Column header filtering not functioning for external lists

I have a problem with column header filtering on external lists, specific for columns of Number and Date types.
When the site's regional settings are in English (United States) filtering works fine, but if I choose any other regional setting with different number formatting (ie Dutch) then filtering on these columns gives no results.
When clicking on the column header filter dropdown, the numbers to filter on are displayed with thousands seperators where the numbers in the views are not formatted as seen in attached screenshot.
Filtering on custom sharepoint list with these regional settings is working fine, it is just on external lists, on number and date fields and regional setting is not English.
I have tried all different kind of regional settings on the client and the server, but no results.
Anybody has a clue?
Clicking on the column header shows all available filter values (with thousand seperator). Selecting one value gives no results:
No results after selecting a filter value

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about column filter in external list.
We can use the SharePoint Manager to change the column type to “single line of text”, then you would filter column in the external list.
There is a similar thread for your reference:

Custom column added is not available for Calendar list view in SharePoint 2010

I created a custome column "Breakline" in a custom content type 'SM event", and applied the content type to a Calendar.
The column is listed under the content type "SM event" but it is not listed when I tried to modify the view using the "Breakline" column.
Does anyone know why?

I set "Breakline" hidden because I don't want to show this in create new item form.
I realized that may be the reason. So changed the column to Optional in CT and created a new calendar using that CT. then at list level CT I changed it to Hidden. That works. The column is available for use when modifying view.
Thanks

Column Header Text not displaying for multi-set column block

Hello,
I have assigned a key figure set to a column block in a report writer report in ECC 6 using table FAGLFLEXT with both additional text functionality use and without use of additional text.
I can't get the column headings text for these key figure sets in the column block to appear on a report writer report.
Your assistance in getting the column headings text to appear will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael Hamp

For more clarity, and to make sure that the error is not in my database or series query, I have replicated the error online here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=27270:4
I plotted 3 series in the first region, including one series with no data for one period.
I plotted the fourth series in the second region, which has no data for 2 months. When I try to plot this in the first chart, nothing is displayed.
I can't understand why this is happening, I hope that there is a solution for this. I can share the workspace password where the above application is, if some one wants to take a look.

Lync Edge functional for external client but federation is not working

Hi,
I am working on Lync Edge Server from couple of weeks but unfortunately, I can't federate with Skype and other partners. First of all I want to mention following things:
1. Lync 2013 Front-End Server is fully functional for Internal Users
2. Lync 2013 Reverse Proxy is fully functional for Mobile Users
3. Lync 2013 Edge Server is fully functional for External Users except Federation.
Let me share Edge Server current configuration with you.
1. Lync Edge Pool have two NICs, Internal (Private IP) and External (3 Public IPs with default gateway and External DNS)
2. Host File have entries for Lync front-end server
3. Local CA certificate for Internal Interface and Starfield CA Certificate for External interface with required SAN e.g., acs.domain.com etc
4. Skype is searching my domain URIs but added contact is showing offline in skype
5. Lync 2013 Basic client is showing Presence Unknown for Skype contacts (Skype contacts already merged with Live ID)
6. Test-CSFederatedPartner cmdlet is also giving 504 error while testing from Front-end server.
This is production environment actually so please let me know if I am missing something.

Verify that you configure SRV Record on External DNS {SRV Record _sipfederationtls._tcp.<domain> on port 5061 and SRV Record _sip._tls.<domain> on port 443}
Also Verify that you enable lync federation on Lync topology and publish it
On a Front End server, open Topology Builder. Expand Edge pools, then right click your Edge server or Edge server pool. Select Edit properties.
In Edit Properties under General, select Enable federation for this Edge pool (Port 5061). Click OK.
Click Action, select Topology, select Publish. When prompted on Publish the topology, click Next. When the Publish is finished, click Finish.
On the Edge server, open the Lync Server Deployment wizard. Click Install or Update Lync Server System, then click Setup or Remove Lync Server Components. Click Run Again.
At Setup Lync Server components, click Next. The summary screen will show actions as they are executed. Once the deployment is done, click View Log to view available log files. Click Finish to complete the deployment.
For configuration of lync federation, you can check blow link

Interactive Report (IR) column heading: filtered items number & flashlight

Hello everyone
several hours of searching through the forum did not provide me with leads or answers to 2 questions. Both are related to the IR column heading menu and options. Let's start with a copy of the relevant portion of the interactive report help screen:
Column Heading Menu
Clicking on any column heading exposes a column heading menu.
[snip]
Text Area is used to enter case insensitive search criteria (no need for wild cards). Entering a value will reduce the list of values at the bottom of the menu. You can then select a value from the bottom and the selected value will be created as a filter using '=' (e.g. column = 'ABC'). Alternatively, you can click the flashlight icon and the entered value will be created as a filter with the 'LIKE' modifier (e.g. column LIKE '%ABC%').
List of Unique Values contains the first 500 unique values that meet your filters. If the column is a date, a list of date ranges is displayed instead. If you select a value, a filter will be created using '=' (e.g. column = 'ABC').
Q1: Why do I not see a flashlight icon? I looked everywhere in the report definition to "enable" it, to no avail.
Q2: Although we've found IRs to be incredibly useful and embraced by end users, we are having issues when dealing with large datasets. Let's look at searching for people's first/last name in our CONTACTS table. The table is ~28,000 names long. If one attempts to use Column Heading menu to "filter" for any name outside the first 500 unique values, the search does not work. Yes, I know that a workaround is to use Actions Menu icon filter... but, it sure is misleading to have a search which does not go beyond letter B in the list of last names. Furthermore, I do not see a way to DISABLE Column Heading Text Area, and avoid user confusion.
I suspect that "List of Unique Values contains the first 500 unique values" was set for the performance purposes. Is there a way to set that number anywhere? Have it customized for each column? (columns county and state could be <100, for example)
Thanks an advance to any advice.
Vojin

@Prabodh: what you say is only changing the default image for the column selector at the search bar level. What i think is being looked for is an icon on the popup when a column header is clicked in an IR. Don't bother: there is none.
@Vojin, Tonibony:
I also ran into this problem with IRs and the useless column header box. If you want to hide the unique values list, it is a bother. First of all, you can't disable the finding of values, this is embedded in the widget ajax code. Then if you want to just hide the list, there is no real event you can hook up to. The poping up of the box is an ajax callback, and is part of the IR javascript, but this callback does not trigger any event (no apexafterrefresh for example, which is understandable). I've worked around this by overriding/extending the method which is called when ajax is done loading within the IR code. Here is a piece of code which does this (call it on page load):
   // _Finished_Loading is called when the IR is done with a GET action
   // because the posts are synchronous in this report, and no events
   // or hooks are available, the best way to preserve functionality
   // yet extending it is to override the original function, yet
   // keep the base code
   // apexafterrefresh cant be used since it is not triggered after
   // the widget ajax
   var or_Finished_Loading = gReport._Finished_Loading;
   gReport._Finished_Loading = function(){
       //overriden, but still have to call orinigal!
      or_Finished_Loading();
      //SORT_WIDGET is the widget containing all the header elements
      if(gReport.current_control=='SORT_WIDGET'){
         // hide the original dropdown box
         $("#apexir_rollover_content").hide();
   };If you're interested, i've recently developed a plugin for use in my interactive reports which works around some of these limitations. For me, the headers are much more userfriendly than the actions > filter menu. So what i've done is: hide the orignal dropdown, and turn the searchfield into an autocompletion field, which will progressively search through the distinct column values in the IR with ajax. I've even made an option to have the searching behave like a "contains" or a "like". I'm working on a post about it, with background, documentation and source code. I'll add a post here when i finish it up, you can see if that helps you.
I also would like to add a button later on which will simply add the entered value as a "like %value%" filter. I know how to do this and what to do, i'm just a bit short on time at the moment. I actually think that adding the button in the layout may be the hardest part... :')

Billing document not relenvent for invoice list

Dear forum members,
For one sales area I can create a invoice list from a billing document, but not for the other.In debug mode first one is relevent for invoice list processing ( VBUK-RELIK), but for another sales area ,thus staus is not relevent.
Partner detemrination was different for both the above sales area.This was the only differnce. Partner determination is correct in both.What can be the other possible reasons for the status NOT RELEVENT for invoice list.
Best Regards,
Kanwal

Dear Goyal,
-->Check the configuration settings if you are using diffirent Invoice documents in two sales areas.
IMG Path is SPRO>Sales and Distribution>Billing>Billing documents>Invoice lists.
-->Check the data in the customer master in the transaction VD02.
Go to Sales area data tab-->Billing document here you check whether you are maintaining the Invoice list dates or not.
-->Check the Partner determination procedure assignment to the Invoice List type at Header level and item level.
Because you are mentioned that partner dtermination wad different.
Header assignment path.
IMG>SPRO>Sales and Distribution->Basic functions>partner determination>set up partner determination.>Set up partner determination for billing header-->Prtner determination procedure assignment.
Item assignment path
IMG>SPRO>Sales and Distribution->Basic functions>partner determination>set up partner determination.>Set up partner determination for billing item -->Prtner determination procedure assignment.
I hope it will help you

Rich text data type for external list

Hi,
I need to create an external list with one column as rich text type where they can highlight the text and all.
How this can be done, since with external lists the column is rendered as single line of text?

Hi,
External content types are made up of fields whose types are a subset of the primitive types of .NET. For each such .NET type, a rudimentary mapping to SharePoint’s field controls exists, describing a field’s visual appearance. Fields of type string for
instance will, on the new and edit forms, render as a single-line text field. With regular lists, using the browser interface, you can easily turn a string field into a multi-line text area or a Rich Text field, but not so with external lists. At least not
unless your forms are InfoPath-based.
Please take a look at these resources:
Evaluating Business Connectivity Services in SharePoint 2010 for web service, read/write use
Customizing the External list
Multi line text box in External List edit form
Reference:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0fcb5a9f-8445-4a37-9e60-ac5e9e14e8f1/sharepoint-designer-external-content-type-shows-single-line-text?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious

Posting in foreign currency not allowed for external tax system

Hello all,
I created a purchase order for inter-company stock transfer. Then created a corresponding outbound delivery and goods issue using VL10h and completed goods issue. Then I completed good receipt using MIGO. When I was trying to create a sales order I got this message "Posting in foreign currency not allowed for external tax system". What could be the reasons for this message. The message number said FS885.
One final note. I am able to create Billing document with manual batch number input in Delivery document item. But when I am using Batch split I am not able to generate invoice. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem here.

Hi Samir,
The Goods Received NI (Allocation Cost Account) need to be balaned in Local and System Currency as this is a Multi Currency account and these are the currencies that Business One will offer reports in.
The Foreign Currency for this account is irrelevant as you can never get a balance in FC for a multi currency account, neither will you find any reports for this.
If the client insists you can create a manual Journal entry in FC only to correct this. Business One does not offer any functionality to correct the Foreign Currency in this scenario. (like Exchange Rate difference for Local Currency and Conversion Differences for System Currency)
To do the manual JE open the form settings and the tab 'table', here untick the box 'From FC Field'. This will enable you to create a FC JE only.
Hope it clarifies the issue.

Limit PO Err Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services

Hi,
I am having a problem while replicating free text Limit PO's to R/3 in SRM 4.0 SP 13. The issue is while creating Free Text Limit SC with the "Confirmation and Invoice" option checked in, the PO's get created in SRM but fails while replicating to R/3 and in RZ20 errors as "Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services" although in vendor master i don't have check for the field "GR-Based Invoice Verification".
On the contrary while creating SC with the "Invoice Only" the PO is successfully replicated to R/3 with item category as B for limit orders.
Now i have noticed if i make changes in the vendor master data i.e. check the flag "GR-Based Invoice Verification" then the PO in my first scenario gets replicated successfully and also with respect to the second scenario but it gets replicated in both the scenarios as item category "D".
As far as SRM standard it should have ideally behave like the below:
Limit SC with GR AND Invoice -> item category D
Limit SC with invoice only -> item category B.
Now my question is why do my PO's fail in R/3 in the first scenario and also if i check the flag in vendor master for GR-Based Invoice verification then in the second scenario the item category is "D" instead of "B".
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Informus,
Please check if it is allowed in AllowedOOFType of the Remote Domain *
In Exchange 2013, the only way to see or change the current configuration for automatic replying and forwarding to the Internet is via the Exchange Management Shell (EMS) with PowerShell commands.
To get the currently configured Remote Domains, use:
Get-RemoteDomain
Name                           DomainName
AllowedOOFType
Default                        *
External
Get-RemoteDomain Default | fl AllowedOOFType, AutoReplyEnabled, AutoForwardEnabled
AllowedOOFType     : External
AutoReplyEnabled   : False
AutoForwardEnabled : False
To change the settings, use the Set-RemoteDomain command.
Enable automatic replies
Set-RemoteDomain -AutoReplyEnabled $true
Enable automatic forwards
Set-RemoteDomain –AutoForwardEnabled $true
Enable OOF for Outlook 2003 and previous (for Exchange 2007 and 2010 support)
Set-RemoteDomain –AllowedOOFType $ExternalLegacy
To change all these properties at once, you can use:
Set-RemoteDomain Default -AutoReplyEnabled $true –AutoForwardEnabled $true –AllowedOOFType $ExternalLegacy
Note:
Valid settings for the AllowedOOFType property are:
External
This is the default and only allows for the new style OOF messages as introduced in Outlook 2007.
ExternalLegacy
This settings allows for both the new style and old style OOF messages and needs to be set if you want to enable external OOF support for Outlook 2003 as well.
None
This setting doesn’t allow for the use of OOF messages at all (both internal and external).
InternalLegacy
This setting only allows for internal OOF messages to be sent for all Outlook versions.

Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services

Hi,
I need to uncheck the field GR-Based IV (EKPO-WEBRE) in the SERVICE PO but I receive the message :
"Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services"
I want to allow the user to receive Invoices (MIRO) before the Service Entry (ML81N).
Thanks.
Carlos Durazo

HI,
This is a "hard coded" option and cannot be removed.
If you want to be able to post invoices for services before the GR (acceptance) then you could consider using "normal" POs for these (without item category "D") abd use material masters (DIEN material type) or describe the service in text.
External services POs are only really suited to complex services or services that need a two step GR process (Service entry and acceptance).
Far too many organisations use the service entry sheet option when "normal POs" would be far better.
