Formatted Search Multiple Sources

Hey all,
I know that standard functionality in formatted searches in SAP B1 does not support multiple source fields. However, I was hoping that someone had come up with a workaround for this scenario.
Field A = Variable
Field B = Variable
Field C = Field A + Field B
Can I get field C to update whenever field A OR field B is updated?
Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks Gordon, that made perfect sense. My solution was this:
Field A -> Formatted Search refresh regularly when Field B changes
Field B -> Formatted Search refresh regularly when Field A changes
Field C -> Formatted Search refresh regularly when Field B changes
This way, if you touch Field A or B, Field C will always be updated. For the queries, I simply used the active screen syntax to pull the values that were already there. For example:
If Field B changes, then Field A = $[$38.Field_A.0]
It's enough to register a change to field A which triggers the whole refresh. Thanks for your recommendation Gordon!

Can Spotlight Search Multiple Sources Simultaneously?

Stupid question here - I have pictures on both my Mac and on a shared drive. Is there a way to select both "This Mac" and "Shared" as sources for the Spotlight search? Yeah, I know it's relatively simple to keep all my search criteria the same and click from "This Mac" to "Shared" - that's what I'm doing now - but it would be convenient to have them on the same list.

no, this is currently not possible. it was possible in 10.4 but for some mysterious reason the ability was removed from Leopard's spotlight.

SQL Query -How2bring multiple results into one field using Formatted Search

Hi Everyone
i am trying to bring in the results of the field dbo.Lot_ITEM.LOT using a formatted search into a row level using the following query:
SELECT     dbo.LOT_ITEM.LOT
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN dbo.LOT_ITEM ON dbo.DLN1.ItemCode = dbo.LOT_ITEM.ITEM
WHERE     dbo.LOT_ITEM.ITEM=$[DLN1.ItemCode]
however the result of the dbo.Lot_ITEM.LOT field could be more then one value depending on how many lots are assigned for that item
(for example this query would be similar to assigning batch/serial numbers to an item being despatched - as you can choose multiple batches/serials depending on the quantities available and required and then move from the left to the right side of the selection window) if that makes sense!
is it possible to bring in the multiple results into one field? and how can i amend the above query to include this?
Thankyou in advance :o)

Hi Suda
Thanks for replying :o) but im not sure about the query?
just to simplify it (as the query im working with is to do with 3rd party addons) i have used the serial/batchs field instead and used standard demo database fields from SBO 2005 sp01:
SELECT     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_IntrSerial
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN
                dbo.ixvSerialNoFact ON dbo.DLN1.DocEntry = dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry
WHERE     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.ItemCode='g1000' and dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry = '193'
The above brings me the relevant results but when i change it to be used in a formatted search:
SELECT     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_IntrSerial
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN
                dbo.ixvSerialNoFact ON dbo.DLN1.DocEntry = dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry
WHERE     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.ItemCode=$[dln1.itemcode] and dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry = $[dln1.DocEntry]
i cant seem to get it to work - now this may be because the serial number is not allocated until teh record is added to the system, however when this happens i am unable to go back in and manually trigger the query as the delivery note rows cannot be selected!
i think as what im originally wanting an answer for is same as this example, im wanting to know if this is even possible?
Thanks

Failed to find out the source table of query in the formated search

Dear All,
I am trying to find out how to know the table that it is the source of a formatted search query. In the query manager --> formatted search --> select one of query --> double click to see the query. I see the query but I can't find out what table it will be used if the query like this :
SELECT $[$13.87.NUMBER] - ($[$13.9.NUMBER] + $[$13.88.NUMBER])
If I go to receipt from production form, the column no relate to the above query are mixture of IGE1 and OWOR, so what actually the table must I choose if I redesign the above query from query generator. I need your help to solve this question. I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Assuming the FS is currently assigned to a form field you could try the following:
- Look in OUQR for the query and get it's id (OUQR.IntrnalKey).
- Look for this id value in CSHS.QueryID and check the FormID value of any records listed. It's not the table name you're looking for but the FormID might help e.g. 139 = Sales Order = ORDR/RDR1 etc.
Hope this helps.

Andrew.

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

Formatted Search screen - populate multiple fields

I have an Employee Id field in my screen.
On clicking Choose button,I use a Formatted Search screen to populate value to that field.
I also have other fields like employee Name,department which should be populated, once an employee Id is chosen from Formatted Search screen.
The functionality is like that of "Purchase Order screen".
Once a vendor Id is chosen Name,Contact Person etc get populated in "Purchase Order screen".
How do I do that?
Should I trap the Choose button event of Formatted Search screen?
Please help.

I think all you are missing is a check to make sure you don't try and re-run the lookup when you are validating the return value from a previous lookup.
I made a minor change to my code and achieved the behaviour you described. I have extracted the relevant code from the application . Unfortunately it looses its indentation when I post it, so it might be quite hard to read. It uses recordsets for the validation as in practice most of the real validation is more complex than this cut-down sample.
This particular example is from a screen with a Customer Code prompt, and displays the customers name below it.

John.

Search multiple folders and muiltiple files and combine to single file

I want to search multiple folders for muliple files and combine to single file name. The files I'm searching have same format, but where named
differently in each of there processes. Now I want to combine based upon -SearchFor .. I'm having a problem with -Filter $SearchFor
Code:
Function Search-Files{
Param([String[]]$Locations,[String[]]$SearchFor, $AppendTo)
Begin
If(-Not (Test-Path $AppendTo)){New-Item $AppendTo -ItemType File -Force}
Process
ForEach($Location in $Locations)
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Location -Filter $SearchFor -Recurse
ForEach($File in $Files)
Get-Content -Path $FIles.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
End{}
Search-Files -Locations "\\servera\public\t1\usa\saleshist\","\\serverb\public\t2\usa\saleshist\",-SearchFor "dodetail-cm.txt","somstr.txt",-AppendTo "\\virt1\Saleshist_data_load_files\saleshdr.load.csv"

I think you might want to use -Include instead of -Filter. Your -Include parameter accepts wildcards, i.e. *.docx or *somstr.txt
Your command to actually append the content should be:
Get-Content -Path $File.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
You had $Files.FullName which might behave unexpectedly, if at all.
Your actual command has several issues.
Search-Files -Locations "\\servera\public\t1\usa\saleshist\","\\serverb\public\t2\usa\saleshist\" -SearchFor "dodetail-cm.txt","somstr.txt" -AppendTo "\\virt1\Saleshist_data_load_files\saleshdr.load.csv"
You had commas following the lists of locations and searchfor terms, did that even work? Without seeing your source files or your target file I can only advise you so much, but ideally you would import-csv and export-csv. Depending on the contents,
you may be able to get away with get-content and out-file though.
I hope this post has helped!

How to display an error message after validation in Formatted Search?

Hi SBO experts,
if an error is detected on validation in a Formatted Search, how to display an error message to the user entering the data?
Thanks & Regards,
Raghu Iyer

i created a formatted search query & attached it to the field 'Quantity' at Line Item level in Sales Order screen. just for testing purpose, i eneterd the following code lines in the query validating 'Quantity'
if $[$38.11.0] > 50
begin
select @error = 1
select @error_message = 'Vendor code cannot begin to X sign.'
end
the system throws the error : Internal error (8180) occurred [Message 131-183]
actually, i need to display an error message to the user if Quantity is not in multiples of the OITM.SalFactor2
if $[$38.11.0] % (SELECT T0.[SalFactor2] FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.[ItemCode] = $[$38.1.0]) > 0
begin
select @error = 1
select @error_message = 'Error in Quantity.'
end
but, this expression to get the remainder itself seems to have some error
$[$38.11.0] % (SELECT T0.[SalFactor2] FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.[ItemCode] = $[$38.1.0])
i guess, % operator is used for modulo (to find the remainder of one number divided by another.) ? am i right ?

Formatted search

Hi
I will be very grateful if someone can help me with this query for a formatted search. The client want the user doing the purchase order to only see certain cost centres. So when a certain user uses SHIFT F2 only a list of certain cost centres must appear for the user to choose from.
So I have this query -
SELECT 'OcrCode' =
     CASE
          WHEN T0.UserSign = 55 THEN
          here I need this list - 'HOS' or 'TO' or 'TBC' or 'MC' or 'LOG'
     END
FROM OPOR T0 INNER JOIN POR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
INNER JOIN OOCR T2 ON T1.OcrCode = T2.OcrCode
INNER JOIN OUSR T3 ON T0.UserSign = T3.INTERNAL_K
WHERE T0.[DocNum] = $[OPOR.DocNum]
But it doesn't work.

Hi
Thank you for the replies
Gordon, your solution works just right but the reason why I needed a case statement is that there are 10 different users who may create a document - sorry I should have explained more carefully. I tried Hoe Pham Huy's query as well but when I shift F2 nothing happens.
So what is neccessary is -
- if the usersign = 55 then a list with 'HOS', 'TO', 'TBC', 'MC', 'LOG'
-if the usersign = 20 then 'LEG', 'HOS'
and so on....
It seemed to me that a case statement would best accommodate this requirement but it doesn't seem to work when I try it.
Is it possible to change your query to accommodate multiple users?

Danie

Compile multiple source files

sorry, this is maybe a newbie question.
but iI have a problem compiling an application that use multiple sources files
for exemple
the class A is in the file 1
the class B is in the file 2
class A uses an instance of the class B
class B uses an instance of the class A
so i'm unable to compile these files coz each one tells me he doesn't know about the other
Is there a way to define prototypes of class or fonctions before their use like in C/C++?
Or is there another way i didn"t pay attention
thanks all

This is a minimal explanation of packages. For a full explanation of packages and how to compile and run Java programs, see this page:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/tools.html
and read the Setting the Classpath and the How Classes are Found topics.
Assume that your programs are part of a package named myapp, which is specified by this first line in each source file:
package myapp;
Also assume that directory (C:\java\work\) is listed in the CLASSPATH list of directories.
Also assume that all your source files reside in this directory structure: C:\java\work\myapp\
Then a statement to compile your source file named aProgram.java is:
C:\java\work\>javac myapp\aProgram.java
And a statement to run the program is:
java myapp.aProgram
(This can be issued from any directory, as Java will search for the program, starting the search from the classpath directories.)
Explanation:
Compiling
A class is in a package if there is a package statement at the top of the class.
The source file needs to be in a subdirectory structure. The subdirectory structure must match the package statement. The top subdirectory must be in the classpath directory.
So, you generate a directory structure C:\java\work\myapp\ which is the [classpath directory + the package subdirectory structure], and place aProgram.java in it.
Then from the classpath directory (C:\java\work\) use the command: javac myapp\aProgram.java
Running
Compiling creates a file, aProgram.class in the myapp directory.
(The following is where people tend to get lost.)
The correct name now, as far as java is concerned, is the combination of package name and class name: myapp.aProgram (note I omit the .class) If you don't use this name, java will complain that it can't find the class.
To run a class that's NOT part of a package, you use the command: java SomeFile (assuming that SomeFile.class is in a directory that's listed in the classpath)
To run a class that IS part of a package, you use the command java myapp.aProgram (Note that this is analogous to the command for a class not in a package, you just use the fully qualified name)

Link Formatted Search to BP

Hi
I would like to attach a query to a UDF on the BP Master Data.
When executed I would like it to display the results based on the current BP number on the header.
What do I need to add to my query to acheive this.
Thank you in advance.
SELECT T0.[DocNum], T0.[CardCode], T0.[CardName], T0.[U_ABBA_SPuCall], T0.[U_ABBA_SRecDoc], T0.[U_ABBA_SBProdStat], T0.[U_ABBA_SBArtStat], T0.[U_ABBA_SBRecStat], T0.[U_ABBA_ProdSch], T0.[DocDate], T0.[DocDueDate], T0.[U_ABBA_IntNotes], T0.[DocTotal] FROM ORDR T0 WHERE T0.[DocStatus] = 'O' AND T0.[U_ABBA_SBProdStat] = '4'

Hi,
The formatted search can return multiple values back in a list. Having multiple values though would not work well when auto-refreshing, but when running manually its fine.
Change your query to be:
SELECT T0.\[DocNum\], T0.\[CardCode\], T0.\[CardName\], T0.\[U_ABBA_SPuCall\], T0.\[U_ABBA_SRecDoc\], T0.\[U_ABBA_SBProdStat\], T0.\[U_ABBA_SBArtStat\], T0.\[U_ABBA_SBRecStat\], T0.\[U_ABBA_ProdSch\], T0.\[DocDate\], T0.\[DocDueDate\], T0.\[U_ABBA_IntNotes\], T0.\[DocTotal\]
FROM ORDR T0 WHERE T0.\[DocStatus\] = 'O' AND T0.\[U_ABBA_SBProdStat\] = '4' AND AND T0.\[CardCode\] = $\[$-5.CardCode\]

Date Difference Query Syntax Formatted Search

Hi Experts,
My client renders a service(warehousing of Cargo) on time and material basis,therefore the Quantity column of the AR Invoice represents the number of days the cargo was warehoused.
I want to create a formatted search with reference to a query on this field to help me compute the number of days automatically. The number of days is normally calculated by Subtracting the the Admission date(Serial Number Details Table "OSRI", field "InDate" from the document date of the invoice) from the AR invoice document date.
Considering that the Item is serial number managed, the item serial number will connect the Serial Number details table to the AR Invoice table.
Can anybody help me with the syntax of the query that will achieve the above for me.
Waiting to hear from you .
Thanks

If you have many serial numbers for an item, there will be no way to identify which serial number was actually selected in the invoice till the time the Invoice is added.
So knowing the Serial Number that was selected on that Invoice is important and what you select in the Serial number selection window on the Invoice is stored in temporary location and cannot be referencing by looking into OSRI table.
If there are multiple serial numbers with different InDate's, how could you calculate?
Is there a Delivery Step? Delivery > Invoice
OR
Do you copy SO > AR Invoice directly

Format with Multiple columns

Hi Crystal gurus.
I'm having the report which consist of more that 500 rows , so therefore I decided to implement "Format with multiple rows" feature, which is available in Section Expert area. Everything is just fine, I'm getting multiple columns, but how to suppress the header which is not needed for the last page, because the records are only in the first column.
I can easily copy/paste the header as such, but I do not know how to suppress it. Tried to search here, but found nothing.
Many thanks in advance Mcmerphy

If it truely is the last page of the report, you could try a conditional suppression where pagenumber = totalpagecount. But this would always suppress the header selected for suppression, and if you should get another column on the last page, it will still suppress.

Formatted search logistic tab

hello,
I have a problem: I want to copy using formatted search, in return document , in logistic tab, the supplier's address and not the warehouse address, this is my query but i'm not able to find the trigger to Taking automatic query, how can i do it?
SELECT T0.[Address], T0.[Street], T0.[ZipCode], T0.[City] FROM CRD1 T0 WHERE T0.[CardCode] = $[$4.0.0]

You have to either use the CardCode or DocTotal for the refresh.
In System Init > Document Settings > General Tab......Use Warehouse Address is what drives the warehouse address to be used in all AP documents.
If you want to simply copy the Bill To address shown on the AP Return then you can use the FMS
SELECT $[$6.0.0]
If you want the address from the BP Addresses table then you should use the following Syntax in your SQL to let the Address in the structure on multiple lines
SELECT T0.Address + Char(13) + T0.Street + Char(13) + T0.Block + Char(13) + T0.City + ', '+ T0.ZipCode
FROM [dbo].[CRD1] T0
WHERE T0.CardCode = $[$4.0.0] AND T0.AdresType = 'B'
The AdresType determines which Address you want to pick 'B' for Billto and 'S' for Shipto
