Formatting issue in cheque printing

Hello!
We are using automatic payment for cheque printing using smartforms.
The printer is Epson LQ 300 +II and device type is EPESCP9.Printing was ok with EPESCP2 as well.
The cheque is printing perfect on QAS Server but when we print it in Production server,
one secondary window containig field (Amout figure) formatting is getting corrupted.
In print preview it shows field at right place but printer send it deep down another secondary window when printing.
Both secondary windows are not overlapping.
If I open smartform in PRD,it shows field at right place.
Its very urgent-cheques getting delayed ,so any suggestions would be welcomed.
Best Regards
Nouman

Hi Nouman,
Check with the printer admin the width and height the printer can print. This is important because the width you have set in smartform is more than the printer capable width.
Next check the page layout which you have used probably you might have used custom page format.
Check the above in SPAD transaction code.
If it is above then just reduce the width and height of the windows you have used in smartforms.

Issue in Cheque Printing using Laser Printer

Hi,
There is a requirement wherein cheque needs to be printed from F-58 using Laser Printer.I have created the custom page format for Cheque printing .Attached it to the custom device type that i have created(Copy of Device type HPLJIIID).Aslo i have attached the page format to the tray1 of the 'Tray Info' tab of Output devices in SPAD.
I am getting the print information correctly on the cheque but what happens is that the Printer gives an error message saying'Jam in Fuser Area' and the cheque has to be taken out of the rear door of the printer,it doesn't come out automatically.As a result for
printing the next cheque, printer has to be restarted.

Formatting issue with network printer

I have a bitmap report with a repeating frame (1/2" X 2") that
prints 3 across and 10 down per page in Reports 10g(9.0.4)
Text inside the frame is size 8 Helvetica. I am getting a huge difference
in formatting when I send it directly to network printer(in Unix) versus
when I do STD Screen in Pdf format and send it to local printer in windows.
Output in network printer is bigger and wider, it almost overflows from the
page, where as its perfectly fine when I display the output in Pdf and send it to
local printer.
Is there a way to fix this problem so the output looks exactly the same whether
you send it to network printer or to pdf?
thanks

Hi Arniko,
Have a look at : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_05/bi.904/b13673/pbr_font.htm I think it offers a good starting point to troubleshoot the issues when printing fonts in reports on Unix.
Thanks,

EBS Cheque Format - ETEXT direct to Printer in ASCII

Hi
With expert assistance from Kevin Woodrow I now have cheque formatting generating ETEXT ASCII output correctly - this to be sent directly to a character printer.
Sending the output ASCII file to the printer with a UNIX lp command gets the ASCII characters correctly formatted onto the printer sized and spaced to fit the pre-printed stationary.
When the same printer is defined as the destination in the Payment Process Profile (many different options tried in printer definition) then the EBS printing sub-system translates the ASCII text into a bit-mapped representation - and sends it to the printer - which prints readable output, but the size and spacing is now changed so that it does not at all fit the pre-printed stationary.
Anyone know how to define a printer as an ASCII TEXT device so that the the ASCII characters generated by XMLP ETEXT are sent directly to the printer with no modification at all?
Thanks in advance.
Mike

PRINT FORMAT issue

Hi ALL,
We have recently upgraded to ECC 6.0.
We are facing an issue with the print format. In the BG job, we have set the page format as 'X_65_132', but when it is creating the spool it is changing the format to X_65_255.
Please give your valuable suggestions on what could be the reason for this?

most probably this is an unicode issue.
/correction
my above statement is crap. it should be the printer setting which make this happen.
just try the proposal of the poster below.

Cheque Printing issue in T.Code FBZ5

Dear Expert,
we r using transaction code FBZ5 for cheque printing.we have two cheque both have different size.
Is it possible assign two script for cheque printing in T.Code FBZ5.
Any other solution availabel for two different size cheque printing

Dear Pavan,
As per customization settings, you can assign one FORM for cheque printing against Payment Method 'C' at a time.
Check T.Code FBZP.
If you have different Co.Codes, then it is possible to create a new FORM and assign to other Co.Code for same Payment Method.

ICal printing/format issues

I can not get my iCal to print entirely on a single page (standard 8.5 x 11) OR in color. Under normal circumstances I would say it's my printer...but I have no issues at all printing my MS Office Calendar or anything else. Is anyone else having this issue? Any help would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks!

Where do I start - it was an easy but long winded process. Firstly when you plug your iPod in and start iTunes you have the option of just pressing "sync" at the bottom. Each time you sync this way the colours on the iPod remain the same not necessarily the same as in iCal but the same on the iPod. With the iPod plugged in go to the "info" tab and right down the bottom choose "Replace information on this iPod" and click the "calendars" checkbox. You will then see "Apply" on the bottom right. Click this and the iPod will just sync from your calendar. Each time you do this the colours change on the iPod. Repeat this process as many times as you wish until you get the colours the way you want them. When you have done this go to iCal and highlight the calendar you want to change the colour for then right click or hold ctrl and left click (if you have a single button mouse). Then "get info". In this tab you will see the colour for the calendar. Click to change it to the same colour as on your iPod. Do this for each of your calendars. Next time you sync your iPod on the main summary screen the colours should stay the same. Painful, I know but a work around non the less.

How to print Spool requests for cheque printing sequentially

Dear All,
I am making vendor payments and printing cheques using F-58. It automatically creates a spool requests at the end of the transaction. When i complete all my payments and go to SP01 for viewing spool requests, the last request appears at the top of the list.
If i select 3 consecutive requests and print them at a time, the last request gets printed first on the first cheque number and the first request gets printed on the last cheque number.
This results in anomaly in the cheque number assigned in the system and the printed cheque as the last payment is printed on the first cheque.
I am using dot matrix printer with page format fixed for cheque specifications. The cheques are printed properly as per the format except the order of printing.
Kindly let me know how to print multiple requests sequentially from the spool requests list such that the spool request number printed matches with the serial cheque numbers.
Regards,
SAP_2009

Hi,
I understod your issue.
Whenever you posted multiple payment documents, and after that if you want to take cheque printouts sequentially by using more spool requests.........there is a way to sort out this issue.
1) Select all of your spool requests and click on Sort in ascending Order (CtrlShiftF5) and click on Print directly (CtrlShiftF8). By doing this you will get the cheque printouts sequentially according to your payment document sequence.
Hope this will help you
Assign ********, if it solved your problem.

CHEQUE PRINTING

Hi experts,
I need to split a string into characters which are later assigned into a data structure of an internal table.For example,string 'abcd' split into 'a','b','c','d' which is assigned to component1...component2 of a structure.
What am trying to do is regarding cheque printing,where for an amount in the check I need to write the place values in words.For instance,2561 should be written as :
Hundred Million Ten Million Million Hundred Thousand Ten Thousand Thousand Hundred Tens Units
TWO FIVE SIX ONE
So I'm splitting the figure into characters and writing a CASE ENDCASE to write in words.
Someone help me brainstorm on this.

Given the function text you included, I assume that you have customised one of the APXPBF??.rdf files for your cheque format.
From the logic in the standard C_WORD_AMOUNT column (APXPBFOR.rdf), the * you are getting is used for padding the value to the width of the layout field that the column is displayed in. If the layout field is 40 characters wide, then you shouldn't be changing the width to 44 in your code.
Have you checked whether the output file for the request is correct or not? It is possible that it is an issue with printing the file, rather than generating the file.
If the output file doesn't have the right output, I would suggest that you add some srw.message(0, '<debug message>') type calls at various points in your code - these debug messages will appear in the log file and will help you check the actual content of the word amount column, independently of the formatting used to display it on the output.
If the problem was with the prt file (which defines the maximum character width of the output for the printer driver), I would have thought that you would be having the concurrent request failing with error (something like "Body does not fit within enclosing object" from memory) rather than just cutting off the results.

Explain flow of standard cheque print program

Hi All,
Can anybody explain the flow of standard cheque print program RFFOUS_C.
The standard cheque print program will use Z form layout to print cheque and remittance advice.I have to add few form routines for RFFOUS_C. Also explain the functions of below mentioned form routines.
Form routines:
FM_CHQ_AMT
Move protective u201C*u201D from field REGUD-SWNES and load value into AMOUNT_CHEQUE.
FM_REMOVE_STAR
Move protective u201C*u201D from field REGUD-SWNES and load value into AMOUNT_FIXED.
Append the currency to the end of the value in AMOUNT_FIXED (if Currency = ZAR u2013 append the value R)
FM_CHQ_AMT_WORDS
u2022 Remove extra spaces from the amount in words
u2022 If currency = ZAR insert the word RANDS after the Rands amount else insert the value in field REGUD-WAERS
u2022 Combine Rands value and the cents value with the text -AND- (i.e. Rands value u2013AND- cents value)
u2022 End the cents value with the text CENTS
u2022 End the amount in words with the text u201C-ONLYu201D.
u2022 If the amount text is longer than 52 characters split the text into two lines (line 1 (AMOUNT_WORD_1) may hold 52 characters and line 2 (AMOUNT_WORD_2) may hold 62 characters u2013 maximum capacity for writing cheques).
u2022 Overlay any spaces with the character u201C|u201D

International Payment Medium - Check (with check management)
Description
This program prints prenumbered check forms or non-prenumbered checks whose number is to be assigned from a predefined number range, and links the check number to SAP payment document number or the check number to the settlement result.
In addition to the checks, you can print their payment advice notes and payment summaries in one program run.
Requirements
Check lots
The checks which are ready for printing are divided up into lots. The user can freely define the criteria by which lots are formed (for example, location of check storage, accounting clerk or printer). The check numbers of a lot must be consecutive.
A lot is assigned to the checks to be printed via a parameter whose number you define via the corresponding check lot management in the system.
After entering the lot number, the print program independently searches for the first free check number (even if this is in the next lot rather than in the lot specified).
Payment Program Configuration
The parameters that control the way in which the payment medium programs function are configured in Customizing. For more information on configuring the payment program, refer to the Implementation Guide.
1. Here you need to make specifications for the paying company code. To do this, select the relevant paying company code by choosing Paying Company Codes ->.
If payment advices are to be printed, define a SAPscript payment advice form for use with all company code payment methods. You will find the form F110_D_AVIS as an example in the standard system.
You need to create and enter text modules in which the texts for the header, footer, signature and sender are stored. These modules can be included in the forms when they are used. To do this, choose Sender Details, from where you can also branch into text maintenance by selecting the modules. The names of the text can be defined by the user, for example F_0001_HEADER for the letter header in company code 0001.
2. Here you need to allocate the name of the payment medium program RFFOUS_C to the payment method to avoid incorrect payment media being issued with another program by mistake.
Furthermore, you can enter a short name (or 'print dataset', for example LIST1S) which makes it easier to find the generated forms in the print manager.
To do this, first choose Payment methods in country, then select the country of your paying company code and the payment method you require, and then maintain the data necessary for printing the form.
3. Here you need to make company code specifications for the payment method. To do this, choose Payment Methods In Company Code, then select the paying company code and the payment method. In this menu maintain the following data by choosing Form data or Payment Advice Control:
The SAPscript form for payment media (F110_PRENUM_CHCK in the standard system).
The issuer data.
Sorting the correspondence.
Sorting the line items.
The number of note to payee lines on the form and the payment advice note output in accordance with the specified number of lines
If you specify as many as required note to payee lines on the form then Payment Advice Output According to Number of Lines controls whether in addition a payment advice is always created or not.
Note: The issuer details are used on the payment medium for city and signature in the standard system:
Line 1 Name 1 of issuer
Line 2 Name 2 of issuer
Line 3 Blank
Line 4 City.
Setting up and changing the SAPscript forms (layout sets)
The following describes the layout of the SAPscript forms in brief. If the forms available in the standard system are sufficient for your requirements, you can skip this part of the documentation.
You can find further information on forms and the SAPscript editor in the guides on styles and form maintenance and word-processing in the SAPscript editor: Select the menu path Help -> SAP Library.
1. When setting up SAPscript forms (layout sets), symbols are included in the text; these are then replaced by actual values when the payment medium programs are run. The fields which can be used for this are defined in the Repository and contained in the following structures:
REGUH Settlement data from the payment program
REGUP Edited invoice items from the payment program
REGUD Formatted data for printing the forms
SPELL Amounts and digits in words.
FSABE Data on accounting clerk.
Note that check forms can be issued in foreign currency only if the currency key is also printed on them. If forms are only to be filled out for local currency checks (on which no space is defined for the currency key) then you should remove the symbol for the currency key &REGUD-WAERS& from the check window. The program then prevents you from printing foreign currency checks.
2. If you want the document long text for an accounting invoice document to be printed on the payment advice form, you must make the following enhancement in element "Long text for invoice document" (specially designed for this purpose):
/: DEFINE &TXT& := '&REGUP-BUKRS()&&REGUP-BELNR(RF0)&&REGUP-GJAHR&'
/: INCLUDE &TXT& OBJECT BELEG ID xyz
The text ID that you must enter for this text (xyz) is defined in the configuration menu and can be read from there. In the standard system, text ID 0003 is predefined for the payment advice information.
Periodic processing
Before the payment medium programs can be started, the payment program run must have been successfully completed. Check the status of the payment run, or schedule the payment medium programs by specifying one or more variants.
Note: If you want to use th 'Payment document update' option, the payment documents must be updated between the time of the payment program run and the time of the payment medium program run.
Output
Forms and lists
Printout files are created per company code and house bank. These can either be printed via the print manager or immediately. Depending on the parameter you select, you can print out one or more of the following:
Payment medium
Payment advice notes (if the information cannot be sent via EDI)
Payment summary
Error log
The number of output files is specified in the flow trace; this makes finding and allocating them within the print manager easier.
Note: If the program was started online, then you reach the print manager from the list by selecting one of the output files displayed.
Payment Advice Notes
In addition to being able to print payment advice notes, you can also send these via EDI, fax or email.
1. To send a business partner a payment advice note via EDI, you need to select the indicator Payment advice note per EDI and maintain the partner agreement on screen "Payment Transactions Accounting" in the master record.
Using an external converter, the IDoc created by the program can be converted into the EDI format you require (REMADV for example) and then sent.
2. To send a business partner a payment advice note by fax or email, you must use the process interface 00002040 (Business Transaction Events) to define the selection of the message type (printout, fax or email). Before you can do this, however, you must have carried out the necessary technical (Basis) settings for faxing or sending emails.
Process interface 00002050 can also be used to change or configure the print parameters and the parameters for optical archiving for payment advice notes.
Check management
You can access information about the issued checks via check management, line item display for sub-ledger or bank accounts, or invoice and payment document display. A check register list can also be created for the respective payment run. Errors occurring during check number and document number allocation can also be rectified using check management. You can find check management within Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable, both parts of Financial Accounting, as well as under the "Environment" menu option in the payment program.
For more information on check management, esp. about detailed solutions to possible error situations, refer to the FI Accounts Payable manual under Help->R/3 Library.
Error messages and error log
Termination of processing
You can find out the reason why processing was terminated (for example, production run not yet carried out, form does not exist or is not active) by looking at the error message or the related long text.
Internal SAPscript error
Check the layout of the forms. It must fulfil the above-mentioned conditions. You cannot, for example, create a bank transfer with the check print program, since bank transfers and checks have a completely different layout structure.
Error log
If errors which do not terminate the payment medium program occur when creating the output, the system lists them in the error log. If such a log is created, you must look it over because only you can decide whether the payment medium or payment advices are useless due to the errors the system finds, and decide whether they must be recreated after the errors have been rectified.
During background processing, the system outputs the error log twice, in the flow trace for the job and in a printout file. The flow trace contains information on how to rectify the errors (from the error message long texts).
You can display the long text online by choosing the error log from the list of generated output files and then the error message in question.
Close the thread once your question is answered.

Its a temporary fix and is still looking for the HP driver when i boot up. It also will not save in any print or postscript format. Does anyone know how to fix?

Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

Crystal for VS 2010 - formatting issues in viewer (extra space) again

We're having the same problem as the one in this thread link:[Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 - Report formatting issues in viewer (extra space);. There's no resolution in the thread and it's been closed. I'm hoping that creating a new thread may cause someone to answer this problem.
We have a Windows App that we just converted to .NET 4.0 and updated the viewer to the Crystal Reports Viewer in VS 2010. When we open a report that has a large block of static text in paragraphs left-aligned the spacing around punctuation is awful - there's almost a tab's worth of space between the last letter and the period. U.S. looks like US. This happens both with reports that were created in VS2008 and ones that were created in VS2010. It is only a problem in the viewer's display - if we print to a printer or export to PDF the spacing around punctuation is fine. It's also not a problem on our development workstations which are running Windows 7, but is a problem on our test servers which are running Windows 2003 Server. I ran the modules tool and found that the version of usp10.dll does match what the previous thread said it should be and it's coming from the c:\program files\sap businessobjects\crystal reports for .net framework 4.0\common\sap businessobjects enterprise xi 4.0\win32_x86\ folder. On my development machine when I run the modules tool I notice that a second instance of usp10.dll is called which is the version installed with Windows 7. We've tried changing fonts but none of the ones we've tried (originally in Times New Roman, 12, tried Arial, Times and various sizes) have made a difference. We also tried changing the print options with no improvement. The only thing that makes it slightly better is full-alignment but our customer insists that it be left-aligned.

Re. the other thread. I never did receive a sample of the report to test with. Perhaps I can get one from you? I need you to ensure that the issue occurs with a "saved data" report. If it does, let me know if you can share it and I'll contact you via email. My comment in the other thread re. available time, priorities, etc., still applies. Also, just to be clear. Service Pack 2 for CRVS2010 is closed now. Thus if I am able to reproduce the issue the fix will be targeted for October \ November time frame - no guarantees though...
