Linking of Main and Sub Reports

Hi,
We have a requirement to integrate all the crystal reports (say 10 nos) into one single main report for the statutory purpose as per the client requirement. Basically client would like to view all these ten reports in single file by export them into single PDF. These sub reports are also going to work as an individual reports independently and having their own prompts. The data source for these reports is SAP BEx queries.
Please let me know best approach for integrating these reports, since user doesnu2019t want to
pass the values for duplicate prompts. Please note there are common prompts (BEx variables) across these sub reports.
I have done the PoC for linking single sub report using Xtreme data base and here are my results.
1.      Create a Blank Main reports and create a Country Prompt.
2.      Link the sub report with main report using this Country Prompt.
3.      Link the sub report with main report prompt and edit the sub report selection formula with the main report prompt u2013 u201C{Customer.Country} = {?Pm-?Which Country?}u201D
4.      While refreshing the report, it will refresh the sub report based on the main report prompt value and shows corresponding data.
5.      This approach works for single report and gives the expected results and asks only single time prompt selection.
Challenges On the above approach while implementing using BEx Queries as a data source are:
u2022      We need to equate the SAP BEx characteristics to this prompt:
Ex:       = {?Pm-?Which Country?}
That means we should have set of BEx queries which doesnu2019t have variables. At run time filters will be assign based on the main report crystal reports prompts. Again there could be some mandatory prompts and optional prompts and multi values etc.
Will it affect the performance of the Crystal report while you apply filters at report level instead of BEx query level?
u2022      We donu2019t want to modify the individual sub reports selection formulas and queries for linking purpose.
Please let me know youu2019re best solution approach for the above issue.
Thanks in Advance

If I understand correctly the main issue a report running as a sub report being run as a main report.
I have a solution.
for each of the sub reports build a new main report
ie if you have
sub report 1
sub report 2
then youhave a master report that calls them
you would build
Main report 1 ( which ONLY calls sub report 1)

Same Query for both Main and Sub Report

I have a report whichs works but I don't think i'm getting the data to both the Main Report and Sub Report in the most effcient manner... I have a report that totals users call subject counts. But then end user wishes to see all users total counts and the grand totals of call counts on the first page then then the breakdown of types of calls on subsuquent pages... so I created a report with a subreport in the report header.... I use the same query in both the sub and main report... however it asks the user to enter the parameters once for the main report and once for the sub report... Parameters are both the same for each; month and year... so it currently runs the query twice I want to run it once and use the data for both reports... I group by name and then sum the call subject counts for the user totals... and in the sub report I hide the detail section and I'm just left with the sub total line for each user, then in the main report use the same grouping and suming again and I start a new page for every user...
Using CR 9
Thanks for any advice
Vincent

i think you need to link the main report parameter with the subreport parameters inorder to pass the parameter values from main report to subreport. So right click on subreport and go to change subreport links and add parameter fields and select parameter fields from your subreport and un check the databse fields in subreport.

Difference Between Crystal Report Template and Sub Report

I am not able to get the Report Template Option/menu.
I am working with Visual Studio 2005 , Crystal Report Version 10.2
Do i need to have Crystal Report Server in order to work with Template.
Also i will like to know the diff. between Template and Sub Report?

Hello,
The Report Template Wizard is not part of Crystal in .NET. You need to upgrade to the full version of Crystal Reports.
Template is a base report to work from. Subreport is another report object that can be inserted into a section of the main report.
Thank you

Return document picking wrong main and sub transaction @ FPL9

Hi Mates,
I need a help to find out the reason why return document is referring with wrong main and sub in our current client.
Issue: when unpaid returns are posting with reference to payment document return document is posting by using main and sub transaction with previous cleared items.
Ex: 2000200 Invoice document - Main Transaction 0100 sub 0002
3000300 Payment run document - Main Transaction 0610 sub 0010
When return is posting with reference to 3000300 return document is referring 0100 and 0010, and new return document is updating with Billing and invoice text.
Usually if return document is posted that should be refere the payment document 0610 and 0010 main & sub and invoice document 2000200 should be open.
This is happening for all the main and sub cases and return document is referring with cleared items, in some cases it's posting currectly.
I have validated at return lot specific level, posting type=cancel payment.
some of business users are posted using posting type = new receiveble derived from payment.
Second case we found many issues with refeernce wrong sub, but even 1st case also system is showing same.
Kindly suggest.

Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for the reply.
When SD invoices are transferred to FICA, the system checks whether entries maintained for account determination:
1. Maintain Account Assignment Data Relevant to Transactions
2. Derive Main/Sub Transaction from SD information
3. Derive Document Type from SD Billing Document Data
Thanks,
Kumar

Determination of GL accounts from Main and Sub Transaction

Hi,
I have configured main and sub transactions with associated G/L accounts. Is there any program/table through which I can find out the assciated G/L accounts which are already configured if I pass Main and Sub transactions.

Hi Jayanta,
Please find below Path for maintaining Sub Transaction
SAP Customizing IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Basic Functions -> Postings and Documents -> Document -> Maintain Document Assignments -> Maintain Sub-Transactions
You will find the all the sub transaction for all the main transaction configured.
Or
the table "TFKTVO".
Hope this helps.

Manish

PGI for both main and sub items (Sales BOM)

Hello SD friends,
I'm trying to map some BOM scenario.
Only main item should be relevant for princing.
Here's what I've done :
1. Create sales BOM via CS01
2. Maintain item category group ERLA for main item and NORM for sub item MM01
3. Maintain item category TAQ for main item and TAE for sub item VOV4
When I wanna do PGI, system creates material document only for main item.
Which means that PGI has not been done for sub items.
Is there any way to make PGI possible for both main and sub items ??
Regards,
Bahia.

Can you clear, that why you want to issue both Main item/Sub Item, where your pricing is @ main item level.
in Main item level Pricing, Main item itself includes components. Once you issue the main item. from Inventory this main item wil be reduced.
Eg: In Case of Main Item- Computer (Assume Components - Monitor , Keyboard , CPU & Mouse)
Price for Computer - $1200. Component prices individually- $300 , $100, $700, $100 - These prices applicable only when you sell as BOM at Subitem level Pricing Or Seperately )-
In SO: - Order Computer (System explodes Components to verify,which are the subitems consists in Main Item)
DEL:- Components will be copied in Delivery , but not for dispatch (Sch Line Cat:CT has these controls)
Inv: Only Main item will be displayed for print.
NOTE: for your requirement, you can change the Schline Category from CT - CN- which is relevant for delivery with movement type i601 -in SO. Then you can dispatch components & these components will not copied into Invoice ,as they are not relevant for billing.
If you want CN has to determined automatically, maintain Schline Category determination accordingly.
Hope it helps,
Any info, please revert

Linking the Employees and Departments Reports - 2Day+ tutorial

Hi Guys,
I am APEX newbie and started off with the 2DAYPLUS tutorial. Got stuck in the "Linking the Employees and Departments Reports" part.
I followed the instructions (even did it twice) where you you create a select list of department which will populate your employee table according to the Department you select.
Can't seem to make it work. So when I select Accounting or anything form the drop down list, the Employee table remains unchanged. Anyone else had similar issue? Not sure if its me or there is a step or two missing in the tutorial.
Section in TUTORIAL: http://www.sloug.org/i/doc/TDPAX/td_bldemprpts.htm#BCECEDHD

:::SOLVED:::
For search engines:
I missed the part:
b.Select List Control Type - Select Select List with Submit and click Next.
Well actually didn't miss it, there wasn't that option in my APEX installation (maybe tutorial is a bit outdated for earlier version of APEX).
If you have already created the Item and it does not work then:
1) Go to EDIT for that P3_DEPARTMENT_ID
2) Scroll down to SETTING section
3) In PAGE ACTION WHEN VALUES CHANGE choose SUBMIT.
this achieves the same result as (b) above.

How to pass parameters between main and sub vi during parallel execution using the VI server technique?

Hello All,
I am working with the following example (from previous postings on this
board) that demonstrates how to run a sub vi in parallel with the main
vi. I'd like to pass parameters between the main and sub such as
the control (delay) and indicator (value) parameters of my subvi
example. Does any one know how to do this? Parallel
execution is important for me, I cannot just paste the subvi icon into
my main diagram (two nested while loops...)
Many thanks,
Luis

Luis, you can use the VI Server methods 'Set Control Value' and 'Get Control Value', as demonstrated in the attached examples.

Crystal Reports - Aggregation and Sub-report design for reconciliation

Hello,
I apologize for posting the question in this form (I am new to Crystal reports - so am trying to get my hands around the development)
I created two crystal reports
1. Report on top of BW
Fields:
A. Company Code
B. Vendor
C. Local Currency
D. Total Amount
2. Report on top of ECC
Fields:
A. Company Code
B. Vendor
C. Local Currency
D. Total Amount (This is a formula, as I used the total amount and debit/credit indicator to get the negative sign for amount)
Once I have created these two reports,
The first question is,
In the second report for the combination of the three characteristics mentioned above I have multiple rows, how can I aggregate them similar to BW where I have one row for a given combination.
The second question is,
I created a third report and I used the option you mentioned earlier "Insert --> Sub-report". When I used this option I selected the first report on top of BW and inserted it into Data Field and then used the same option to insert the second report on top of ECC and inserted it in Data field below the first report.
Once I had these reports inserted, I created formula fields in the third report for the following fields
1. Company Code
2. Vendor
3. Local Currency
4. Total Amount
From here on, I am not sure how can I link the fields from the above reports to the third report and also how can I do reconciliation between these two reports.
I really appreciate your help in this regards.
Thanks
Dharma.

Hi,
The first question is,
In the second report for the combination of the three characteristics mentioned above I have multiple rows, how can I aggregate them similar to BW where I have one row for a given combination.
>> You could create Groups in Crystal Reports and create totals in the report on top of ERP.
The second question is,
I created a third report and I used the option you mentioned earlier "Insert --> Sub-report". When I used this option I selected the first report on top of BW and inserted it into Data Field and then used the same option to insert the second report on top of ECC and inserted it in Data field below the first report.

>> Whats the source of the third report ? ERP or BW ?
You can use the Subreport Linking feature (right click on the report in the context menu) to setup the linking from the main report to the subreport

Report Optimization and Sub Reports

Post Author: olaszb
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello,I am currently working with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and have questions about optimization. We have a dataset (.NET) generated from Oracle and then passed to Crystal. For our largest report it is taking 15 seconds for the dataset to be generated, but over 3 minuets for Crystal to generate the report. We have 14 sub reports within this report. I'm pretty certain this is the bottle neck.Any sub report optimization suggestions? Would arrays be the way to go instead?

Post Author: olaszb
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I went through the report and suppressed all sub reports and this cut the time down by 1/3 but still too slow. On our largest report we are getting 376 pages and with the sub reports suppressed there are 263 pages returned. Does anyone know if still goes through/caches the info of a sub report even if the report is suppressed?

Menu displayed name on main and sub-menu

How can if fix the menu displayed name on main and submenu items. Without using customazation form, the name displayed is always the name of the menu object

Hi,
You can change the display name of the menus and submenus in the right frame of the menu at design time. The root menu display name will be the display name of the menu component.

Budget check for PM orders with main and sub-projects

Hello
We have a scenario wherein we have created a main project and a sub-project. We have linked the sub-project to main project. We have also assigned budget to the main project. We have created a PM order wherein we are trying to enter the costs by entering the hours of work. We have configured the budget profile and set the tolerance limites and assigned to main project. The requirement here is we need to have have costs check againt the budget that been available in the main project. But the system is checking the budget of the sub-project. Please share if any specific setting is required to check the budget of main project instea sub-project.
Regards,
Basav

I also double checked, you are right there is no forum for PM, I dont think I could suggest much since there isnt a dedicated forum, but you can try posting this query in the ABAP forum probably some abap'r who has worked with PM module should have a look. Also if possible try to connect with one of the moderators out here and ask for assistance in starting something for PM
Thanks,
GLM
