Hi dear,
Install the crystal report prerequisites on every client machine you want to show crystal reports.
follow the below mentioned steps:
1. The installation disk or folder will contain a single setup.exe
2. Log on to the target PC as an administrator or admin type user (windows).
3. copy the setup.exe to a convenient location on the target PC and run setup.exe
4. Setup exe will install Crystal reports runtime (version 10), Microsoft runtime files and the add-on files. It is recommended that you keep the path selected by the installer. The default installation path for the Add-on files is C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOns\SAP_CR_CRYSTAL_1_10.
5. Once the setup.exe has completed, log on to SAP as manager or any other superuser.
6. Using Administration | Addons | add-On Administration, register the Crystal Add-On, set the desired settings and restart SAP.
7. There is a known issue within SAP where with multiple add-ons starting automatically with a super user, SAP will shutdown as soon as the user logs on. If this issue occurs always log in through the choose company screen. SAP is aware of this issue and will be rectifying this in a patch.
8. Log on to SAP, as a super user.
9. Run Account setup from Administration | Crystal Reports Administration | Account setup
10. Type in the sa password for the SQL server that holds SAP databases, and click Update.
11. Click the u201CCreate Ext Tablesu201D button. Add-on will create the additional tables now (this process must be performed for each new SAP company once).
12. THE TASKS 3 TO 5 and task 10 INCLUSIVE WILL NEED TO BE RUN ON ALL PCS THAT NEEDS THE CRSYTAL ADD-ON. 13. Crystal add-on is ready to use. A help file is provided and you may test the add-on with the sample reports found in u2026\ SAP_CR_CRYSTAL_1_10\SampleReports. The help file can be found in u2026\SAP_CR_CRYSTAL_1_10
this will solve your problem.

  • SAP B1 Crystal Reports Add On and Crystal Report 2008

    Hi,
    I have posted the question at SAP Reporting Forum, but not much luck.
    The following reports is created in Crystal report 2008.
    From  http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008V1/en/CR2008_SP2_Fixed_Issues_en.pdf, I tnocie there could be moemry leak for Sybase Connectivity, but we are using ODBC.
    My client is using SAP 2007 SP00 PL49, SAP Crystal Report Add on is 2.0.0.7 and they have Beas 6.70.07
    They have encountered problem "The request cannot be submitted for background processing" after printing about 8 times of the same reports consecutively.  It is a work order reports which my clients prints for one operations at a time, with each operations generated 8 pages of output.  There are 5 jpeg on the report, which is not huge.
    Yes, I am aware there could be any problem related to that.
    What I notice is, on the workstation with SAP Business One client running, whenever user print a report named "Work Order", in the temp folder it creates one .rpt and 26 tmp files (Note that I have made up the number)
    Work Order {C0ECP901-C6F6.......}.rpt
    ~cpe{51DD9109........}.tmp
    ~cpe{71DD9109........}.tmp
    ~cpe{52DD9109........}.tmp
    ~cpe{53DD9109........}.tmp
    ~cpe{54DD9109........}.tmp
    At the moment, for a temporary solutions, everytimes when the error comes up, my client have to log off from SAP Business One, clear the temp folder and then relogin before they can print the same report.
    Anyone encounter the problem and manage to resolve. it.
    Edited by: Shwu Hua Gan on Aug 12, 2010 8:43 AM

    In case anyone is interested.
    I managed to drill down and get around with the following solutions.  Still in progress of monitoring, but seems to solve part of the problem.
    1. Open up the JPEG in Accessories--> Paint and notice that the JPEG is too big and cannot be seen without adjustting the scrolling bar.  Reduce the image size seems to work.
    2. The report is using dynamic graphic and reading JPEG path from a UDT with column 'type' and 'path'.  Subreport is used with record selection Type='Precheck'. When there was no Precheck type JPEG, it seems to crash.  We have asked client to add in type='precheck' and hyphen in path when it is not applicable.  In that sense, it will return something to the report.
    3. We also have subreport that read material issues.  when there was no material issue in the subreport, it crash.  So, we do the following:
    - section express - tick suppress blank section
    - right click subreport, tick suppress blank subreport.
    - in Subreport, at report option, we select suppress printing when no records.
    Note that workaround in point 3 does not seem to work for pictures.  So, it might be worth suppressing with formulas.

  • Crystal Report Add On

    Dear All,
    I have SAP B1 crystal report add installed in my client computer.  And also i already setup display menu for each user (which module should appear for each user).  The problem is once i run crystal report add on, then SAP B1 will display all menu again for each user while they (user) don't want to see all these unused modules.  Is there any setting to avoid this problem?
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi,
    After staring the Crystal reports addon,again do the form setting for the respective user.
    Then close sap b1 session.
    Now log in sap b1,start the addon,all modules will not be displayed
    I have checked in my test system and i am getting the desired result.
    Kindly let us know if this solves your issue.

  • Crystal Report Add-On not working

    Hello Experts,
    We have freshly installed Crystal Reports Add-On. when we start the add-on it says it is connected but when we try to access any of the forms in the Crystal Reports sap screen comes up with a message window stating
    "There is already an open Datareader associated with this command which must be closed first"
    which does allow any further transactions in crystal reports screens.

  • Crystal report error in SAP

    I have linked my first Crystal report into SAP (2007A), but when I try to run it I get an error. 
    Msg header "SAP Crystal AddOn"....Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms, Version = 12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
    I searched the SAP forums, but found nothing regarding this error. Anybody have an idea how to fix? I can't see my Crystal report.  Does the report need to be stored in a specific location for it to be called from SAP?  I was able to browse to it when I setup the link in SAP.

    Hi Shredder ,
    Actually you should have posted in reporting and printing forum ..anyway close your previous thread too..
    and please take a look at this
    *I copy from the other thread *
    Client you need to install .net framework 3.5 and Crystal Run time to run reports.
    in the client make sure the shared directory is accessible from run without any password
    and in the add on go to report properties and set the path to the shared folder .rpt files and apply changes
    use OLE DB connection

  • Crystal Report add-on Sample Reports

    Hi Experts,
    I am using Crystal report add-on in SAP B1 2007, i would like to know about sample reports for the same.
    has SAP provided any sample reports in crystal report add-on like they have for XL reporter?
    pls. give me the link if anybody knows.

    Hi,
    I have two questions:
    I downloaded some sample reports, and try to connect them with the SBO database. When I use "Set Datasource Connection" I can see that the table in use is called "variance_xtab". This table does not exist in the SBO database, so I cant replace the connection.
    Some of the embedded sample reports you get when installing the CR add-on require a login to the "COIMBRA" database when I try to replace with my own SBO database.
    How can I get around this issues?

  • Crystal Report add-on in SAP2005

    Dear All
    Our customer is on SAP2005A and SQL Server 2000 (they will upgrade to SAP2007,SQL 2005 by the end of
    month) They have 3rd party add-on.
    They installed Crystal report basic 2008 and add the report to SAP by using SAP crystal report add-on
    They can onlyhave 1 user open the report in SAP. Is this a SAP behavior or they may have something
    wrong for the settings?
    They only need one workstation to design the report. So they only install Crystal report basic 2008
    on one workstation. But they need all users can open the reports in SAP. Should they buy more
    license? I need a clear answer for this. I cannot find the document on Portal. Please help. Thanks.

    Hi Neetu,
    Do you wish that at all customer site all concern involved in implemtation do the same work ?
    I believe ERP is meant for single entry system, and it should be true for implementation also, why to invest man hours for the same task ?
    I expect it standard reports should be released by SAP, so that speed of implementation improve, we have more nos. of satisfied customers.
    customised reports is all together different and it is understood that it is needed to be developed after study the exact requirement.

  • Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP  B1

    Hello friends,
                 I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report,  it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
               Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Keyur Raval.

    I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

    There is a very usefull document, HowTo_Work_withCR_88.pdf.
    This should have been in you 8.8 upgrade package.
    This document explains quite a bit about how to create crystal reports and how to import into 8.8 as reports, or layouts.
    Your question is not specific enough for me to answer, but if you re-phrase it, I'll see if I can help.

  • Problem to run the Crystal report inside from SAP B1 based on SQL views.

    Hello,
    I have a problem to run my Crystal report inside from SAP B1 which is based on SQL views.And the SQL views are stored in a separate database in SQL server.The error which i am getting is saying the the tablename does not exist.What i need to do in order to sort this problem.
    Great if somebody can help me to sort out this so that i can run my report based on SQL views stored on separate database other than SAP databases inside from SAP B1.
    Edited by: rozenagrawal on Apr 19, 2011 11:51 AM

    Try using a SQL synonym in your company database for the views outside the company database. I don't know if SBO will let you get away with it, but its worth a shot.
    If your company database is MyCompany and you have a view called MyView in Views database, assuming the view belongs to schema dbo, and you want the synonym to belong to dbo schema in your company database, run this:
    Use MyCompany
    go
    create synonym dbo.OutsiderView for
    Views.dbo.MyView
    go
    select * from OutsiderView
    The select statement should return the contents of MyView in the Views database while you are connected to your MyCompany database.
    For more info, see the Books Online for MSSQL on topic synonym.
    You will need to change your CR options to include displaying synonyms along with tables, views, etc. You may also need to grant select to B1 users.

    Please guide me.

    Hi,
    To be able to report off an SAP data source in Crystal Reports, request the SAP Administrator to set the appropriate authorizations for the user.
    For a list of authorizations that are necessary for each type of SAP connection, consult the document:
    BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Installation Guide
    In the "Authorizations" chapter, there is a description of each authorizations needed for each type of connection and actions.
    ( The document is attached to this SAP Knowledge Base Article in the attachment section )
    In addition to the authorizations specified in the SAP Integration Kit Installation Guide, the following authorizations are required:
    For Authorization object: S_RFC with Field name: RFC_Name. According to the installation guide the values should be: SYST, /CRYSTAL/OPENSQL
    Additionally you will need the value: SUSR as well.
    For Authorization object: ZSEGREPORT with field name: ACTVT. According to the installation guide the value is: 02 (Change)
    Additionally you will need the value: 01 (Create or generate) as well.
    Thank you.
