Crystal Reports - Aggregation and Sub-report design for reconciliation

Hello,
I apologize for posting the question in this form (I am new to Crystal reports - so am trying to get my hands around the development)
I created two crystal reports
1. Report on top of BW
Fields:
A. Company Code
B. Vendor
C. Local Currency
D. Total Amount
2. Report on top of ECC
Fields:
A. Company Code
B. Vendor
C. Local Currency
D. Total Amount (This is a formula, as I used the total amount and debit/credit indicator to get the negative sign for amount)
Once I have created these two reports,
The first question is,
In the second report for the combination of the three characteristics mentioned above I have multiple rows, how can I aggregate them similar to BW where I have one row for a given combination.
The second question is,
I created a third report and I used the option you mentioned earlier "Insert --> Sub-report". When I used this option I selected the first report on top of BW and inserted it into Data Field and then used the same option to insert the second report on top of ECC and inserted it in Data field below the first report.
Once I had these reports inserted, I created formula fields in the third report for the following fields
1. Company Code
2. Vendor
3. Local Currency
4. Total Amount
From here on, I am not sure how can I link the fields from the above reports to the third report and also how can I do reconciliation between these two reports.
I really appreciate your help in this regards.
Thanks
Dharma.

Hi,
The first question is,
In the second report for the combination of the three characteristics mentioned above I have multiple rows, how can I aggregate them similar to BW where I have one row for a given combination.
>> You could create Groups in Crystal Reports and create totals in the report on top of ERP.
The second question is,
I created a third report and I used the option you mentioned earlier "Insert --> Sub-report". When I used this option I selected the first report on top of BW and inserted it into Data Field and then used the same option to insert the second report on top of ECC and inserted it in Data field below the first report.
Once I had these reports inserted, I created formula fields in the third report for the following fields

2. Vendor
3. Local Currency
4. Total Amount
From here on, I am not sure how can I link the fields from the above reports to the third report and also how can I do reconciliation between these two reports.
>> Whats the source of the third report ? ERP or BW ?
You can use the Subreport Linking feature (right click on the report in the context menu) to setup the linking from the main report to the subreport

  • Difference Between Crystal Report Template and Sub Report

    I am not able to get the Report Template Option/menu.
    I am working with Visual Studio 2005 , Crystal Report Version 10.2
    Do i need to have Crystal Report Server in order to work with Template.
    Also i will like to know the diff. between Template and Sub Report?

    Hello,
    The Report Template Wizard is not part of Crystal in .NET. You need to upgrade to the full version of Crystal Reports.
    Template is a base report to work from. Subreport is another report object that can be inserted into a section of the main report.
    Thank you

  • Report Optimization and Sub Reports

    Post Author: olaszb
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Hello,I am currently working with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and have questions about optimization.  We have a dataset (.NET) generated from Oracle and then passed to Crystal.  For our largest report it is taking 15 seconds for the dataset to be generated, but over 3 minuets for Crystal to generate the report.  We have 14 sub reports within this report.  I'm pretty certain this is the bottle neck.Any sub report optimization suggestions?  Would arrays be the way to go instead?

    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    I went through the report and suppressed all sub reports and this cut the time down by 1/3 but still too slow.  On our largest report we are getting 376 pages and with the sub reports suppressed there are 263 pages returned.  Does anyone know if still goes through/caches the info of a sub report even if the report is suppressed?

  • Crystal 6.0 : How to hide the Page footer and Page Header of the Main Report on the Sub report.

    Post Author: pranay
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Hi ,
    I have a Main report and a Sub report .  When a subreport spans across multiple pages , the page header and page footer of the main report gets displayed along with it . I want to hide the Page Footer and Page Header of the main report when a sub report is displayed . Is there any way it could be acheived in Crystal Report 6.0.

    I am assuming you are talking about the JSControl dropdown menu navigation. The easiest way to hide Community pages is to disable the Below Banner View for that navigation scheme, although it also disables the Subcommunties, Related Communities and Go up to Parent Community links. If you still want these in below the banner menu you could not display Community Pages in the "In this Community" tab and only leave the "Community Members and Knowledge Directly" link in there.
    You would think that it would be better to remove the "In this Community" tab althogether but it is tricky to remove it due to the fact that there needs to be a default horizontal menu displayed all the time. Not all Communities will have a Subcommunities or Related Communities tab so these communities would not display any below banner menus at all if there is no "In this Community" tab, which could be confusing.

  • Same Query for both Main and Sub Report

    I have a report whichs works but I don't think i'm getting the data to both the Main Report and Sub Report in the most effcient manner...  I have a report that totals users call subject counts.  But then end user wishes to see all users total counts and the grand totals of call counts on the first page then then the breakdown of types of calls on subsuquent pages...  so I created a report with a subreport in the report header....  I use the same query in both the sub and main report... however it asks the user to enter the parameters once for the main report and once for the sub report... Parameters are both the same for each; month and year...  so it currently runs the query twice I want to run it once and use the data for both reports...  I group by name and then sum the call subject counts for the user totals... and in the sub report I hide the detail section and I'm just left with the sub total line for each user, then in the main report use the same grouping and suming again and I start a new page for every user... 
    Using CR 9
    Thanks for any advice
    Vincent

    i think you need to link the main report parameter with the subreport parameters inorder to pass the parameter values from main report to subreport. So right click on subreport and go to change subreport links and add parameter fields and select parameter fields from your subreport and un check the databse fields in subreport.

  • Crystal Report Hyperlink to Sub-report or other report

    Hi,
    I would like to create a report on which the first part will show project summary page. The second part will have all project detail pages and third part with all project financial informations.
    The report should work in such a way whenever user clicks on any project at first summary page this has to jump to corresponding detail page of projects.
    I have the following question regarding design of this report.
    1. Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
    2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
    3. back hyperlink to first pages.
    I am expecting more information about hyperlink options within Crystal report.
    Thanks
    -Sunil Prasad

    Hi Sunil
    - For your first question: . Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
    You can create a separate report and then insert it as a subreport in the main report or create it with sub report wizard.
    Once you click on Insert -> Subreport, you can see there are two options, one is to point to an existing report and another is to create it through wizard.
    - 2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
    You can use the hyperlink between report objects.  Also you can apply a customized formula for this.
    Check the below SAP Notes:

  • Report containing 15 sub reports crashing - Crystal Reports 2008

    I am using Crystal report 2008 with all latest service packs applied. I have more then 20 different reports wich work absolutely fine and never crash. One of my report contains 15 sub reports since its bringing data from 15 different queries. This consistently keeps crashing everytime I try to run it. Not sure what could be the root cause.
    We are using Postgres database and connected to it with  ODBC connection using Microsoft DSN.
    - All Subreport data is being displayed on Report Footer
    - All subreports are included in the Main report  page header section. (I have also tried doing it on report footer section but it still crashes)
    I have tried searching through the forum and did not find similar issue resolutions. Did someone face similar problems before?
    The crash message is:
    "crw32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry of the inconvenience."
    Error report contains this data:
    AppName: crw32.exe      AppVer: 12.2.0.290      ModName: psqlodbc35w.dll
    ModVer: 9.0.2.0      Offset: 0004c538
    I am using Windows XP
    Crystal Report Version Details:
    CR Developer Version 12.2.0.290
    Product Type: Full
    Let me know how can I debug this issue? Any help is appreciated.

    @Don - We performed extensive testing for this crash issue and found that now this crash is not happening only in one scenario. So we have partially fixed this.
    Now the report crashes if I get disconnected from database and reconnect. This is what happens
    1. open the report in crystal report 2008
    2. try to run the report when db is connected- it works fine.
    3. Now disconnect the database (we are using ssh tunnel to connect to db so we just close the tunnel)
    4. now try to refresh the report - it fails to retrieve data.
    5. Now close the report without saving it.
    6. Now Close Crystal Report.
    7. Now Connect the DB using ssh tunnel so crystal report can connect.
    8. Now open Crystal Report
    9. Launch the target report.
    10 Preview the report - it works for first time.
    11. Now do a refresh keeping same parameters - Report crashes here.
    - I tried these steps with some of my other reports and they do not crash.
    - Now I have only one report which contains a Postgres Query with date range,order by and a union join.
    - No subreports now - I am trying to run this one subreport as a standalone report which I created from scratch(using blank report wizard) and just copied the query.
    Any more pointers would help.

  • Converting a Crystal Report with Many Sub-Reports into CF Report Builder

    I am trying to rewrite a Crystal Reports report which has 11
    subreports in CF Report Builder. In the CR report, each subreport
    has it's own report footer seciton. I have not been able to find
    anything in CF Report Builder that allows me to do the same. Is CF
    Report Builder capable of producing a report with multiple
    subreports?

    Having successfully created a report with 5 or 6 subreports
    (with each sub-report containing a multiple sub-sub reports) I can
    say with confidence, "Yes you can." However the real question you
    should ask is, "
    Should I create a report with multiple sub-reports in CF
    ReportBuilder?" And the answer to that is.... NO, WHAT ARE YOU
    CRAZY!
    If you have something that works in Crystal Reports I would
    suggest you stick with that. Otherwise you're setting yourself up
    for a lot of headaches. Now maybe it was because I started using
    the report builder that came with MX7, but it seems there are still
    quite of few bugs that will leave you shaking your fist at your
    computer. If however you do continue and do the CF Report Builder
    route, be prepared for your application to crash unexpectedly, and
    for many things to not work they way you expect them to. And if you
    ever need help good luck. Take the fact that you had difficulty
    finding good documentation as a sign of how little Adobe supports
    this product.
    CF Report Builder is fine for very simple reports, but don't
    get fancy with it, you'll only regret your decision in the
    end.

  • Displaying report that contain sub report

    iam using main report that has sub report but when displaying the main report in crystal report viewer the section of the sub report is shiffted to the right.
    what can i do?
    Best Regards,
    Rabab

    David,
    The easiest way to do this would be to build a query in Access that provides this for you. You can do it easily using a two query approach.
    QueryNo1:
    SELECT
    TransactionTable.TransactionID
    FROM TransactionTable
    WHERE TransactionTable.Price < 0 OR TransactionTable.Quantity < 0
    QueryNo2:
    SELECT *
    FROM TransactionTable
    WHERE TransactionTable.TransactionID IN [QueryNo1.TransactionID]
    This will give you all of the TransactionID's that have a negative transaction associated with it.
    Once you have the query completed to your satisfaction and saved, you can use it as your data source in CR. CR will see it as a View. If you make it a parameter query, CR will see it as a Stored Procedure.
    Hope this helps,
    Jason

  • How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?

    <p>You can do a couple of things - one would be to pass the information using the data linking expert.  Right click on the subreport, choose &#39;Change Subreport Links&#39; and select the field(s) you are wanting to pass to the subreport.  CRW will build parameters and a record selection formula for you in the subreport, and if that&#39;s what you want, then great.  But you can also remove the selection formula from the subreport and work with the parameter fields in the subreport however you would like.</p><p>Alternatively, you can look to passing Shared variables back and forth from the main and subreport.  this link talks about the method to do this: http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/251</p><p> </p>

  • How can I have Main report with a sub-report with in a sub-report??

    I have a main report that has about 5 subreports, almost like a dashboard.  I need to make one of those subreports contain another subreport.
    I don't have the option to add a sub-report with in my sub-report, so what I thought would work is remove my sub-report from my main report, then add my new sub-report, then add that report back to my main report.
    Everytime I add the sub-report that has a sub-report to my main report I lose the second sub.
    From what I've read on the internet is you can't have a sub-report contain another sub-report.  What some say is you can hyperlink that second sub report.
    When I setup my hyper link to open the second sub-report I'm prompted to re-enter my report parameters.
    Can some help me link a sub-report to a sub-report or show me how to pass a date range parameter in my hyper link so the reports just opens up?
    I'm using CR IX R2
    Thanks

    Nate,
    You are dealing with a product limitation.  Crystal cannot have nested subreports within a sub report. 
    You can generally use shared variables between sub reports to achieve your desired result

  • Can 10g OAS run 10g Report server and 6i reports together?

    Re-posted from the OAS thread: Can 10g OAS run 10g Report server and 6i reports together?
    We have need to run 6i and 10g reports from the same physical server running OAS 10g.
    Are there issues / conflicts?
    There are hundreds of 6i reports called from many applications. Converting completely is a separate project on the books.
    The need is to utilize 10g graphs on this urgent project. The graphing in 6i has not gotten along here with RAC and other distributed architecture. Additionally, I believe the 6i graph runtime would have to be installed on each client workstation... again, hundreds.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    You can install OAS 10g and Reports 6i on the same server as long as they are installed in different ORACLE_HOME ..

  • Linking of Main and Sub Reports

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to integrate all the crystal reports (say 10 nos) into one single main report for the statutory purpose as per the client requirement. Basically client would like to view all these ten reports in single file by export them into single PDF. These sub reports are also going to work as an individual reports independently and having their own prompts. The data source for these reports is SAP BEx queries.
    Please let me know best approach for integrating these reports, since user doesnu2019t want to
    pass the values for duplicate prompts. Please note there are common prompts (BEx variables) across these sub reports.
    I have done the PoC for linking single sub report using Xtreme data base and here are my results.
    1.      Create a Blank Main reports and create a Country Prompt.
    2.      Link the sub report with main report using this Country Prompt.
    3.      Link the sub report with main report prompt and edit the sub report selection formula with the main report prompt u2013 u201C{Customer.Country} = {?Pm-?Which Country?}u201D
    4.      While refreshing the report, it will refresh the sub report based on the main report prompt value and shows corresponding data.
    5.      This approach works for single report and gives the expected results and asks only single time prompt selection.
    Challenges On the above approach while implementing using BEx Queries as a data source are:
    u2022      We need to equate the SAP BEx characteristics to this prompt:
    Ex:       = {?Pm-?Which Country?}
    That means we should have set of BEx queries which doesnu2019t have variables. At run time filters will be assign based on the main report crystal reports prompts. Again there could be some mandatory prompts and optional prompts and multi values etc.
    Will it affect the performance of the Crystal report while you apply filters at report level instead of BEx query level?
    u2022      We donu2019t want to modify the individual sub reports selection formulas and queries for linking purpose.
    Please let me know youu2019re best solution approach for the above issue.
    Thanks in Advance

    If I understand correctly the main issue a report running as a sub report being run as a main report.
    I have a solution.
    for each of the sub reports build a new main report
    ie if you have
    sub report 1
    sub report 2
    then youhave a master report that calls them
    you would build
    Main report 1 ( which ONLY calls sub report 1)

  • CR Server - Report with multiple sub reports prompts for SQL connection for

    I have a report published in CR Server. The Report has four subreports. When the report is run from CR Server, the initial SQL Server connection log in is automatically handled by the log in details in CR Server, but the report then prompts for SQL Server log in four times, presumably for each sub report.
    How can I get rid of these SQL login prompts?

    Yes - it looks like it might have been to do with the contents of the ".sqldeveloper" directory. Probably SQL Developer may have got confused with me running the same SQL on the same database under different users.
    We create a read-only user to carry out queries against the live schema. This read-only user has only select privileges and no insert/update/delete privileges.
    Thanks for the feedback
