How to generate item codes automatically

Hi,
My customer wants that the inventory item code be generated automatically based on its description. The code should have:
- 3 first characters of the description
- A sequential increased number, to make the code unique.
e.g. the item called "Petrol" should have the code "pet004".
To achieve this, I have created a database procedure. So the user that works in "Item Master" form, will fill out "description" field and the "Item" field should be automatically populated based on the return value of this procedure.
Is there any way how to achieve this through personalization?
Or, is there any standard way that Oracle offers for automatic generation of item codes?
Thank youl

Hi,
You have to do it using forms personalization.
Thanks,
PS.

How i Rename Item Code and Description

Dear All,
Can you please tell me how i change Item code and item description in sap b1 8.8.

This can be very annoying. If there's a typo in the product code, we cannot update it anymore (since there are already transactions with this product) and the item is not displayed in the correct place when the item list is sorted on the item code. We can start a new product with the correct code and transfer the items in stock to the new product code, but then all the current transactions are still linked with the old/deprecated product. Very annoying.
If someone could find a method to rename the item code without losing the linked transactions, this would really be helpful. Thanks!

Dear Mona,
In order to resolve the issue, please do the following steps :-
1. Create a Initial Item code I0000 manually in the application.
2. Save the following query :-
Select max(Itemtype)
+ cast(substring( max(Itemcode), 2, len(max(Itemcode)))
+ 1 as nvarchar(10)) from OITM
Where Itemtype = $[OITM.Itemtype]
3. Create a formatted search based on the above query and assign it to the itemcode field. (Open Item master in add mode )
4. Then select refresh the formatted search regularly with the Item description change.
5. Then Go to item master data in add mode put something in item code field and then type the correct item description and click tab.
Now your Itemcode field will display as "I0001".

How to generate web.xml automatically?

Hi all!
I am new to servlets. I have configured the tomcat 5.5.9 with eclipse 3.0 succussfully. It is generating the class files. But I want to know how to generate web.xml through it.
Thanks in advance...
Code Snooker

AFAIK, there's no template for generating web.xml.
Navigate to <TomcatInstallDir>/webapps/
You would find lot of directories - each one being a web application.
Navigate to any one, say ROOT and then to the WEB-INF directory
under that.
You would find a web.xml.
Copy it into your <web-application-dir>/WEB-INF folder and make necessary changes
cheers,

How to generate Voucher Codes in CRM 7 EHP1

Hallo all,
we have currently set up a CRM7 EHP1 system to check out the latest functions. I try to get the new voucher functions working. I customized the voucher stuff as described in the documentation (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm700_ehp01/helpdata/EN/f1/7eb3ccd1ba4a27a8f2ecc07664f7e6/frameset.htm)
I defined the voucher code variants, a number range for my vouchers and I implemented the BAdI.
My question now is: how and when are the voucher codes generated? I created a campaign of my voucher type and assigned a simple segment. Then I changed the status to 'released' but nothing happened. Even after explicitly executing the campaign, nothing happened, the number range interval still starts with 0 so no codes were generated. My BAdI implementation is supposed to write the generated code into some db table but that table is empty.
Does anyone have a clue how I get the codes to be generated?
Thanks and best regards,
Martin

Have you created the mail form and attached the mail form to the campaign you created?
In the mail form, you have to insert the coupon code attribute in the mail form. you can found that in
mail form-> Text Element section, click on attribute button -> Attribute Category to be selected as Campaigns.
The coupon code will be generated when you execute the campaign and the segment receives email.
Hope this helps.

How to generate GUI code from parsed XML file?

hai,
I have to generate GUI code after parsing any configuration XML file as input.Now i have parsed my XML file and got its attributed and i want to get some idea of how to map the parsed XML attributes to the java code to build GUI code.

Hello,
1. I like to create data type from a XML file structure, which contains the data structure ?
XML fields will need to be taken note of to see which is repeating or not. You can also load the XML into a third-party tool such as Altova XML Spy and then generate an XSD from there. You will need to import the XSDs into PI under external definitions. However, this does not guarantee business interoperability, as such, it is always best to ask the provider for the XSDs or WSDL. It will also save you a lot of time from guessing which fields are needed or not.
2. How to create custom node function in graphical mapping editor ?
In your graphical mapping editor, on the lowest left corner, there is an icon there that says Create New Function. You must take into account their return types:
1. Single Values = String
2. Queue/Context (no return type) thus resultList is used.
Hope this helps,

How to generate html-code using csv input with JSP or JAVA???

Hello,
I want to read out a .csv-file and generate html-code dynmically with JSP in an EP6 Application. The problem is, that the csv-file cant be located or openend.
BTW if every knows a good tutorial or weblog for this, please post the link.
Its located in a par-archive under:
/>dist>files
I tried various methods, in the doContent mehtod or with JSP. Everytime same result.
Here part of the code I tried in the doContent():
public class CSV extends AbstractPortalComponent
 public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
 String strWRoot = request.getWebResourcePath();
 String contentCSV="", line="";
 String linesep = System.getProperty("line.separator");
 File fileLoadCSV = new File(strWRoot+"/files/ma_infosysteme.csv");
 boolean exCSV = fileLoadCSV.exists();
 boolean reCSV = fileLoadCSV.canRead();
 int a=0;
 if(exCSV&&reCSV){
 response.write("ok");
 try {
 BufferedReader inputCSV = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileLoadCSV));
 while((line=inputCSV.readLine())!=null){
 contentCSV=contentCSVlinelinesep;
 a++;
 inputCSV.close();
 catch(IOException ioex){
 System.out.println("Fehler");

 response.write(" Wroot: "+strWRoot);
 response.write(" File: "+fileLoadCSV);
 response.write(" exists: "+exCSV);
 response.write(" read: "+reCSV);

The Output is:
not ok
Wroot: /irj/portalapps/DHTML
File: \irj\portalapps\DHTML\files\ma_infosysteme.csv
exists: false
read: false
Input:
So thanks to everyone who can give me a good hint.
Bye.

Without really looking too much into this it looks like the problem is with the way in which you are trying to open the file. I believe that when creating a File object you need to use a physical path. By using the getWebResourcePath() method you are retrieving the URL to this file and not the physical path name. There is another method (can't remember the exact name) called getPublicResourcePath() (or something similar) which will return the physical path to this file, i.e. c:\usr\sap\.....etc. If you try it this way it may well work
I hope this helps

How to create Item Codes with multiple Item Description

Hi,
for one of my client, we need to create Item Codes with multiple Item Description.
e.g.,
Item Code - M00285
Item Description 1 - Blue Paint
Item Description 2 - Red Paint
Is that possible in SAP Business One? If "Yes" kindly provide a solution. Else recommend an alternative method.
Regards,
Ammheya U. Naaik

Ammheya,
I just wanted to add that there is an Add-On that handles "Style, Color, Size" situations like yours.
It allows you to define a "master" item, (Paint, for example) and then setup the various styles, colors and sizes it comes in.
This creates sub-items for each with the master in the ItemCode (Paint-Blue, Paint-Red, etc)
It's called MatrixOne from Navigator. You could find it on the partner portal with other Add-Ons.
Hope thathelps,
Brad Windecker

How to generate customer invoices automatically?

We are doing direct debit for some of our clients based on the billing plan.
I know that it is possible to create customer invoices automatically based on the billing plan, but do not know the details how to trigger the process.
Imagine I have created the billing plan for the billing WBS-element. What should be done next to post the customer invoice automatically?
Many thanks for your help!

Hi Mrinal,
I do not know much about SD process, in fact I am mostly interested in FI invoices to be generated and posted while having the most dummy SD flow possible.
What exactly does VF04, what are prerequisites to run it, and what are the follow up steps? My starting point is the billing plan maintained for the WBS-element, while the target is FI customer invoices posted, so what are the missing steps in between?
Many thanks.

How to generate a query automatically?

Hello,
I set up a PreparedStatment pstmt = conn.prepareStatment(" select distinct ? from table ")
and then
pstmt.setString(1, "country")
and I use ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery()
but the result is not what I expect.. It only returns "country"
if I change it to stmt = conn.createStatement("select distinct country from table")
it works
So, how can I generate a query like this automatically?
Thanks!

The query you posted means "return the first argument once for every row in the table called 'table'." What is it you are trying to do?
And, you may want to post this on the JDBC forum rather than here.

How to generate a class automatically in JDev

Suppose from OS side, I create a new empty Java file in the src directory of a project in JDev. Then in JDev, I click on the "refresh"/reload button for that project. Now I see the new java file. Double click it to open it; it is blank. In this case, how can I generate a class using the file name as the class name, and a default constructor or even a main method etc.?
Is there any convenient way of doing this, rather than going to the usual route, which is File menu, then new, java file, from that UI to give a class name, choose to include a main method etc..
Thank you.
