In this activity you can define a report tree, a hierarchy containing all the EC-PCA reports you want to make available to your users. The standard tree PCA1 for Profit Center Accounting is delivered with the SAP system.

You can also create individual report trees for each user to adapt it to his or her needs.

You can access detailed information on report trees from the maintenance transaction under Utilities -> Online manual.

You can use the following report types in a report tree:

  • ABAP/4 reports
  • Report Writer reports (RW)
  • Transactions
  • Report portfolio reports (BB)
  • Drill-down reports (RE)

You can add SAP standard reports as well as your own reports to the report tree.

Using the function "Extras -> Control", you can decide whether the individual reports in the tree should be displayed in a dialog box or on a separate screen.

Instead of using the report tree, you can also make the standard and user-defined reports available to users in the form of a report list. The report list is a sorted, non-hierarchical list of reports. The chapter Report list in Customizing explains how to maintain report lists.

If you want to use this simpler method of listing reports, set the standard report tree PCA1 to "Inactive".

Example

The top node of the report tree is called "Profit Center Accounting". It is broken down into the following nodes:

  • Reports for profit center groups
  • General profit center reports
  • Reports by revenue/cost element
  • Profitability reports
  • Line item reports
  • Additional reports

You can divide these nodes even further if you like.

The reports are assigned to the end nodes. When you choose a master data report, the system takes you to a transaction. When you choose a standard report, the system takes you to a report group in the Report Writer.

This is regardless of whether the reports you call up are contained in the standard system or if you wrote them yourself.

Prerequisites

First the reports you want to store in the report tree must be generated.

Standard settings

The standard reports for Profit Center Accounting are found in the report tree "PCA1". You should not change this report tree. If desired, create your own report trees.

Recommendation

To afford yourself a better overview, SAP recommends that you create separate nodes in the report tree for each work area.

Actions

Maintain the report trees according to your needs. Remove the reports which you do not want your users to use, and add your own reports.

You can deactivate the report tree for all applications for individual users by setting the user parameter "KBT" to "X" for those users.

Further notes

If you use the report tree, it is recommended that you place all the Report Writer reports (or at least those most frequently used) in the report list in your client as well. This improves system performance.

For more information, see Utilities -> Online manual on the screen where you maintain the report tree.
