    The key takeaways are that Report Painter can be used to create analytical reports from the ACDOCT table in S/4HANA Finance, with some limitations for appendix ledgers. It allows for quick report design without ABAP help.

    Some of the main reporting tools provided by SAP are Report Writer/Report Painter, Drilldown Reporting, and SAP Query.

    Some key steps to create a report using Report Painter are to determine the data table, find or create a library, create sets, create variables, and then create the report.

    S/4 Why not use Report Painter with


    ACDOCT table

    ByJohannes LeRoux

    Working on multiple S/4 project and having struggled


    with the analytics teams to provide reporting from BI, Imbedded BPC etc
    to support Cost Center managers, Finance teams and controllers
    providing real-time data and the flexibility to have supplement standard
    SAP reporting. I started to exploring reports in Simple Finance, create a
    Report Painter Report using the totals table ACDOCT.

    Unlike GLT0, FAGLFLEXT or Special Purpose Ledger Summary table, this


    is not a transparent table but a DDL SQL View. As the library has the
    table ACDOCT already listed in as a structure in report painter I creating
    a report group and report using ACDOCT. For Leading Ledger 0L the
    data seems to work well and the summarized values are very much in
    sync with ACDOCA (Universal Journal Line items) table

    Limitations:
    In Simple finance SAP introduces the Appendix ledger (extension ledger)
    this is mainly for posting adjustment entriesin ACDOCA table. Therefore
    the appendix ledgers are not allowed in Report painter because the data
    is stored in ACDOCA table.The report painter only displays values for
    The LEADING ledger and not for non leadingledgeror the Appendix
    ledger.

    Report creation:
    As the report painter seems to work pretty well with the leading ledger,
    it is easy to create useful reports quicklyto support:
    Financial reporting requirement varies as per local accounting
    practices and GAAPS. In order to cope with these requirements
    report painter let us design reports like
    1. Profit & Loss Drilldown report

    2. Profit center group Profit & Loss Profit & Loss

    Report painter is an excellent reporting tool that is equipped with


    useful features, which can help us in designing analytical reports
    quickly without ABAP help.

    SAP Reporting Tools


    The Reporting tools provided by SAP are

    Report Writer/Report Painter is used to create currency and


    quantity reports primarily from the financial application area of SAP.

    Drilldown Reporting is an interactive type of reporting that allows a


    user to analyze data from several applications. It is used primarily in
    Profitability Analysis, Executive Information System, General Ledger
    and Project Systems.

    Overview
    Report Painter and Report Writer are some of the many reporting tools
    provided by SAP to meet a business needs for customized reports. They
    are used to create both currency and quantity-type reports such as
    financial statements, sales reports, and inventory reports and can report
    on data from multiple applications. Reports are defined on a form that
    displays the rows and columns as they appear in the report output.
    Report Painter is easy to use and covers approximately 90% of Report
    Writers functionality. Report Painter adds an easy-to-use graphical
    interface to the core functionality of Report Writer.

    Gross Profit & Loss Report creation using Report Painter

    Below is the basic step to start creating a report

    Step 1:Determine the table


    Before a report can be created, an SAP table must be selected as the
    appropriate source of information. In this example, we will use the table
    ACDOCT in S/4 simple Finance

    Step 2: Find the library


    Select the library that contains the table required for the report. SAP
    contains libraries for all applications. The user has the flexibility to use
    an existing library or to create a new library. (Note: In for Simple Finance,
    the user must create a new library from the ACDOCT table.)

    To create a library, choose the following Menu Path: Information


    Systems> Ad Hoc Reports> Report Painter> Report Writer >
    Library > Create (T-CODE GR21)
    Enter a description for the Library and click on the Characteristic
    button

    Note What I saw when I created the library surprised me that all
    the COPA/ACDOCA field/Characteristic was available.

    Step 3: Create Sets


    Sets are used in many components and subcomponents of the SAP
    system (such as reporting, planning, and currency translation). Before
    you create sets, you must decide how you want to use the sets to meet
    your REPORTNIG requirements. It is important OUTLINE the report and
    the define your set structures and which values you want to include in
    the sets.

    Create sets or use existing sets by following Menu Path:


    Information Systems> Ad Hoc Reports> Report Painter> Report
    Writer> Set> Create T-codes (GS01,GS02,GS03)

    We create basic set ZSALES-RB for field RACCT

    Choose Enter to Continue.

    Enter the values for the Account Number and a description for the
    set.

    Save the set.

    Similarly, Create the following Basic Sets

    Step 4: Create Variables

    Menu Path: Information Systems> Ad Hoc Reports> Report Painter>


    Report Writer> Variables> Create T-CODES (GS11, GS12 ,GS13)
    A variable is a placeholder for data to be specified when you run a
    report that uses the variable. Variables are used in many areas, for
    example in reporting (Report Painter / Report Writer). For
    example, a variable could be a company, the current year, the
    current month, a date, or a user name.

    Create Variables only if you cannot find a predefined variable for


    any fields that must be entered before the report is executed or
    use existing sets. This is similar to creation of a set.

    Step 5: Create Report

    Menu Path: Information Systems> Ad Hoc Reports> Report


    Painter> Report> CreatE

    1. In the library, enter the name of the library,

    2. In the report field enter the name of the report and a short
    description

    3. Choose Create
