You neither need to search the forum, nor look for a Function Module for your requirement.

A little bit of common sense will do the trick.

Hi...

If in selection criteria if u entering only month then its easy to get previous month by simply do -1 from that.

If you are taking date in selection then do following method

* if format is YYYYMMDD

then 

DATA : v_date type sy-datum,
            v_month type i.

PARAMETERS: P_DATE TYPE SY-DATUM.

v_month = P_DATE+4(2).
v_month = v_month - 1.

write v_month.

This way u can get the pre. month. hope this will helpful to u.

if i enter input month as 1 then previous month will be 0. I have to find out the previous month. if i enter month in selection screen 1 then previous month will be 12 .

Is there any FM.

for getting previous month you have somany function modules.

search for the same in SE37 ,providing as input PREVIOUSMONTH* and press F4 then you will get set of function modules.call this function module and populate as per definition of that function module.

Hope it will helpful
