Drill Down Reporting in SAP FI

In this article I will introduce
some basic FI reporting
capabilities. For example,
Accounts
Receivables
provides several out-of-the-box
reports for Balance and Line
Item Analysis. These reports
can be accessed by using
transaction code FDI0, see
Figure 1.
By running the due data
analysis report you will obtain
the report as displayed in
Figure 2.

Drill Reporting

At this point you have several options: (1) drill down to the customer
line item report, (2) change the leading column on the report and (3)
filter and sort. To drill down to the customer line item report you place
the mouse pointer on the cell you wish to drill down on and then press
the call up report button, see Figure 3. This will bring up the customer
line items report

in FI, tcodes:

Drilling Down to the Line Item Report

Another feature of this report is the ability to display the data by the
different characteristics of the report. These are the values that appear
on the upper left hand part of the report, in our case, they include:
Document Type, Company Code, Country and Posting Key. For
example, if I would like to display the receivables by country, I press
the customer field which changes color to orange and the press the
country key which will switch the summarization of the report between
customer and country. On the next page I will explain how to do this.

Changing
Report Defaults

To change the selection characteristics of the report you can change the
report. While selecting the report, select,
Drilldown
report, change from the drop down menu. This will bring up a screen
that allows you to change characteristics, output type and additional
options. Note that you should do this on your Z version of the report. See
Figure 6. On the left you will see the existing characteristics and on the
right the available ones. For example, we can add Acctg Clerk to the
report if we wish to track receivables by this characteristic.

Changing Report Defaults

There are many other settings that can be made in this report change
area. I have just demonstrated a small part of the options and you will
need to experiment with the rest. Note that there is also the option of
creating your own report layouts but this topic is out of the scope of this
article.
