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.

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.

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.
