 SAP AG CSU Chico Report Painter: More Advanced concepts Objectives: Exploding Rows Creating Libraries Creating Models Adding Text and other Layout Features Performing Calculations Finishing up Report Painter

 SAP AG CSU Chico Exploding Rows Occurs when you have a Row Value that consists of more values Example: Cost Center Codes could be split out to individual codes or collapsed Default is to NOT explode To change this default: Edit --> Rows --> Explode

 SAP AG CSU Chico Group 1 Group 2 Total Cost element group Actual Plan Var. Total Cost elements * Group * Group 2 ** Total Cost elements Actual Plan Var Explode Do not explode Single values Exploding Report Rows

 SAP AG CSU Chico Report Painter: Creating New Libraries Library defines what objects (attributes of objects) can be included in it’s reports Defines Selected: Characteristics (attributes that are key fields) Key Figures (types of “measures” or values -- typically numeric) Pre-Defined Columns  Defined by SAP  Consist of Key Figures and Characteristics  Can Define Your own

 SAP AG CSU Chico A library contains: - Characteristics - Key figures - Predefined columns Criteria for selecting data records (cost element, version...) Value fields in selected data records Combinations of characteristics and key figures - content-related reports Library Report group C Report group B Report group A

 SAP AG CSU Chico Report Painter: Creating New Libraries Report Painter --> Report Writer --> Library --> Change Copy and then Modify (Add and Delete attributes) Create: Creates a custom library for your reports Create a Library for your Reports Report Painter --> Report Writer --> Library --> Create Start name with a Z Display Existing Libraries: Report Painter --> Report Writer --> Library --> Display --> Utilities -- > Catalog

 SAP AG CSU Chico Report Painter: Models Model = Template Sets of Rows OR Columns You May Want to Re-use Models are Static: If you Change a Model you Must Change All Reports That Use the Model OR Have Reports with Different Versions of the Model Report Painter --> Model --> Create Use for column Definition: Within Report Definition: Edit --> Columns --> Get Column Model Edit Rows -- > Get Row Model (for Rows)

 SAP AG CSU Chico Using Variables in Report Painter Variable: Defined Parameter that Users fill in at Run Time Year, Starting Period and Ending Period, etc. for the Data Types of Variables: Value: single Value such as Controlling Area, Company Code, Work Center, Plant, etc. Formula: Rolling Periods or Previous June with This June Set: Set up groups that corresponds to the way the data are structured. For example, Groups in CO can be used as a Set Parameter  Find parameter ID through technical info in field definition

 SAP AG CSU Chico Value Variables Variable 1PERIV Field name PERBL Default value 1 Description from period Table CCSS Use parameter ID Entry: Characteristic values to 1PERIB Cost center: to or group 1KOSET Controlling area: 001 Fiscal year: 1996 to Period: 1PERIV

 SAP AG CSU Chico MILLER 1. Current year? 2. Previous year? Default values from the system Formula variable 1GJAHLJ: System exit that determines the current fiscal year from the controlling area and the fiscal year variant. Formula variable 1GJAHVJ: Internal variable that determines the previous year 1GJAHVJ = 1GJAHLJ - 1 1GJAHVJ = 1GJAHLJ - 1 Formula Variables

 SAP AG CSU Chico Variables for Groups (Set Variables) Variable 1KOSET Field name KOSTL Reference set 1-S-KOSTL-AL Description Cost center group Table CCSS Entry: Characteristic values Controlling area: 0001 Fiscal year: 1996 to Period: 1PERIV to 1PERIB Cost center: to or group 1KOSET

 SAP AG CSU Chico Adding Blocks and Sections Block: Columns that are grouped together Example: Sales report in $ by Product vs Quantity by Product Row Structure is identical for all column blocks Menu Path: Go To --> New Column Block Section: Rows that are grouped together Example: Planned and Actual Costs by Cost Center and by Product Group Column Structure is identical for all row blocks Menu Path: Go To --> New Section

 SAP AG CSU Chico Cost elements Actual Plan Var : Activity types Actual Plan Var. Direct labor hours Direct repair hours : Stat. key figures Actual Plan Employee Telephone costs : Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Sections Example

 SAP AG CSU Chico Adding Text to a Report Types of Text Title page Header (top of every page) Footer (foot of every page) Last Page Entering Text Menu Path: Extras --> Report Text Enter directly Can also use variables, parameters, characteristics, etc.

 SAP AG CSU Chico Standard variables for example Report name Page number Date of selection Author of report Library description Selection parameters for example From period (value) To period (value) Fiscal year (value).... Characteristics for example Controlling area Cost center Special variables for example, person responsible for the cost center Report name: Page: From period: To period: From period: To period: Fiscal year : Fiscal year : Cost center: Cost center: Person responsible: Entering Text

 SAP AG CSU Chico Standard Layouts Standard layouts used in many companies so all reports have same look and feel Basically a Corporate Template for reports Define a Standard in layouts Menu Path: Report Writer --> Standard layout --> Create Attach a layout to a report by displaying it -- this is used for the report you are working on Defaults provided by SAP (see drop down list)

 SAP AG CSU Chico Additional Considerations Variation: Allows you to run the same report at detail or summary level determined at run time Define the Variation function in Report Definition under General Data Selection At Run time push variation button and select the desired variation level Execute the Report Group Multiple Selection: Run the same report but separate every time by variable, I.e. Cost Center

 SAP AG CSU Chico Multiple Selection Example Reports to be output CoArea 0001 FYear 1992 CoArea 0001 FYear 1993 CoArea 0002 FYear 1992 CoArea 0002 FYear combinations CoArea from 0001 to 0002 (or set) FYear from 1992 to 1993 (or set)
