Formatted Search (FMS) Hotkey

I have a formatted search that I am forever using. Is there a way to link it to a key to execute when pressed?
I've played around in the user menu and can have the query manager open on a hotkey, but not a specific Query.
Any thoughts are appreciated!!

Hi Scott,
I don't think it's possible to assign a hotkey to trigger any specific formatted search, the only other way to trigger a formatted search is to press shift+F2 whilst in the field, this has the same function as executing the formatted search.
Kind Regards,
Matt

Formatted Search for Sales Order

Hi,
I setup a formatted search in Sales Order unit price field.
Condition required:
If Sales Order is copied from Sales Quotation, unit price remains as per Sales Quotation unit price, else formula to calculate mininum selling price appllies.
Here's the query:
DECLARE @BASE_ENTRY INT
DECLARE @PRICE NUMERIC(19,6)
SET @BASE_ENTRY = ISNULL($[$38.45.0],0)
SET @PRICE = $[$38.14.0]
IF @BASE_ENTRY = 0
BEGIN
SELECT T0.[AvgPrice]*(1+T0.[U_SPFactor])
FROM OITM T0
WHERE T0.[ItemCode]=$[$38.1.0]
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @PRICE
END
l have no issue if the Sales Order copied from Sales Quotation, however when enter the Sales Order manually the formatted search having error message:
1). [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric.
FMS execution failed on field '' with query name 'Get Minimum Selling Price (SO)'
Looks like my query has error...

Hi ,
Try this below query and let me know your feedback,
DECLARE @BASE_ENTRY INT
DECLARE @PRICE NUMERIC(19,6)
SET @BASE_ENTRY = ISNULL($[$38.45.0],0)
SET @PRICE = $[$38.14.Number]
IF @BASE_ENTRY = 0
BEGIN
SELECT T0.[AvgPrice]*(1+T0.[U_SPFactor])
FROM OITM T0
WHERE T0.[ItemCode]=$[$38.1.0]
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @PRICE
END

Help needed for Formatted Search

Hai Experts,
would like to ask you some clarification on Formatted Search. In the
query I found $http://$44.2.1 given in the criteria part.
In some articles it was mentioned that, the 44 meant for the table
connected with the form and 2 is field index and so on.
Can you please explain how to find out those numbers and field index.
I need to work out planty of FMS to fetch data into
UDF automatically based on user input.
Regards
Anand

Formatted Search - Restrict to Only One Customer on Activity Window

Hello Experts:
Am trying to create a formatted search to provide a suggested RMA Number on the Business Partners > Activity window in a UDF.
While in Activity, the user should get a list of ONLY the one customer they are currently working with. So if C0001 is being used in the Activity window, the list should show all suggested RMA numbers just for that customer of C0001, not any other customer.
When I use the following it shows all customers.
--FMS 6BP Automated RMA Number
SELECT
T1.[CardCode] + ' - ' + ltrim(str(T0.[ClgCode]))
FROM OCLG T0
INNER JOIN OCRD T1
ON T0.CardCode = T1.CardCode
ORDER BY
T1.CardCode Desc,
T1.[CardCode] + ' - ' + ltrim(str(T0.[ClgCode])) Desc
When I put in WHERE T1.CardCode = $[$ 9.0.0 ] in the right place it shows nothing...
Any ideas on how to make only the one current customer in Activity window appear in the list???
Thanks in Advance - Zal

Thanks Istvan and Gordon...
Istvan - that is the same as my SQL - just do not know how to show the $[$... correctly in this forum - it always goes to that http thing.
Gordon - tried to use your SQL but it gave me an error of "Internal Error (-1003) Occured [Message 131-183] every time I tried to click on the magnifying glass. However, due to your last line in the SQL it gave me an idea that eventually they were OK with - namely, the highest number to the top of T0.ClgCode...
Thanks again guys - Zal

Is there a way to NOT have the data from a formatted search highlighted

Hi all,
I have a formatted search that returns a big chunk of data, some comments that are then added to. When the fs is fired, it returns the data, but all of the data is highlighted so when the user starts typing they overwrite the data that was just returned. I know they could just hit the right arrow key or click their mouse at the end, but they don't do that half of the time. I also know they could use ctrl-z or undo when they do this, but they don't do that either. It would just be nice if they could fire the fs and when the data is returned, the cursor would be at the end of the data.
Any thoughts?

I don't think there are any options for you to change default system behavior like this. What you may do is to change your FMS logic to get only one record if possible. Post your query here if you can.
Thanks,
Gordon

Formatted Search with multiple conditions

Hi experts,
I am using a formatted search to update the Unit price in Sales Order. Query mentioned below.
Select      T0.ItemCode,
               T0.ItemPrice,
From        ITM1 T0 inner join OPLN T1 on T0.PriceList = T1.ListNum
Where      T0.ItemCode = '[$38.1.0]'
     and     T1.u_location = '$[$38.2000002049.0]'
But while adding Item on Sales Order, it is showing error, Incorrect Syntax near '$[$38.2000002049.0]'.
Note: I have added an UDF named U_LOCATION( Alphanumeric, 10) in OPLN and selecting location in Price List through another FMS which is working perfectly.
Please help in this regards.
Thanks in Advance.
Nabyendu

Hi Nabyendu Saha..
You said the u_location as alphanumeric the why you have given 0 for the field type in the FMS...
Select      T0.ItemCode,
               T0.ItemPrice,
From        ITM1 T0 inner join OPLN T1 on T0.PriceList = T1.ListNum
Where      T0.ItemCode = '[$38.1.0]'
     and     T1.u_location = '$[$38.2000002049]'
or
Select      T0.ItemCode,
               T0.ItemPrice,
From        ITM1 T0 inner join OPLN T1 on T0.PriceList = T1.ListNum
Where      T0.ItemCode = [$38.1.0]
     and     T1.u_location = $[ordr.u_location]
Try the above , hope helpful

Auto-refresh formatted search is not working properly...

I have created a User Defined Field in Item Master named: FLD1 (Alphanumeric 30)
Then I have created a User Defined Field in Marketing Documents Row: FLD1 (Alphanumeric 30)
Now I want as follows u2013
In Marketing Documents if I select any Item, the value saved in FLD1 in the Item Master will come automatically in the Field FLD1 of the Marketing Document.
I did as follows u2013
I have created a formatted search for the above marketing document (in Sales Quotation) for the field FLD1 as follows u2013
Option: Search in Existing User-Defined Values according to Saved Query
Query: GetItemFLD1 (SELECT $[OITM.U_FLD1] )
Option: Auto Refresh -
When Exiting Altered Column
Field: Item Description
Option: Display Saved User-Defined Values
But the above is not working automatically --- after saving the document if I click on the Formatted Search Marker then the value comes otherwise not.
Can any one please explain the reason behind?

How can I reference value of a field from a diffrent line in formatted search

I want to use a formatted search for this
I want to set a field value based on a value from a previous row. ( is this possible at all ?)
I have a udf called Test at Line Level on AR Order
The user enters a value for test on line 1
he will have a lot more lines then after that. all I want is to copy the value in test ( on row 1) to row2 as the user edits say the Item code on that row.

Hi,
Unfortunately formatted search is for current line only , you can't reference the previous or next line .
You can do achieve this with SDK but with FMS not possible .

Format search error

Dear All
1.I create a User-define field on OITM, Call U_D.
2.Create a format search Query on itemcode of Item interface.
FS: Select $[oitm.U_D]
When the Item interface is "add" status, The FS can select data, but
when the status is "Find" ststus, the FS can't. why?
Is my FS query wrong?
Glen

Glen,
The "$" in you FMS refers to the current record. If the form is in Find mode, there in no current record the FMS can access. If you want the FMS to retrieve all the value ever inserted in that field, use the following query
SELECT DISTINCT T0.U_D FROM [dbo].[OITM] T0

Using Second Column of Formatted Search

Hi All,
i have a query for formatted Search, which goes like This
"Select ItemName, ItemCode from oitm"
When i press Tab on the field 'Product No.' in 'Production order',
i get the CFL of ItemName and ItemCode.
when i select one row from this, i need to capture the ItemCode
in the field 'Product No.' (By Default it captures the first Column i.e ItemName)
Any suggestion are most welcome
Regards,
Mahendra

Mahendra,
By default it will fetch the first column only. one workaround what you may not like to use is, to define a user defined field in production order form and give an FMS there. ther you show the itemname first as you have written, and give an Auto refresh FMS on production order field where you change it to itemcode when item name is selected.

Formatted search case statement help

Hi all,
I am trying to write a case statement in a formatted search, but am running into an error when I add a condition involving the item code. The code works find with the first WHEN statement involving the customer code $[$4.0.0] however, I receive an internal error when I add the second part involving the item code $[$38.1.1] Please advise.
SELECT
CASE WHEN $[$4.0.0] = 'C00023'
THEN 'E002'
WHEN $[$38.1.1] = 'ItemA'
THEN 'J002'
END
THank you!
Jane

Hi Jane,
Where do you assign this FMS? If it is on the header, the second condition will not work. If it is line level, try change it to $[$38.1.0\].
Thanks,

Formatted Search in Incoming Payments

Hi All, I require some assistance with a formatted search and query please.
I have create a UDF at a header level in an invoice - the value will be either D or blank.
I have then created a UDF at a line item level in the incoming payment window.
I would like to create a formatted search that looks at the invoices at the line item level in the payment window, and returns the value from the invoice (D or blank). Any assistance on what the query should be would be greatly appreciated.
Also, as the invoice numbers are variable fields, what field should be used for the 'auto refresh' option?

Hi Lisa,
It is very difficult to have create FMS that can be linked to header from row since it has different table. Row table and Header table are different. Why could you try to use the info from invoice table directly that can return value from it (D or blank) as you want ? what is the point in the invoice that can return the value ? is it invoice number ?
Rgds,

Is that possible?

Fi Fabio,

-> Assign the Refresh Regularly.
Ex.
1. Goto the UDF and Clcik ShiftAltF2.
2. Select the SEARCH BY SAVED QUERY.
3. Assign the FMS Query.
4. Select the AUTO REFRESH WHEN FIELD CHANGES.
5. Select Customer/Vendor Code or DocDate

Formatted Search inside a Price List

Hi,
Is it possible to put a formatted search inside a Price List which will auto-update?
I created a query which looks at Special Prices tables OSPP and put an FMS in Price List 10. However, this FMS does not auto-update - it only updates when I click the "magnifying glass" of the formatted search. It would be cumbersome to click all items one-by-one.
Thanks,
Ajay Audich

Hi...
I understand that your formatted search is applied to the price column in your list of Charges 10. You've proven that their execution is made when leaving the modified column "Manual"? ..
This column can fill it with one and then clicking on the column header.
Best regards,
