Report Painter is a tool in SAP for creating reports without requiring ABAP knowledge. It offers most of the functionality of Report Writer but is easier to use. It uses predefined reporting tables and libraries to select and structure data. Reports are created by defining rows, columns, and formulas. To create a custom transaction code for a Report Painter report, one can use transaction SE93 to create a parameter transaction with a descriptive name and select 'Skip Initial Screen'. This article will further outline the steps to assign a T-code to the Report Painter.

What You'll Learn
Create a custom transaction code
To create a custom transaction code for a Report Painter report, you can follow these steps:
Firstly, use transaction SE93 to create a parameter transaction with a descriptive name. You can select 'Skip Initial Screen' and enter a meaningful short name for the transaction code, which will be displayed as text in the SAP menu favourites. Choose 'Transaction with parameters' and press Enter.
Next, map the transaction to the necessary objects like S_Program using transaction SU24. You can then enter START_REPORT in the Transaction field and press Enter. Select the Skip initial screen and Inherit GUI attributes checkboxes.
Now, add required values like the report type, name, and library. You can enter RW for the report type and your report group as the report value. Ensure that users can run the report without errors from a security perspective.
Finally, transport the transaction code to production for end users via the standard SAP transport process. You can save your transaction and transport it to other systems.

Map the transaction to objects
To assign a T-code to the Report Painter in SAP, you must first create a custom transaction code for a Report Painter report. This can be done by using transaction SE93 to create a parameter transaction with a descriptive name and selecting 'Skip Initial Screen'.
Now, you can map the transaction to the necessary objects. This is done using transaction SU24. The object S_Program should be mapped to the transaction you have created. The authorization group is the name of the Library with the prefix of RW_. You can find out the library via the report group or by running a trace.
It is important to note that creating the transaction code with the SAP-generated program name of the Report Painter report is a common mistake. This can cause problems when the user tries to execute the program. Instead, creating a Parameter Transaction and mapping it to the necessary objects in SU24 ensures that you won't encounter any authorization issues when running the reports.
Once you have identified the objects and values, you can map the object to the transaction with transaction SU24, adding all the objects needed to run the report.

Add required values
To add the required values, you need to follow the steps outlined below.
Firstly, create a transaction code using SE93, with a descriptive name, and select 'Skip Initial Screen'. Next, map the transaction to the necessary objects, such as S_Program, using SU24.
Now, you can add the required values. This includes the report type, name, and library. The report type should be RW, and the report group should be your chosen group, for example, ZCC8. You can also enter the report name, which is optional. These values ensure the report can be run without errors and from a security standpoint.
You can also define the rows and columns of your report, along with any formulas you wish to include. You can use predefined key figures or create your own combinations. For instance, you can select 'Actual Costs in the current year' as a predefined option, and the basic key figure and characteristics will be filled in automatically.
Once you have added all the required values, you can save your transaction and transport it to other systems using the standard SAP transport process.

Transport the transaction code
Transporting a transaction code to production for end users is the final step in creating a custom transaction code for a Report Painter report. This process can be completed using the standard SAP transport process.
Before transporting the transaction code, there are several steps to follow. Firstly, use transaction SE93 to create a parameter transaction with a descriptive name and select 'Skip Initial Screen'. Next, map the transaction to the necessary objects, such as S_Program, using transaction SU24. It is also important to add required values, such as the report type, name, and library, to ensure users can run the report without errors from a security perspective.
Once these steps have been completed, you can transport the transaction code to other systems. It is recommended to refer to the developer's guide and other SAP documentation for detailed instructions on creating and transporting transaction codes for Report Painter reports.

Use predefined reporting tables
Report Painter is a tool in SAP for creating reports without requiring ABAP knowledge. It uses predefined reporting tables and libraries to select and structure data. Reports are created by defining rows, columns, and formulas.
When using Report Painter, you first need to enter a library. You can use the search help (F4) and open the library view to explore the available libraries. Libraries that begin with a number are SAP standard libraries, and they contain reporting tables. A reporting table contains characteristics and key figures that can be used in reports. Characteristics are elements that will be used in the report rows, columns, and selections, such as cost centres, cost elements, and profit centres. Key figures are numerical value fields, such as actual costs or quantities.
You can use an existing library or create your own. When creating a new library, start the name with Y or Z. You can then create the required libraries, variables, rows, and column models using the table view before generating the reports.
SAP standard cost centre reports are in library 1VK, and its reporting table is CCSS. Other commonly used reporting tables include RPSCO, a TOTAL/PERIOD table for project reporting, and RWCOOM, a reporting table for overhead cost controlling.
