Editing new crystal layouts for financial reports in 8.8

After upgrading to 8.8 PL10 I decided to investigate the new financial layouts for Crystal. When I opened the layout however I couldn't make much sense of how it is structured or even functions, it seems to reference a PLD table that I couldn't find under tables, views, or stored procedures. Any advice on how to better manipulate this report would be great.
They are all structured similarly so lets use the new balance sheet as a reference.

Hello!
Here are my findings ...
- The new Crystal Reports Layouts base deeply on the "old" PLD Layouts.
- The table "PLD__ITEMS" is an XML-file with the data of the report.
- If you want to show same additional fields of PLD__ITEMS on the report, it is not enough to drag the field on the report. You also have to format the field and add additional info to the CSS-Class like: FileName="OINV";FieldNum="CardName";
The workflow I used to edit the new CR Layouts:
1. Edit the old PLD Layout as needed
2. Use the Crystal Reports Converter to get a CR from the PLD [Download|/docs/DOC-8768#section16 [original link is broken]]
(The PDF included gives some basic hints about the structure of the CR Layout)
3. Edit the SAP CR with the informations of the converted CR (from PLD)
Hope this helps a bit ...

How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

Dear Experts,
I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
{ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
(I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

Defining default value for financial reports display in the workspace (9.3)

Hi
I need to change the default value for financial reports workspace preview mode, for every workspace user. It is actually set on html, and I would like to have pdf instead.
This option can be changed when logged on the workspace, in file->preferences->financial reporting->default preview mode. However I want every user to start with the right settings, so they dont have to change anything manually.
I have tried to do it with Shared Services : under projects, BI+, assign preferences. From there I can change the default folder and the start page (the general preferences), however I cannot find the options for financial reporting.
Is there a way to change these values with hyperion tools ?
If not, is it possible to change it directly in the repository DB ?Thanks and best regards

We looked at this about 2 years ago - from memory, you can only set preferences when the users are first setup in Shared Services, under the manage preferences section of the wizard.
I can't remember if there is a settings file you can edit for the default users - i think there is, but again this must be set before users are set up.
We looked at changing users preferences, but gave up on the idea as all users had been provisioned already :-(
Cheers, Iain

Order settlement cost ( Activity cost) can we consider for financial report

I am in port Implemetation as per their senario financial reports based on cost center hierarchy,
for minisrial report requirement, they submitting Operational wise nothing but cost center heirarchy wise
for Pm order settlement Man hour cost based on kp26 computed cost converted actual at the time of confirmation. At the time of settlement to concern cost center is debited but primary cost booking for (man hour) salaries not deducting the primary cost element. Here is salaries and manhours both is apprearing in the cost center. My client requirement is based manour activity cost deducted in salary primary element, they want that process. After Order settlement based on amount we can deduct concern intial cost booking cost center to Order settle cost center.
Please suggest and PM order cost affect in cost center in primary booking and after order settlement
Please anyone resolve my issue
Clarification above issue
when we settle PM order Activtiy cost (Manhours) based on the salaried booked in primary cost element,we assume per hour man hour cost and specify in kp26 based on the activtiy cost planning system picks cost and at time of order settlement it will settle concern cost center.
intially we booked salaries in primary cost not thing but salaries a/c and once again we are settling the same salary assumption cost to cost center ...
when we go for cost center report Initial salary a/c booking Administrative cost center and now production cost center with activity cost with secondary cost element ....so problem is both cost centers are debiting for the same salaries( activity cost) but my client want cost center report all including primary and secondary cost element total balance.
Please resolve my problem it very critical

Dear Sudhakar,
salaries cost booked in administrative cost center with primary cost element salary a/c
but Activity type man hour is meant for per hour salary cost. we can specified in kp26
so when we take cost center report, we get salary amount and activity cost in admin cost center and product cost center for the same salary amount... for financial report requirment, if we use cost center report the salay amount appeared twice.
Please explain the activity cost against salay amount ..

Editing the Query name for all reports in PRD.

Dear All,
I have created 25 reports using Query Designer.We have moved all the reports to BI Production. And Clients are using these reports using the Tool Bex Analyser.
Every time they are navigating through open Query -> Info Areas -> Data targets and Query.
Instead of going this way, is there any other way to Open a query easily.
And they wants to modify the Report name and the Technical name for all the reports. Can we able to edit the Query name for all reports, or do i need to go for SAVE AS for all querys.
Pls Suggest.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Ram,
1. For the first question; if it user specific query then ask the users to save them at the FAVORITES so that there is no need to go to the dataprovider specific.
Or they can create the reports as favorites user menu screen of that particular user.
2. In order to change the technical name and description of the queries goto RSZC t-code> give the source and target infoprovider as same> select queries>click on the reports>click on transfer selections-->
Then you get a screen to change the description and technical name.
But this is pertained to Infoprovider level.
You can see all the reports on the infoprovider (cube/ods).
Hope you understood.

Ravi Kanth

For financial report requirment can we consider secondary cost element cost

For financial reporting requirment can we consider secondary cost element cost to profit and loss a/c

In our senario _ cost is booking cost centers and revenues booking concern profit centers .
for Financial reporting requirment can I include secondary cost to profit and loss a/c
what is the impact on the report
exp: salary booking in primary cost,than Per hour man hour cost computed by costing dept for allocate to concern department
it is cost center activity price we specify in kp26 at the time of pm order confirm it will confim the activity quandity price will from planning area only, so for salaries in primary g/ls already captured, if we consider secondary it may double booking

Standard Crystal Layout for General Ledger Report, Development Limitations

Hi Guys,
I have experienced some development limitations in the standard crystal general ledger layout for "General Ledger report" in SAP.
So if we are running standard "General Ledger" report we have a lot of columns but we unable to get these columns in the standard crystal layout because PLD_Items (XML source file) doesn't contain all of them. For example, I need to add a "Project" into existing standard crystal layout and I can't do that.
Do you have guys, any ideas how to change PLD_Items source or it's impossible?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sergey Magsumov

How to use Adobe Distiller in Win 2k8 server 64-bit for Financial Reporting

Hi All,
We need to use the Adobe Distiller in Windows 2008 Server SP2 OS for generating PDF reports in Financial Reporting. However, the Adobe Distiller installation recognises the OS version i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit and installs itself automatically.
Now, the problem is that Hyperion Financial Reporting supports only 32-bit version of Adobe Distiller. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can anyone provide some lead into this?

Hi Sultan,
The version is 11.1.2.0
When we were unable to print the PDF reports, we raised an SR during which it was informed that
only 32-bit version of Adobe Distiller is supported. This can also be due to implied dependency. As
per the support matrix, if we use Win 2008 SP2 as the OS, only 32-bit binaries for FR is supported.
Hence, it implies that only 32-bit Adobe Distiller might be supported for generating PDF output.

Default Layout for a report running in background

Dear Friends,
I have created a layout for report ME2L and set as default layout (for every user)....
Foreground execution picked the DEFAULT layout but when am trying to execute the same report in background, default layout is not picked but the STANDARD layout is shown in the spool
Could you please suggest me how can i use same report layout for foreground as well as background
Thanks in Advance
Ana

Atanu dey,
If you wnat to download excel in back ground
You have to download in application server only.
EX:
DATA : v_filepath(80)     VALUE '/data/sapdata/inc/error_log/pme_br/',
c_coma     VALUE ',' .
OPEN DATASET v_filepath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
     LOOP AT i_errors_bat.
     CONCATENATE i_errors_bat-plant c_coma
                             i_errors_bat-zzvendor c_coma
                       INTO v_string.
        TRANSFER v_string TO v_filepath.
      ENDLOOP.
   CLOSE DATASET v_filepath.
Note : you can download in presentation server also.
but it requires lot of authorizations and have to use
FTP commands.
Reason is Apllication server in back ground has to
recognize the from which system request came.
Better go for OPEN DATA sets.
Don't forget to reward if useful.....

PDF preview in workspace not working for Financial Reporting

I have an issue in workspace with doinga PDF preview on a Financial Reporting report. PDF preview works fine via workspace but only FR has the problem, here is the error that is displayed. I am running FR server on AIX and the print servers are on windows platform. We have two installations pointing to same windows box for print server. The 1st if FR for HFM running all on windows, the 2nd is FR on AIX for an Essbase installation. The HFM FR install works great via workspace but the the 2nd produces the following error:
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
We made the port for the print server static(it is normally dynamic) so we could open the firewall port to the print server and have verifed it is open.
Does anyone have a suggestion of what could be producing the Internal Server Error. I should mention that we use Weblogic for the web deployment of workspace if that should have any bearing on the issue.

Firewall issues were preventing this problem.

Create a Global Layout for Embargo Report

Hi,
Kindly advise on the below.
I am attempting to create a Global Layout for the "Export Embargo Report for BP" .
However, while attempting to save the same , the "user-specific" checkbox is turned on and grayed out.
Kindly advise on how to go about to save a Global Layout.
Thanks
Jasmit

Thanks Sameer , your understanding is correct.
However, even if I save the layout as a default one ( Default checkbox set) , it will be applicable only for my id.. I am looking to create a layout, which everyone will be able to access the layout as well..
Thanks
