Creating a Key Figure Report with Constants  

  1. Choose the step "Create, change, display report" in the General Ledger Accounting Implementation Guide.
  2. Enter the report type "Balance sheet ratios" and then (on the next screen) a technical name for the report.

    3. SAP provides standard reports which you can use as a basis for defining your own reports. The name range for these predefined reports is 0SAPRATIO-01 to 0SAPRATIO-NN. You can not use names within this range for your own reports.

  3. Choose Drill-down report ® Create.
  4. On the next screen, enter a name for your report and specify the form which you want to use as a basis for defining the contents and structure of your report. Select "Create" again.

    5. A screen headed Create Balance Sheet Report: Variables appears. Here you will find a list for valuation containing all variables which are defined in the forms. In the case of a key figure report only the variable fiscal year is displayed.

    When defining the report you can determine, per variable, whether the variable is to be ready for input when the report is executed. To do this, mark the Enter at execution option. Leave the field "Variable value" blank. In the G/L reports within Financial Accounting you have the possibility of determining the variables and characteristics directly at the time of execution.

  5. The drill-down characteristics (which you define yourself) allow you to navigate freely through your report. You define the drill-down characteristics for your report via Goto ® Characteristics. To determine the sequence of the characteristics, choose Sort characteristics.

    6. The values for the characteristics (e.g. which company code, which business area etc.) are also determined at the time the report is executed. Do not choose Characteristic values.

  6. Save your report.
