Question Re: Report Format and Type in Financial Management Q&A

Report Format and Type

carljschmidt — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 11:47:37 GMT

Hi,

I was about to run the function module GRAC_IDM_RISK_WOUT_NO_SERVICE and I have had some issues with the import parameter REPORT_TYPE, which should be of type GRAC_String.
From NWBC I am aware that there are four different types of reports:

Summary,
Detail,
Management Summary and
Executive Summary.

When using "Summary" for REPORT_TYPE I get an error, and only by debugging the function module I realized, that the function module actually expects REPORT_TYPE to be a numeric value.

So I am assuming that the numbering goes as follows 01 - Summary, ... 04 - Executive Summary, but I couldn't find any reference to verify this assumption.

I also assume that the same (numbers instead of qualified names) )applies for REPORT_FORMAT which I leave blank for now due to not knowing the respective numbers and options here.

I would be very grateful, if you could help me to find the desired information or point me to some table or external reference, that provides useful information.

Hi Carl,

I was looking for a reference too couple weeks ago. I found that in ABAP code, the variable: iv_report_format is important and it belongs to domain GRAC_SOD_REPFORMAT:

Later in the code you can find both values 01 and 1 are correct.

I hope this helps! Good luck,
Filip

Report type is a different story:)

For the first part of your question. This is part of GRAC_SOD_REPTYPE domain:)

Hope this help,

Thanks

Filip
