Counter Sales - Printing Receipt in Local Printer?

Dear All,
We have a Counter Sales scenario. We are using Quick Sale Order for that.
We have around 14 branches in Dubai, Abhudhabi etc.
When a customer comes to a counter, the sales person will book the order and print a invoice on a preprinted stationary in a dot matrix printer which will be located in each counter.
Our issue is the time consumption of printing in the local printer as the every time a request is run, it will go to the server and comes back.
For example, when a person in Abhudhabi prints a Receipt, the request will come to Dubai ( Since the server is in Dubai) and will print in the local printer.
Is there any way to increase the speed of the printing request?
Regards
Merlin Rajesh

The data in the invoice/receipt/order will always have to go from the server to your local printer across the network. Whether direct to your printer from the server, or through your client PC then to the printer.
If the time consumption was inherently caused by the network, you would probably be having serious performance issues.
So my guess is that you are submitting a job to the concurrent manager and the time delay is the time from when you submit the request to when the job actually starts (and completes) then spools to the printer, with the main delay being it waiting in the queue of pending requests. Otherwise it may be how long the print requests are taking to run.
So you need to confirm where problem lies. Check this via the Date Submitted, Date Started and Date Completed on the current request.
If the time delay is between the Date Submitted and Date Started then you could define a new concurrent manager specifically (and only) for handling the print jobs that are time critical via System Administrator > Concurrent Manager > Define (copy the Standard Manager), and create specialization rules that only include your print concurrent programs (Invoice, Receipt). Then on the work shift, change the sleep seconds down to a low value (say 5 or 10 seconds).
PS. An alternative way to do this could be to create a "form" or front end component that gives you the report/format you need in real time, and print directory from your local machine ... but thats gonna take more than 5 minutes to create ;-)

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
AppleScript
--- copy below this line ---
property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
     display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
     return quit
end if
tell application "Pages"
    tell body text of front document
        set wordCnt to count words
        -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
        set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
    end tell
end tell
on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
     tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
     return appNameIsRunning
end ApplicationIsRunning

Counter Sales Application

Hello All,
I need a suggestion on creating a counter sales application, Where in we have to create a custom ZVA1-Sales Order Create Screen for the Counter Sales. For eg: If we go to a store and pick up some stuff and u come to the counter and the guy bills you for the stuff u picked up and if there is not enough stuff availabe at the counter then the guy has to pick it up from the warehouse and you will get a cash reciept for the stuff u bought.
The spec say to build the Custom ZVA1-Sales Order Create Screen for the Counter Sales in module pool.
How can i achieve the same functionality using the PORTAL. I think building an interface to create a sales order is not that difficult.
Please suggest or clarify accordingly..
Thank You,
Suresh

If you create a custom transaction in SAP backend for doing your business process - you can just create a transaction iView in portal side to bring up the same screen as it is in portal. So in portal side you will not have to develop any front end or coding - you can consume the whole R/3 end screen.
If you can not use the R/3 screen for any reason - you can develop Web Dynpro application (or normal Portal Java Applications) to interact with R/3 side and do the processing. In this case you would have to expose your custom function modules as RFC enabled BAPI.
I would go with the first option though if possible. As there the coding would be only in one place and you get rid of duplicating screen generation, validation etc due to that.

What is the BO for Over-The-Counter-Sale?

Hi guys,
I wonder if anybody can tell me where to find the BO in the repository explorer.
I appreciate your help.
In general it is very difficult to find a BO at all. The customer wants a Workcenterview to be changed, so do I start to make an analyze if the change is possible.
But for the first analayze I need to know the BO. How can I determine this in general, do you have any suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance
Erhan

If you need to change a Work Center View, your best bet would be to start with the Configuration Explorer.
There's a number of Over The Counter Sales screens located in SAP_BYD_APPLICATION_UI -> crm -> cinv
Such as CustomerInvoicing_InvoiceRequestsOverTheCounter_WCVIEW

POS Inbound (Sales per Receipt) -Retail Integration

Hi All,
I need to post POS inbound XML file to Retail system, as we dont use the middleware I cant use WPUBON01 IDOC.
Is there any Transaction-Code available in Retail? which I can use BAPI to post POS-Sales per receipt(cash).
I am planning to write ABAP program to convert POS Inboud XML file to SAP Internal tables and use above T-Code(ifany) to do the job.
Appreciate if anyone can help.its really urgent. Thanks.
With Regards
Ashwin

Hi Ashwin
You do not have to convert XML IDoc with ABAP. You can use XML-File port that can be configured in WE21 and put it into EDI partner profile in WE20.

[Acrobat X Pro] File locks and page counts when printing

Hi,
We have two users on Acrobat X Pro Win 7 X32.
On both systems they have the following issues.
1) If they were to print only page 1 for example, they can set a page count of 5 copies and it would be fine. If later on they were to print page 10 and they would also like 5 copies, the page count has reverted to the default 1 copy. It doesn't remember the selection of 5 copies from the previous print.
Is this a bug?
2) File locks occur on all files even if they are specifically closed. The file lock is only removed once they close Acrobat down entirely. This has cause alot of problems. Has Adobe acknowledged this as a fault yet?
Thanks.

Make sure the Preview panel in Windows Explorer is disabled.

How to include Batch Number in Inventory Counting and Print Countsheet

Photoshop CS5 Print Printing problem: print count and print to ICC profile

Since Adobe still haven't acknowledge the printing issue with CS5, I start this thread to report my own problems.
Problem 1:
print copy count is not working. The first print is always one print regardless how many copies you set in the dialog window. The next print will actually print the copies set in the previous print job.
This is a well documented problem, and until today no fix. I am not too worried about this problem because I can always print one copy each time to get job done, until the day Adobe acknowledge and fix the problem.
Problem 2:
when I let the Photoshop manage color and print to a custome ICC profile (generated by Spyer3Print), Photoshop RANDOMLY decides to print a light colored magenta cast picture. It's like Photoshop has used the wrong ICC. Now every time I print a 13x19, I have to pray. Because this thing is so random, I can't even reproduce the problem consistantly.
here's the information about my system:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit (not a fresh system) with 8GB RAM. Printer drivers installed: Canon Pro9000II, Canon MP600, Epson 1400.
I experience problem 2 after I installed CS5 with Epson 1400 printer, but not too frequent. Later on I installed drivers for Epson R1800, Epson R2400, and I mainly print with R2400. All the printer drivers, software updates are the lastest available.
I was a software developer. I wrote windows application before. I am pretty sure the problem is with CS5 based on my knowledge. If I wrote an Windows application that crashs Windows or another party's appliction, I certainly would not blame Microsoft or another party for not writing a bulletproof system. I would try to find a workaround in my own application. That's just my take. Adobe may have different mind set. They are still pointing finger to MS and Epson.

I don't condone the problems, but a workaround I've recently read about for the copy count problem is to do the following, in order:
1. Set the copy count you want.
2. Click the Print Settings... button to enter the printer driver setup dialog.
3. [OK] out.
4. Print
This is reported to get the proper copy count into the print driver and make it "stick". I just tried it and it seems to work.
Keep in mind you may want to go through this again after printing to get the copy count to default back to 1 for the next print.

"reference count underflow" printing NSDocument using "Save as PDF"

Hello, I'm getting a "reference count underflow" error trying to do a "Save as PDF" in a NSDocument class using the printOperationWithSettings method. There are no errors sending to the printer or viewing the output in preview. I found the post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8708986&tstart=0 which was posted a year ago showing a 10 line program with the same error. I've got garbage collection turned on.
Is this still a know problem?
Thanks

Oh I do get the "reference count underflow" when compiling and running the above 10-line program.
If I create a new "Document-based" project and setting "Garbage Collection" to required, add an IBOutlet variable to reference the NSTextField generated, and add the following required method for printing:
- (NSPrintOperation *)printOperationWithSettings:(NSDictionary *)printSettings error:(NSError **)outError
NSPrintInfo *tempPrintInfo = [self printInfo];
if ([printSettings count]) {
tempPrintInfo = [[tempPrintInfo copy] autorelease];
[[tempPrintInfo dictionary] addEntriesFromDictionary:printSettings];
// textField is an IBOutlet variable
NSPrintOperation *op = [NSPrintOperation printOperationWithView:textField printInfo:tempPrintInfo];
return op;
I can print and "Open PDF in Preview" without errors, but get the "reference count underflow" with the "Save as PDF".
The sample application "SimpleStickies" created in 2009-10-14 and has by default Garbage Collection required, gets the same errors.
Is there a simple solution to creating a document-based project that allows "Save as PDF" to work.
This is a common function. I know I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks!

How to receive the count of printed records?

Hey,
I'have got two simple questions:
- Is it possible (with XI .NET-SDK) to receive the count of records which have been printed?
- Is there a printer status window, so that the user can see that there happens something when the application starts printing without preview?
Thank you very much.

Transaction Count (Batch Print) - Documaker

Hello,
We would like to print the # of Transactions on the Banner Begin Page during our Batch Processing. I was planning to use the counters in PreBatchDAL and PreTransaction DAL during Banner Processing to get the # of Transactions that the batch processes.
However I am unable to get that count on the Banner Begin Page.
Appreciate any suggestions on how to overcome this (or if there is an alternate approach). Thank You.

Wow! That was quick. Appreciate you taking time to respond my question. I'll take a look at the ones you have suggested and work on them.
Just so that I am clear in understanding your suggestion - I have to use these functions in the Pre Batch DAL to get the count and use the data to print on the Banner Begin Page.
Thank You.

PO good receipt amt local currency is difference

Dear Experts,
We have 1 PO with USD currency and GR (qty = 1) was posted to local currency.
However, the gr qty (1qty) was posted wrongly. We're using the mvt 122 for return delivery with qty 0.900.
Then, we cancel the matl. document (mvt 122) using mvt 101 in the same posting date.
We found the amt local currency between movt 122 and cancellation 122 (mvt 101) is difference even the qty posted correctly.
How we can adjust the good receipt amt in local curr for this posting ?
Thanks.
fadil

you may get less problems when using the correct cancellation movements.
101 is cancelled with 102.
easiest way to cancel, is to cancel in reference to a material document.
This can be done with MBST transaction of from within MIGO. But it always cancels the material document in total, which is the best way.
just cancelling a part, would not be a cancellation, it would be a new movement.
have you really returned the material physically? Only in that case you should use movements for good returns.
