To find the standard reports delivered with the SAP System, go to the Information System node in the application menus for the different areas (Cash Management, Cash Budget Management; Corporate Finance Management -> Transaction Manager: Money Market, Foreign Exchange, Securities, Derivatives) and to the Transaction Manager 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 various areas:

Area        Area Menu    Report Structure

Treasury:

Cash Management        TDMN    TRTC

Cash Budget Management        TFMN    FMCB

Corporate Finance Management:

Money Market        TMMN    TRTG

Foreign Exchange        TXMN    TRTV

Securities        FWMY    TRTW

Derivatives        TIMN    TRTR

Information System        FZM4    TRMA

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 IMG activity 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.

  • Editing an existing structure:
    1. 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).
    2. Choose Change area menu. The Edit area menu screen appears. From here, you can add new entries or change, delete or reassign existing entries.
    3. New menu entries:
      4. 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.
    4. Changing existing menu entries:
      5. 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   

  1. Deleting existing menu entries:
    2. To delete a menu entry, select the entry by choosing Edit -> Change entry -> Select/deselect and then choose Edit -> Change entry -> Delete.
  2. Reassigning existing menu entries:
    3. 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.

  • Creating a new structure:

    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.

Further notes

BC - Basis Components -> ABAP Workbench (BC-DWB) -> BC - ABAP Workbench Tools -> ABAP Workbench: Tools -> Menu Painter -> Area Menus: Customizing the SAP Menu Bar -> Area Menu Maintenance from Release 4.6A.

You can also call up this documentation by choosing Application Help from the area menu maintenance screen.
