction MB5B, goods movements are posted in parallel:
- The results of transaction MB5B are incorrect.
- Each run of transaction MB5B returns different results for the same combination of "material + plant".
Example: Transaction MB5B should process 100 materials with 10,000 MM documents each. The system takes approximately 1 second to read the material master data and it takes approximately 1 hour to read the MM and FI documents. A goods movement for a material to be processed is posted approximately 10 minutes after you start transaction MB5B. The stock for this material before this posting has already been determined. The new MM document is also read, however. The stock read before the posting is used as the basis for calculating the stocks for the start and end date.
Even for an old and closed period, MB5B starts today and calculates backwards any movement to finally get the stock for the time your specified in your selection.
2)
The SAP standard release does not include a solution
so you have to understand that there is no real alternative transaction in SAP
3) and then they provide a large section with a workaround that can be developed by an experienced programmer within 3 to 5 days.
So how shall anyone here be able to tell you an alternative report?
if someone does, then it is an owndeveloped z-report which is not available in your sap system.
if you know that people want lookup period closing stocks at any time in future, then either schedule MB52 at month end and store the list somewhere (and do not allow backposting)
or have an Abaper create a stock report based on the history tables MARDH, MCHBH, MBEWH etc.
And even here you may encounter an issue at some day, if you start archving special stocks or material masters, because then the stock figures from the historic tables are gone and you cannot rebuilt a reliable stock report .

Need to run the report for All Values when Null is passed in parameter

Hi All,
In my BIP report, I am using a parameter :asset with Type as Text, which means user will type the values for the parameter in the text box.
Now, this parameter can take multiple comma separated values. I have a requirement to run the report for All Values when user doesn't enter any value in the parameter text box and if user enters any value(s) then the report will run for those values . The way, I tried to handle that in the query using couple of ways was :
IMP : My Database is SQL Server
where
(table.asset = isnull((:asset), table.asset) or table.asset in (:asset))
Now this works fine when I give a single asset number but when I give multiple values separated by comma like 123, 345 in the text box, then the statement fails saying 'encountered ,'
I also tried simply
table.asset in isnull((:asset),table.asset) -- but this doesn't work as it doesn't allow me to use in operater while using isnull and if i will use = operater then it won't work in case of multiple values
Any suggestions on how can I handle this? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

thanks for replying, but i tried this option too, it did not work for me, neither isnull nor coalesce. I mean, the solution work for single value but when i pass multiple values then separated by a comma then it doesn't work and shows me an error like "Incorrect Syntax ','". I am using SQL server as DB and bip is 10.1.3.4.1
also please share the SR number, so i can also check the same.
can there be any other work around to this?
thanks,
ronny

How to run GR55 reports in background for cost center hierarchies

1. I have been asked by our users to create batch jobs to run in the background for some GR55 reports, that can then be sent directly to cost center managers via email.
I have figured out the process to do this as long as the cost center manager only needs to see a single cost center at a time. However, if they are in charge of multiple cost centers, we also want to send them a summarized report using the hierarchy we have set up. I can't seem to make this work, as the job only seem to recognize the last cost center in the group and the report is for that cost center.
Example. cost centers 100, 200 and 300 belong to hierarchy abc. If I run the job just for cost center 100 it is fine. But if I have a variant to run hierarchy abc, or even if I use the range 100 to 300, all I get is a report for cost center 300.
We cannot use BW because we only have revenue in BW. I am being asked to make this work from standard R/3 within the GR55 realm of reporting.
2. In addition, the report selection criteria includes two separate plan/forecast versions. They need to update these each month prior to running the reports and sending them out. I looked at the variables associated with the versions and tried to set them up with default values that I hoped would update automatically so that they don't have to manually change 50 or so variants each month. But I don't see any dynamic variables that I can use to have the system make that change without going into each variant individually.
3. There is another piece to this equation as well. There is another report they want sent out in batch, but it is several pages wide in SAP and several pages long. So when you run it in batch and either spool it or get it sent as an email, it is very ugly in the formatting due to all the page splits horizontally and vertically. If anyone knows how to get the report to stay together like it would if you had excel integration turned on, it would be very helpful. I have tried running it with that integration turned on, but the jobs are set up with user batch_mgr and not my id, so it isn't working well. The batch_mgr id is just a system id, not a dialog id. We also don't want the jobs set up with a regular user id because if people leave, then the jobs all need to be changed.

Kim,
I may have options for issues 1 and 2. In case of 3, what I can tell you is I understand the concern, but this is what typically happens in some standard CO reports that are not ALV compatible, I don't think there is not much there to do unless you add some custom code for the output.
In regards to point 1, yes, I have noticed that this happens in some standard and custom reporting, not sure what is going on. I came up with a work around that made the trick for my client in a similar scenario; which is editing the cost center groups. For instance, instead of having the group set as a range from 100 to 300, the groups are have listed the cost centers, 100, 200 and 300. Obviously, the disadvantage of this option is that it would require a bit of more cost center group maintenance.
In regards to point 2, I understand from your note that your users already have set up selection variants for the report. One option for you is to get the help from a developer to create a custom period variable and tiny program that runs in batch every month that would update that variable accordingly. Once that's done, you may have to update at least once, the selection variant attributes to change the period to a selection variable, so everytime from that point of time forward that the variable gets updated, it will be ready with the right value for every selection variant that uses it.
Hope this helps.

Enter you selection date as 01.09.2009 to 31.09.2010 and enter the plant and leave the all selection as per SAP standard..

Can SAP run the depreciation for closed Period and posting to diff month?

My client forgot to run the depreciation for Jan 2011, and now the Jan period has been closed and report also done.
My solution was to re-open the Jan and does the depreciation, once completed reclassify Jan depreciation posting to Feb 2011 manually.
I am just wandering whether SAP can handle this different way.
Can SAP performs Jan (Closed Period) depreciation and post to Feb period automatically or any other suggestions?
Cheers

Hi
Yes, you can do that
Follow this thread... Unable to post depreciation- Error AA730
Using ABF1, you can do it

How to Run a Report for Blanket PO that have been OVER Invoiced (over limit

Hi All,
How do I run a report in ME2N, where I would want to see all the Blanket POs (Framework Orders) that has a "Actual Value" (the amt invoiced so far) which is Greater than the Overall Limit (specified in the "Limits" tab)?
Are there any fields in the Dynamic Selection in ME2N? I coudn't Find any......How can I compare two fields in the Blanket PO, for example "Overal Limit' > "Actual Value"?? How to put this selection criteria in ME2N
Edited by: Duke Dukester on Sep 17, 2008 10:31 AM

You will not get this information via ME2N but you can get via ME2S
once you execute the ME2S you will see the PO lines and if oyu double click on it than you will get the all information you are looking but the exact query directly not possible with ME2S
The best way is write the query using table ESUH and EKPO
joint EKPO to ESUH and do the query based on your requirements.
you can get the package number from EKPO and based on the package number you can retrive the data form ESUH table

How can I run the report for different input values at the same time?

Reports version: Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1
Oracle version: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0
I want to run the same report for different input parameter values and spool each o/p to different file and ftp to a server. For this, as a first step, I am spooling different input values in to a file, reading those values through a loop and calling the report for that input values. Each report run/execution is taking 15 minutes. Total report execution is taking approximately 4 hours (assuming 16 different input values) to complete. So I have to wait 4 hours to see ALL outputs.
I would like to run the report parallel for ALL the input values and I should be able to see the ALL outputs with in 15 or 16 minutes.
In my shell script, I added & symbol at the end of the report call to start/run the job in the background. Due to this the control passed to the next step after the report call. At this place I have an ftp command to send the output file to a different server and it is giving error some thing like o/p file is not available/created yet". This is due to the fact that report writer is NOT yet completely started/initiated or it is NOT completed the spooling.
How can I run the report at the same time for all the input values and save the time?
Thanks in advance.
Kishore.

Increase the number of server engines running right now it seems there is only one engine running ,increase it to 4 or 6
and then atleast 4 or 6 reports will run simultaneously.
For FTPing the output add to your sript to check whether it is locked and if not then only try to ftp .
Also for more better functionality read the document (chapter 15 ) for 10g reports for its new fuinctionality.

Problem: Run Time Evaluation for Future Period

Hi SAP Gurus, can someone help me solving this problem:
My client need to run time evaluation for 2-months period ahead of time. But every time I tried, time evaluation always stops at end of the current month, no further dates in the future. I had created attendance data 2002 for all the future dates. IT7, 2002, 2006 and all configurations seem to be OK (T510S,T569R). Test run is also OK with good future results. What could possibly be missing? Thank you in advance.
Bill

Thank you very much, Arun, Banu, Stefan and Om.
Yes, I have entered the "Evaluation up to" date (60 days later);
The schema has a function "Check FUT".
Test future run result was generated correctly.
Still I can't have future results in real run.
So, what else I should check into?
Thanks again.
Bill

To Run the Costing for Previous period

Dear Firends,
I need some help for costing run for Pervious period.
In my sap system Current period is 04-2009. But i want to run costing RUN upto 03-2009 (Previous Period ) because i have some pending documents is there for 04-2009 period. So we plan run the costing for 03-2009 period before go to 05-2009 period.
How to give the period date.....
Thanks & Regards
Saravanan R

Dear Saravanan,
It is not possible to create a cost estimate for the past period and to release the same.
1.If your Costing Run date is some future date ,but the Costing Date from,Qty Structure Date,Valuation date is on
system's date,then the system will allow to release the cost and the same can be checked under Planned Price,Standard
price under Current Column in Costing 2 view.
2.If your costing run date is current date & the valuation,Qty structure date is some future date,then the system will not
allow you to release the cost.
So with this check & revert back.

Running a report for several inputs

I have to run a report and email the output for several inputs say around 60. what would be the best way of doing it.

Hi,
Write two programs...
In the first program ..create an internal table with input data and loop that internal table and within the loop call the second program which sends a mail with the input data as selection screen. It may work...

Retired asset - cannot run standart report for closed fical year

Hi there,
I was just wondering how to run standart asset report (Y_T11_68000004, AR02) for closed fiscal year in case of the asset was retired during this year.
As I know report can be run only with last date of closed fiscal year (12/31/200x) otherwise got message AU116. But when I have asset retired i.e. in 30/10/200x the report for this year is empty and cant see the movements data.
Any ideas? Maybe some settings for asset history report, or is there another report for movements for previous years.... ?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
start the asset history sheet, there you can see all information.
Alternative is to create an own query on logical database in SQ01.

Markus
