Edit print layout template for dunning letters

Hi,
Our customer want to edit the dunning letter template. They want the TOTAL which is a system variable field be seen also in the start of report
I copied this field from "Field_057," which is the field with the same name in the end of the report, then pasted it in the above area. (because I wanted to show the total due balance of the BP in the middle of the report as well, However, I believe merely copy and pasting in another area does not work. The following error occurs if I try to print the template above:
Printing error:Invalid variable number (RPT-6300)(Field: Field_203) Variable '148' [Message 200-38]
The selected field ("Field_203" is what I believe causes the error when printing because only when I add this field does the error occur).
Can you help how we can have the same data in the start of report.
Thanks,
Janice

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your reply. Do you mean it is not possible to have the same data in the start of report? Is there any other workaround like creating a fromula?
Thanks,
Janice

MD050 for dunning letters utilising XML publisher

Hi
Can someone, please, send me an MD050 for dunning letters?
We will use XML publisher for dunniung letters - but I need to prepare asn Md050 in 1 day..
Can someone help, please?

Yes it works fine in preview. Also works OK if I submit XML Report Publisher.
The problem is the template is for the dunning letters print report but we don't actually submit that, we submit the dunning letters generate which kicks off the dunning letter print. I guess the submit process within the generate process does not include the template in the parameters list so there is no output available when it runs.
Only thing I can think of is to modify the print report to submit the XML Report Publisher in the after report trigger but not sure if this is going to work?
I did see a similar query on metalink where the person was told there would be a solution in XMLP5.5 but I can't see anything in the about 5.5 doc that fits this issue.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Saving print layout templates

In a future release, would it be possible to have a function whereby you can save your print layouts in a folder, as a backup precaution incase you accidentally delete or alter an original one? At the moment, you can only back the PLD templates up via daily database backups. I have a customer who has spent a very long time perfecting their print layout templates and he thinks this functionality would be very useful and reassuring.
Thanks

Hello Kate,
Within 8.8 release, we are introducing new control of 'Report and Layout Management' which enables joint management of PLD and Crystal Reports layouts. This enhances the usability of maintenance of print layouts and should reduce a risk of accidential deletion of the print layout.
Moreover, Crystal Reports can be also saved outside SAP Business One as a separate file (similarly like those for XL Reporter).

Where to assign zprogram to zform for dunning letters

Hi All,
I have created a new z print program and z sapscript for dunning letters(FI).
Where can i assign my custom program so that it is used for printing the dunning z forms. In SPRO where do we maintain this configuration.
Thanks,
Abhishek

hi Abhishek,
you need to configure this in IMG; follow the instructions mentioned below:
1->Goto SPRO->SAP reference IMG
2->navigate to FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING (new) ->ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE ->BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS->DUNNING
3->Expand the node PRINTOUT and execute ASSIGN DUNNING FORMS.
Here you define the SAP SCRIPT form created for the purpose. Save the configurations.
4-> Go to the SAPSCRIPT editor, in change mode for the newly created form.
5-> choose any of the window, press F9, to go to the text editor.
6-> choose any of the text symbols used, and navigate to GOTO->PRINT PROGRAM->SYMBOL DEFINITION.
7-> in the new screen, click the button, APPEND PRINT PROGRAM
8-> Now enter the new ZPROGRAM created, save .......thats it....
Hope this helps,
Sajan Joseph.

Print Layout Designer for UDO

Hi,
Can we design report with print layout designer for UDO forms?
If yes, how do we accomplish this?
If not, is there any other alternative?
I am using 2004B. Thanks.

I use the iTextSharp project to create PDF's (http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/)... its free and it works (A little hard to use, but it works). A more simple PDF-project are SharpPDF (http://sharppdf.sourceforge.net/). This is also free and very easy to use, but not that many features.

Use Adobe forms for Dunning letters

Dear All,
We have a requirement to use dunning letters using Adobe Forms. I would like to know,
1. Is there a way we can attach adobe forms for dunning letters.
2. what could be the estimate do develop these letters using adobe forms.
3. Could I get some guidelines on the approach.
Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,
You're right, PDF is easier to use in comparison to SapScript.
If the SapScript is in use at this time, you should have no worries with PDF, where you can even import the official format.

Francois

Finnaly...
someone send me PLD manual
And my problem solved
==============
Procedure
After defining the sort, perform the following steps
1. From the menu bar choose Print Layout Designer → Group.
2. Select a group number.
3. Select 1 for a sub-sort or sub-total for the primary sort, select 2 for the secondary sort and so on.
Each group is linked to its relevant row number in the Sort window described above. Thus, every field created in a certain group relates only to its group's corresponding row in the Sort window.
The Repetitive Area Header titles are now hidden as well as any field created in the Repetitive Area Footer. The reason is that these two areas are linked to groups. Each one of the groups has two areas of its own.
4. To define the sub-sort, do the following:
a. In the Repetitive Area Header assign a title for the required sort.
b. Create a new Formula field
c. Choose the Formula Editor button and select the operand SortValue() in the Operation field.
This action will print the Items table divided into separate titles each time the Item number changes.
5. To define sub-totals do the following:
a. In the Repetitive Area Footer create a Formula field.
b. Choose the Formula Editor pushbutton and select the operand ColSum(UniqueID as String) in the Operation field (for the Quantity field from the rows in the Sales Quotation).
The field within the brackets defines the column for which a total will be calculated. You can also calculate totals for the Price and Total columns.

Edit Print Layout Crashing SAP 2007

Good Day,
I have a client that when trying to edit a layout it is causing SAP to crash.
It is the Goods Receipt PO layout, he opens the GRPO, clicks the pencil, then when trying to edit the layout, SAP just crashes with no error messages and no log files.
All other layouts are able to open and be edited.
Its just this specific layout that it is happening on, it is not a system print layout.
Thanks
Regards
Dario

The explanation would be:
The problem could be due to many reasons. For example:
- If they selected a table by using Alt+Click in old PLD, that is not supported by SAP.
- Some other hidden problems may not be found from old version but it can be caught in new version etc.

Print layout designer for develop report based on query

Dear Experts/Gurus,
I am amazing about the manage previous reconciliation report. When I opened it using print layout designer, it looks like the report is not built using query, but I am not sure yet. This is very confusing. I created query similar with manage previous reconciliation (MPR), but when I link the query to print layout and try to make similar format/appearance with MPR report (reconciliation management (system)), it is not success.
Isn't the MPR report built not based on query ? I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,

Hi,
I am not sure I understand what's the problem:
Is it the layout that is different or the data?
Regarding the data you can use SQL Profiler (maybe you did?) to find out what queries are fired, but please note that there are some stored procedures in the DB that are used for some specific functions - not sure whether the "MPR" uses any of these.
Then you must include some non-default filter in SQL Profiler...
...but you can also use the logging functionality in B1 for that purpose:
Just activate the logging (see the "log" folder in the B1 subdirectory) in the corresponding config file: choose the option to have the SQLs logged in conjunction with the logging being triggered in all cases (not just error).
Thus you will get all the SQLs - just plain - from the B1 application, but note that it will obviously slow it down!
HTH,
Frank

Easily editable document flow template for office use?

Sorry for the cryptic title, but i'm not sure how to ask this question.
I have a client who current uses Publisher to maintain a daily changing document that has a thumbnail image and some text for lots of items for sale. There are also multiple categories these items are listed under. I'd like to create an InDesign document (template) that would replace the old doc, but would make it so that an average office worker could be trained a little on it and then could update it and print it daily without blowing up the layout or the design of it.
Specifically, you have about 12 section headers. Each one could have from 0 to 25 items in each. It could fluctuate dramatically from day to day. If there is nothing in one of the categories, i'd like to at least have a placeholder example item there, but it's not going to take up much space.
So...help? I just don't want to over-complicate the process for the office staff, but I want to increase the quality of the output dramatically as well.
Thanks,
Eric

This might be overkill in this particular situation, but this is exactly the type of scenario for which many will use InDesign server, front-ended with a web client to merge designated content into a template and ultimately yield a PDF file for either display, print, or both!
The problem of a “typical office worker” using InDesign is that it has a very steep learning curve and there is so much that can go wrong (not that this can't and doesn't happen with Microsoft Publisher or Word as well)!
One other possibililty would be either a script and/or custom plug-in for InDesign to perform the daily fill-in and/or replacement with minimal user interaction.

FR Report Print Layout Setup for Excel

Hello All,
Is there any way to setup the Page Layout for Excel export of the report.The user will export the report from HTML view on Workspace to Excel from File Menu options.After viewing the report in excel the user should be able to directly print the report without setting the page size and all.
The Page Set Up option seems to be working for PDF but not in excel.

Hi AG,
As far as I know, this option is limited to pdf view. It could a nice enhancements in the upcoming versions as I've heard this request many times from various clients.

How I can create a new page layout template for EP 7.0

Where I can found tutorial or description.
I have already provided the par-file for new page layout but I do not know like I should integrate in the enterprise portal 7.0.
Greeting Daniela

when you already provided the par file then
go to content admin->portla content
go to your folder in pcd content and right click and navigate to new-> layout. There you can find your deployed new page layout par file.
Create a page layout based on the par file and in the properties make it as template.
Later when you try to create a page then you will get the new layout as one of the option.
Also check the below pdf links for step by step procedure
