Can we Desing a Product Catalog book (100 Pages)

Hi Gurus,
I have the below requirement. I would like to know the advisable tool (BO-Crystal Report, ...Or any....)?
We have product Catalog Book (100 Pages).
I manually take the Product
     -Cost data from SAP FI ECC
     -Sales Data from SAP SD ECC
     -Availability Data from SAP MM ECC
     -Customer requirements from SAP CRM
I generate a PDF report monthly and publish in the portal. Now I would like to go with Business Objects. Is there a scope for this...?
Sincere Thanks

I know you can use Crystal Reports. I am not familiar with other BO features and so I can not advise.

How to create a product catalog in crm(by the end user of the system)?

how can we an end user create a product catalog?
what is the diff b/n prod cat and prod?
we download the prod from r/3.
how we get the prod cat done in crm for the customers and consumers and how it is done?
thank you,

hi
first of all we need to look at what is catalog management before proceding with product and product catalog.
You use this business scenario to create a centralized product catalog that contains product descriptions, multimedia objects, pricing, and associated literature. The catalog enables quick and easy customer access to timely and personalized product information, structured in such a way that most meets your customers needs.
Product catalogs are implemented in sales processes and are of particular importance in CRM Web Channel for presenting your products in the Web shop.
difference between the product and product catalog
this is not the thing that product and product catalog are completely different entity.
Product catalog :   A grouping together of products from your product master data, in a structured hierarchy.
You use product catalogs to group together products to present them in the Web shop, Interaction Center, or in other forms of media, for example printed format or CD-ROM.
You can create various catalogs for your products in the product master and use them according to a validity date. For example, you could use certain products for the summer season, and other products for the winter season.
You can also tailor your product catalog to meet other needs by creating catalog variants. For example, you can create a catalog in English with the prices displayed in US Dollars.
so by above definition it is very much clear that products are actually assign to the catalog,i will give you an analogy that museum is a kind of catalog and you add different pictures to the museum,in the same way you add product to the product catalog according to the acatlog variant.
Now how you assign product to product catalog
Product Assignment
You assign products manually or automatically to a catalog area, depending on the catalog type. The product ID, product description, and status of all products is displayed, as is the information as to whether the item contains accessories or if it is a configurable product.
Prerequisites
You have created products in your product master in SAP CRM under Accounts and Products
Process
You select a catalog area in your product catalog, and edit the item list by assigning products to the area.
Manual Assignment
You can assign products manually on an individual basis or by copying a catalog area. You tend to choose manual product assignment for marketing-oriented catalogs that are subjected to editorial controls.
      Individual assignment
      In this case you select the catalog area in which the product should be assigned, manually search for the product in the product master, and assign it to the area.
      Copying items from catalog areas
      You select an area or subarea from another catalog and copy it to your new catalog. The system copies all products from the copied area to the new catalog, as long as they belong to the distribution chain assigned to the target catalog variant. From these products, you can then manually determine which products from the copied area you want to keep and which items you wish to delete.
The following is true for manually assigned products:
      You can activate or deactivate items on an individual basis.
      You can edit the list of accessories for manually assigned products. The system determines which accessories are maintained for the product in the product master and displays them in the item area of the catalog. You select which accessories should be displayed for the product in the catalog and activate them.
      Manually assigned products can be included or removed from catalog views on an individual basis.
Automatic Assignment
You can assign products automatically to a catalog by transferring product hierarchies from your product master to the catalog areas. The categories, items, attributes, and documents contained in the product hierarchy are copied to the new catalog.
You use automatic product assignment mainly for functional catalogs, where products can be copied with very few changes, from the product categories of the product master. It enables a standardized characterization of your products in the catalog.
The following is true for products assigned to the catalog using product hierarchy transfer:
      Product categories which make up the hierarchies become catalog areas in the catalog.
      Product categories in the product hierarchy must be assigned to the distribution chain to which the target catalog variant is assigned. Otherwise the category is not transferred. The same applies to the items, texts, and documents assigned to the category.
      Items are always active and cannot be individually activated or deactivated.
      Accessories maintained for transferred product in the product master are automatically included and displayed in the catalog.
      Transferred items cannot be individually included in catalog views or removed from them. Instead all items of the hierarchy are always contained in the view.
      Lists of characteristics for transferred categories and items can be automatically created when transferring product hierarchies. The transferred values are included in the item overview of the product catalog.

HT4168 I have created an 100 page booklet in Pages, with many photographs, can I export it to ePub, and make an electronic book, because it says that "Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template"?

I have created an 100 page booklet in Pages, with many photographs, and much written word, can I export it to ePub, and make an electronic book, because it says that "Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template"?....
Basically what I want to do is publish the document into both an eDocument, and a hard copy document. What is the best way to do this?

No Peter, this statement came right off the Apple ePub statement when outlining how to use ePub. the full context is:
Creating ePub files with Pages
Summary
Learn how to create ePub files with Pages.
Products Affected
Pages '09
ePub is an open ebook standard produced by the International Digital Publishing Forum. Pages ’09 lets you export your documents in ePub format for reading with iBooks on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
iBooks supports both ePub and PDF file formats, and you can export both from Pages.
When to use ePub or PDF
Use ePub when text is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a book, a report, a paper, a thesis, or classroom reading material.
More details on using ePubUse PDF when layout is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a brochure, a flyer, or a manual with multiple illustrations.
More details on using PDF
Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks
You can export any Pages word processing document to the ePub file format for reading in an ePub reader, such as the iBooks application on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Documents created in page layout templates can’t be exported to the ePub format.
Documents exported to ePub format will look different than their Pages counterparts. If you want to get the best document fidelity between the Pages and ePub formats, style your Pages document with paragraph styles and other formatting attributes allowed in an ePub file. A sample document is provided on the Apple Support site that features styles and guidelines to help you create a Pages document that’s optimized for export to the ePub file format, which you can use as a template or a guide. To learn more about using paragraph styles in Pages, see the topics under the heading “Working with Styles” in the Pages built-in help.
To read your ePub document in iBooks on your mobile device, you must transfer the ePub file that you create onto your device.
To use the “ePub Best Practices” sample documentTo learn more about using the ePub format and get a better feel for how a Pages document might appear as a book in iBooks, it’s a good idea to download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document. After reading the guidelines and instructions within the document, you can use it as a template to create your own document. You can also import the styles from the sample document into a new document you create.
Download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document at the following web address:
http://images.apple.com/support/pages/docs/ePub_Best_Practices_EN.zip
Do either of the following:Use the sample document as a template.Import the paragraph styles from the sample document into a new or existing Pages document.
Export the document you create to ePub format to see how it looks in iBooks.
Preparing an existing Pages document for export to ePub format
Documents exported to the ePub format automatically appear with page breaks before every chapter. A table of contents is automatically generated, which allows readers to jump quickly to any chapter title, heading, or subheading in the book. In order to create a meaningful table of contents, it’s important to apply appropriate styles within your document. The ePub reader uses the paragraph styles to determine which items should appear in the table of contents for your book.
Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template.

Can we have a b2b webshop without Product catalog in it

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario where I dont want to Product catalog on the webshop. Customers log in and just want to see the order history.
How can I set this up.
Please explain if this is possoble.
Thank You

Hi Ram,
yes, you will have to create a catalog without products. This is because the catalog is a required field when creating a new shop in the shopadmin. Only when you use the webshop with an R/3 or ERP backend, no catalog is required at all.
Best regards,
Martin

100 page iPhoto book limit - can this be exceeded?

I have a client who loves iPhoto books, but he needs to print one longer than 100 pages (which is the stated limit on Apple's website).
Which photo service printing company does the iPhoto books for Apple? I'm wondering if I can contact them directly to get a custom book printed.

Gunny:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't believe you can exceed the upper limit as it is probably tied into the page binding limit just like the lower limit of 10 pages. You certainly can inquire via this site: http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/.
Good luck. Post back with the result.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
GarageBand 6.0.5
GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system. But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio. Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

Product Catalog Managent iView throws page can not be displayed error

Hi all,
We are working EP6 SP11 Patch3, also, installed the CRM BP4.0 with SAP logon ticket SSO.
All the iViews are working fine.
But the Product Catalog Managent iView runs only first time when user logged in. Once user click on some other iView and again acess the Product Catalog Managent iView it gives error saying "The page cannot be displayed".
I think it is related to cookie expiration. But if it so then how all other iViews are accessible.
i have also applied note no. 889281
With regards,

RQL Query to get the specific range of product items from product catalog.

Hi All,
I need to do the batch wise query to product catalog.
For that i have use Query builder but that is giving me repeated items, now i wanted to use RQL using rqlStatement.
Please help me in solving the issue.
Query which i have used using QueryBuilder.
                RepositoryView productView = productRepo.getView("product");
                QueryBuilder productBuilder = productView.getQueryBuilder();
                Query productQuery = productBuilder.createUnconstrainedQuery();
                RepositoryItems[] productItems = productView.executeQuery(productQuery,startIndex,endIndex);
Can anybody help me in writing RQL Query to get the specific range of product items from product catalog.

Hi Shakuntala,
There is no executeQuery method defined in RqlStatement Interface, which will accept index for output result.
So As far as I know, what u are trying to achieve is not possible with RQL statements OOTB way.U can consider range of results based on some condition from Repository items.
Please let me know if u find any way to implement it.
Above Query builder should always return different ids if range is not overlapping with previous range.
Please verify that repeated items ids are same or different,
Quoting from API docs:
RepositoryItem[] executeQuery(Query pQuery,
                              int pStartingIndex,
                              int pEndingIndex)
                              throws RepositoryException
    Executes the given query and returns an array of matching RepositoryItems, which are contained within a total potential result set. For example used if one wanted to retrieve elements 50-60 from a query which could return 100 elements.
Regards,
Nitin.

I have a pdf. document with 100 pages. These are white postcards with addresses. I need to move all the address farther to the left. How can I move them all at the same time?

1) I need to drag the same text on 100 pages at the same time to the same place. Is there a simultaneous way I can do this? the pdf file has 100 pages of a 4x 6 posta cards that contain addresses: one address per page, I need to select all addresses and at the same time move them to the same place within the postcard. I can select the text on one card (page) at a time and drag it to the desired place. The PROBLEM is that I need to do it at the same time on every page. otherwise it takes too long. PRODUCT IS ABOBE ACROBAT

This it not the kind of editing task that one should do in a PDF file. It is not meant to be edited in such a way.
You should try to get the original file used to create the PDF, edit it and then create a new PDF from it.
