Run SAPgui Summary Statements for a series of non-consecutive accounts
- Create a text file with a list of the cost objects:
(you only have to do this once; if you save the file you can re-use it each time you run your statements)- Open up Text Edit (mac) or Notepad (PC)
- Type in each of your cost objects, separated by carriage returns (i.e., one per line). for example:\\1637700\\1637400
1637701 - If you're using a mac, go to the Format menu, and choose Make Plain Text
(if it asks you to confirm, click OK) - Go to File > Save.
- Choose where you would like to save the file, give it a name, and click OK or Save
(Note: it's best to keep the name short, and avoid spaces or special characters. Ex: costobjects.txt is a good choice. "cost objects (for running summary statements).txt" might cause problems)
- Run the summary statement:
(this part will be repeated each time)- Launch SAPgui, and go to the Summary Statement entry form
- Enter in your desired criteria (date range, etc.)
- Click on the yellow -> arrow next to "Cost Object (unknown type)"
- Click on the import from text file button. On my screen this is the third from the right, and looks like a little green file in a talking bubble. (If you have trouble finding it, let me know, and I'll send a screen shot.)
- Navigate to your text file, select it, and click Open
- Click the button with the clock and green checkmark to save your changes (this will take you back to the main report entry screen)
- Click the button with the clock and green checkmark to run your report.
Result: You should now see a series of summary statements, one after another.
