Huge delay in Printing Crystal Report Layout

Good Day Experts,
I am experiencing big delays when printing a document that makes use of a Crystal Report Layout Design.
For example,
The Sales Quote is set to automatically print when added by the user.
When clicking 'Add', SAP freezes up and only about 30 seconds later does the printer finally print the document.
During that time, the user cannot use SAP at all.
The layout does have a lot of fields and a few formulas here and there.
Logically, I am thinking that that is the reason for the delay, as SAP needs to calculate and populate those fields.
Is there any other way that I could speed up this process? Or if you know what might be causing this speed issue?
Your assistance will be appreciated,
Thanks
Regards
Dario

  • Crystal report layout printing issue

    Hi Experts
    I have a bit of an urgent issue which I can't seem to solve.
    I have created a print spec using crystal reports 2008 sp3.  I am trying to print it using an epsom dot matrix printer which is brand new. When I print from crystal reports itself, I have managed to get it printing perfectly. However, as soon as I run it through SAP, the orientation either goes out or it only prints 3/4 of the width of the page and to much as far as the being goes...
    There are other print specs which have been created using pld which print fine.
    Does anyone know the solution to this issue?

    Hi,
    To print Crystal report correctly on dot matrix printer is really a challenge for B1. You have to try everything possible to make it happen. Try search the forum first. There are quite a few discussions about it. However, solution is rare.
    Thanks,

  • Importing Crystal Report layout for customer statements

    Hello,
    I have imported a crystal report layout to use for the customer statements when running them from the ageing report.  The problem is even if we only select one business partner in the ageing report, when we print preview the statement it displays statements for all business partners - this is because in the crystal report there are no parameters.  I know that when you import a layout like this for other documents you need to use for example, {ORDR.DocEntry}={DocKey@} as the parameter however the customer statements don't have a docentry.  When I look at the system statement layout (collection layout), when you run the report you get an ADO.NET (XML) connection prompt.  Is it possible to use the crystal layout i have for the customer statements but for only the customer(s) showing on the ageing report?
    Many thanks,
    Kate

    So just to make it clear,
    you want an overview of open invoices from 1 customer.
    If so, try this in crystal reports :
    Create a parameter field (field explorer)
    Name : CardName
    Type : String
    Value : Static
    do not select a value field (none)
    press ok.
    Select expert
    Create new
    Starts with
    type this : {?CardName}
    press add
    Click formula editor and make it look like this :
    {OINV.DocStatus} = "o" and
    {OINV.CardName} startswith {?CardName}

  • Crystal Report Layout asking for Login Info

    I have modified the Delivery Note Crystal Report Layout for Business One by clicking the Edit button on the Report and Layout Manager for Delivery Note (Items).  I then saved my modifications to a file.  Finally, I go into Business One and import the Layout for Delivery Note (Items).  When I preview the Layout it asks me for login information then continues to fail.  How dow I make it so I can print the Delivery without having to constantly log in?

    Hi Jeff,
    I recently had a similar problem on an 8.82 implementation, having contacted and spoken to SAP Support multiple times these suggested fixes worked:
    The request to login to the database when you open or print preview a Crystal
    report is a known issue. To resolve this, I recommend you go through our Root
    Cause Analysis (RCA) guide. Please see attac hed Note 1676353 on where to find
    this. There are four Cases in this guide (which contain a number of Influences)
    - please go through all Cases and Influences.
    We also tried the following:
    STEP 1:
    Influence 2: Case 2 is to clear all the data for login (e.g. sa and
    password - delete them) and then ticked 'Integrated Security#.
    - Influence
    3: #: Check the current datasource is to update connection.
    - Retest opening
    the system reports on a workstation.
    - If they are still reporting an error
    try the next step
    - STEP 2:
    - Change the datasource location of
    the report from OLE DB to SAP Business One type and leave the
    authentication
    information blank. Try running the report in Crystal, and then import to SAP.
    And also opened up the Crystal Report via the Edit button in SAP in Reports and Layouts Manager, we then clicked on the database connection and updated all the tables (even though they were the same) and these got the reports needed working. Speaking to SAP it is a known bug and they are releasing a hotfix to resolve it, but try explaining that to a customer !!!
    Hope these help.
    Regards

    Hi,
    In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
    If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.

  • Number of Copies in Crystal Report Layout

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to show the number of copy in a Crystal Report layout?
    I mean: I am creating an invoice layout in Crystal Reports for SAP Business One 8.8.
    Customer wants to print always 3 copies, but with the word "Copy" in second and third document.
    I can set the number of printed copies but... is it possible to include a reference of what number of copy is every document?
    Sorry for any language mistake.
    Kind Regards,
    Toni Dorta

    Hi Toni,
    If the customer always prints  3 copies of the Invoice, here is what you could do. You could design your Crystal Report to always print 3 copies. That is, if your Invoice has 1 page, then design your Crystal Report to Print 3 pages every time. On the 2nd and 3rd page, you include the word "Copy" to indicate that they are copies.
    Once you have modified the report, change the No: of Printed copies to 1. This when the customer prints the report, it will always print 3 copies of the report and have the word "Copy" on the 2nd and 3rd invoices.
    Hope this helps.

  • How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

    Dear Experts,
    I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
    I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
    {ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
    Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

    I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
    It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
    (I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

  • Purchase Order Crystal Report Layout Error

    The stock Crystal Report Layout for Purchase Orders is giving me the following error:
    A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.
    Details: errorKind
    Error in File POR20002 {b89f97ad-bf1f-447b-8bb4-b3d2e5219269}
    {3C375C81-7D37-475D-9BCB-1703CE533B65}.rpt
    Error in formula N_Decimal_Places:
    '// To get the length of decimals
    A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.
    Details: errorKind
    I looked in the Crystal Reports Formula fields and could not find N_Decimal_Places.
    Has any one else had the problem with the PO layout that comes with Business One?  If so, how did you fix it?

    Couldn't find how to copy the PO layout over using copy express.
    I did compare the RDOC fields for POR20002 in both databases and they are Identical. 
    In Crystal Reports, I did a formula search for N_Decimal_Places and it found nothing.  Then I did a search for 'length' in all formulas and it finds length in N_Decimal_Places.  When I double click on N_Decimal_Places it clears the screen and never shows the formula. This happens in both layouts for my test database and SBODemoUS.
    Again, SBODemoUS works correctly and AAA_TEST give the error.

  • Set As Default Crystal Report Layout in SAP B1 8.8 PL13

    Hi,
    I want to Set As Default a Crystal Report Layout. I know you can do that in Layout Desginer - Selection Criteria, but SAP B1 8.8 PL 13 has only a Manage Layout button in the Layout Desginer window which links to the Report and Layout Manager. There is no Set As Default button.
    Where can you select which layout to be default in PL13?
    Thanks!

    When Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled, using the ActiveX control to print reports from a Crystal 10 DHTML viewer results in the following error message:

    Resolution
    This is a known issue with Crystal Reports 10 and Crystal Enterprise 10 viewers and has been tracked. The Track ID is ADAPT00282199.

  • Print crystal report in A5 paper tray

    Dear Experts,
    I am using VB.NET
    We have different printers like "Lexmark Optra T612_DB", "HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v4.7)", etc., in the network, there will be 2 or more trays for each printer. One of the tray has A5 paper in it. While printing Crystal report,
    1. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present?
    2. How to select A5 paper tray for printing?
    If the above 2 are not possible with crystal report object:
    1. How to print crystal report using PrintDocument object?
    2. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present using PrintDocument object?
    3. How to select A5 paper tray for printing? using PrintDocument object?
    Currently with the following lines of .NET code, it is always printing in Tray 2
    report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA5;
    report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
    Regards,
    Eswar

    Unfortunately, it will be up to you to find out what tray the correct paper size is in, then set that to the report. The CR APIs do not look up these values, they just expect you to know these and set them.
