Formatted Search returns no values

Good Afternoon
Experts:
I have a situation where I am using a Formatted Search on the BINS column of the Inventory Tab matrix for the ItemMaster Data screen. It works great...displays the information I am looking for. Here it is:
Select T0.U_BinLoc AS 'Bin Location', T0.U_WhseCode AS 'Warehouse', T0.U_ItemCode AS 'Item Code', T0.U_Quantity AS 'Qty in Bin' FROM [@ITEMBIN] T0 where T0.U_ItemCode = $[OITM.ItemCode]
Issue:
If there are no entries in the @ITEMBIN table for the item in the ItemNumber field, the FormattedSearch box does not pop-up. Good so far. However, the screen changes to Update mode.
Questions:
1)Is there some kind of "no result invisible" character that is getting returned back to the column behind the scenes?
2)How can I alleviate this behavior and just have the screen stay in OK mode if there are no results from the Formatted Search?
Thanks,
Ed

John:
I was not aware I could utilize that type of functionality in the query for a formatted search. Thanks for the suggestion...I will try it.

Currency Formatted Search problem

Hi
I am trying to creat a formatted search for the marketing docs price / unit price field that populates the field with the currency and money value. I have a lookup table defined in sap where i store the currency and price i want to populate the udf with, based on certain conditions from udf's on the marketing doc's lines.
when i try to type in a price manually on the form e.g. USD 1 SAP accepts the value with no problems, however business one only lets me insert the actual money value in the field and then inserts the default currency ie if my local currency is ZAR and my formatted search returns a price of 1 then SBO automatically formats the field as ZAR 1.
If i want to insert a value of USD 1 into the field with the formatted search then SBO returns an error message. I have tried variations such as returning 'USD 1', '1 USD', '1USD', 'USD1' with the formatted search, all of which return an error message. However if i manually type any of the examples in SBO accepts them and formats the column correctly.
This is quite an important functionality requirement as the customer needs the ability to have different currencies on different lines of a marketing document.
I have also tried using pricelist lookups with the formatted search but experience exactly the same problem in that i cannot specify the currency in the formatted search.
If anyone has experienced this problem please let me know if you were able to come up with a solution as manually capturing the prices per line is not an option (documents are often in excess of 500 lines)

Hi Philip,
Your question is obviously about functionality of the B1 application - rather than the B1 SDK - and thus might fit better into the "SAP Business One" Forum: SAP Business One Application
However, I tried to use the non-LC in a Formatted Search in B1 2007 - and I didn't have a problem with that.
Maybe it's just a bug (that has been fixed)?
Maybe you should consider using an Add-On / SDK?
Maybe there's just sth wrong in your query? ...are you sure that your "USD 1" variations are exactly as you wrote?

Frank

Formatted search with UDF and syntax question

Can you explain the syntax with when to use the dollar sign and negative in writing a query for a formatted search based on user entry?
I now want to create a formatted search to pull values based on the user's entry into a UDF on the item master screen.
User entry into UDF U_Customer Code
to create Formatted search for UDF U_Rep01
I tried the following, but it does not work.
SELECT T0.U_REP01 FROM dbo.OCRD T0
WHERE T0.CARDCODE = $http://$OITM.U_CUSTOMERCODE
Thanks.
Please advise.

The right syntax would be like this:
SELECT T0.U_REP01 FROM dbo.OCRD T0
WHERE T0.CARDCODE = $[OITM.U_CUSTOMERCODE\]
However, the logic of query may not be correct. Select something must be already in the system and Where should also be locatable.
Thanks,
Gordon

Fill Find edit box of Formatted search screen

Hi,
I have an edit box and a choose button.
when I click on that choose button I get a formatted search screen.
I want the value typed in the edit box to be defaulted in the
Find Edit box of the foratted search screen.
Say I type "1" in my edit box, My formatted search screen should pop up having "1"
in the Find edit box and results pertaining to value "1"(like wild card search)
should be displayed in the formatteed search screen.
Can anyone tell me as how to implement this?

The reference to $[x.0.0] was simply meant to point you towards using the formatted search syntax for selecting fields from the current screen for use in your query.
The two techniques I mentioned were not meant to be used together, you could either use the sendkeys, or the $[x.0.0] syntax depending on which result you wanted.
The $[x.0.0] syntax actually goes in the query that is saved for the formatted search, you don't need to do anything with it programatically at runtime, business one does it for you. You can get a formatted search to pick values up from the current screen by using syntax such as $[$4.0.0] or $[$OINV.CARDCODE]. This particular example will pick up the cardcode from a document screen. Look in the standard help file under Formatted Searches for more details.
I have attached a sample query showing how it can be used with fields based on userdatasources in custom screens. This one can be used to show product lookups out when the user has already keyed in a partial product code. At runtime the $[#018.UItem] reference automatically gets replaced with the value currently in the item field.
DECLARE @Item Varchar(20)
SET @Item = RTRIM($[#018.UItem]) + '%'
SELECT T0.ItemCode, T0.ItemName FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.ItemCode LIKE @Item FOR BROWSE
If you haven't seen this type of formatted search processing before, I would recommend you try to spend a little time learning it - it sometimes eliminates the need for writing SDK code at all.

John.

Formatted search values

Hello experts
How can I get access to formated search form?
How to return its marix values (it returns 3 values)? I can choose forms uniqal ID, but how can I get a specific row from it?
Or how can I display the list of indexes after puttin "*" in the column? what conditions must column have?

Thanks for your reply.
1. Well I think I could just make an Matrix object (its an item of formatted search form) and return its rows, am I right?
2. Could you explain me how to display list of indexes after putting * and tab in a matrix cell (I have no CFL)? I know it is possible but how should I bind column or maybe do sth else to gain this functionality?

Managed custom properties at site collection level when used as refiner returns no value in search result web part

I have created certain crawled properties and mapped them to the OOB managed properties( refineable active ) in search schema at site collection level and tried to use them as refiner in the search
site at farm level but it returns no value.
But when i use the same crawled property and map it to a service level OOB metadata property ( refineable active ) and use it in search as refiner it returns result , Can you help as to why this difference is there.
What steps should i do so that site level refiners also work in the enterprise search
Thanks in advance

Hi Dextar,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a site level refiner in SharePoint 2013.
Here is a detailed blog you can refer to:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/tothesharepoint/archive/2013/11/11/how-to-add-refiners-to-your-search-results-page-for-sharepoint-2013.aspx
Be aware that any changes in the manage property required full crawl.

I want to input two values, AWG and mils and return the value in the Days column.
In the instance of what I am showing .... AWG=2 AND mils=320 so Soak=110 ....
I want to search the columns (AWG) AND (mils) to return a value in the column (Days) for that row into cell H10 (Soak) ...
So far I have toyed with LOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH ....

SCW,
I'm sure there is a clever way to cascade functions to avoid adding an auxiliary column in your practice table, but to me it wouldn't be worth the aggravation. I would add a column that concatenates Columns A & B, AWG & mils. This column can be anywhere and would be Hidden. Let's say your new column is Column N.
In Column N, fill the body rows with:
=A&"-"&B
As good Numbers programming form would indicate, let's name the Practice Table Practices and only put the practices in that table. In another table where you do the lookup, let's call it Program, we will have the calculation/lookup.
Based on your example, I'd guess that AWG may be in Column D and mils in Column E of your Program table, and the Soak lookup in Column F. If I'm wrong, adjust the column id.
In Column F, write:
=OFFSET(Practices::I$1,MATCH(D&"-"&E, Practices::N,0)−1, 0)
The hyphen in the concatenated representation of the combination of AWG and mils is just tp make it more readable.
As I'm sure you know, you could use other approaches, but since I had you put your aux column at the end of your Practices table, OFFSET with MATCH is a clean approach. INDEX could be used too.
Here's an illustration:

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 .

How to Fetch the Row value in SBO Formatted search

Hi Experts,
I have created a Sales order, in which i have 4 UDF Fields(A,B,C,D) in the following:
Example values:
A B C D
2 2 4 4
3 2 6 10
C=A*B
D=1st value of D + 2nd col value of C
i have written query for C, but how to write the Formatted search Query for generation of D values. plz reply as soon as possible.

Magesh,
I quite understand what you are trying to do. If you look at the example below I added a third row to show how you want the D to be a running total of column C. RIGHT !!
A B C D
2 2 4 4
3 2 6 10
4 2 8 18
Honestly, it is not going to be simple as you do not have a way in SBO to access a particular column from a row. When you say $[$38.U_C] it refers to the context row OR the row which has the highlight OR the row which has the curson on it.
It is not possible to say $[$38.U_C from row 2] JUST NOT POSSIBLE ...
You have to write a tricky code by using a temp table referencing the value of column C. Also you have to keep track if Rows gets deleted and a new row added.
I will test a sample code and will come back.

Addition of two rows values in table using formatted search

hi all,
i have created one UDF field in market document rows, now in AR invoice i need to add the values in the UDF fields of two rows, want to show it in anather outside UDF in title. kindly suggest me some query to track that.
Ex:- i had entered two items in rows and
for first UDF row i have given 20
for second UDF row i have given 30.
now i need to show sum of the two UDF in two rows in title UDF.
kindly give me some query used for formatted search to do this task.
regards
sandip

Sandip,
To the best of myknowledge When you try to take the row value to the header the results of the Formatted Search are not consistent.
but for your interest, I am giving below the logic to work this out.
You need two Header level user fields. One to copy the row user fields value and the other to store the sum.
You can create a simple SQL "SELECT $[$38.U_UserFieldName] (substitute with row level user field name) and attach it to the first header level user field and make it Auto refresh on doc total.
Then Attached SQL "SELECT $[ORDR.U_HeaderUserField1] + $[ORDR.U_HeaderUserField2]"
The results could be flaky because the header user field takes the value of the active row and sometime it only considers the first row active though you might be entering the second row of data.
My recommendation would be to Use The Transaction Notification Stored Procedure for this by which you can be absolutely sure that the Header User field will have the sum.
Let me know if you need directions for this.

Suda

Formatted Search - Search in existing values

Hi,
In formatted search we have an option "Search in Existing values"
i need to know in which table the values we enter in this screen gets stored?
Manoj

Hi Manojkumar,
You need to turn on the "System Information" from within the "View" menu on the main toolbar (or as Juha said, use CtrlShiftD), but then go into the "Define New" option on the table.
This will open the linked form and when you hover over the data you are interested in the lower left hand side the screen will give you details of the table and field ID that you need for your query.
Hope this helps,
Julian

How can change the query where clause values in formatted search

Hi
I have a formatted search with the below sql
Select ItemCode,ItemName from OITM
where ItemCode like 'FX%'
how can I change 'FX%' to another value
I tried to make it as paramter
where ItemCode like $[ItemCode]
but I am receiving an error
sincerely yours
Riade Asleh

Try this:
Select ItemCode,ItemName from OITM
where ItemCode = $[$5.0.0]
5 = Item number of form (On item master data 5 is item-number)
0 = Column of item... since item 5 is no matrix 0 shoul be used.
0 = Casting type (0 is default, but int, string and date is possible)

Search help to return multiple values

Hi all,
I've created a search help and I'd like it to return several values to different fields, I don't want these fields to be seen on the selection screen.
For example:
1. User clicks on search help for FIELD1 and selects a value from the pop-up box
2. Program populates FIELD1 depending on the user selection
3. Program also populates FIELD2 and FIELD3 which can be used in the program at a later date.
I can do 1 and 2 but I'm having an issue with 3. I've tried selecting all fields in the search help as Export, but although that populates the fields in the search help test facility, it doesn't know which fields I want it to populate in my program.
I've also tried using FM F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST but can only get this to return one line in table RETURN_TAB.
The screen fields are declared as:
PARAMETERS: FIELD1 LIKE TAB1-FIELD1 MATCHCODE ZSEARCH_HELP,
FIELD2 LIKE TAB1-FIELD2 NO-DISPLAY,
FIELD3 LIKE TAB1-FIELD3 NO-DISPLAY.
Any help is appreciated.
Gill

Thanks for your suggestion but what I failed to put in my original post was that FIELD1 is a description field and FIELD2 and FIELD3 are the actual key fields for the table which I need.
So, I can't do your suggestion of populating them based on FIELD1, I need to know which line the user selects to populate these key fields as FIELD1 may not be unique within the table.
Does that make sense?
That's why I wanted the search help to return all 3 values then I can populate FIELD2 and FIELD3 from that.

Formatted search can we use current records values ?

Hi.. to all,
I have a need to get tax amount from current document at the time of entry before updating the entry by using Formatted search through saved query.
Can any body help me to resolve it ?
Regards..
Chintesh Soni

Hi,
You can get the value at entry time (for example on an invoice) by creating a search define query such as:
[code]SELECT $[OINV.VatSum][/code]
Then add the search define to a UDF that gets 'Auto Refresh When Field Changes', and select an option like 'Document Total' and 'Display Saved Values'. This way the search define query will refresh the tax value in the UDF when ever the total value changes i.e qty, unit cost, discounts get altered...
You'll need to alter the query to match different marketing documents and set the search defines on each one.
Hope this is of help
Kind Regards
Matthew
