Different behaviour between IE6 and IE on opening Office documents via KM

Hi all,
we're in the process of rolling out Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and noticed something unexpected when opening non-html documents from a KM navigation iview. When clicking on the links in the ivew the documents are all opened in a new window because the hyperlink / href contains "target=_blank". When the document itself is for instance an Excel document, the browser will ask wether you want to open the document or not. When you choose to open the document, Excel launches and the blank IE6 window is closed in the background. When the user is done with the document he or she will return to the portal screen.
This nice behaviour does not occur with IE7. The blank window remains open so when the user closes the Office document they are looking at an empty IE7 screen.
Is there any way to fix this by customization or even by code change? It seems to me that this is more a SAP issue because for all HTML pages and for all documents that have IE plugins such as PDF'syou want to open a new window but for the others you want only the application to be lauched, not an empty IE.

I found the solution on another site, superuser.com, so I can't claim the solution as my own, but it worked for me. Kent Ng says:
I face the similar issue with Excel 2003. If you have installed Skype-Click-to-Call, just removed it to resolve this issue.

How do I copy image from web and paste into Open Office Document

Whenever I choose Copy Image from Safari and then paste into open office, I only get the image url and not the image. I am sure that I am not selecting Copy Image Address.
When I copy images from my iTunes album artwork and paste into open office it works fine.
Any thoughts?

I have done the same thing using Firefox and it works just fine. It seems to be an issue with Safari.

Can't open Office documents from share on Windows 8

We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8.1 image on a network share. The error message is just that the document can't open.
The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image from the networkshares.
Also can't open the documents if i copy them to the local desktop.
I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
Anybody?

Hi,
As I understand, the issue is that customers can’t open office documents on windows 8.1 on a network share or copying them to the local desktop.
Per my test, I can open documents on windows 8.1 on a network share.
1. By default, Word doesn't trust files in temp directories from your browser. You can add the
network address and local address to the trusted list. From Word 2010/2013: Click File > Word Options > Trust Center->trust center setting->add new location.
2. You can create a shortcut on the desktop using the network address and then open the documents by that way.
3. To narrow down the research scope that you can create a new document library->Download a problematic file (an Excel workbook or a word document) to your local->Upload the local file to the new document library->do the same option to check if
the same situation will occur.
There is a similar case:

Hi Sara Fan,
Thanks for your reply.
I have added the profile to the trusted locations but without success. Also a shortcut is not working. I still can't open any Office document on that location(Error message: location ***.xxxx can't be opened). The problem occurs on every client.
1. Opening Office documents under local administrator account, domain admin account is working fine
2. Re-image the machine is not a solution
4. All locations use the same Windows 8.1 image through SCCM
3. When the user logon to another location(site) it's working fine and they can open Office documents so it seems site-specific
4. The problem is specific from 2 sharepoint shares. We can open office documents from other shares.
5. Can't open Office documents from the library on the sharepoint site(browser), but on another location it's working fine.
Problem only occurs on Windows 8.1 image with domain users. Other locations of this company do not have the problem. Note, every location have their own OU for users/clients.
Any other suggestions?

Can we have different products between B2B and B2C

Hi Experts,
I have one basic question. Can we maintain the different products between B2B and B2C users. Because we have requirement is B2B users should get all the products, but B2C users should get limited products. Is there way we can setup like this to meet the requirements. Please let me know. Thank you very much in advance.
With Regards,
Sudheer.

You do this by creating two Product Catalogs (PCAT_B2C and PCAT_B2B, for example) Then, in ShopAdmin you assign the B2C site to PCAT_B2C and the B2B to the PCAT_B2B.
Another possibility, although not very user friendly is to use one PCAT and allow B2B users to add items to their cart directly, even thought they're not in the PCAT. The drawback here is that they MUST know the exact number and they can not search for them. I can give more info on this if you feel it might work for you, but it is not a very good option as a general rule.

Different quantity between GR and Invoice

Hi gurus,
If there is a different quantity between GR and Invoice, how could I handle it?
Please tell me the process in detail for 2 cases: GR > Invoice and GR < Invoice.

if the quantity is less and bill is for more quantity then u can use invoice reduction
or the subsequent credit or debit is good option for both cases

When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

I don't use OpenOffice (I have it on my internal just to play around with, but seldom even open it). I do use MS Word and have few problems sharing files - it's usually a font issue so I tend to use MS fonts for documents that I know will need to be shared.
Unless you need to make collaborative changed to the document, you could always save it as a pdf file. With Acrobat Pro you can even save a pdf file to a Word document with very little change in formatting.
If I were you - and you have a need for .doc or .docx files to travel and play nicely - I'd just invest in MS Office. If you don't have to send a Word file, try pdf.

Relation between BKPF and EKBE table for reversing document?

Is there any relation between BKPF and EKBE table for reversing document when STBLG is blank in BKPF.
AND
How to differentiate Old Accounting document / Reverse document / New document when in BKPF-STBLG is blank for all three document and BKPF-XBLNR are same for all.

Hi Varun,
Table Document no (BKPF-BELNR) is link between Material document no (EKBE-BELNR). If you are looking for validating Material reversal document then please use following logic for your requirement.
Material Document (MBLNR) & Material Document Year (MJAHR). Pass material document (MBLNR) to MSEG-SMBLN to read MSEG-MBLNR with MSEG-MJAHR to MSEG-SJAHR, if record found delete both the documents i.e. MSEG-SMBLN & MSEG-MBLNR (donu2019t consider these documents in the logic) and display Material Document No. (MSEG-MBLNR)

Problem to open Office documents from Sharepoint

Hello All,
We have published SharePoint 2013 (NTLM authentication) via TMG 2010. However, we are having the following issue:
When users try to open (https connection) any Office Documents to Office 2013 they get prompted for credentials, then after they provide credentials they get "Sorry, we couldn't open <URL of the document>". The prompt for credentials is ok because
persistent cookies are not option for us. We don’t have Office Web Apps in use and we want to open documents to client application. Our company users machines are Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 10/11.
I made some tests and everything work fine with:
Windows 7, Office 2010 and Internet Explorer 10/11
Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 8
Almost fine:
Windows 7, Office 2013 and Firefox (latest). With Firefox it works if I open any Office document from summary link list but not if I try to open from inside document library. If I open from document library (right click) to new tab or to new window it works
fine.
Any ideas what’s going on? It must be something with IE 10/11 and Office 2013. I also tried with TMG persistent cookie and then I can open Office documents with IE 10/11.
I also checked with fiddler what happens and I can see that everything stops to 401 error.
Thank you,

Hello Miikkal,
You need to enable SharePoint class in IE. Please follow this
blog and follow this
article.
Once, this is done you can Enable all the IE settings to load for Intranet and Trusted zone settings
Put your site in compatibility mode and trusted zone
Also, make sure that 2 versions of Office suite is not installed on the system. Eg. Lync 2013 and Office 2010 on one single machine
What happen when you by pass your TMG server. To do this we need to make host entry for URL directed to APP server IP Address.
Thank You, Pallav S. Srivastav ----- If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered.

Not able to open office documents from SharePoint site using Forms auth on a Mac with Office 2011

I posted the same question on the Mac Office forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/not-able-to-open-office-documents-from-sharepoint/7fba517b-ebd1-4e90-a54a-c70c5f035146?tm=1418836613595) but figured it's probably more
of a SharePoint question so I'm going to try here as well.
We just discovered an issue where a user logs into a SharePoint site using Forms based authentication. When clicking on an Office file they get
'Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you' message:
The user can download the file and can also open the file within the browser (Office Web apps). This SharePoint site is on a Web app that uses mixed authentication (forms for external partners) and Windows/Kerberos for internal employees.
When logging into this same site as an internal user I am able to open the file just fine.
I checked the 'Microsoft Document Connection' settings and selected and deselected 'Enable Basic Authentication' and neither helped.
I also tried to add the site URL under 'Microsoft Document Connection' -> Add connection -> Connect to a SharePoint site. When I put the site URL in and click 'Connect', I get an error saying that 'Only connection to SharePoint or OneDrive
servers are supported' message. If I try the same thing as an internal user using Windows/Kerberos authentication I am able to connect to the site just fine.
Any ideas??

Hi Szamir,
As you are using Form Based authentication to open the documents from SharePoint site, I recommend to check the things below:
Make sure that the user has permission to view the documents in the site.
Please select "Sign me in automatically" when you sign in the login page.

Open Office Documents? (.dot)

Anyone know of a viewer for the iPad that recognized Open Office documents? I have GoodReader which is great. Especially since it connects to Clouds. However, it doesn't know what to do with these docs.

Some .dot documents are Microsoft Word Templates. They may be set up with formatting and things like a company logo , return address and signature line. Can yours be opened by Word?
You might experiment with one, and see what happens if you change the suffix to .doc.
I recall from several years ago at work, that .dot documents were sometimes identified by Norton as containing a virus.

Problem opening Office documents from KM

Hello, I have some problem opening Office documents from KM.
We stored a lot of office documents (Excel, Word ecc.) in a File System repository (the standard repository "/documents"), when I open one of these files, before to view the document, a little logon window appears, it asks portal user's credentials.
If the user presses the "Cancel" button the logon window will be closed and the document showed, but on the next attempt to open an office file the system will asks again the user information .
If the user gives the right information the documents will be showed and the logon window does not appear again..
How con I avoid the logon request for each Office document in my repository?
Any suggestion??
Best Regards

Thank you a lot Brad!!
We use Office 2003 and the note 549610 solves our issue!!
