Settings (SAP Library - Information System (CO-OM))

Settings

Use

Choose Settings to determine the parameters for structuring your report and the texts within it.

Features

Layout

Choose Settings ® Layout to set page format and display parameters.

Layout parameters which you can edit online are ready for data entry; those that cannot be edited online are not ready for entry. You can only set the latter during report definition.

Texts

Choose Settings ® Texts to configure title pages, end pages, headers, and footers, to create text for exports, and to access word processing functions (see: Report Texts).

Note

You can change report texts in an executed report only if you use a standard layout in report definition with the Changes allowed during execution indicator activated under Page/Control. You cannot change report texts in standard reports.

Graphic Column Text

If your report contains several levels of header text in the columns, you can define the way the text appears in graphic displays by choosing Graphic column text.

Displaying Format Classes

You can display the format classes for report column assignments in the first report row. Format classes combine columns with the same decimal place, scale, and column width characteristics. You can define up to six different classes per report.

Example

The Actual Costs, Plan Costs and absolute Variance report columns are grouped into one format class. The following parameters are specified for the first format class, which you can also change by choosing Settings ® Layout:

Decimal Places: 3
Scale: 3
Column Width: 15

The column Percentage variance is differentiated by a second, separate format class:

Decimal Places: 2
Scale: 0
Column Width: 4
Report/Report Interface

If you use a standard layout in report definition with the Changes allowed during execution indicator activated under Page/Control, you can determine which receiver reports can be called up from the released report.
