Special Features In The Definition Of Cost Element Reports For Projects

Use

Defining project reports requires several special settings.

Note

Define project reports using the OBJNR characteristic, not PSPID or POSID.

When you define a project report, use the group variable for the OBJNR characteristic (such as, 6-OBJNR) in the general selections or in the report rows. Project reports defined in this way automatically receive a selection screen. This screen is extended with the logical database functions for projects (such as, dynamic selections, database profiles, and so on).

When you run a project report, the system selects the project hierarchy via the logical database for the project system. It then transfers this to the group variable for the OBJNR characteristic used in the report. Therefore, the system does not create an entry field in the selection screen for this variable.
To be able to go from a project report to the corresponding line items, you need to include the RKPEP000 report in the report-report interface for the corresponding project report.

You can also display actual line items for WBS elements. Choose the CJ62 transaction for this. The system provides you with all the functions of the line item report.

Prerequisites

You need to enter "PS" in the library used, under Header -> Component ID. You can use this library (for example, GP3) for project reports.

You can also activate the OBJNR characteristic in the library used.

Result

When you run a project report, the system selects the project hierarchy via the logical database for the project system. It then transfers this to the group variable for the OBJNR characteristic used in the report. Therefore, the system does not create an entry field in the selection screen for this variable.
