Group By In PLD

HI all,
Can we use Group by clause in PLD.
IF yes how to use group by..
Thanks,
Neetu

Hi,
Please follow :
1. Right click on the Repetitive Area Header1 and below to other Header since when you right click from Repetitive Area Footer and above its Header it will the grouping of the table, description, condition and value.
2. Click the Sort., Sort is where we find the grouping, the Grouping is equivalent to Summary option.
3. Choose which Field Name you want to group, then Sort Type if what datatype do want to sort the value of the field.Check the Summary to activate the grouping, without checking the Summary it just a simple sorting.
4. After it is done, remember that the Summary or Grouping features can be activated if a Text Field or Formula properties must have an value. example.
   Add a formula.. General Properties.. Group.. put a value of one 1. Content .. Concat(Field_xxx) where the value of Field_xxx is the Field Name in no. 3
5. If you want to have another Grouping or Summary just repeat step 1 to 3. Remember if you want another grouping put the General Properties.. Group.. put a value of one 2 for the next grouping and so on and so on...
The result if you have multiple Summary or Grouping the style is hierarchical.
   Field_xxx - for group value is equal to 1
       Field_xx2 for group value is equal to 2
         and so on...
Hope it helps.

Group functionusage in PLD

Hi everyone,
          In PLD i like to display the summation of similiar items , for that i like to know the usage of Group function, is there is any other ways also kindly mention.
For ex
    PO No         shade No Quantity
    PO1                1            10

Here i like to display the total of similiar PO no and shade no in Total field.
Thanks in advance
R.Vijaya kumar

Hi Vijaya
For the group function to work you must first sort the repetitive area on one or more fields (Print layout designer>Repetitive Area>Sort). Click the summary tickbox.
Now you can group - Print layout designer>Group. The default group is 0 so you select 1. Note that the Repetitive area header and footer areas are empty now so you can put in your own headers if you need to.
You need the following calculation field in the repetive area (header) - 'Sortvalue()' and the grouping will be on the field you selected initially.
You can have subtotals for that group in the Repetitive area footer (The sub-total must be assigned to that groupno on the general tab of the field properties)
I don't know of a better way to do this. The advanced layout designer will handle this more easily but the standard layout designer is ok for grouping and totals.
Hope this helps.

Hi Henry,
In order to do this you may try to use SortValue and Group feature in PLD, you can refer to SAP Note 917674, which is about 'Printing Tax Summary per Tax Groups on Marketing Documents', the steps should be the same but with different fields.
Regarding this function, detailed information can be found in session below:

PLD - How to link Items and Items Group

Hi guys, I'm having a problem that seems simple, but I can't solve it.
My sales order layout was working fine, showing items and grouping by items group. Then all of a sudden, it started not to show anything in the repetitive area.
When I was studying the problem I realized that when I add anything from the Items table (OITM) it doesn't list any results.
I suppose PLD should link RDR1.ItemCode with OITM.ItemCode automatically, no?
Is there anything I can try?
Thanks!!
Dan

Hi Dan,
Your assumption is not true. RDR1 is not linked to OITM after created. If you need anything from OITM table, it can only through UDF in Marketing Document Row.
Thanks,

Group Items - Pick List PLD

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to change the standard 2007A PLD Pick List document so that it can group items together?
For example a pick list is created for 5 orders. In 3 of the orders is the same product, item AAA.
Instead of the standard report grouping the documents so that AAA appears 3 times, is there a way to group items so that it will appear only once?
Thanks,
Liam.

Hi Liam,
Crystal would be easy to get this.
Here's a link to how to do this in PLD (I've tried it - it takes some testing): http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/businessone-elearning
Part 3 - Depencies covers grouping & sorting.
Hope that helps,

PLD: Grouping Item description: Line number is not sequential

Hi All,
I am facing a typical problem.
I have invoice PLD where I am grouping item description and other details like price and tax. Which is working correctly.
However Line number is also getting grouped.
ex line 1(sl No) : xyz (item description)
line 10(Sl No) :abc (item description) where in correct line number should be "line 2"
Please let me know how can we solve this.
Thanks In advance
Regards,
Aditya

Thanks Fasolis,
But I have added a column Linenum() both in repitative area and repitative footer where grouping is done.
the value it retrieves is not sequential since grouping is done. That is the problem, the Field Linenum() gives the output like 1, 15, 55 etc.. based on the starting of line of the item description from transaction which is grouped in PLD.
To be more clear example: there are 2 item codes with same description which is being grouped in PLD.
In transaction,
Line 1: itemcode 01: item name A Quantity: 3
Line 2: Itemcode 02: item name A Quantity: 5
Line 3: Itemcode 03: item name B Quantity: 10
Line 4: Itemcode 04: Item name B Quantity: 15
So in PLD
Line 1: Item name A Quantity 8
Line 3: Item name B Quantity 25
Desired result should be
Line 1: Item name A Quantity :8
Line 2: Item name B Quantity : 25

Aditya

PLD sorting and grouping

Hello
I would like to raise a question I am not able to answer
I want to group invoice at the end of the month with all delivery notes created within the month
The question is that some lines are text lines and there is no DN attached to the the line
as a result on the invoice the first group is DN without number grouping all empty lines
then I can see the grouping of delivery notes number
My question is how to delete on the lay-out the text lines so the document is clean and not showing a group of empty lines at the start of the document
thank you

Hi,
1. Create a field with variable 157, let's say it's field F_001
2. Create a formula field: F_002: F_001!='T'
3. Link all the row level fields on the repetitive area to this formula field. They will be displayed only if the row type is not text.

Hi Amol,
Note: All SELECT statement fields will be Stored and Display in Repetetive Area1. and
Parameter Fields are in Repetetive Area0 so you can Try to Copy & Paste the Field_ID's to Repetetive Area Header (or) Repetetive Area Footer.
for example.
Try this,
->> Open the QPLD and Goto Field index Window, then
->> Select the Repetetive Area Header & Repetetive Area Footer increase the Height on Properties Window.
->> Create the Formula fields in Repetetive Area Header & Repetetive Area Footer.
->> Which Field you want to print in header or footer. Drag the Field ID(in Repetetive Area) Copy & Paste to Formula Field.
->> Select the Repetetive Area 1 on Field Index Window.
->> Goto the Print Layout Designer on Tool bar.
->> Click Repetetive Area. -> Sort...
->> Open the Sort Widnow and Select the Requrie fields by sort.
ELSE Try this,
->> Click the Repetetive Area Footer 1.
->> then, Right Click in Repetetive Area Footer 1.
->> Choose the GROUP -> 1. then,
->> Create the Formula Fields in Repetetive Area Footer 1 and copy paste field ID's from Repetetive Area 1.
->> Select the Repetetive Area 1 on Field Index Window.
->> Goto the Print Layout Designer on Tool bar.
->> Click Repetetive Area. -> Sort...
->> Open the Sort Widnow and Select the Requrie fields by sort.
Ex.
->> Select Field Name, Sort by, Order, Summary, New Page.
->Select Field Name (Sort by) -> DocNo or CardCode,
Sort Type - Alpha.
Order -> Descending (or) Ascending.
Summary -> Select the Tick Mark.
New Page -> UnCheck the Tick Mark because if you need the second page Print of GROUP BY.
You can select the Tick Mark in New Page.
SAVE IT and see the Print Preview. it will be get exact Print. .

Distinct count of GRN's in Query PLD

hi all,
We have developed a daily grn report and designed report
using Query PLD.
Report contains
(grn no,date,vendor name,vendor ref no,item code,item
description,quanity & line total)
We want to display no of grn's(distinct count)
@ repetitive area footer.
Is there any function available in formula field to display
distinct count of no. of grn's ? / It should done thru query.
Thanks,
with regards,
A.Jeyakanthan

it will be hard from PLD, instead u can have ur query like,
SELECT 'Details', ' ',T0.Docnum, T0.CardName, .... FROM OPDN T0 WHERE Month( T0.DocDate ) = Month ('{%0]')
Union
SELECT 'Counts', count(T0.DocNum) as 'Doc(s) No', ' ', ' ', ... FROM OPDN T0 WHERE Month( T0.DocDate ) = Month ('{%0]')
(Replace { with [ )
Note ' ' is a gap in order to fill the other fields. in first query have given tht ' ' gap purposely so tht the display will not affect ur designing part
union is used b'coz Count() fn is like aggregate, so wont allow further individual fields coming along with it.
the 2nd query will occupy only one row, which by grouping u can separate and can hide from repetitive and take the value via formula field by writing that field's id to it into Footer Area.

Dhana.

Plz Help in PLD

I Have designned a simple report in PLD which consist of two fields. The Customer Name and the Dates on which he is delivered goods. The Query base PLD By default shows the Report like:
Customer       Delivery Date
Crest              01/05/2007
Crest              05/08/2007
Crest              06/09/2007
What I want is that I want to show the name of the Customer only once (possibly somewhere in header and in repetative area only Delivery Dates would be shown). i.e. the report should be like:
Customer : Crest
Delivery Dates:
01/05/2007
05/08/2007
06/09/2007
How Can I do this plz help someone.....

Hi
Highlight the repetitive area. Print Layout Designer>Repetitive Area>Sort. Sort on Cust Code, tick Summary.
Print Layout Designer>Group>Group1. Now add a formula field in Repetitive Area -
SortValue().
Now your report will group on the Customer code (displayed in Repetitive Area (Header). Make the Customer Code field in Repetitive Area not visible)

Problem In Query PLD

Hi All
We have problem while generating the query pld in SAP B1 2005 PL 34. We have given query for Goods Receipt PO with batch/serial no details. The details of batch no and serial no is working properly. When we execute the query if query pld comes to second page it is not displaying the details of GRN PO no, date, etc...
Our customer require GRN PO details in the suceessive pages. How to achieve this?
Thanks in Advance

hi Consultant,
Where did you put the GRN PO No, Date and Details?
Did you Use of Group by method in Repetetive Area (or) Repetetive Area Footer?
Do you want GRN PO No., Date and Other GRN Details in Header Level?
Try this,
1. Select GRN No. in Row Level and Copy (GRN No.) Field ID on Properties Area Window.
2. Create 1 Formula Field in Page Header and Put GRN No. Field ID.

Madhan.

Hi Consultant
For this no need to Create Crystal Report, It can be possible through Group by and Sort by in PLD.
For Using Sort By
Click on the repetative area in field index
Go to Printlayout designer on menu bar - repetative area - sort
It will open another window sort
1.In the field name give item no. and second Item Name
2.sort type alpha numeric
3.Check summary and uncheck new page
All the items with item code 001 will come in series.
Now we have to use group by
For Using Group By
Place Two formula fields in repetative area Above
001 ABC 10 15000 01 05
Put SortValue() for first
and also Sort Value for Second also.
Select two fields then go to Print Layout designer group. Select group 1 over there
Then the out put will be as
001 ABC
001 ABC 10 15000 01 05
001 ABC 10 15000 02 03
001 ABC 10 15000 03 02
Hide the field ItemCode and Name.
We can have
001 ABC
             10 15000 01 05
             10 15000 02 03
             10 15000 03 02

PLD Freight in Repetative Area

Hi Experts,
I have 20 items in A/R Invoice, and have 1 Freight amount say at 1500/-
I am trying to give detail in the A/R Invoice PLD, for this I added one more Repetative Area, but the Freigt details are appearing 21 times (as many times the number of items there are in the invoice).
How can I make the detail appear only once in the another repetative area.
Is there any way to group the freight field, and prevent it from appearing more than 1 number of times
Regards,
Murtaza R.E.

Hi,
Could you please try out the following:
1. Create UDFs on Marketing Document header level - number of UDF
   depending on the max number of Additional Expenses from the OEXD
2. Use query like below for UDF1:
   SELECT T2.EXPNSNAME + ' ' + STR(T1.LINETOTAL) + ' ' +
          STR(T1.VATSUM) + ' ' + STR(T1.VATPRCNT)
          + ' ' + STR(T1.LINEVAT)
   FROM   OINV T0
     INNER JOIN INV3 T1
       ON T0.DOCENTRY = T1.DOCENTRY
     INNER JOIN OEXD T2
       ON T1.EXPNSCODE = T2.EXPNSCODE
   WHERE T0.DOCNUM = $[OINV.DocNum]
     AND T1.LINENUM = 0
   Use query like below for UDF2:
   SELECT T2.EXPNSNAME + ' ' + STR(T1.LINETOTAL) + ' ' +
          STR(T1.VATSUM) + ' ' + STR(T1.VATPRCNT)
          + ' ' + STR(T1.LINEVAT)
   FROM   OINV T0
     INNER JOIN INV3 T1
       ON T0.DOCENTRY = T1.DOCENTRY
     INNER JOIN OEXD T2
       ON T1.EXPNSCODE = T2.EXPNSCODE
   WHERE T0.DOCNUM = $[OINV.DocNum]
     AND T1.LINENUM = 1
and so on.
3. Add the UDF to the Layout.
NOTE: The line number is important as there can be more than
one additional expense for the same Document Number;
Note that the query draws the details of one single record per
from the Add Expenses Table. You can make the amendments in the
query as required by either removing or adding more fields;
like increase space between the fields etc
Hope this will help.
