COPA Report: Multiple selection

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I want to have a profit center as a multiple selection to be given as an input in KE30 report. That means user should be able to execute the report based on the selection of the profit center in the entry screen

For the same I created a global variable and following are the details fo the same

Appl. class        KE

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Type of variable           Characteristics Value

Variable Name            &PCT

Field Name                PRCTR

Replacement type      Entry

Optional entry           Optional entry

Parameter/selectopt. Select option

Short text                  Profit Ctr

Description               Profit Center

Text                         Profit Center

I have created Form for the report based on the line item (Tcode KE94). If I want to use this global variable "&PCT" in the "General Data selection" tab  in the Form,the characteristic Profit center is not available for selection from the field catlog. Profit center is one of the characteristic in the operating concern.But this is available for the Navigation in KE30 report. I deselected Profit center from the Nevigation in KE32 but still I am not able to make it available for selection in "General data Selection" tab in Form.

What is the relevance of Variable On/OFF in KE30 report? How to make this Global variable available to be used in "General data selection" tab in the Form?

Will you please help me out?

Hi Markrand,

I am little confused...if you are using KE94 for Form Creation...why are you using kE3* for report Creation (Not that it will make the Profit Center Vanish).

Variable On/Off means that you do not want to hard code(Correct word would be to restrict) it and are willing to enter it at the time of execution...this options makes it more flexible...

Coming to Profit Center not coming when you select Variable on/off ..can you share the screen shot.

Best Regards

Surya

Dear Makrand,

Please look into the following:

I brought profit center in selection criterion:

For this I have changed my Form T Code:  KE35:

General Data Selection :

Included Profit center along with the controlling Area.

Then I changed my report:

KE30:

Variables Tab:

Givn Profit center as entry at execution.

Hope this will helps you......

Hi Pavan,

Thanks for the reply. I created  new form and the same form attached to the new report i created. In this newly created form I could select the Profit center in the general data selection tab which resulted in allowing me to give a range of profit centers while executing report in KE30 tcode.

The problem which I am facing is, in my existing forms, system is not showing the profit center characteristics to be selected in General data selection tab.

Following is the screen shot of what I want to have in my existing reports.

Hi Surya,

Thanks for the reply. I have shared a screen shot in reply to Mr.Pavan as to what should be the selection parameters while executing a COPA report with KE30 Tcode.

I created a new form wherein I could select the Profit center as a characteristics in the general data selection tab. This is not possible for my existing reports. I mean the characteristic Profit center is not available for selection to be included in General data selection tab.

Hi Makrand,

You need to create a global varialbe for the characteristic Profit center in tc. KE3E and choose Selct option. This global variable should then be assigned to your characteristic in your report allowing for multple selection options on your selction screen.
