SAP Note 27214 - Compatibility of reports in reporting

Symptom:

When including a new, possibly user-defined Report Writer report into the user's list, it is indeed included in the list but the indicator "not compatible" appears after the report group.
The indicator states that the entered report cannot be executed with the standard interface of the report selection.
This occurs, for example, if the report does not contain a variable for the report object. In Profit Center Accounting, for instance, the indicator is set if the corresponding report does not contain a variable for profit center but the profit centers are linked in the report.
Nevertheless, the report can still be executed with the help of the report selection in the respective application; it is then processed with the standard request screen of the Report Writer. In this case, no report functionality is lost as compared to the common user interface.

Cause and prerequisites
Solution

If you are willing to do without the functionality of the standard interface, you can copy your report without any changes into the report list.
However, should you want the new functionality of the standard interface for your report, you should check whether you can adapt the report definition to the requirements stated below.

Criteria for the compatibility of Report Writer reports for the standard interface for the report selection:

• The report was created for table GLPCT.

• A maximum of 2 value variables are used for the dimension Planned or Fixed price version (RVERS).

• A maximum of 4 value variables may be used for the dimension period (RPMAX) in the report.

• A maximum of 4 variables may be used for the dimension Fiscal year (RYEAR).

• Either 1 value variable must exist for the dimension Controlling area (KOKRS) or one variable for the company code (RBUKRS).

• The dimension Profit center (RPRCTR) must be used in the report. However, there may only be a maximum of two set variables for this.

• The same applies for the dimension Revenue/cost element for which also only a maximum of two set variables (RACCT) may exist.
