Defining User specific printer

Hi,
Our client uses barcode printing in process orders. Process orders are printed automatically upon order release and also using COPI they reprint the process order.
Now all the users (* - generic) in the Plant'A' uses Printer 'A'(Output Device) which is configured in spool parameters for users in CB85(config).
Issues:
1. If a user defines Printer'B' as Output device in SU3, the process order still prints in Printer'A'. WHY?
2. The other issue is a some users of Plant'A' moves to a new building, so they want to use Printer'B' instead of Printer'A'.
Since it is configuration, should I maintain Printer'B' as output device in CB85 for each user.
3. I am facing difficulty in maintaining output device for each user in Development system because the user doesnot exist in Development client, the user exists only in Production client.
Please advice whether it is required to create users in DEV & move the changes to production client or is it advisable to maintain the changes directly in production system after opening the system for configuration OR is there any other options available.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
UK

Hi Prasbobh,
Thanks for your valuable response.
I changed the value from "02" to "01" of Output device in Printer specification. Now it is taking the the printer which I specify in user profile (SU3), ignoring the printer specified in CB85. It is fine now.
But it is not taking the value of "$" for output device in spool parameter for user, it is throwing an error "entry $ doesn't exist". So I have not changed the value of output device.
Even though it is working fine now just want to check maintaining "01" in printer specification is sufficient.
Thanks & Regards,
UK

OIDH - User specific print control

Hi Experts,
In OIDH, we used to maintain user specific print control for the combination of Planning Plant & Planner Group.
There following same entry was maintained in 2 different ECC instances(Testing & Quality)
User - No entry(blank)
Planning Plant - *
Planner group - *
Shop paper - No entry(blank)
Output device - LOCL
New Spool Request - enabled
Print Immediately - enabled
Delete after output - enabled
In Testing environment, For a released work order, when i select Order-> Print -> Order, a pop up appears showing the entries of Shop papers.
In Quality environment, For a released work order, when i select Order-> Print -> Order, a pop up appears mentioning "No user-specific shop papers are defined".
Could you Pls let me know what could be the reason for the same User specific setting, Testing & Quality instances are behaving in a different way.
I hope the Quality system displays the right output message for the above Config setting.
Regards,
Karthik Bhaskaran

Please make changes in the following fields
User - No entry(blank) Instead of blank " * "
Shop paper - No entry(blank) Instead of blank " * "
Create the transport and move it to Quality and test it.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Define user specific updating event in LIS

Hi everyone,
I'd like to define one specific event for one info structure, like the VC,VD....
Could you please tell me how to realize it?
thanks
Eric

It's not possible and, frankly, I don't see what purpose it would possibly serve. All the events are linked to some SD documents. It's not possible to create a completely new kind of document, therefore there is no need to create a new event.
Perhaps you've misunderstood the requirements and what you need may actually be achieved by using a formula, for example, or a different configuration.

Hi,
I think you can use the structure ITCPO when working with Scripts or Smartforms.
Try to send the values to this and pass to the FM of rescptive ones.

Anyone know where user-specific print parameters are stored?

and is it possible to change parameters (such as Time of Print = Immediate) for other users?
I'm using R/3 4.7 Enterprise.

Interesting, thanks.
But how about other parameters, such as Storage Mode, New spool Request, Do Not Append Print Jobs, etc. Any idea where those are stored?

No user-specific shop papers are defined

Hello Experts,
While trying to print the notification the above mentioned error is given ( No user-specific shop papers are defined).
In customisation, the setting for shop paper has been done as * (star) for user, i.e it means its applicable for all users, still the error prevails.
Please help to fix this ....
Regards
Rahul Chitte

To Start with
1.Quality Management -->Quality Notifications --> Notification Processing -->Print Control.
Enter " N" for notification
2.Define Shop Papers---->
Output program RQQMUD01( or your own )
Form Routine    PRINT_PAPER
Form            Make sure that you have entered correct form
3.Assign shop paper to Notification type---->make sure that you have selected both correctly
4.Define printer -
>In User Its better if you create a user Gr or Profile instead of " * "
(ex check profile Q_QMEL       A       Process all quality notifications completely) or simply keep it blank
.Enter the shop paper you have created

Notification to defined users for Material master specific field changes

Dear All,
I would like to check the feasibility and way to fulfil the below requirement.
We would like to send notification per mail or Pop UP to the defined users whenever there is a change in particular filed in Material Master (Like MVKE-VMSTA) using MM02 Transaction.
Regards
Krishna Prasad

Hi,
You can create an ABAP query to use tables CDHDR and CDPOS tables.
Select the object values as Materials and make the date range as dynamic in the selection screen.
You can also select the table name and field names.
Based on the output field display selection you can find the person who has changed the objects.
Run the query in the background and in the output device you can put as mail and you can define the destination mail id.
This way, the changes made can be notified to the responsible user.

Printout a pdf file in a specific printer.

Hi experts,
I am facing the following problem: I have a PDF file that i want to print without using a user interface to do it. I created a database table where I store the name of the PDF file that I need to print, the type is BDS_FILENA. Now at a certain hour I want to send the PDF file to be printed in a specific printer installed in the network. The idea is to create the code that sends out the files only by giving the file name.
I already have the PDF file uploaded in the system (is not a local file I want to print).
I know that using the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS I am able to config whether the IMMEDIATELY, NO_DIALOG, DEVICE (printer name), etc.
My question is, by calling this FM it will send the spool defined in the DATA_SET parameter to the printer??? how can I add the document to the spool (I am assuming that the DATA_SET is the spool where the documents are ready to be printed... Am I right?) By calling this FM, automatically will start the print due to I have defined the IMMEDIATELY parameter as 'X' right or do I have to call another FM to start the printing?
I have check these forums: [Thread 1|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=23697&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a], [Thread 2|Re: Query: Single Spool request to print multiple smart forms] but I am not too sure about if it is what I need.
Can you please guide me a little bit about it?
In advance, thanks a lot for your comments or observations.
Cheers,
Mauricio.-

Hi again,
Ok, I have read about the RSPO_*_SPOOLREQUEST FM, but in non of them I figure out what is the FM that I need to call to send the spool to the printer...
RSPO_OPEN_... will return the spool number. that spool number I will need to pass as SPOOL_REQUEST_ID parameter in the RSPO_OUTPUT_SPOOL_REQUEST right?
I understood that I will have to convert the PDF into a spool, i don't know yet how to do it... but it is something that seems to be easy, but the printer side I cannot understand. Using those calls I am able to convert the PDF from hte XSTRING type to a spool. but after the conversion, how do I send to document to the printer?? I don't need to download it to a local computer, i just need to printout the PDF or the data inside the PDF with all the layout (Title, headers, footers, etc.)
In advance, thanks again.

I have created a form. I just want a specific area of the form to be printed to a specific printer in Windows 7. Is there a way to do this?

There are 2 printers on the system. I want to create a Print Button, so that if the user clicks it, a desired area prints on a specific printer.
Thanks for your consideration.

No, unfortunatley there is not. For a full listing of Unicode supported characters please refer to section Unicode Character Support at FormsCentral Help | Formula syntax for built-in functions

Siva

Hi
You can achieve it by following configuration steps in SPRO
1.Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence
2.Assign Secondary Screens
3.Maintain Order of Main and Additional Screens
4,Assign Screen Sequences to User/Material Type/Transaction/Industry Sector.
5.Maintain User Settings
Custamization path for the above configuration in SPRO is

User-Specific Variable in Web Interface

I have created a manual planning layout with User-Specific variables one for Sale Group and one for Sales District.
The variable successfully restricts user access to data when executed in SAP GUI.
A Web Interface was successfully generated from the Planning Folder containing the manual planning layout described above.
When I execute planning via the web, all possible values are displayed, even though the User-Specific variable limits this user to a single value for each variable.
Is there a way to restore the restriction defined in the User-Specific variable ?
I saw an earlier thread indicating that the Planning Level property of the Selector Variable Value for each variable used in the Web Interface Builder had to be set - but that field is protected from input.
Any insights would be appreciated !
Thanks,
Lyle

Narasimha,
Each variable was created as :
-     Replacement Type = User-Defined Values.
-     Restriction of Values required by User = OFF.
-     Input Allowed by User = OFF.
Several users are defined within each variable.
Most users represent Sales Representatives, with a single value assigned to each a single Sales Rep is assigned a single Group and District ( i.e one-to-one relationship ).
The other type user represents a Sales Manager, and includes all the values assigned to the Sales Reps reporting to him.
When Restriction functionality is turned on, the following error message is received :
Restrict variable UDSALDST (Sales District - User-Defined) (area ZBILLIC (IC Billings Estimate)) to single value
<b>Diagnosis</b>
Variable UDSALDST (Sales District - User-Defined) (planning area ZBILLIC (IC Billings Estimate)) is defined so that the user must restrict the values of the variable (indicator 'Restriction of values required by user' is set). However, you have not defined a restriction.
<b>Procedure</b>
Restrict the variable or change the definition of the variable so that restriction is no longer required.
     To restrict the variable, choose Goto -> Set variables and search for variable UDSALDST (Sales District - User-Defined) in the list. Make the restriction and subsequently continue the planning session.
     To change the variable definition, choose the tab page Variables in the context of planning area ZBILLIC (IC Billings Estimate) and reset the indicator 'Restriction of values required by user'.
While the first option ( Goto > Set Variables ) seems to defeat the purpose of a User-Specific variable, I tried it. When I use F4 to determine available values, it displays those previously assigned when creating the User-Specific variable !? this doe not seem to add any more than I already have.
The second option effectively puts me back to where I was when I posted the question.
Of interest though, I noticed when the Restriction functionality was turned on, the All value previously displayed as available for selection was no longer available but the specific values for each of the other Sales Reps continue to be reflected, and this user can select values related to another Sales Rep..
As mentioned in my original posting,
I saw an earlier thread indicating that the Planning Level property of the Selector Variable Value for each variable used in the Web Interface Builder has to be set but that the field is protected from input.
Should this object property be open to permit input ? If so, is there a step or setting that needs to be performed. Could authorization be an issue ?
Thanks,
Lyle

Layout is it User-specific or Standard ?

I have an ALV report that contains user specific layout and standard layout. My question is if user enters the layout name in the selection screen . i wanted to know whether the layout is user-specific or standard layout.
How we can differentiate this ?
a®

Layouts can be saved for specific users or for all users.
User-specific layouts are only visible to the users who have created them.
Layouts for all users can be selected by all users. These layouts always start with a forward slash in the name (for example, /Standard).
The layouts are report-dependent and you can only create, change or delete them within the display of the respective ALV list. User-specific layouts can only be changed or deleted by the user who created them.
To save layouts for all users, you need the authorization S_ALV_LAYO with activity 23 as of Release 4.6C. You can only go to the layout administration if you have this authorization.
You must maintain the authorization object S_ALV_LAYO using the user administration.
If you would like to use or save the Excel view in your layout, you also require the additional authorization S_BDS_DS with activity 01,02,03,06,30; CLASSNAME ALVLAYOUTTEMPLATES and CLASSTYPE OT.
Furthermore, there are applications that have their own authorization checks installed.
In some ALV lists, you can only save user-specific layouts. In these cases, the indicator "user-specific" is active , on a grey background and unable to be changed. This is related to the parameter I_SAVE. This controls which options you have to save the layout.
To be able to define default layouts, the parameter I_DEFAULT must have the value 'X'.
Notes 409190 and 601803 also provide further information on authorizations.

How we can define User Constraints in SAP APO SNP?

Hi
How we can define flexible User Constraints in SAP APO SNP ? Meaning standard constraints can be configured in SAP APO SNP but how we can configured real time customer constraints?
Thanks
Poorna

Hi,
You can use CIF user exit CIFMAT01 for this purpose. You can follow below path in SAP for more details
SPRO---SAP refrenceIMG----Integration with other SAP components---Advanced Planning and Optimization---Application specific settingsand enhancements---Enhancement for materials---Influence data before transfer to APO on user specific basis.
YOu can read help in above path about exit.
YOu need ABAP person who need to code this. What you need is read custom field from table from MARC and Populate in procurement cose field in this exit.
