Select Options, Report Painter

How can I create "Select Options" for a variable in the "General Data Selection" of the report painter screen.
Thank You.

If you specify selection parameters for several years and periods in a
    Report Writer or Report Painter report, the characteristics year and
    period are taken into account independent of each other.
    A report with the selections:
           From-year   :    1997
           To-year     :    1999
           From-period :     003
           To-period   :     008
    will hence select all the following data:
            003/1997 .. 008/1997, 003/1998 .. 008/1998, 003/1999 .. 008/1999
     This is the standard behavior of Report Writer and Report Painter
     reports.
     However, reports which directly display the data for the period
            003/1997 ............................................. 008/1999
     are required in some cases.
     You can achieve this in the report definition using the following
     procedure.

     SGRW_OM SGRW_PS SGRW_PC SGRW_SL SGRW_PCA SGRW_EC SGRW_LIS
     Cause and prerequisites
     This is a standard behavior of the Report Writer.
     Solution
     A procedure is described below to implement the selection over a period
     of several years and periods. This is merely an example which should
     serve as a support for experienced users of the Report Painter and
     Report Writer when defining their own reports.
     1. Definition of auxiliary column 1: 'All-periods'
         Period:   0 ... 17
         Year:      From-year .. To-year
         000/1997.....................................................017/1999
         Definition of auxiliary column 2: 'Periods before'
         Period:   0 ... From-period - 1
         Year:      From-year
         000/1997..002/1997
         Definition of auxiliary column 3: 'Periods after'
         Period:    To-period + 1 .. 17
         Year:      To-year
         009/1999..017/1999
         Definition of the formula column:
         Formula = 'All-periods' - 'Periods before' - 'Periods after'
         000/1997.....................................................017/199
         9
         000/1997..002/1997
         009/1999..017/1999
                            003/1997............... 008/1999
         Hide the three auxiliary columns. The formula column now correctly
         shows the required period
                            003/1997............... 008/1999
Note:The new reporting table RWCOOM is also available as of Release 4.0
for reports which were, up to now, defined in table CCSS. RWCOOM
contains the characteristic FISCPER which represents a combination of
year and period. You can directly define reports over several years and
periods using characteristic FISCPER without having to follow the
procedure described above.
Please take into account that you cannot call reports via report
Interfaces in the formula columns (see Note 98187).

I have a question about General Data Selection in Report Painter

Please help me out. Thi is the question....here it goes.
In a Report in ReportPainter, I have in the General Data Selection the following selected characteristics. They are:
Ledger = 0
Record Type = 0
Version = 1
Fiscal Year = Z-ANOACT
Period = (1CPERIV, 1CPERIB)
So that we have the next screen in the Reports execution.
Fiscal Year : 2006
From Period : 1
To Period : 12
Note:
*Z-ANOACT = Variable so that with a user-exit calculates the actual year. Right now is 2006.
*1CPERIV = This From-Period Variable is referenced to CCSS Table and PERBL Field Name. Its default value is 1.
*1CPERIB = This To-Period Variable is referenced to CCSS Table and PERBL Field Name.
Its default value is 12. Rigth now, we are in the fiscal month 5 (November).
Id like to filtrate information from January,2006,Period:07 to November,2007,Period:05.
I mean I work with the fiscal calendar because the information to get from the table is saved due to this calendar.
The Fiscal Calendar is from July to June:
Month          Period     Year
January          07     2006
February     08     2006
March          09     2006
April          10     2006
May          11     2006
June          12     2006
July          01     2007
Augost          02     2007
September     03     2007
October          04     2007
November     05     2007
December      06     2007
Right now, we are in November , 2006 (month=11) but according to the fiscal calendar we are in November, 2007 (month=5).
How I can accommodate my variables or what I am doing wrong so that I can select information from periods 7 to 12, 2006 ( January to June, 2006) and information from periods 1 to 5, 2007 (July to November, 2007) having the screen cited above so that report painter adds the 2 ranges.
I cannot do it with the criteria selection cited above because I only have a year and a range of periods and my end-user doesnt want to run my report twice:
One run with periods 7 to 12, 2006 and
Another run with periods 1 to 5, 2007 and then to add the 2 reports in excel to form a report.
Hed like something in my screen like this
Fiscal Year = 2006
From period = 7
To Period = 12
Fiscal Year = 2007
From period = 1
To Period = 5
And then report painter will add the 2 ranges.
Many Thanks if you know anything that can help me, please let me know.

Requirement to add new parameter in selection in report painter report

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to add an extra field in Cost center:Act/Plan/Comm CC Cur report.This is otherwise a Z report in report painter with 0% code (T-code : GR55-> Report group->Report).But,when we go to technical information of this report,it has four standard sap programs,which contains code for this selection screen.It does not even have a modification scope.
Selection screen of this report contains following parameters:
Selection values:
Controlling Ar
Fiscal Year
From Period
To Period
Plan Version
Selection Groups:
Cost Center Group
Or value(s)
Cost Element Group
Or value(s)
My requirement is to add one more parameter : Purchase oeder in new block:
Is there any way to achieve it.
Note: Copying the standard progs into custom prog is not working,i already tried that.
Please let me know your suggestions,if any one of you came across such requirement before.it is very impoertant for me.
Thanks in advance,
Meenakshi

Hi,
This report (and all generic reports which are based on the same library) looks on CCSS structure. This structure extracts data from totals tables. Therefore, it's not possible to add the parameter of purchase order, as it's a detail line attribute.

Eli

ABDUL: I understand the ABAP Code but the information is saved in the table according to the fiscal calendar.
Fiscal Calendar Number of the MonthYear
January             7                    2006
February            8                    2006
March               9                    2006
April               10                    2006

October             4                    2007
November            5                    2007
December            6                    2007
Normally, We are in November 2006 (month=11, year 2006).
However, fiscally; We are November 2007 (month=5, year=2007).
Important Notes:
     The information is saved according to the fiscal calendar in the table.
     My end-user wants to filtrate the information from January to November . I mean
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
I understand you told me about the ABAP code, for example my characteristics in the general data selection are:
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period: 7
To       Period: 5   (I would have an error here because From-Period Variable is greater than To-Period Variable)
According the ABAP code you told me, this would be:
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period: 1
To       Period: 11
If I run the report with these last parameters you told me, report painter only would add information from year 2006 and fiscal months 1 to 11 (July to May except June). We dont want this, that we want is :
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
How can I do this?? My email is [email protected] or [email protected]
Right now, the end-user runs the report twice and adds the information in excel. One run for :
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period:      7
To       Period:     12
And other run with:
Actual Year   : 2007
From    Period:      1
To        Period:       5
But the question is how you can do it with only a run and in this way:
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
Thanks if someone can help me!!

Generate Data selection in Report Painter using Z fields

Hi all,
I had created Customer specific fields in project definition and now i want to use them in PS reporting.
I did what note 929889 say to do that, i created structure CI_CC1S and included my Z fileds. Then i entered GRCT and create a new entry: CCSS in field table and in Field name ZZDEPARTAMENTO.
I went to GR22 and modify 6P3 library to check this new characteristics.
In report writer i created the variable with a set , execute report and may new field appears in selection screen, the problem is that the program SAFK21R doesn't consider my new field in the selection so the display is wrong... what is missing? CAn any one help with this issue?
I think it's because structure CCR1S is empty in the Z fields.... what i need to create to report recognize z field as selection options.
Best Regards
Lina

hi poonam,

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.

Alternative to select-options..

Hi All,
I am using select-option for a char field having length 50 char.
But as per the std it takes only 45 chars.
But I want all the 50 char. Is there any alternative to select-option other than
parameter?
Thanx.

HI
use ranges for this....
for syntax see this
Here both SELECT-OPTIONS & RANGES works for the same purpose. They both are used for the range selection from selection screen. The main diff. between them is, while we use SELECT-OPTIONS system implicitly creates the select options internal table which contains the fields of SIGN,OPTION,LOW & HIGH. But in case of RANGES, this internal table should be defined explicitly.
Eg. to SELECT-OPTIONS :
REPORT YARSELECT.
TABLES YTXLFA1.
SELECT-OPTIONS : VENDOR FOR YTXLFA1-LIFNR.
INITIALIZATION.
VENDOR-LOW    =   1000.               " It specifies the range starting value.
VENDOR-HIGH    =   2000.               " It specifies the range ending value.
VENDOR-OPTION = 'BT'.                " specifies ranges value is in between.
VENDOR-SIGN      = 'I'.                     "specifies both inclussive.
APPEND VENDOR.
SELECT LIFNR LAND1 NAME1 FROM LFA1 INTO TABLE ITAB
WHERE LIFNR IN VENDOR.
Eg. to RANGES:
REPORT YARRANGE.
TABLES YTXLFA1.
RANGES: VENDOR FOR YTXFLA1-LIFNR.
SELECT LIFNR LAND1 NAME1 FROM LFA1 INTO TABLE ITAB
WHERE LIFNR IN VENDOR.
Here with RANGES user has to design an internal table with fields -
SIGN,OPTION,LOW and HIGH EXPLICITLY.
>
Example:
select-options: bukrs for zstock-bukrs.
Should the user fill in 'ABFI' in BUKRS on the selection screen, BUKRS will look like this:
IEQABFI
This is because BUKRS is set as a table as follows:
begin of bukrs occurs 0,
SIGN(1)    type c,
OPTION(2) type c,
LOW         like bukrs,
HIGH         like bukrs,
end of bukrs.
Now, when you create the following range, it will have the exact same fields set inside its table:
Ranges: bukrs for zstock-bukrs.
The difference is, because ranges doesn't show on the selection screen, you will have to fill it yourself, meaning you will have to fill bukrs-sign, bukrs-option, bukrs-low & bukrs-high all manually.
Some tips:
Sign is always I (for Include) or E (for Exclude)
Option can be a whole range, which includes:
EQ        (Equal)
BT        (Between))
CP        (Contain Pattern)
So let's say you want to have the range check for all company codes not starting with AB, you will set your code as follow:
ranges: bukrs for zstock-bukrs.
bukrs-sign = 'E'.             "Exclude
bukrs-option = 'CP'.        "Pattern
bukrs-low = 'AB*'.            "Low Value
bukrs-high = ''.                "High Value
append bukrs.
Always remember to APPEND your range when you fill it, as the WHERE clause checks against the lines of the range table, not against the header line.
Hope this explains it well enough.
>
What does SIGN "I" & "E" mean?
The "I" stands for Include, and the "E" for Exclude.
The easiest way to learn how the range selections work is, create the following dummy program:
report dummy.
tables: mara.
select-options: matnr for mara-matnr.
start-of-selection.
loop at matnr.
write: / matnr-sign,
           matnr-option,
           matnr-low,
           matnr-high.
endloop.
Run this program, and fill in a lot of junk into MATNR. Fill in some includes, some excludes, some ranges, etc., and you will soon realise how the system builds ranges (select-options). Once you know that, you can fill your own ranges quickly and efficiently.

Hello...
In the program ...we can find the following chunk of code..
selection-screen:begin of block B1 with frame title text-001.
Parameters : ....
select-options:.....
selection-screen:end of block b1.
if we need to add any more user inputs we can write the code inside the existing
selection screen....end of block .
or create a new block ..just the block name should be different...
if we are using select options...we need to declare the table name using the key word for the field on which we are giving select options ....
Tables : BSIK.
Please see the following code:
Imagine :- we have the current selection screen..
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
PARAMETERS: P_BUKRS LIKE BSIK-BUKRS DEFAULT SPACE.
SELECT-OPTIONS: S_LIFNR FOR BSIK-LIFNR.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
we need to add 2 more fields on the selection screen ..this we can do as the following
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
PARAMETERS: P_BUKRS LIKE BSIK-BUKRS DEFAULT SPACE.
SELECT-OPTIONS: S_LIFNR FOR BSIK-LIFNR,
                S_HKONT FOR BSIK-HKONT.
PARAMETER: P_DATE LIKE BSIK-BUDAT OBLIGATORY DEFAULT
           SY-DATUM.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
OR...create a new block...
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B2 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-002.
SELECT-OPTIONS:   S_HKONT FOR BSIK-HKONT.
PARAMETER: P_DATE LIKE RFPDO-ALLGSTID OBLIGATORY DEFAULT
           SY-DATUM.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B2.
there are many options available in selection screens..like creating check box,radio button etc..
for more info press F1 help on the Selection screen in the ABAP editor
