Custom Print layout?

I have a unique situation where I need to print double sided 8.5x4.5... Is there anyway to have a custom print layout, or adobe export layout that would make the printed pages look like this?
I use InDesign CC

The best way to handle unusual impositions for in house printing is place the pages in a new print document. You can place an InDesign page the same way you can place an image or PDF, so make the print document to the print’s trim size and place the reader pages on the print doc's pages and rotate them as needed.

How do I duplicate custom print layouts across multiple pages?

Hi there, brand new to LR. Using a Macbook Air.
I understand that in order to print 3 4x6 images on one 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper I need to create a Custom Package Layout and then manually drag and drop each photo into a cell. That's fine, I've created one page that meets my needs (has crop marks, leaves space between photos, etc.) and dragged and dropped my photos.
The issue comes in because I basically want to print 19 pages of this exact same layout but with different photos. Is there a way to copy and paste (or duplicate or something) the format from the first page of my template? So far it seems like I'll have to manually recreate the template on every page, then go back and add the photos.
Thanks!

It is probably easiest to create a single page template and save it as a User Template. You will still have to go a page at a time and drag the pictures in one-by-one but you won't have to recreate the template over and over again.
I don't see an elegant solution for you, Sorry.

New customized report using PLD or QUERY PRINT LAYOUT to show customers onl

I am working with a Software Developing firm as an SAP Consultant.
Please tell me how to create a new customized report displaying various details as required by the client in the report using PLD or Query Print Layout.
Please help me asap.

Hi,
You can create queries using the Query Generator or the Query Wizard tools.
After you have created your own queries, you can link them to a required print layout.
for user reports.Look at:
Tools --> Queries --> Query Print Layout
Set there your query reports.
Printing User-Defined Queries
After you had linked a user-defined query to a user report template, you can now print it
according to its linked print layout.
There are two ways for printing your user-defined queries.
1. Using the Query Print Layout window:
Select from the upper menu Tools 􀃆 Queries 􀃆 Query Print Layout.
Click the Reports tab page.
Click to highlight the required query you would like to print.
Click on the printer icon or select from the upper menu File 􀃆 Print.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
2. Using the Queries Manager window:
Click the Queries Manager icon on the upper tool bar.
Click to highlight the required query you would like to print.
Click on the printer icon or select from the upper menu File 􀃆 Print.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
Note! You can also print preview user-defined queries. Do so by selecting the Print
Preview option as described in the methods above for printing your query.
Btw, you could search the manual training files relate to query PLD in http://www.service.sap.com/smb

Print Layout Designer \Custom Reports

Hello All,
Is there a way to set a custom report as default in the Print Layout Designer for A/R Invoice in SAP B1 ?
Thank you and Best wishes and Happiness in the New Year 2009.
Ben

Hello All,
Thank you for your answer but I would like to be more exact in my question because I already know how to set a Print Layout as default in a screen of SAP B1 like A/R Invoice by the way that Parlati has mentioned :
1. Open a blank AR Invoice (e.g. service or item type)
2. Click on Menu >> Tools >> Print Layout Designer... or pen icon on toolbar
3. With The Document Type selected - choose template and click on Set as Default
But I usually use the Query Manager Tool of SAP B1 to create new queries and reports and I use the Print Layout Designer to setup the layout of these reports. These reports are printed normally via the print preview Icon of the toolbar. But now I would like to know how can I set one of these Reports as default in A/R Invoice screen of SAP. Because it's a one of my customized Invoices.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you.
Ben.

Custom Report Layout with mutliple child tables

I am trying to create a custom report layout (using Bi Publisher) where I have parent data (multiple jobs on a page) and several child tables for each job (JobDays and JobStops) and several child tables for JobDays (JobDayProviders, JobDayCrew). On the apex screen, I have a join on Jobs and JobDays and I am using functions to string each child row value for JobDayProviders and JobDayCrew together and putting a <br> in between so that they will format on separate lines within a cell. It works fine on the screen but when trying to print to pdf, it ignores these line breaks. I have also tried using <br></br> (saw an article that said just use HTML in bi pulisher) which puts two lines in between each value on the screen and is still ignored on the pdf.
for example:
Table hierarchy:
Jobs table
Job Stops
Job Days
Job Day Service Providers
Job Day Crew
Report Layout per job (will have mutlipe jobs to print, just printing 1 day per job):
Jobs.col1 JobStops.row1 JobDay.col1 JobDayProviders.row1 JobDayCrew.r1
JobStops.row2 JobDayProviders.row2 JobDayCrew.r2
JobDayProviders.row3
Thanks,
Linda
First, is there a way to get bi publisher to recognize the line breaks? If not, what is the best way to create a custom report for this scenario? I tried to create a report query with mutliple queries, but cannot determine how to link the child queries to the paren query. I have seen an example where a button is pressed to print one parent row and the id of that row is saved and referenced as a parameter in each of the queries, but if printing mutliple parents on a report, how would I link the child queries to the parent query?

Helen,
The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
UNION
SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
</tr>

<TR><TD></TD></TR>
this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
with kind regards,
naqvi

Print Layout Designer or Crystal.....! What to do?

Dear All,
We need to link our User forms to Print layouts in order to make our reports work exactly the way SAP reports work. Is there a way to enable the print and print preview toolbar buttons and make them show our Report Layout? So far the response from SDK Forum is not encouraging and many questions regarding the same issue remain unanswered there.
After looking for the solution in the SDK Forums we came across these two replies from Mr. Nick He and Mr.Frank Moebius. Both are of the opinion that currently SAP does not offer a support for this feature and better use a third party tool. We are not in a position right now to opt for any third party tool but if we get a clear response from your side regarding this matter, we can go for it. Kindly have a look at the following links:
Re: Print Layout Design for user form in SapBusinessOne2005A(6.80.317) sp:01.?
Re: Add PLD Layouts in 2005 through sdk
The recommended solution within SAP B1 to develop Add-on reports is through User Queries and creating a Print Layout and run them via Query Manager Window. This approach in our view has the following drawbacks that make it less friendly with the end user:
1. Add-on forms appear in the left pane/menu, whereas reports would have to run through Query Manager only, which is in fact a small toolbar button on the top right side. We can add the Query Manager link to user menu but it doesnt solve the problem.
2. A user with full authorization over the Print Layout can accidentally overwrite it by clicking the Create Report Button, whereas in case of SAP Reports the Layouts remain unchanged and only saved as a new Layout and set as Default Layout for a report. Add-on Reports cannot do this.
3. Different behavior of Layouts in Query Manager on Single Click and Double Click. In the Query Manager, if a user just selects a query by a Single Click and views a Print Preview (Layout) then the custom user Layout appears. But if a user Double clicks a query then the Query Window appears, exposing the query and making it editable. Also the Preview(Layout) is different in this case. The user can either view the Window or Table Layout in this case. Hence this exercise would make the user confused and prone to errors.
4. The Parameter/Criteria window that is SAP generated is not enough to fulfill user friendly interface requirements. Is there a way to add List boxes or Combos to that form. The parameter selection Checkboxes also behave in a strange way that even the experts find difficult to manipulate. If they are of no use, whats the point in having them on the form in the first place.
All these points are leading us to confusion over the decision as to whether go for Query Based Reports or use Third Party tools. Kindly help us out in this regard. Your response would help us save some valuable time for our Add-on Development.

<<< If there is a solution then it has to be from SDK. We can only opt for third party components and frameworks only if any of the SAP representatives ensure us that the current version of SDK does not offer such support.>>>
The answer to that is to lodge your query as an Issue to SAP directly as a support question or go through your local SAP representative. If the functionality is not offered by SAP you can do a Development Request ( DRQ) and SAP will develop it if they think it will become userful.
<<<If this Forum is not meant to be answered by SAP representatives then kindly tell me any other Technical Support Portal from where i can get the answer directly. >>>
This forum is accessed mostly by SAP Business One Developers on SDK. However we are fortunate that some SAP employees who are very knowledgeble take some time off to answer queries.
Since it is a Forum, no one is obliged to answer. As indicated above , Try SAP directly if you need a definite answer.
<<<>>>
Since you mentioned Crystal: We as SAP Business One SDK developers, have come across similar issues and opted for a Inhouse developed Crystal Solution. It has been so popular we are selling it as a Generic add-on to B1.

Problem with Query Print Layout

Hi, i have this type of problem.
I have create a query with 5 fields,i have saved it, and ,after, i have created a report on this query (Query Print Layout).
So, i have manipulated the report based on the preferences of the customer.
After this operation, customer tell me that he want to see one more field in the report, so i must add, in the original query, this field. But i note that i can't add a field. I can do it, but i must remake all the report.
There is a way to do this type of operation, without remake the report from the start?
Thanks
Regards
Marco

Hi Marco:
I asked our Print Layout Expert, and she tolds me that you have to create the report again.
Some time ago, in the report designer was a way to change the link to the query, but that option is disable now.
So, be patient and ask for this functionality to be implemented.

Query Print Layout - Generated PDF Document Name?

Hi All,
Query Print Layouts associated to my user queries work great for printing...but does anyone know if there is a way to set a more appropriate document file name when attaching an edited PDF report to an email? It seems to always automatically create a document name starting with 'Query Manager_-1_12' or something similar when attaching the report document directly to email.
I do realize that I can save the file locally, choose any name I like, then attach to email... but this defeats the purpose of being able to send the query report directly to the email icon.
If anyone knows how I can do this it would be much appreciated. There seems no option in the QPLD document properties.
Best regards,
John

Hello,
Yes, I have the same question. It could be great being able to choose the name of the document when creating a pdf. Even better if you could chose fields of the document for the name of the pdf, such as, name of customer, number of document, date, etc.
Is there any way for doing this?
Thanks in advance,
Javier.

Print Layout Designer / Open Items List Report

When I open the Reports>Sales and Purchasing>Open Items List report - How can I associate a different Print Layout depending on which Document Type is then selected from the drop down list..
Eg. When I print a list of Open Purchase Orders I want to us a different print template than when I print a list of Open Sales Orders ?
Thanks for any pointers..
Karen

Hello ...
You must enter the LDP clicking the pencil icon that appears in the toolbar when the window is open open items list.
Once there, create 2 new text fields, one with the text "Orders" and another that says "Customer Orders". Both fields were identified as Field_XXX and Field_YYY (where XXX and YYY are numbers that appear in their fields)
There is a field of variable rate system, which is what lets you see the description of the type of document. (Orders, Customer Orders, etc.).. This field corresponds to variable 100 (check it that way), we assume that this field is the field F_ZZZ within the layout.
Create 2 fields of type formula, the formula to edit it (Field_XXX == Field_ZZZ) and (Field_YYY == Field_ZZZ) respectively.
Create 2 text fields (these are only to test the application, then to understand the functionality can not delete them or leave them visible). Set in one of these areas, the letter "A" in the second field and set the letter "B". both camps can put one over the other in the layout.
Now comes the application of the field ... "A" condicionelo one of the formula fields and country "B" condicionelo another formula field. The conditional mode is to set the formula field in the general tab LINK A. ..
Try then see a preview of both reports and can see that depending on the type of document you will see "A" or "B" as appropriate.
Apply the same logic as those fields that you will create and generate the difference between formats.
I hope this will be helpful

Get credit memos to print on Dunning Level - All Print layout

Greetings,
I am wondering why credit memos do not show on the dunning level - all print layout. If I click on the edit icon it lists credit memos within here and it looks like they should print, yet when I run the wizard and I have a customer with a credit memo on their account it does not show on the statement printout. Any ideas?
The only clue is on the dunning recommendation report all outstanding invoices get flagged to dunning level 1 whereas the credit memo stays at level 0.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Aaron

The reason behind - might be an outstanding functions need to be developed later or a bug. Only if the link is there, you may print them out. This is a fixed PLD that you don't have any controls.
Thanks,
Gordon

Web report - print layout - store of input

Hi,
the customer wants to have the grid lines and grey boxes on his printout as see on the screen. We are using internet exporer and when we print there is only the text and and the figures on the paper - no lines that give orientation.
When the customer enters data in the filter lines she wants to see that data in the filter boxes on the next day again. But how can this data be stored?

Has nobody any idea how to solve this problems?
I heard that the print layout can defined with BW3.7 as PDF File. Without this the printout can be defined via Excel (Bex Report)
