Crystal report layout printing issue

Hi Experts
I have a bit of an urgent issue which I can't seem to solve.
I have created a print spec using crystal reports 2008 sp3.  I am trying to print it using an epsom dot matrix printer which is brand new. When I print from crystal reports itself, I have managed to get it printing perfectly. However, as soon as I run it through SAP, the orientation either goes out or it only prints 3/4 of the width of the page and to much as far as the being goes...
There are other print specs which have been created using pld which print fine.
Does anyone know the solution to this issue?

Hi,
To print Crystal report correctly on dot matrix printer is really a challenge for B1. You have to try everything possible to make it happen. Try search the forum first. There are quite a few discussions about it. However, solution is rare.
Thanks,
Gordon

  • SAP B1 Collection Report's crystal report layout printing format

    Hi all,
    We're having an issue in Crystal Report fro SAP Business One - for the Collection (aged-debt) report.
    The report is basically doing the following when previewing it in SAP Business One.
    It prints the header information etc on the first page and then the detailed information filling up the page as expected - it then prints more lines (not filling up the page - maybe 10 lines or so) from the detailed section to the second page (without any headers etc) - then the third page contains headers again with the detailed line data and the fourth then has a couple of lines but without any header data - and so on...
    We've checked the standard page settings - all looks fine.We've checked the section expert - again can't see anything particularly bizarre. It's as though Crystal thinks the page is actually ending someway down the second page!
    Has anyone come across a similar scenario and what would be the solution to this sort of issue?
    Many thanks,
    Mohsen

    Hi Mohsen,
    You may check Selection Expert - Paging tab to see if they have been changed. What is the setting for Report header and Page header?

    Hi Detleff,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio
    Editor. Based on your Crystal Reports printing issue, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue. Therefore,
    I suggest you can ask your issue directly on SAP Crystal Reports:

  • Crystal report Export/Print issue with Non default websites

    Hello ,
    I have an issue and its driving me nuts.
    My problem i guess with the crystal reports. Might also be with IIS.
    We have developed an website on VS2008. This website is configured on IIS 8.5
    The server on which iis8.5 runs is a virtual server.
    I have configured the website to run as two different virtual directories as mentioned below;
    1) To run under default website (servername/virtualdirectory)
    2) To run under complete separate website (www.abc.com/virtualdirectory)
    if i  run crystal report using the servername/virtualdirectory, then the report is rendered fine and i can export the results also to any format and print successfully.
    But when i run the crystal report using www.abc.com/virtualdirectory, then the report renders fine but i cannot export the results nor print. Nothing happens when i click the export button.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    In addition to Don's suggestion. Remember that almost any action in the viewer will cause a post back - including clicking on the export button. If the report is not in session, the post back may fail and nothing will happen. See the following code on how to place a report object into a session:

    Hi,We have a have Crystal Report created in Crystal Report 8. The report is accessed through a VB6 application.The users view the report using Crystal Viewer. Currently we have an issue where the report is generated without any errors and all sections are displayed to the screen. However when the users print the report one section does not print. All other sections print apart from this one.This does not happen on all machines, only a select few. However there does not seem to be any noticable difference between the machines.Anyone come across this issue in the past and could shed any light on the problem?Kind RegardsAndrew Black

  • Huge delay in Printing Crystal Report Layout

    Good Day Experts,
    I am experiencing big delays when printing a document that makes use of a Crystal Report Layout Design.
    For example,
    The Sales Quote is set to automatically print when added by the user.
    When clicking 'Add', SAP freezes up and only about 30 seconds later does the printer finally print the document.
    During that time, the user cannot use SAP at all.
    The layout does have a lot of fields and a few formulas here and there.
    Logically, I am thinking that that is the reason for the delay, as SAP needs to calculate and populate those fields.
    Is there any other way that I could speed up this process? Or if you know what might be causing this speed issue?
    Your assistance will be appreciated,
    Thanks

  • Crystal Report Layout asking for Login Info

    I have modified the Delivery Note Crystal Report Layout for Business One by clicking the Edit button on the Report and Layout Manager for Delivery Note (Items).  I then saved my modifications to a file.  Finally, I go into Business One and import the Layout for Delivery Note (Items).  When I preview the Layout it asks me for login information then continues to fail.  How dow I make it so I can print the Delivery without having to constantly log in?

    Hi Jeff,
    I recently had a similar problem on an 8.82 implementation, having contacted and spoken to SAP Support multiple times these suggested fixes worked:
    The request to login to the database when you open or print preview a Crystal
    report is a known issue. To resolve this, I recommend you go through our Root
    Cause Analysis (RCA) guide. Please see attac hed Note 1676353 on where to find
    this. There are four Cases in this guide (which contain a number of Influences)
    - please go through all Cases and Influences.
    We also tried the following:
    STEP 1:
    Influence 2: Case 2 is to clear all the data for login (e.g. sa and
    password - delete them) and then ticked 'Integrated Security#.
    - Influence
    3: #: Check the current datasource is to update connection.
    - Retest opening
    the system reports on a workstation.
    - If they are still reporting an error
    try the next step
    - STEP 2:
    - Change the datasource location of
    the report from OLE DB to SAP Business One type and leave the
    authentication
    information blank. Try running the report in Crystal, and then import to SAP.
    And also opened up the Crystal Report via the Edit button in SAP in Reports and Layouts Manager, we then clicked on the database connection and updated all the tables (even though they were the same) and these got the reports needed working. Speaking to SAP it is a known bug and they are releasing a hotfix to resolve it, but try explaining that to a customer !!!
    Hope these help.

  • How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

    Dear Experts,
    I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
    I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
    {ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
    Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

    I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
    It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
    (I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

  • Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout

    Dear All,
    Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout.
    In sales quote layout the rows are doubled. Even in the standard layout. If the quote contains only two rows. Then it is doubled as 4 rows in the crystal report layout.
    It is happening in the particular database. Other database are working fine. I request you people to help me to overcome this issue.

  • Importing Crystal Report layout for customer statements

    Hello,
    I have imported a crystal report layout to use for the customer statements when running them from the ageing report.  The problem is even if we only select one business partner in the ageing report, when we print preview the statement it displays statements for all business partners - this is because in the crystal report there are no parameters.  I know that when you import a layout like this for other documents you need to use for example, {ORDR.DocEntry}={DocKey@} as the parameter however the customer statements don't have a docentry.  When I look at the system statement layout (collection layout), when you run the report you get an ADO.NET (XML) connection prompt.  Is it possible to use the crystal layout i have for the customer statements but for only the customer(s) showing on the ageing report?
    Many thanks,
    Kate

    So just to make it clear,
    you want an overview of open invoices from 1 customer.
    If so, try this in crystal reports :
    Create a parameter field (field explorer)
    Name : CardName
    Type : String
    Value : Static
    do not select a value field (none)
    press ok.
    Select expert
    Create new
    Starts with
    type this : {?CardName}
    press add
    Click formula editor and make it look like this :
    {OINV.DocStatus} = "o" and
    {OINV.CardName} startswith {?CardName}

    Hi,
    In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
    If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.

  • Number of Copies in Crystal Report Layout

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to show the number of copy in a Crystal Report layout?
    I mean: I am creating an invoice layout in Crystal Reports for SAP Business One 8.8.
    Customer wants to print always 3 copies, but with the word "Copy" in second and third document.
    I can set the number of printed copies but... is it possible to include a reference of what number of copy is every document?
    Sorry for any language mistake.
    Kind Regards,
    Toni Dorta

    Hi Toni,
    If the customer always prints  3 copies of the Invoice, here is what you could do. You could design your Crystal Report to always print 3 copies. That is, if your Invoice has 1 page, then design your Crystal Report to Print 3 pages every time. On the 2nd and 3rd page, you include the word "Copy" to indicate that they are copies.
    Once you have modified the report, change the No: of Printed copies to 1. This when the customer prints the report, it will always print 3 copies of the report and have the word "Copy" on the 2nd and 3rd invoices.
    Hope this helps.

  • Page Not Found Error when clicking on Crystal Report Viewer print icon

    Hi,
        I am working with ASP.NET 2.0 and crystla reportXI release2.
        I am getting "Page Can not be Found " error when clicking on Crystal Report Viewer print icon.
        Could you please tell me how to get rid of this error?
    Regards,
    Smitha

    This sounds like a postback issue. Does your application handle postback by putting the report in session?
    There is a [sample|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/CrystalReports_dotNET_SDK/crsdk_samples_aspx/data/crsdk_net_tutorials_115_en.zip] to look at on our website. It was created with Crystal Reports XI R2 and Visual Studio .NET but the code will be the same.
    A short pseudocode would be something like this:
    Dim rptDocument As ReportDocument
    If Not Me.IsPostBack or Session("Report") = Nothing Then
    rptDocument = New ReportDocument
    rptDocument.Load(sGlobalPath & "\myreport.rpt";)

  • Purchase Order Crystal Report Layout Error

    The stock Crystal Report Layout for Purchase Orders is giving me the following error:
    A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.
    Details: errorKind
    Error in File POR20002 {b89f97ad-bf1f-447b-8bb4-b3d2e5219269}
    {3C375C81-7D37-475D-9BCB-1703CE533B65}.rpt
    Error in formula N_Decimal_Places:
    '// To get the length of decimals
    A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.
    Details: errorKind
    I looked in the Crystal Reports Formula fields and could not find N_Decimal_Places.
    Has any one else had the problem with the PO layout that comes with Business One?  If so, how did you fix it?

    Couldn't find how to copy the PO layout over using copy express.
    I did compare the RDOC fields for POR20002 in both databases and they are Identical. 
    In Crystal Reports, I did a formula search for N_Decimal_Places and it found nothing.  Then I did a search for 'length' in all formulas and it finds length in N_Decimal_Places.  When I double click on N_Decimal_Places it clears the screen and never shows the formula. This happens in both layouts for my test database and SBODemoUS.
    Again, SBODemoUS works correctly and AAA_TEST give the error.
