Formatting date in Layout Designer

Hi all, I have to print a check and the payment document (pull from a variable field) shows the date as YYYYMMDD and I need this formatted as YYYY/MM/DD just using PLD
Any idea??
Thanks
Lucas

Hi Sandeep, I have date formated with the "/" separator in the system initialization. That is the problem, in the check the date appears without this separator as 20060614. And I wanted to know if I can format this throught PLD
Thanks

Hi Noor,
If you use Crystal for your reports then you can program the Crystal API to print each report to a particular printer. I've done this before and it works perfectly. I recommend you store the report and printer names in a user-defined table so they can be easily modified by the users. Then read these values before printing each report. The only thing to watch out for is that each user must have the same name for the printer on their local machine.
The following is an example for printing a report to a pre-defined printer (C# with Crystal 10):
string sPrinter = "";
string sUser = "";
string sPassword = "";
// Code goes here to read printer, user and password settings from the database (note: encrypt the password!)
try
     m_rptCrystal = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
     m_rptCrystal.Load(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath.ToString() + "
MyReport.rpt");
     if(sPrinter != "") m_rptCrystal.PrintOptions.PrinterName = sPrinter; // Blank = user's default printer
     SetCrystalLogin(sUser, sPassword, m_sboCompany.Server, m_sboCompany.CompanyDB, ref m_rptCrystal);
     SetCrystalParams("@MyParam", MyValue, ref m_rptCrystal);
     m_rptCrystal.PrintToPrinter(1, false, 0, 0);
     m_sboApp.SetStatusBarMessage("MyReport sent to printer...", SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, false);
catch(Exception ex)
     m_sboApp.SetStatusBarMessage("Print error: " + ex.Message, SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Medium, true);
private void SetCrystalLogin(string sUser, string sPassword, string sServer, string sCompanyDB,
                                                       ref CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument oRpt)
     CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Database oDB = oRpt.Database;
     CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Tables oTables = oDB.Tables;
     CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo oLogonInfo;
     CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo oConnectInfo = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo();
     oConnectInfo.DatabaseName = sCompanyDB;
     oConnectInfo.ServerName = sServer;
     oConnectInfo.UserID = sUser;
     oConnectInfo.Password = sPassword;
     foreach(CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table oTable in oTables)
          oLogonInfo = oTable.LogOnInfo;
          oLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = oConnectInfo;
          oTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oLogonInfo);

Adding data field in query print layout designer (PLD)

Dear Experts/Gurus,
I would like to add data field in query PLD in repetitive area1 but it can't. The query I made excluding sequence no., so I think I must use datafield for that. I use textfield in the repetitive area header1. is it correct what I have thought, I mean is it really datafield can't be add in the print layout designer if it is from query ? I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,

No you can't, you will have to recreate the query with the missing field and recreate a new print layout for this. Is still a flaw in SAP B1.
If you go to the service market place under education you can get the flashbook for the print layout design and the query manager and wizard, study them, they are of great help to understand the technology behind the PLD and the queries in SAP B1.

Print Layout Designer:Due date in Delivery document

In print layout designer in 2005 version for Delivery document when they preview the document in document printing it compute an automatic due date but if the preview was done in the delivery document itself the due date is the same as posting date.
And as to delivery document in SAP no due date will be computed because due date will be determine upon invoice. But upon checking on their database, the same layout/template was used in the preview of the document in the delivery itself and in the document printing. The due date used in the layout was delivery due date.
They want to apply the scenario of having automatic computation of due date in Delivery document in the print layout designer in their 2007 version. All details created in the Print layout designer in 2005 version are defined already in their 2007 version but when the document was preview in document printing no computation of due date.
Is the layout used in the preview of delivery document itself was different when i used the document printing and select the same document and preview it? Is it possible to compute the due date in delivery document?
Can someone help me?

Hi Paul,
Yes, we already informed our customer that in delivery document no due date will be computed. But my question is it is possible that the print layout used in the preview of delivery document itself was different when the preview is done in the document printing window? To preview the document in document printing, select or highlight one transactions and click preview.
When we check the customer database and preview the delivery document itself the due date is
the same as posting date but when i preview the document in the document printing when you check the
field due date it was not the same as posting date.
We check the layout and the field is Database Delivery: Due date. The layout name was also the same when we preview
the transactions in delivery document itself and in the document printing.
Can someone tell me if the layout was different in the document printing window under Sales A/R module?
Thanks,
Janice

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!

How to use query print layout design

i have a sql query and i want to see its result on report with the help of print layout design.

In addition to Tuvia's answer, here is the printing procedure of query PLD:
Printing User-Defined Queries
Use
After you have linked a user-defined query to a user report template, you can print it according to its linked print layout.
Procedure
To print a user-defined query, use one of the following two procedures:
Using the Query Print Layout window:
1. Choose Tools u2192 Queries u2192 Query Print Layout.
2. Choose the Reports tab page and select the query you would like to print.
3. Choose File u2192 Print.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
Using the Queries Manager window:
1. From the toolbar, choose with the quick info text Queries Manager.
2. Select the query you would like to print.
3. Choose File u2192 Print.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
You can also display a print preview for user-defined queries. To do so, choose File u2192 Print Preview.
Printing User-Defined Queries with Variables
Use
When a user-defined query contains variables, its linked print layout will also display the variables data and print them.
In the print layout linked to that query, you can see that an additional area containing the condition's parameters was added
There is pdf file relate to Query PLD in the SAP service marketplace website.

Print Layout Designer - inconsistent output

Hi,
We have received consistent compaint from our client that the output of Print Layout Designer are inconsistent.
Eg: The same PLD template is used for An invoice print out from 2 different workstation. However, workstation A display the format properly, workstation B will have missing lines between boxes or the alignment is not displayed properly.
We have also recently encountered the problem that our client export the invoice to Acrobat and then print it. However, it displays properly for workstation with Acrobat version 8, 9, but missing lines for version 7.
Another scenario could be the form is displayed properly on the screen, but the physical print out to a printer is not consistent.
We really appreciate some share of thoughts here. Is switching to other report writer, eg: Crystal Report, the only option?
Edited by: Shwu Hua Gan on Aug 10, 2008 2:57 AM

Gordon,
Thanks for replying.
This is what happen to our client.
The font size of the customised PLD SAP Invoice is size 5. In order to preview the layout, they have to preview in PDF, once they are happy with the details and then print.
In some workstations, there are Adobe Reader version 8 or 9. In a couple of workstations, there are Adobe Acrobat version 9.
Let's say, there are 2 fields with the following properties:
Field A, Left = 0, Width = 10.
Field B, Left = 10, Width = 10.
Adobe Acrobat version 9 display the border of the field properly. However, those with Adobe Reader 8 / 9 will see gaps between fields.
If we change them as follows the field the gap;
Field A, Left = 0, Width = 10.
Field B, Left = 9, Width = 11,
Then those with Adobe Acrobat version 9 is missing the border for because Field A overlaps with Field B. But Adobe Reader 8/9 will print fine. It also works fine if user click 'Print Preview' as normal and then click 'Print'
Does anyone knows whether this inconsistencies is caused by
- printer drivers; or
- Adobe; or
- SAP Business One.

Here I want to access the CRD7 table in the PrintLayoutDesigner>Properties>Content-->Database.Is this Possible?

Transaction Journal Report - Print Layout Design

Hi all
Is it possible to add Journal Entry Project Codes to this Transaction Journal Report (Print Layout Design)?
I tried to add Journal Entry Project Codes to this system PLD but the result still not showing any Project Code.
Kedalene

Hi Kedalene Chong
ou don't need a list of variables to use them. Simply go to View -> System Information so whenever you hover around a field with the cursor, in the left bottom corner of the screen you will see the details of that screen along with the variable number if it is a variable.
So you will see something like:
[Form=139 Item=29 Pane=0 Variable=91]
-> in this case the variable number is 91 - use it in Print Layout Designer.
So you can just use the variable specified in these details. When creating the print layout, just go back to your form, stand on a field with your mouse and you will see what variable to use.
Also Check with the PLD Variables Note No 867048...

Import XSD to create Data type in Design

hi,
I know that we can import XSD in Design and create data type,my question is:
1. Can i import an XSD thats been created in message mapping and use that to create my data type in design.
(or)
2.Should i have to write an XSD on my own and then import it to create my data type, and is there any standard format to write it.

Hello Prashanth,
For your first question: i don't know exactly what you mean that the the xsd you create in the data mapping steps. So can you explain it in details?
For your 2nd question: Sure you can write your own XSD to create a data type. And i will give you an example xsd file format. Then you can import it in the XSD tab view.

How to use many format data into a template?

How to design a template but it can interface from many format data?

This is the one from 2010 but should still work.
http://www.bfcnetworks.com/blogs/alexpearce/pull-sharepoint-2010-document-properties-into-word-quick-parts/
You basically create a new document in the library (must have the columns you want into the word document), then you use the Quick
Parts to insert the data where needed. Then you save this document as your template. Then anytime someone creates a document in the library when you open the document it will read from the columns of the item.
I used a workflow and had the users actually update a SharePoint list, then that in turn creates a new document in the document library and populate the columns from the list form. Then You can send that document link to folks to download / print or whatever.
Is that what you are talking about?

FORM LAYOUT DESIGNING

Hi,
Can anyone suggest me the approach to go for FORM LAYOUT DESIGNING in ISU? As i need to convert existing client Letters into ISU Forms(proabably smart forms).
Secondly, if a client is having different body type (of letters) but same variable data, can we manage that in ISU? IF yes, then what care do we need to take before going for form layout design regarding different bodies of letters. How do we manage different body types of letter(with similar variable data) in ISU.
Thanks in advance.
Gaurav

Gaurav,
Can anyone suggest me the approach to go for FORM LAYOUT DESIGNING in ISU? As i need to convert existing client Letters into ISU Forms(proabably smart forms).
You need to identify 3 things:
1. Does SAP has standard app form vis-a-vis legacy form??
2. If 'YES', identify it all any addl fields are needed...add them
as required..make it a 'Z' form.
3. If 'NO', go for a 'Z form.
Secondly, if a client is having different body type (of letters) but same variable data, can we manage that in ISU? IF yes, then what care do we need to take before going for form layout design regarding different bodies of letters. How do we manage different body types of letter(with similar variable data) in ISU.
I hope above answers this Q too...addl things you need to remember is uploading logos using SE78.
Hope this helps

Print layout design (PLD) - Incoming Payment

Hi All,
Under incoming payment, can i have the details in terms of line by line? Somehow rather, the design that was produced by the 'system', they details of my payment is gather together in one box. How can i have it to be line by line? It looks more nicer to be given to my customer as an official receipt.
Anyone has come across on this?
Need your experts urgently.
Thanks.
Harith

Hi Harith,
The requirment what you are asking is not possible through PLD but the format what you have asked is possible through Query Print Layout Design.
