Crystal Reports Templates usage - SAP BW MDX query data

Hi Ingo,
How are you?
I am experiencing issues with crystal reports when trying to use crystal reports templates with SAP BW data.
I have successfully created Crystal Report using SAP BW data with NodeID, ParentNodeID hierarchy, Crystal Hierarchical Grouping.
Also developed Xcelsius Dashboard using Live Office --> Crystal Report (SAP BW data) with refresh data on open.
Now trying to create a template for new crystal reports to be designedu2026
The following are observed by me:
1. When I create a crystal report using Report Wizard and select templates from the list shown, the following error displayed for SAP BW data:
2. When I try to apply template using Template Expert and selecting the report which is created using SAP BW data (and formatted), the following error displayed:
u201CCould not apply template to the documentu201D
I would like to know, whether there are known issues with Crystal Reports Templates using SAP BW data? If so, could you suggest any solutions/work around to this issue?
Thanks & Regards,
S.Salai Manimudiyan

I tried the following three methods:
1. Applied all the 12 Crystal Templates
2. Applied my own reports as Template
3. Also applied Crystal Report developed using Templates Fileds.
None of the above is working.
Created a report with BW query data and try to apply all the above templates but the same issue.
If I create a report using eFashion universe and apply all the above works without any problem.
I do agree with you that templates should not depend on the data source, as it is mainly for the common/standard report page layout (to reuse)...
Could you pl. check at your end and let me know the results.
Thanks & Regards,
S.Salai Manimudiyan

No data in Crystal report created on SAP BW BEx Query

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a Crystal report on top of a BW query. I am able to login to the BW system and open the BEx query and the objects are coming into the crystal report.
But when I drag and drop some objects into the details area and try to preview sample - it does not show any data (it shows accessing database but doesnt bring any data)
I copied the generated SQL query in to the section in the BW system in transaction code 'MDXTEST' and it runs correctly and shows me the result below there.
Just to try - I unchecked 'Use MDX..' check box by following the path SAP->Settings to check if that could bring back data ... and YES that worked which means data is not coming from the BW query with MDX connection but when MDX seems to be fine and retrieve result when I run the sql statement in tcode MDXTEST.
Also when I do preview samples - I can see in SM50 in BW system that it is trying to run the report just that I am not able to see any data in my crystal report.
Any help in this regards would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sunny

Hello
The order of display of attributes in Webi and Crystal report would be different.
Collapse the infoobject and skim through the attributes, you should be able to find them.

Crystal Reports Template : Data for Cash-Flow Analysis

Dear Experts,
We are working on cash flow forecasting model, i.e going forward 12 months, which in written in MS Excel. We update it with actual data recorded in SAP B1 (Ver 8.8 PL18) A manual process.
Was wondering if we can get a crystal report template which contain the following data:
Sales, Purchases, Collections and Payments by BP in a given time (user specified)
BP Code
BP Name
Sales Invoice #
Sales Invoice Date
Sales Invoice Value (total)
Sales Credit Memo #
Sales Credit Memo Date
Sales Credit Value (total)
Purchase Invoice #
Purchase Invoice Date
Purchase Invoice Value (total)
Purchase Credit Memo #
Purchase Credit Memo Date
Purchase Credit Value (total)
BP Receipt #
BP Receipt Date
BP Receipt Value
BP Payment #
BP Payment Date
BP Payment Value
Thank you to all who have answered this question posted earlier under queries, I am hoping we can get a combined report using CR, a feat not possible using SAP B1 Query function. I look forward to your advice.

Raj

Hi,
I am not familiar with crystal report. But using queries (that already answered) you can create crystal report.
You can also refer how to guide for creating crystal report in sap b1.

Crystal Reports 2013 on SAP BW

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to establish connection between Crystal Reports 2013 and SAP BW 7.4. Could you please let us know whether we can create Crystal Reports on following BW objects or not?
-BW BEx Reports
-BW Cubes
-BW DSOs
-BW Master data Info Objects
-BW Multi Provider
Regards
Viswanath

Hi Manoj,
Using the SAP BW MDX Query driver, you can design formatted Crystal reports that are based on data that is stored in SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW). You base these reports either on queries that are created with SAP Business Explorer (BEx) Query Designer, or directly on the cubes in BW.
See this : Crystal Reports 2011: Connect to an SAP BW data source

SAP BW Query Vs SAP BW MDX Query

Dear Gurus,
Can someone please tell me the difference and advantages of connecting Crystal Reports2008 to "SAP BW Query" & "SAP BW MDX Query"while .
My main concern being SAP BI resource is , we don't create SAP MDX queries in BW.
Regards,
-Neha

Hi Ingo ,
So the Crystal report datasource will be SAP BEx queries when we select the connection SAP BW MDX Queries .
My question is do we have to write MDX statements somewhere in SAP BW or the system will automatically generate when we select the SAP BW MDX Queries ?
Regards,
-Neha

I am facing a problem in a crystal report which is based on Infoset query

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in a crystal report which is based on Infoset query.in the Cost Analysis - Planned vs. Actual Order Costs
There are two querys like Query: CO_OM_CA_20_Q1 and InfoSet: ZBPBI131_INFO_ODVR. I build infoset query based on sap best practice user guide but problem is not able to find CO_OM_CA_20_Q1
Best Regards,
Srinivas

Hi,
I would first of all suggest you don't open the same question twice. this looks like a duplicate to this entry:
Best Practices v3.31 - SAP InfoSet Query connection
Did you assign the queries and the infosets to an InfoSet user group and you assign the SAP account to it as well ?

Crystal reports templates path

Hi,
I have a question for Crystal reports template path with SAP Business One 2007A. Where can I find the report template path setting? So I can find those templates.
I worked on B1 2005 before, need some help for Crystal reports.
Thanks a lot.
Christina

Hi, Gordon
Nice to know you here. hehe, my "BenJia".
Yes, I found those templates files in the share folder. But I thought I can find the setting screen in B1, just like other path setting "Attachments Folder".
And, 2nd question, then. Can I open design window for Crystal reports from somewhere in B1? Or the only way to do it is to open Crystal reports software, then edit templates?
Thanks Gordon.
Regards
Christina

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.

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.

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.

Crystal Reports access to SAP/CRM 6.0 with Integration with SAP Solutions

Hello,
we are running Crystal Reports 2008 with SAP CRM 6.0.
To boost productivity or Report writeing we need especially access to:
- Function Modules
- the CRM Business Objects Repository (Transaction SW01).
What kind of SAP/CRM ( or SAP / ERP ) Objects can be accessed with the Integration for
SAP Solutions ?
The BO Documentation [BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions User's Guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP2/en/xi31_sp2_bip_sap_user_en.pdf] does not give a clue if this is possible.
However, Ingo Hilgefort stated in his book that it is at least possible to access ABAP Functions, SAP Querries and SAP InfoSets.
What is the minimum product portfolio and the necessary Version - Can I install the following products stand alone ?
Crystal Reports 2008
Integration for SAP Solutions
Tomcat / Jaco
or
Must I need at minimum BO Edge and must install the CMS Server ?
Thank You
Martin
