How to link to Fathercard Name in Crystal reports

Hello all,
I have a Crystal report that gives me all open sales orders with down pmts. It works fine.
Since I use BP consolidation, I have the report sorting by parent BP, then child BP number.
If the detail line is for the Child BP, I want to display both its Cardname, and the Fathercard BP name. Since there is no field in the ORDR file for Fathercardname, I tried adding the OCRD table (a second time), and setting a link from the ORDR Fathercard to the OCRD CardName. That just causes it to exclude any Parent BP orders.
Is there a way to directly read or create a formula to pull the name from OCRD using the fathercard as a key?
thanks for any help on this.
Bob

Julie,
I tried the additional table instance of OCRD and did a link from the OCDR Fathercard -> OCRD_1 Cardcode fields (and removed all the other auto-links it created).
This does make it pull in the correct name from the OCRD file using the Fathercard as the key. But it excludes all the parent BP transactions just like before. The underlying SQL query is doing the default Inner join, and since parent sales orders don't have a fathercard, they are excluded (it seems).
So I found that in the Crystal link options you can change the join types, and changed it from Inner to a Left outer join.
This did allow it to pull in both parent and child sales orders that I expected.
I had some grouping issues that I needed to correct, but now it shows everything perfectly.
thanks!
Bob

  • How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1

    Hi,

    Hi,
    In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
    If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.

  • How to build Table of Content in Crystal Reports

    Hi,
    Initially, I am looking for an article about how to build Table of Content in Crystal Reports in table-based approach----including how to write to DB table from report:
    http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2011950.asp
    However, the link above is invalid. I also searched through SDN articles, but no luck.
    Can someone please forward me the link if you happend to know?---does not have to link to this specific article, any working solution is just fine.
    I am aware of another approach which put the TOC to the end of the report(http://www.ml-consult.co.uk/cryst-05.htm), which probably does not satisfy the requirement.
    If you have other solutions, your share is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a ton!

  • How to view the History of a Crystal Reports iView in EP6?

    How to view the History of a Crystal Reports iView in EP6?
    Our Crystal reports are viewed via Crystal Enterprise and are both BW and non-BW Crystal reports.
    I have looked at the three supplied iViews from Business Objects (alert, folder and thumbnail) but I have only been able to access the last instance or run on demand a CR.
    Our users would prefer to see a listing of the past runs of the report and choose which report to view.  What parameters need set in the EP6 iView to see the history of a report?

    Hi Heather,
    it is correct that there is no sample iView that shows the History of Crystal Reports that are stored in Crystal Enterprise but there a sample codes on our web site and there are sample codes as part of the SDK documentation that show how to call the history and you should be able to take the code and create your own Java or ASP iView based on that.
    the link to our developer library :

  • How to suppress a blank section in crystal report

    how to suppress a blank section in crystal report. although i have set the property
    "suppress blank section "=true ,still i m unable to suppress my section
    please help me to cope up this issue.
    thanks in advance

    One recommendation I make, when troubleshooting suppression issues, is to put a visible border of the section, area or object to be suppressed, and borders for all objects contained in the section or area.  This will help isolate what's suppressed, and whether the section is truly blank or has content that's blank.
    Furthermore, I recommend indicating which SDK and what version you're using when posting.
    Sincerely,

  • How to increase the width of the Crystal Report

    Hello All
    How to increase the width of the Crystal report template in the CR designer in .NET 2005 editor ?
    I need to design a report which has to accomodate more number of columns.So achieve that i need to redesign the report having more width.
    CrystalReports version 10.2.3600.0
    Thanks in advance
    Srivatsa

    HI Srivatsa,
    You can make a wider report by creating virtual pages. Virtual pages are the extra pages to the right of the main page that get created to accommodate cross-tabs that are wider than a single page. By inserting a cross-tab in a report then suppressing it, you can create a report that is multiple pages wide.
    Insert and Suppress a Cross-Tab
    1. On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Cross-Tab'.
    2. In the Cross-Tab Expert, click any field and move it into the 'Columns' box, and click any field and move it into the 'Summarized Fields' box. Do not move any fields into the 'Rows' box.
    3. Click the 'Customize Style' tab and select the following check boxes:
    " Suppress Empty Rows
    " Suppress Empty Columns
    " Suppress Row Grand Totals
    " Suppress Column Grand Totals
    4. Click the 'OK' button and then insert the cross-tab into the Report Header section.
    5. On the 'Report' menu, click 'Format Sections'. Click 'Report Header' and select the 'Underlay Following Sections' check box.
    When you run the report you will not see the cross-tab, but you will be able to scroll to the right and see multiple virtual pages.
    ====================
    NOTES:
    " As there are no rows to the Cross-Tab, it does not carry on to Page 2 and the virtual pages do not appear past the first page.
    " To increase or decrease the number of virtual pages do one of the following:
    - Limit the number of records for the field in the 'Column' box of the 'Cross-Tab Expert' using the 'Select Expert'.
    - Change the width of the 'Column' field in the Cross-Tab by moving the edges of the field.
    ====================
    How to Insert Fields on Virtual Pages
    You cannot drag-and-drop a field onto a virtual page, you can only do so on the main page. To get a field to appear on a virtual page:
    1. Insert the field on the main page.
    2. Click the 'Preview' tab.
    3. Drag the right edge of the field to the right, onto the virtual page.
    4. Drag the left edge of the field to the right, onto the virtual page.
    Hope this helps!!

  • How to get the Server Name in Crystal

    Hi All,
    We created a Crystal Report that pulls images from a File Location at the run time and this File Location is different for each environment (D-Q-P). We are trying to automate the file location by the server name. Is there any function in Crystal Reports that we can get the server name so we know if it is D-Q or P system?
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    There is no function in CR that can fetch the Server Name. That is something you need to provide to the formula.
    If you're loading images from a location on the Server, you can always use a Relative Path. For eg: if the images would be stored in a folder called Images, then you can write a formula on the 'Graphic Location' for the OLE object as:
    "/Images/Crystal.jpg"
    This will load the image from the folder when it is run on D, Q or P.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can only view BW technical name in Crystal Reports

    I am trying to report in Crystal against a BW query with 2 key figure structures. (i.e. rows & column)
    If we connect using the recommended BW MDX Query driver the 2nd structure (row) returns as a single flat field (as expected)
    In order to get round this I have tried connecting using the BW Query driver. This actually returns the above structure as separate fields. Perfect.
    Unfortunately the 1st structure (column from the BW Query) only returns the concatenated technical field name in the field explorer, making it difficult to read. I have changed the view in the Database Options to description but this does nothing.
    Any suggestions on how to bring through the field descriptions from BW?
    For info I am using:
    Crystal Reports 2008 SP3
    SAP BO Integration Kit XI SP3
    BW 7.1 SP5 enhancement pack 1

    Hi,
    the recommended approach is the BW MDX Driver and it works as you described it yourself.
    the BW Query Driver has already been deprecated

  • Get error when passing a server name to Crystal Report

    I am developing a desktop application using VS 2012 with CRforVS_13_0_9 and CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_10 installed.  The database is SQL Server 2012 Express.  I use SQL OLEDB in Crystal Report to connect the SQL database.  Here is part of the codes.
    Dim crTableLogoninfo As New TableLogOnInfo
    Dim crConnectionInfo As New ConnectionInfo
    Dim crTables As Tables
    Dim crTable As Table
    With crConnectionInfo
    .ServerName = Login.sServer
    .DatabaseName = Login.sDatabase
    .UserID = Login.sDBUserID
    .Password = Login.sDBPassword
    End With
    Try
    crTables = CReport.Database.Tables
    For Each crTable In crTables
    crTableLogoninfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
    crTableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
    crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogoninfo)
    Next
    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Nothing
    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = CReport
    I get an error "Failed to open connection -- Database vendor code 17" when I run a Crystal Reports through my application.  The problem is Crystal Reports does not like the server name which is passed.  The purpose for passing a server name is to connect to different server if needed.  I am not 100% sure the error occurs after VS 2012 or SQL Server 2012 express was updated.
    Any ideas how I can fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John
    First, you want to check the error code in your database documentation. The error is being passed from the db client through the report engine totally unmodified. Googling the error will also be a good idea.
    And, seeing as you are using SQL Server 2012, make absolutely sure that the SQL Native 11 client is installed.

  • Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

    How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
    Here's the scenerio.  When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank.  If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected.  If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank.  But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

    I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question.  And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question.  And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
    Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
    CR Service Packs applied = None
    Web or Win app? = Win App
    OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
    Development language?  = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
    Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
    Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
    What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
    So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
    I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
    1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
    2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
        Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
        Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
        Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
        Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
        Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
    3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
        ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
    4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
    5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
    6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
        ie.  crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
    7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
    8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
    9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
        ie.  crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
    MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
    PROBLEMS:
    1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
    2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
    3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply.  As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
    4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
    5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
    All i want to do is either:
    1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
    2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.
