Import Crystal Reports Dunning letter as SAP Business One layout

Hello,
I have created a dunning letter in Crystal Reports. I want to import this layout as a layout (not a report) in Business One.
Problem is that I don't know the parameters in the report so I can import the layout between the standard PLD layouts (like Dunning 1, dunning 2 dunning 3 dunning all etc). I tried a few but import fails everytime. You also don't get any errormessage when the layout cannot be imported.
Anybody knows what parameters to use in this report? Thanks.
Regards Thijs

Hello Gordon/ Rahul,
Thanks for yor reply.
I already created a Crystal report that runs as a report. In this case you select the WizardName and the report will give an output of all dunning letters in this report.
Unfortunately it is not possible to import this report because when I do that I only get the error that SAP Business One couldn't import the layout. EXporting a layout is af course not possible because only PLD layouts are available in dunning.

Error while 'Crystal Report for Sap Business One' addon started

Hi,
I have try to install Crystal Report for Sap Business One (Addon Versione number 2.0.0.7).
The installatione finish succesfully, but when I started the addOn i retrieve this errore message: External Connection to the dataBase failed. Sap Crystal Addon may not function properly. Please re-run the account setup with superuser login.
I'm logged in Sap with manager (super user), so maybe I have forgot some step in the installation?
I have see the Demo in the Channel Partner Portal, I have note that I have to isntall the CR_Runtime_12_0, but I don't find it, I don't know where I can download this file. I have just installed SapCrystalSetup.exe and registered the Addon like a normal Sap B1 addon.
Where is the error??
Regards
Marco

You must configure in each cliente Pc the connection with the DATABASE.
You must Know the Database Super User (In SQL Server usually sa, and its password, the standard form SAP Business One is SAPB1Admin)
In Administration > Crystal Reports Administration > Account Setup
The CR_Runtime_12_0 is only necesary to view reports, but isn't necesary to start de addon.

Installation of SAP Business One client and required administration rights

Dear community,
I would like to kindly ask you for your feedback on the installation of SAP Business One client and its patches on end-user computers.
The pain points I have heard so far are the following:
- The installation of SAP Business One client and its patches has to be started by a user with administrator rights. As far as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong), this is also required in case of installation of any other software.
- End users usually do not have administrator rights and therefore the SAP Business One clients have to be manually upgraded by administrator. This is time consuming (and therefore costly) activity.
We are considering to design a new solution which would overcome the above limitations.
I would like to confirm with you if my understanding is correct:
Question 1:
Is it a common situation that the end-users of SAP Business One client do not have administrator rights and therefore cannot install the patches of SAP Business One client by themselves?
If yes, how do you resolve this currently?
Question 2:
Do you use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager or Active Directory (or any other 3rd party solution) to automatically distribute software packages and updates to client PCs at your customers?
Question 3:
If the SAP Business One client installation (and its patches) is delivered as MSI package with silent installation capability, would you be able to automate the deployment of B1 client updates to client PC using the abovementioned technologies? Or can you still see some obstacles?
Thank you
Best regards

SAP Business One Product Management

Dear all,
Thank you very much for your comments, very helpful!
@Marco - SAP Business One 8.8 client currently does not support the silent installation / upgrade. However we are currently considering this requirement and we would like to deliver it as soon as possible.
We are currently considering several possible designs. One of them is as follows:
1. A new SAP Business One Updater Service will be installed on each client workstation.
It will be a windows service installed and running under a local system account.
2. The updater service will check regularly if there are any new patches of SAP Business One client or add-ons uploaded to a configured shared directory.
3. If a new patch is found in the shared directory, the updater service will SILENTLY install the new patch (add-ons, SAP Business One) on the client workstation.
The service would be able to install patches even if nobody is logged in.
Questions:
If we consider the above design, there are a few open topics:
1. During the upgrade of the SAP Business One server, the client patches (and SAP add-on patches, partner add-ons) would be placed to a SHARED directory instead of into SBO-Common (as it is implemented currently).
- Does this have any impact on your tools, processes or add-ons?
2. SAP Business One upgrade wizard will put the latest patch of SAP Business One client into a configured shared directory. The shared directory will have to be read-only for everybody in the network to avoid that the valid installation files are replaced by malware or virus infected files
- Can you configure such a shared directory?
From customer perspective, if a new patch is put into the shared directory, the updater service can behave as follows:
1. Manually initiated upgrade of the client
Example: Customer starts the old (not upgraded) SAP Business One client. The client will inform him/her that a new patch has been found and it has to be installed in order to continue working with the client. After customer clicks "Yes", the upgrader service starts the silent installation of the client and informs customer about the progress. Once the upgrade is finished, the upgraded SAP Business One client will be started automatically.
2. Automatic update:
- Update the client automatically (e.g. overnight) if customer is not working with SAP Business One
- If SAP Business One client is running, ask customer if he/she wishes to upgrade the client now or to delay the upgrade by X minutes.
Question: Which of the above two scenarios would you and your customers prefer?
If the upgrade is fully silent, automated and handled by the upgrader service, Is it acceptable for customers to trigger the installation manually and wait till the client is upgraded? Or would they prefer to have the client updated for them e.g. overnight so they can immediately start to work?
Best regards
Jan

Hide and activate fields in SAP Business One

Hi,
How do I see the following in SAP Business one 2007 A?
1 - Where do I see the option of hiding or making a filed mandatory, optional etc.? Can i hide some fields in A/P invoice entry? How do I do that?
2 - How do I create a field or a column which will populate necessary details. For example..How do I create a column named amount in the A/P invoice so that it shows the corresponding amout of the invoice near the column named Invoice number?
3 - How to access a particular column from a table structure? Do I need to write an SQL query for this?
4 - How to pull up a field from a table and make is visible for the users? Do I need to be an ABAP expert for this?
5 - What are stored procedures?
Please let me know!! Thanks

3 - How to access a particular column from a table structure? Do I need to write an SQL query for this?
Try the link below:
how do make link between query and UDF
Yes, you write the query by going to Tools->Query Generator.
You need to know the FMS number for the varialbe AMOUNT you created.
You can know that by turning on debug info View->Ssystem Info, and then placing your cursor on AMOUNT. At the bottom left know its FMS variable number. There are multiple ways of dealing with.
Use the above variable in the Query Generator with a $ sign. Save the query. General (some name)
Then attach the above query to AMOUNT ShiftF2 and click to dril down to saved query and attach it. Choose the type refreshment.
I am missing out on some small details, but you have to try it you will get there.

SAP Business One 2007 - SQL Security best practice

I have a client with a large user base running SAP Business One 2007.
We are concerned over the use of the sql sa user and the ability to change the password of this ID from the logon of SAP Business One.
We therefore want to move to use Windows Authentication (ie Trusted Connection) from the SAP BO logon. It appears however that this can only work by granting the window IDs (of the SAP users) sysadmin access in SQL.
Does anyone have a better method of securing SAP Business One or is there a recommended best practice. Any help would be appreciated.
Damian

See Administrators Guide for best practise.
U can use SQL Authentication mode Don't tick Remember password.

Also, there are samples of how to import invoices as well as other documents that come with the DTW. You may want to reference these for help also.

SAP Business One User licenses

I am developing an addon for B1 and I would like to have the addon check the number of SAP Business One user licenses avaialble. The puspose is to enforce licensing mechanism for the addon. Is there any way I can get to that number using the DI API or somewhere in the SBOCommon database?
This is a big issue for us. I would appreciate any help in this issue.
Thanks
Gopal

C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One ServerTools\License\B1LicenseFile.txt could perhaps be used...
Also most of the time the number of user for the system often are the same as the licenses, but of cause you can make a dummy user that have not got a license
Sorry. My mistake... that can only be done in a single machine system

RSP Processes and Reports adapted to SAP HANA Database
With this plan RSP will help in the areas of Download, Installation, Go-Live Check, Monitoring, Upgrade and Support for SAP Business One both   on SQL Server and HANA.
But like me (non-SAP B1 Consultant) many of you have the question what is RSP and how it helps in support? Here I have tried to gather all information.
What is Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One?
The remote support platform for SAP Business One is designed to protect a SAP Business One installation by providing automated and remote support in a high-volume business.
The platform monitors the entire SAP Business One environment. By significantly reducing the time between the appearance, identification, and resolution of issues, the remote support platform for SAP Business One minimizes the impact on customer databases and processes.
Some Key Features of Remote Support Platform:
Showing alerts to SAP B1 Admin about the events which require their attention, such as low disk space, database backups, etc.
Incident Reports against the issues identified which require attention of SAP Support
Company Database Backup and Restore options
