User-defined field limit

Hi All,
Is there a limit on the number of user-defined fields? In SBO 2005 PL03 I cannot create more than 30 UDFs on the BP table. I get the following error: WTR1 Error(1)
The record limit of 8060 is not close to being reached.
Thanks in advance,
Adele

Adele:
Im running 2005 PL06, and I created 38 fields to try ypur problem, and I can keep creating fields.
The strange thing is your error is in the WTR1 table, that is the Inventory transfer rows table.
may I suggest that you try fewer fields, maybe one, with the total length of your 30 fields? that way, you'll discard a maximum number of fields issue.

User defined Field Size limit

Hi,
would anyone know if there is a limit of the number of user defined fields that can be addeded to SAP Business One (2004A on SQL server 2000)?
I think there is (in a diffrenet way). It looks like there is a maximmum byte size - 8060.
I have the following user fields already in the business partner master data screen .
A - alphanumeric size = 50
B - alphanumeric size = 20
C - alphanumeric size = 20
D - alphanumeric size = 20
E - alphanumeric size = 254
If I try to change B to size 254 ,This is the error message I get.
"[CUFD] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Warnning: The table 'ACRD' has been created but it's maximum row size 'User Fieds - Descr' (8522) exeeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060)..."
there is nothig else wqrong with the field exept I cannot make it size 254 (I can if I delete the field E though), so I definitely think it is SAP restricting the size. SQL Server does not have this size restriction. I can manually go and change the size using SQL Server Enterprise manager for example.
I have managed to change the size directly on ACRD, and
CUFD but dont thinks this is a very approprite way of handilng it.
Is this an undocumented restriction/feature in SAP or have I missed reading about this ?
Thanks in advance,
Indika.

Hi Spiros,
I hope you are right. But I have experiences this with many atleast 3 other seperate installations. They were all SQL Server, ranging from Enterprise versio, to Developer version to standard.
However I can directly change the size in SQL Server without an issue as I mentioned. This proves that this not an issue with SQL Server. Could it be some sort of a flag in the SAP? I get this on the SAP US demo company for example.
If anyone else had the problem please do respond.
Thanks,
Indika

64,000 character limit on UDT user defined field column

Hey All.
We are storing more then 64,000 characters into a UDT user defined field column as it stores a large XML document. How can I retreive this information from the UDT using the DI API? Everytime I try to do this using either the UDT object or SAP recordset it chops off the data to 64000 characters. The UDF was created as a "TEXT" type using B1 client and when I look in the database it has a datatype of NTEXT.
Is this a bug or is there no way using DI API to retreive all the data?

Curtis,
Apologies for my delay in getting back to you.
I do not know the reasoning behind the limit. As far as 2007A is concerned, the documentation that I was looking at when I first responded to your question was the 2007A SDK Help documentation, so I would say it is the same in 2007.
I believe that you can use ADO to access data in SAP Business One as there are other ISV's that use ADO, just not access via stored procedures directly to the Business One database. ADO and ODBC connectivity have rules in place for data validation, although it is recommended that you use the Business One API's for data access as much as possible. You could also store data in your own tables in a separate database and retrieve from there.

Use of user define field in Task list

Hi,
Please give the solution for the strange requirement of the client as:
My client wants to define the operation for preventive maintenace in two parts like
check temperature : 45 deg celcius.
check temperature should be like operation and rest what he has to check to be defined in other field i.e. both should not be together.
so i find the solution as user defined fields in the task list where i can define this second parameter.
But the problem is that system is not proposing this second field in the preventive order, only operation field is proposed.
Please suggest some solution, how can this requirement can be mapped.

Both operations of the inspection lot will need to be completed at some point. They are in the same lot so they belong together. Both operations should be available to the user. (Unless you used workcenters and security to limit users to specific workcenters).
Once set up, it will only be available to new inspection lots. Few things in SAP are retroactive.

SALES ORDER: Total of a Field from the Grid in a User-Defined Field in ORDR

Hello!
I created a User-Defined Field called "U_Soma" in table ORDR (Marketing Documents / Title).
I need this U_Soma field Totalize the content of another User-Difined Field called "U_TotalPorUM" created in table RDR1 (Marketing Documents / Rows). It must get the Sum the value of all rows in the current record being edited.
Using the Query below, it works fine with already saved records:
SELECT SUM(T1.[U_TotalPorUM]) FROM ORDR T0 INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry WHERE T0.DocEntry = $[ORDR.DocEntry]
However, I need that it work with non saved (yet) records.
Thank you!

Edited by: ValerioOliveira on Apr 22, 2010 10:14 PM

Gordon, thank you for your fast answers!
In other circumstances I would agree with you.
But the U_Soma field must be used to control the maximum weight of a charge.
It becames very usefull if user can see that the charge limit is reached, still when the Sales Order is being edited.
(The U_TotalPorUM field shows the weight of each item).
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks a lot!

User Defined Fields on System Form

Dear All,
I want to know that how much User Defined Fields can be added on a system form. My problem is that I am developing an add-on for the Item Master Data. And I have used a lot of User Defined Fields on Item Master Data Forms which contains table 'OITM'. Now if I am trying to add any extra User Defined fields in OITM Table, I am not able to do so. I am getting an error as 'Internal Error Occurred'. What can i do regarding this problem.? Help me. It is something very important.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
There is theoretically no limit on the number of UDF for a table. there is however a maximum number of characters for a record in SQL Sever.
As far as I know this is 4000 in SQL Server 2005 and older and 8000 in SQL Server 2008.
pls check Microsoft for the exact numbers

User defined fields in Crystal layout

Hi All,
I want to add user defined field values in crystal layout for Sales order, but its not listed in RDR1 tables there but it's available in SAP query manager view. How can i get that in Crystal reports. please suggest on this.
Regards
Sree

You can then remove the key and the fields in the database will keep their correct definitions rather than varchar(max) which is causing the initial problems.
Adding extra keys may uause performance issues if you leave them there for a large table.
I have also had issues of varchar(max) fields causing database connection issues when running the reports in 8.81 PL07.

Issue while deleting user defined field in oim 11.1.1.3

All,
Made a mistake while creating user defined field called "Profile for" (loing to OIM -> advanced -> configuration -> User configuration). We are trying to delete it. It appears to get deleted from user attributes screen. But when we run LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation Task we get the following error below:
oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ProcessLDAPReconDataException: oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ReconEventCreationException: Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAPIException: Profile for - LDAPUser object does not exists for resource object
Is any thing else need to be deleted adn cleaned up?
thanks in advance,
Prasad.

How do i check what resource object the recon task is running against. here is what i found so far.
I cannot find LDAPUser resource object when i query Resource Management -> Resource Objects in design console. Same thing with Manage Resource and search (here i only find Xellerate User, Xellerate Organiztion, USERS_GTC, and Installation) in OIM advanced administration menu.
The LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation job itself has the following parameters (batch size, last change number, OIM employee type, OIM User organization name, OIM user type)
I also decompiled LDAPUserChangesReconTask and it is looking for LDAPUser metadata from MDS directly.

User defined field in SD and its link to Value field in COPA (??)

Dear All,
We have created one "Z" field i.e. user defined field and its in VBRP Table. This is a quantity field. to update the values in this field we have used an exit in sales and distribution module. Now, by defining this exit values are correctly populated in VPRP table on line item basis.
Requirement here is we need to get this field in COPA, for same i have carried out the quantity field assignment to value field (KE4M).
Even after this configuration profitability segment is not updated.
Regards,
Sayujya
Edited by: sayu on Mar 15, 2010 10:13 AM

In the past I did something similar and had to use function module EXIT_SAPLKEAB_001 in enhancement COPA0002 to populate the field. To use this exit you'll first need to add a user exit id to your valuation strategy (transaction KE4U). The help on the function module is pretty good, but if you run into a problem let me know.
thanks,

Adding user defined field in print layout design of Bill of matrial Report

I want to add "Drawing No" which is user defined field in Bill of Material report need immediate help .

Hi,
If you add the UDF in BOM-Title then the UDF will be in OITT table.
If you add the UDF in BOM-Rows then the UDF will be in ITT1 table.
You will find BOM-Title or BOM-Rows in Production Module (ie., in User Defined Fields --> Manage User Fields)
In PLD, You can print the UDF if you search in the above said tables.

How to change the text of a user defined field in dynamic selections?

Logical Database PSJ is used by t code CJI3 - we added a couple of user fields into the dynamic selections of CJI3.
Now - how to change the text of this user filed (USR01 of structure PRSP_R in logical database PSJ)?
Found an OSS note - 86980 - that tells that this is not possible.
But when we read the documentation on the user field (CJI3 - dynamic selections - double click on user field - F1), it shows the following text:
User-defined field in which you can enter general information with a length of up to 20 characters.
Dependencies
The names (key words) for user-defined fields depend on the field key.
Now the question is where to change the field key..
Thanks,
Ven

Madhu - you did not get the question I think.
Anyways - I found an OSS note 1266643 - this code change should take care of the issue - it will then reflect the details maintained in custoizng at transaction code OPS1..
Thanks,

User-defined field in existing table

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to add a user-defined field in an existing table.
Actually, I would like to add a combobox with other types of partners than vendors, customers and leads and add a user-defined field in the OCRD table.
Thank you
Regards,
Thibault

Hello,
Your answers help me a lot !
My code is working, i.e. when I create a new BP and choose another type in my comboBox, the information is saved.
When I search a BP who has this type, SAP find the good BP.
But, I don't see where the data is stored, I don't see anything which make the difference between 2 BP with 2 different types in the OCRD table.
So, where SAP can make the difference?
Thank you
Regards,
Thibault

Pankaj,
When you do the Manage User Fields area to define a UDF, all the possible areas where UDF's can be created in B1 is listed. You would be able to create UDF's only on these.
