Varient creation for actual finish date OR actual start date in specified range in COOISPI

[Former Member]

I am utilizing the reporting function in t-code COOISPI. I'm working within the Operations drop down.

My goal is to formulate a variant to look for process orders which have an "actual start date" between two dates OR have a "actual finish date" between the same two dates.

In my business I need to know what was started as well as what was delivered for a date range.

It appears when I enter values into both the actual start and actual finish  it makes the requirement that they be started AND finished in that window which is not the information I'm trying to obtain.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Most standard reports by SAP have AND operator between selection fields in reports, mainly to narrow the results down. It is hard coded in the program during data selection from database tables.

Only very few like MM50 have an option of OR function.

Solution would be to execute the report twice and consolidate the results or develop a custom report.

Hi

As explained by Jeevan, when you provide details in COOIS or COOISPI, report is designed in such a way to satisfy all input condition and AND function will take care of the same.

You can use start date to find out the report for orders which are not yet confirmed, and use sys. stat field with CNF exclude.

And use finish date for orders which are confirmed.

Then you can evaluate both reports and analyze, and combine the result as per your need.

Hope this explanations helps.
