Track report painter change

our previous consultant change some Grr2 report, but system doesn't have change log for it, how can we know what he changes(i.e. collumn, formula, gen data selection), thanks

Hi,
as you said, changes are not recorded. So
1: ask for a change documentation from the consultant (I am wondering why this is not made with the changes itself)
2: Maybe you have some older versions of the same report in other systems/clients (development, sandbox,...) you can compare them using 2 screens.
Best regrads, Christian

GRR3 Report Painter change history

Hello Experts,
Please bare with me as I am a security consultant and not functional. Today, I received an inquiry regarding GRR3 - Report Painter. It was noticed that in one of the reports that a few items were added in.
What I would like to know is how I can find who made these changes to this specific report and when. Is there any way to do this within GRR3 or from any other transaction code that you know of?
Many thanks for advice.

Thank you very much for such a simple and informative reply.
I was also wondering if there happened to be another area or table in which I can see even more details. I noticed that it says last changed and username (which is great), but are there any other places which shows more details (i.e. for which items were changed by whom?). I know this level of detail is possible with user IDs but not sure about Report Painter.

How can I change reports in report painter.

Dear Consultants,
I need to change report according to client requirment.
1, Lay out change in std report.
2, How can I customize report to get cost element group wise with sub totals one by one.
Please tell me how to do it step by step, I'll will award full points.
Kind regards,
Arvey.

Dear Arvey,
1. Layout can be changes by going into report painter change transaction GRR2, selecting the report (by double click) and then going to Formatting-->Report layout.
2. Second question is not very clear to me. pls provide more detail.
Regards,

Hi
i am sending you a sample of how to createa report in report painter follow it,
Main Steps in Creating a Report Using Report Painter
The illustration below shows the main steps in creating a report with Report Painter:
In this section, you learn how to create a Profit Center Accounting (PCA) report with Report Painter.
For these sample reports, you should focus on the tables that correspond to the SAP application areas with which you are working. The examples shown in this section have been created in Release 4.6C.
Sample Report for Gross Profit Margin
Bungee Corporation wants to use Report Painter to create a gross margin report. This Profit Center Accounting report uses data table GLPCT. The desired PCA report displays the gross margin for each profit center.
Below is an illustration of the completed gross margin report.
Prerequisites to Creating a Report with Report Painter
Before you can create a report with Report Painter, you need to:
     Determine the table
     Find the library
     Create sets
     Create variables
The following sections explain these prerequisites.
Determine the Table
Before you can start creating the report, you must decide on the table you need to use. In this example, we use table GLPCT in Profit Center Accounting.
Find the Library
Determine the library you want to use for the desired table.
If you need to create a library, on the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
     From the navigation menu, choose SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report Writer → Library → Create.
     In the Command field, enter transaction GR21 and choose .
In our example, we use existing library 8A2 for creating a report.
Create Sets
Create the required sets for your report. To create a set, on the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
     From the navigation menu, choose SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report Writer → Set → Create.
     In the Command field, enter transaction GS01 and choose .
Note that this procedure is not necessary for creating the report given in the example that follows.
Create Variables
Create any variables for the fields that must be entered before the report is executed. To create a variable, on the SAP Easy Access screen, either:
     From the navigation menu, choose SAP menu → Information systems → Ad hoc reports → Report painter → Report Writer → Variable → Create.
     In the Command field, enter transaction GS11 and choose .
Note that this procedure is not necessary for the sample report in the next section.

o     Define the columns (or columns with a formula)
o     Define the general data selection
Define Rows
Example Task: Defining rows (including defining a row with a formula)
To start defining the rows, on the Report Painter: Create Report screen, double click on Row
On the Element definition: Row1 dialog box:
a.     To include characteristics in the first row of the report, select the desired characteristics in the Available characteristics frame (for example, Account number)
b.     Use to transfer the chosen characteristic to the Selected characteristics frame.
c.     In From, enter the account number(s) you want to include in the row definition. Either enter to and from values or a group set (for example, the value 800000).
d.     To enter the row heading, choose
On the Text maintenance dialog box:
a.     In Short, enter the desired short text (for example, Revenue).
b.     To copy the short text into the Medium and Long text fields, choose Copy short text.
c.     To continue, choose
On the Element definition: Row1 dialog box:
a.     To check if the selection is correct, choose Check.
b.     To transfer the selection to the row 1 definition, choose Confirm.

b.     Double-click on Row 3.
On the Select element type screen:
                   a. Select Formula as the row element type.
                   b. Choose
On the Enter Formula screen:
a.     Enter the formula for Row 3. You can either type it in or use your mouse and the formula components buttons. If you type the formula, do not forget the spaces. In this example, Y001 and Y002 represent Revenue and Costs respectively.
b.     To check the correctness of the formula, choose Check.
c.     Choose
On the resulting Text maintenance dialog box:
a.     In Short field, enter the text for the formula field (for example, Gross Marg).
b.     In Medium and Long fields, enter the required text (for example, Gross Margin).
c.     Choose .
You have now defined three rows (Revenue, Costs, and Gross Margin).
Define Columns
Example Task: Defining columns
On the Report Painter: Create Report screen, double-click on the first column, Column 1.

     Choose .
Now you have defined the column 1 for your report.
k.     Back on the Element definition dialog box, choose Confirm.
On the Report Painter: Create Report screen, define column 2 and all other columns you choose to define. You can define these columns either by:
o     Repeating steps for column 1
o     Copying columns
o     Entering a formula that calculates the difference between columns (for example, between Current Year and Prior Year [variable is Pyear] in a column called Variance)
Adding a column or formula is similar to adding a row formula. After defining the rows and the columns, the screen would appear as follows.
General Data Selection
After you define the rows and columns, define the general data selection screen for the report.
Example Task: Defining the general data selection screen for the report
1.     On the Report Painter: Create Report screen, from the menu bar, choose Edit → General data selection.

a.     From the Available characteristics frame, select the fields to add to the general data selection as shown.
b.     Choose to move the selections into the Selected characteristics frame.
c.     Enter the values for each field. (For example, the standard ledger for PCA is 8A to 8E and the U.S. company code in IDES is 3000. This example is a year-to-date report, so all 12 periods are in the range. The standard Version in PCA is 0, the Record type for actual dollars is 0, and CO is 2000).
d.     To check the selections, choose Check.
e.     To create the definition for the general data selection for the report, choose Confirm.
      3.   On the Report Painter: Change Report screen:

o     Settings → Print page format to change the layout of the report output.
5.     To transfer the report to Microsoft Excel or Lotus 123, from the application toolbar, choose .
6.     On the Options dialog box, select the radio button of your choice and choose . Note that for the report to open in Microsoft Excel or Lotus 123, you need to have these applications installed on your PC.
7.     To get back to the original display of the report, select Inactive on the Options dialog box.
Understanding the Report List
After executing a Report Painter report, several additional functions can be applied to the output to make your reports as meaningful as possible. You can:
     Sort on each column.
     Highlight rows that meet the threshold criteria, for example any amount greater than 6,000.
     Drill down from any line item. Drilling down you can access ABAP programs, transaction codes, SAP Queries, drilldown reports, or other Report Painter and Report Writer reports.
     Launch SAP Graphics.
     Send the report through SAP mail.
     Save as an extract to be brought up later.
     Expand and collapse rows.
     Change the layout settings.
     Display the report in Microsoft Excel with office integration.
hope this gives you an idea, and send me an email to [email protected] i will send you a doc on it,
if this was helpful then assign points ..

Changing header in report painter

Hi All,
I have a requirement to change the header(column). I am using the global variable &5PY(Period/Year) in the characterictics value. So it displays an output like 06.2008. But the client needs this to be displayed as June 2008.
Kindly help me out with this.
Regards,
Karthik

In report painter you can select variouselements based on which the data will be pulled. I haven't seen any report painter with two header lines and don't think report painter allows that. But for your requirement I believe you can select the periods in the header line itself.

Report painter object name change during transport

We have a requirement to add 5 fields (In selection screen) to report painter reports ( Reports of CJE3 and GRR3 ).We created Z reports as a copy of standard reports, added required 5 fields by implementing SAP notes and other settings .We have also done implicit enhancements for all these reports to make change in the behavior of new fields .This is working fine in the development client but the problem is once we transport this to Quality system new reports get generated( With new name ) and implicit enhancement will be lost.
For E.g.:
In development client for CJE1/CJE2 report the program name will be "GPAVPSATWFP4NN0YRDBIQBHI8MQ" (In this program we have done implicit enhancement )
but when we transport it to other client new program "GP8O1UCNZTJYY5LTO8GN0UW2GQB" is generated in which implicit enhancements are not found.

Report Painter: How to change the order of lines in selection screen

Dear Gurus on Report Painter,
how can I change the order of the lines (where the values for the variable selection of my cost center report are entered) in the selection screen of a report painter report? The Selection screen looks awful.
Is there also a possibility to add another description to each line of the selection screen?
Thank you very much for your advice.
Best regards Timo

I am afraid you have much choice in choosing the order of the selection parameters. However, with the developer's access you may.
This is how!
Step 1: If it is a standard report, copy to your own report. and assign it to a report group. and execute.
Step 2: When you execute, and the selection appears, go to systems>status and here , copy the program name (it may look something like GP46LP6VEDORBSA2IHWYSR4TL58020)
Step3: Go to SE38 and enter the above derived program name with a view to re-arrange the line withing the program, with reference to selection parameters.
For example: I have a selection screen in the following order:
Controlling area
Fiscal Year
From period
To period
Plan version
Cost center group
Or value(s)
Cost element group
Or value(s)
The corresponding program that drives this order is in the program and would look like this,
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK VALUE_SELECTION
 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-003.
 PARAMETERS: $1KOKRE LIKE CCR1S-KOKRS .
PARAMETERS: %1KOKRE LIKE CCR1S-KOKRS MODIF ID IN4.
 for controlling area
PARAMETERS: $1GJAHR LIKE COSP-GJAHR .
PARAMETERS: %1GJAHR LIKE COSP-GJAHR MODIF ID IN4.
 for fiscal year
PARAMETERS: $1PERIV LIKE COSP-PERBL .
PARAMETERS: %1PERIV LIKE COSP-PERBL MODIF ID IN4.
 for period from
PARAMETERS: $1PERIB LIKE COSP-PERBL .
PARAMETERS: %1PERIB LIKE COSP-PERBL MODIF ID IN4.
 for period to
etc.
PARAMETERS: $1VERP LIKE COSP-VERSN .
PARAMETERS: %1VERP LIKE COSP-VERSN MODIF ID IN4.
PARAMETERS: $1VALUTP LIKE CCR1S-VALUTYP MODIF ID IN4 .
PARAMETERS: %1VALUTP LIKE CCR1S-VALUTYP MODIF ID IN4.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK VALUE_SELECTION.
......... set variables ..............................................
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK SET_SELECTION
 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-004.
PARAMETERS: $1KOSET LIKE RKSB1-KSGRU.
PARAMETERS: %1KOSET LIKE RGSBS-SETNR MODIF ID IN5.
SELECT-OPTIONS _1KOSET FOR CCR1S-KOSTL .
PARAMETERS: $1KSTAR LIKE RKSB1-KAGRU.
PARAMETERS: %1KSTAR LIKE RGSBS-SETNR MODIF ID IN5.
SELECT-OPTIONS _1KSTAR FOR CCR1Z-KSTAR .
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK SET_SELECTION.
If you want fiscal year to appear first, you try just copying the coding relating to fiscal year just above the coding for Controlling area.
Extend the same logic for what you may want to get.
