Hi,
chk this out:
Create Report Categories
In this step, you define the report categories and determine the layout
of the standard selection screen for these report categories. You can
create report categories for programs or queries that are based on the
PNP or PNPCE logical databases.
The definition of report categories is divided into two sections:
o In the Change Report Category view, you define general attributes
such as sort order, input fields for date, and so on.
o In the Change Selection Criteria view, you define which selection
fields of the logical database should be avaliable on the selection
screen.
Example
You want to set up your system so that your employees can only start
evaluation reports for Payroll if they use a payroll area. Within a
payroll area, you should be able to select according to personnel
number. Additional selection criteria should not be possible and you
should not be allowed to enter a sort sequence.
Standard settings
The standard system already contains report categories. You can find the
attributes of the report categories in the table.
Note the following five report categories in particular:
o Report category ' ' is the SAP default report category for
programs that are based on the PNP logical database.
o Report category PNPCE is the SAP default category for programs that
are based on the PNPCE logical database.
o Report category '00000000' is the customer-specific default category
for programs that are based on the PNP logical database.
o Report category '0PNPCE' is the customer-specific default category
for programs that are based on the PNPCE logical database.
o Report category __X2001 is the default category for Queries that
are based on an InfoSet of the PNP LDB.
o Report category QUEPNPCE is the default category for queries that
are based on an InfoSet of the PNPCE LDB.
The default report categories are used when a report is called if
the report has not been assigned a report category.
Parameters and Options for Report Categories of the LDB PNP and PNPCE
Parameters and Options in Screen Area General Data
If you activate this parameter, you can only enter data on the data
selection period if you use reports that have been assigned. The
same date entries are then used for the person selection as for the
date selection.
o Matchcode allowed
If you activate this parameter, you have use of a Matchcode
pushbutton (search help) if you use reports that have been assigned.
This pushbutton enables you to perform the person selection.
o Sort allowed
If you activate this parameter, you have use of a Sort pushbutton if
you use report that have been assigned. This pushbutton enables you
to define a sort order before you execute the report.
o Organizational structure allowed
If you activate this parameter, you have use of an Org.Structure
pushbutton if you use reports that have been assigned. This
pushbutton enables you to perform the person selection.
Note:
For more information about these options, see the online
documentation under this path:
SAP Library -> Human Resources -> Reporting in Human Resources
Management -> Standard HR Reports -> Report Selection Screen in
Human Resources Management.
Parameters and Options in Screen Areas Data Selection Period/Person
Selection Period/Payroll Area/Period/Year
o Options for data selection period and person selection period (key
date and so on)
Here you define which options for date and person selection are
available for reports that have been assigned.
o Options for payroll area/period/year
Here you define which options for selection using payroll
area/period/year are available for reports that have been assigned.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Selection View
o Type/Name
This parameter enables you to use selection views to define report
categories. You use the selection view selected here to determine
which fields are available in the Dynamic Selectionsy.
Note:
You create selection views for the PNP and PNPCE logical databases
in the Object Navigator (SE80):
1. Start the Object Navigator (SE80)
2. Choose Workbench -> Edit Object.
3. Choose the More... tab page and the Selection view on this tab
page.
4. Choose Create.
5. In the Create Selection View dialog box, choose the For any
tables option.
6. In the Name of view field, enter a name for your selection view.
7. In the Tables dialog box, enter the name of the table from which
you want to use fields.
Note:
When you enter the table name, observe the naming convention in
Personnel Administration:
Infotype number: nnnn -> table name: PAnnnn
8. Choose Continue.
9. In the Functional groups area, define functional groups by
assigning a name and a number.
10. Assign fields from the selected tables to the functional groups
by entering the number of the desired functional group in front of
each field.
11. Save your entries.
For more information about adjusting the dynamic selections using
your own selection views, see the online documentation under the
following menu path:
SAP Library -> Human Resources -> Reporting in Human Resources
Management -> HR Standard Reports -> Report Selection Screen in
Human Resources Management -> Enhancing the Selection Screen -
Dynamic Selections.
If you do not want to offer dynamic selections, make the following
settings:
- LDB PNP: In the Selection view field, enter PNP_NO_FREE_SEL.
- LDB PNPCE: Leave the Selection view field empty.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Data Selection Period/Person
Selection Period/Payroll Area/Period/Year
o Available input parameters, date or period entry (today, key date,
all, and so on), and standard value.
Using the Standard value option, you define which of the selected
options is shown.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area CE Selection Fields
o CE selection fields (external person ID, grouping reason, grouping
value)
Using the options in this area, you define whether the external
person Id, grouping reason, or grouping value are available on the
selection screen.
Note:
These parameters are only relevant for you if you implement
Concurrent Employment (see also note 517071).
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Selection view
o Dynamic selections as dialog box
If this switch is set, you can call the dynamic selections as a
dialog box.
o Dynamic selections active
If this switch is set, the dynamic selections of the logical
database are active at the start of the report.
Note that the following combinations are possible for the last two
options mentioned:
Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: inactive/inactive
Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: inactive/active
Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: active/inactive
Activities
1. Choose Edit -> New entries.
2. Enter an abbreviation and a long text for the report category.
The customer name range for report categories is 0-9.
3. Select the For the PNPCE logical database checkbox, if you want to
create a report category for a program or for queries of the PNPCE
logical database.
4. In the General Data screen area, choose the desired options.
If you want to use selection IDs, you must have first created and
grouped selection Ids. The IMG path to do this is given in the
parameter description section.
5. In the Data selection period/person selection period or Selection
period screen area, choose the desired options.
6. In the Selection view screen area, choose the desired options.
7. In the CE selection fields screen area, choose the desired (only
possible for report categories of the LDB PNPCE).
8. Save your entries.
9. Choose the subactivity Permitted selection criteria.
10. Choose Edit -> New entries.
11. In the Select option field, use the input help to select each field
that should be available on the selection screen.
12. Select the checkbox in the 1.page column, if you want this selection
field to be available directly when you call the selection screen.
Further notes
13. If you want to copy entries, you still have to enter the selection
parameters again in the subsequent screen.
o If you create the report category '000000000', a selection screen is
generated according to report category '00000000'for all reports for
which a report category has not explicitly been assigned.
Assign Report Categories
In this step, you assign a report category to your reports.
Example
You have created your own report, for example ZPCTEST1, and would like
it to have the selection screen that corresponds to that of the
evaluation report for Payroll, which is assigned to report category
'__M00001'.
Assign report category '__M00001' to the report.
Requirements
You must have defined the Report Categories.
Standard settings
SAP Standard Reports:
In the standard system, reports are assigned a report category. If you
want to override these assignments, perform the activities described
here. If you want to assign report categories to standard reports using
SE38, this represents a modification.
Customer-Specific Reports:
For reports you have developed yourself, you can either assign report
categories by performing the activities described here or directly in SE38.
Recommendation
Only assign a report category if you have created your own reports or if
the selection screens in the standard system do not meet your
requirements.
Activities
1. Choose Edit -> New entries.
2. Perform the required assignment using the Program name and Report
category fields.
3. Save your entries.

Hi Ujjwala,
In the<b> atribute</b>s window of report after u give the LDB name in the window there, and press enter to save, u will get a <b>button named "Report Category"</b> below there.
Press it, give any name that u want to give to ur report category and click <b>CREATE</b>.
in this category u can <b>choose the fields that u want to display on the selection screen</b>.
<b>Report Category Determines the Default auto generated selection screen of the LDB PNP.</b>
<b>moreover </b>u can define your own selection screen fields as well in your program just as we do in any report using Select-options and Parameters Statements.
these fields will b dispalyed <b>below </b>the standard fields on selection screen.
so in Report category if you have not selected any field to b there on Selection screen just those fields will b there on selection screen which u define in the program,
Hope this helps,
<b>Reward the answer with points if Helpful,</b>
