In this activity, you can maintain existing libraries or create new ones. You have to assign each report that you define to a library.

A library is a collection of characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns from all available entries in a Report Writer table.

• A characteristic is a non-numeric field. "Account", "Cost center", and "Business area" are all examples of characteristics.

• A key figure is a numeric value field. "Amount in local currency", "Total costs", and "Activity quantity" are all examples of key figures.

• A predefined column consists of a key figure and one or more characteristics. Using predefined columns, you can define standard columns that can be used several times in your report. "Actual costs in current fiscal year" and "Plan costs in closed fiscal year" are examples of predefined columns.

There are four screens for defining libraries:

• Header

• Key figures

• Characteristics

• Predefined columns

1. Enter a description of your library.
2. Define which key figures should be used in your library.
3. Define which characteristics should be used in your library.
4. Define which predefined columns should be used in your library.

In steps 2 to 4, enter the order (position), if necessary, in which the characteristics, predefined columns, and key figures should be used in the Report Painter selection lists.

You transport libraries into the production system using a specific Customizing transaction. For more information, see the "Transport Report Writer Objects" activity.

For more information on creating and editing libraries, see Financial Accounting -> Special Purpose Ledger -> Report Writer -> Libraries in the SAP Library.
