Hi Detleff,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio
Editor. Based on your Crystal Reports printing issue, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue. Therefore,
I suggest you can ask your issue directly on SAP Crystal Reports:
http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports/content?filterID=content~objecttype~objecttype[thread]
for better solution and support.
Best Regards,
We are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time. Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.

  • SAP B1 Collection Report's crystal report layout printing format

    Hi all,
    We're having an issue in Crystal Report fro SAP Business One - for the Collection (aged-debt) report.
    The report is basically doing the following when previewing it in SAP Business One.
    It prints the header information etc on the first page and then the detailed information filling up the page as expected - it then prints more lines (not filling up the page - maybe 10 lines or so) from the detailed section to the second page (without any headers etc) - then the third page contains headers again with the detailed line data and the fourth then has a couple of lines but without any header data - and so on...
    We've checked the standard page settings - all looks fine.We've checked the section expert - again can't see anything particularly bizarre. It's as though Crystal thinks the page is actually ending someway down the second page!
    Has anyone come across a similar scenario and what would be the solution to this sort of issue?
    Many thanks,
    Mohsen

    Hi Mohsen,
    You may check Selection Expert - Paging tab to see if they have been changed. What is the setting for Report header and Page header?
    Thanks,

  • 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,
    Gordon

  • 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

  • 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.

  • How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1

    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.

  • SAP should retrieve print preferences in a Crystal report before printing

    I would like to submit an enhancement... or a "come back" of something that was working fine before.
    Missing functionality referring to message #88318 opened at the end of January 2011
    Version: 8.8 u2013 PL18
    Description of requirements:
    Automatically select the appropriate page layout in SAP B1 when the page layout has been saved in a Crystal report.  So, the user wonu2019t have to change his u201CPrint preferencesu201D in SAP before printing a document with a different layout.
    Valid as of: N/A
    Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
    Any people who has to print a report doesnu2019t want to always think about what should be the layout of this specific report and then have to change it in B1 before printing. This is a loss of time, more over when the layout has been saved in the u201CPrint preferencesu201D of the report itself (for example, 8½ X 14 or Landscape) so the user should not have to manually select it in addition.
    The print preview is correct in CR and in B1 but then, when sending the preview to the printer, the printing is not correct.  It is not on the same format.
    Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
    I have a Crystal Report saved in 8½ X 14 format.
    I preview it within Crystal Report --> Ok
    I send it to the printer via Crystal Report --> Ok
    I preview it within SAP --> Ok
    I send it to the printer via SAP --> THIS SHOULD BE PRINTED THE WAY IT IS PREVIEWED
    Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
    The users have to change their print preferences in B1 before printing the report !  This is a loss of time !
    Proposed solution:
    SAP should take in consideration the printing preferences saved in Crystal, so it will print the report accordingly to the print definition, using the appropriate tray. Since the print preview is okay, it should print that way.
    This was working fine in 8.8-PL11u2026

    Thank you for your reply. It works in this specific report.
    But we have both PLD and Crystal Report in the system, changing the settings means the PLD will lose their watermark...
    Also, I don't know how the Draft is displayed, but when select Print Preview for Draft, it's asking for parameter (DocEntry), which I have setup a DocKey@ in Crystal Report and set it in the Selection Manager. Does SAP provide DocEntry in Draft Invoice (ODRF) the same way as in Invoice (OINV)?
    Thanks,
    Grace

  • 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}

    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.

    as you refer to the legacy technology VB6 I recommend to post this query to the [Legacy Application Development SDKs|SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs; forum.
    This forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
