Structure Report Selection

To find the standard reports delivered with the system, go to the application menus for the different Treasury areas (Cash Management, Cash Budget Management, Money Market, Foreign Exchange, Securities, Derivatives, Loans, Market Risk Management ) and select the Treasury Information System.

In this IMG activity, you can edit these report structures or define new ones. To allow the user to call up the reports from the application menu, the report structures must be assigned to the area menu structures.

Technically, the structures for the reports and the area menus are the same, and you define and edit both using the same function (Area Menu Maintenance ). This Customizing step therefore takes you to the initial screen for area menu maintenance. (To distinguish between the different uses, we have used the terms "area menu" and "report structure" in this documentation.)

The following report structures are delivered with the area menus for the Treasury applications:

Area Area Menu Report Structure
Cash Management TDMN TRTC
Cash Budget Management TFMN FMCB
Money Market TMMN TRTG
Foreign Exchange TXMN TRTV
Securities FWMY TRTW
Derivatives TIMN TRTR
Loans FNME TRTD
Information System FZM4 TRMA
Market Risk Management TVM1 TRTM

If you require a company-specific report structure for a particular area, you first define the new structure and then assign it to the area menu structure (see below under Links to submenus ).

Activities

When you access area menu maintenance from the IMG step Structure Report Selection , the system displays the name of the report structure for the respective area in the Area menu field.

From here, you can edit this (or a different) structure, or create a new structure.

a) Choose the required structure from the favorites list or using F4 help (only necessary if you want to edit a different structure to the one displayed).
b) Choose Change area menu. The Edit area menu screen appears. From here, you can add new entries or change, delete or reassign existing entries.
c) New menu entries:
To make new menu entries, position the cursor on an existing menu item and choose Edit -> Insert menu entry -> Insert as subnode / Insert on same level.
A dialog box appears in which you can make the following types of entry:
Folders: To add new folders you merely need to enter a text. The system interprets the entry automatically as a folder.
Transactions: To insert transactions, enter the transaction code next to the text.
Reports: To assign a report to the menu, choose the Report... pushbutton (Add report ). A dialog box appears for choosing the report. Select the relevant radio button under Report type . The corresponding entry fields for the report type appear.
When you exit the dialog, The system generates a transaction code for the report selected. You must specify the corresponding development class and transport request.
If a transaction code already exists for the selected report, it is copied.
If you want to specify the transaction code for the report yourself, choose Display other options . Two additional entry fields appear, in which you can enter the transaction code and the corresponding descriptive text. You must also deactivate the checkboxes Generate automatically and Adopt report description.
Links to submenus:
In an area menu, you can create links to other area menus (for example to the report structures). In this way, you can compile a menu made of several submenus.
Select the checkbox for menu references. Instead of a transaction code, you now enter a menu name or choose one using F4 help.
a) Changing existing menu entries:
Select the relevant entry and choose Edit -> Change entry. A dialog box appears in which you can modify the entry. In some cases, you have the option of changing the type of entry as well as the content. To do this choose the pushbuttons As transaction or As folder. The following changes can be made:
Current type Can be changed to Prerequisite
Folder Transaction code Folder must be empty
Transaction code Folder
b) Deleting existing menu entries:
To delete a menu entry, select the entry by choosing Edit -> Change entry -> Select/deselect and then choose Edit -> Change entry -> Delete.
c) Reassigning existing menu entries:
To move one or several entries to a different place in the menu, select the entry by choosing Edit -> Change entry -> Select/deselect and then select the position to which you want the entry to be moved by choosing Edit -> Change entry -> Reassign. In the dialog box, specify whether the entry should be inserted at the same level as the selected item or one level lower down.
To create a new menu, enter the short name for the new structure and choose Area menu -> Create . In the dialog box, enter the long name for the structure. The editing screen appears.
The rest of the procedure is described above under Editing an existing structure.
If you want this structure to appear in an application area, you must create a reference to the new menu in the corresponding area menu.
