"Non-printing" items in AW Draw

I'm converting some PageMaker files into AW Drawing documents but have one sticking point. In PM, I could designate an item (text or image) as non-printing so it would be displayed on monitor but would not print. Is there a way to do this in AW? For example, I print name, team & date on award certificates. I want to put paper loading instructions (face down, head toward monitor) on the screen with the name & etc but, obviously don't want that on the finished certificate. Any suggestions?

I'm afraid there is no way of doing this that I can see. The only suggestion I can offer is that you put the instructions as a single draw object in front of the document, and make sure to delete it before printing. (Create a filled rectangle in a light colour with a line round the edge: put a text frame over it and type instructions in it, including 'delete this before printing', then group the two. You could lock the rest of the document so it can't be deleted by accident.)

Non-printing items that display in the PDF, but do not print

I've not found definitive word on this, but we are creating a document in InDesign (CS3 Mac) and would like to include some navigational arrows that advance users from one page to another.
They would display on screen but would not print when the user prints.
My understanding is that if we render the PDF from InDesign with those items set as a non-printing layer, that they would not display in the PDF.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Dave

Just set the buttons option to Visible but Doesn't Print.

Non printing items still printing

Hi.
I have created in Indesign a 8 page pdf with hyperlinks (as a nav bar on each page)
I have set the colourful headers and footers on each page as non printing.
I am trying to create a PDF that will be colourful on screen, but when the browser goes to print it out the headers and footers will not output.
trouble is, they are still printing
I have tried exporting as smallest file/ high quality print and non printing options are ticked (otherwise the headers dont appear at all on screen)
can this be done? if so, how?
I have attached a sample file it has two objects in it:
1) some text
2) a magenta rectangle place over the text
I am trying to acheive a pint rectangle on screen, and when the pdf is printed, no rectangle just text.

You can't add a hyperlink to a button - but you can Convert something to a button and then give it a URL to go to when clicked.
Basically you don't select the button and choose a hyperlink destionation the way you would with text, that won't work.
Here's what to do.
Select the frame that will be the button.
Go to Window>Interactive>States
In the fly menu for the States panel (top right of panel) click the arrow pointing down, and a sub menu pops out.
Go to Button Options and to the tab that says "Behaviors"
Event: Mouse Down
Behavior: Go to URL
URL: (insert the url)
And then DON'T FORGET TO CLICK ADD at the bottom of the dialog box.
And that's it. When you make the pdf make sure you inlcude interactive and bookmarks and everything else you need.

Exporting a PDF so that non-printing objects show but don't print?

I've just spent a couple hours trying to find an answer to this in the forums, but can't. (The most frustrating was one thread where the original poster said, "I found the answer here," and gave a link that went right back to the main page of the forum. Argh.)
Okay, anyway ... what I need to do?
I've got a document with graphics that I want to show up on the pdf when I export it, but that--if a reader prints it--don't print.
The document looks like a 3-ring binder with "tabs" for each section--just like the real thing. But the rings and tabs go right up to the edge and look terrible when printed, and whose printer can print right at the edge of the paper, anyway? But the tabs work as navigational links while looking a the pdf, and the rings just make it look cool, so I WANT them in the pdf.
I've tried:
Turning the entire layer into a non-printing layer (one that "shows" but does not "print"). But when I export it to a pdf, it doesn't show up on the pdf to look at OR to print. So that doesn't work.
Using the Attribute option to turn each object into a non-printing object, but so far as I can tell, that doesn't do a thing, because they still print from the pdf.
Exporting with the "create pdf layers" turned on and off. Exporting with the "include non-printing items" turned on and off.
Basically, I've pretty much tried everything. I gather, from browsing the forums, that this is POSSIBLE, but can't for the life of me figure out what to do to make it happen. (Short of hiding the tabs' layer and creating an entirely separate PDF and calling it "Print version" which is not exactly what I want to do!)
Is there maybe some magical combination of ons and offs I need to select to make this whole thing work?
(And, seriously, am I the only person who thinks the supporting documentation is just dreadful? I can't find anything in any of the Help screens that even mentions this, much less explains how to do it.)
Any help is appreciated!!

Partial progress...
The button option (and, I'm using CS3, by the way--I should have said that originally) does work in terms of showing on the pdf but not printing.
The problem is that it messes up the way the document looks.
I said it's designed to look like a 3-ring binder with tab-dividers between each section, and each tab has a hyperlink to take you to that section.
Now, when you've got a paper binder in front of you, the tabs stay in the same sequence, and often overlap a bit (which mine do). The problem I'm having, having turned all of them into buttons, is that when you click on any of them, it "jumps" to the front of the row, so that they don't "flow" in the correct sequence.
Am I explaining this well? You know, the top-most tab is at the top of the pile, the next one is always below it and above the third one, and so on ... you never see the second tab on TOP of the first one. I'm trying to get the document to act as close to a hard-copy binder as I can, and it did ... except the buttons keep jostling each other for attention...
I'm going to go play around with this some more now, but ... any suggestions? (Other than restructuring my tabs so that they don't overlap at all?)

MIGO Print label WEE1 for non stock items from GR for PO

Hi,
I added logic to print new label into printing program MZ07DETI which is printing labels for stock items. My label is for non stock items. The problem is that for non stock items printing process is not triggered. I created PO with Account Assign. Category F, P or K no material number and no storage location. For this type of PO no print possible during GR posting. Is any set up available in IMG to make it work. I appreciate any response.

Hi,
Please check up if there is any default value at the plant level;in case of such default,the system will post to the GL Account defaulted,not with standing the "standard item category".Better checkup if any cost center /order has been assigned.
The GL item is defaulted thro'the item category.If both the goods and services have been defaulted to the same GL Account,then not with standing the type [ie] whether goods or services,the system will post tot he same GL Acct.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

I need to implement "View non-printing characters" feature in my JTextPane.

Picking non inventory items for delivery

hello
Can anyone help us with the following issue :
- in our deliveries we have both inventory items and non inventory items (freight lines, software). Non inventory items have to appear in the same delivery document as the inventory items
- we cannot create those non-inventory items in inventory as they cannot appear in any stocktake
- the picklist doesn't accept to release non-inventory items for picking
Any idea ?
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,
Just an idea. Will it work if you create the non-inventory items in your item master data as just a sales and purchasing item, but not an inventory item? That way you can include it along with your inventory items without having any impact in your stocks. One issue is that the non-inventory item will not be shown in your pick and pack, but you can print a copy of your sales order as a pick list.

Pick List with Non Stock Items

Is there anyway to edit the Pick List so that it displays Non Stock Items?
Our client does not want to track certain Items as Stock and as such they are all created as Non Stock. The Pick List is required to show that stores that the Non Stock Items are included, however they are not displayed.

Hi Kevin,
As the name suggests, the Pick list will only work for Items which are Inventory Items. A non inventory item is not recoganized to have the need to be picked.
Therefore a NON-INVENTORY Item cannot be made to print / be available on the Pick List.

Text not printing or PDFing. Non-printing is not applied. Help?

I have a logo. The top is on a path applied to an oval. Same with the bottom. In the middle is an ampersand (&). When I try to print, only the ampersand prints. I've tried printing to 2 different machines. I also tried saving it as a PDF but I lose everything except the ampersand in the middle. Everything is colored black, so there are no weird colors going on. Non-printing is not applied to anything. Any thoughts? I can send the file to somebody if they want to check it out.
ID CS 3
Thanks,
Chris

Sorry for the delay. Spent some time looking for the font becasue I'm on Windows.
I opened it first in CS5, and after font substitution it exported fine, so I figured maybe it was a font problem on your end, but just to be safe I opened it in CS3 to check. Same problem here that you have on your end.
Good news, though. I exported to .inx and opened that. That page opened at 11 inches high, which may be part of the problem, but after resizing, it exported correctly. This is a pretty good inidcator of some minor corruption that is fixable by the export. See Remove minor corruption by exporting

Purchasing - A/P Transaction Processing for Services and Non Inventory Item

On of the main areas of concern that businesses have is in the area of Purchasing, Goods Receipts and AP Invoices Processing - There is a requirement that businesses have widely referred to as 3-way matching.
While SAP Business One has this functionality covered quiet well via the following, there is still some need for enhancements so that the application can correctly reflect the AP Accruals:
- Purchase Order processing with Approval Process (if configured)
- Ability to perform Goods Receipts for Services.
- Matching of AP Invoices to Goods Receipts with AP Invoice Approval Process (if configured)
The above transactions serve the 3-way matching quiet well for all purchases however when it comes to accuring for Services that have been provided, the application does not do this. The Goods Receipt transaction processing to acknowledge the service delivery is allowed however the related posting to the allocation account is missing.
The process that is followed by the application is same for Items that have not Inventory Items in Item Master.
As a result of the above, the business have to manually work out what the Accurals for services provided but not invoiced should be.
With little enhancement to the product this shortfall could very easily be overcome.

Hi,
Once there are transactions, we cannot make existing Inventory type item to Non Inventory type item.
Check SAP note:937297 which states as follows :
Symptom
Changing the status of the Inventory Item checkbox (in Item Master Data) for items with inventory transactions and documents, might lead to inaccuracies in the calculations of inventory value.
Other terms
Inventory Item, Non-inventory Item, Item Master Data, Continuous Stock, Perpetual Inventory, Inventory Valuation, 2004, 2005, 2005 A SP01
Reason and Prerequisites
Consulting Note
Solution
The status of an item (Inventory Item/Non-Inventory item as selected in the Inventory Item checkbox in the Item Master Data window), cannot be changed once an A/P, A/R, or Inventory document is posted for the item.

GR/IR Clearing for Non-Inventory Items in PO

Hi all,
Can anybody explain if GR/IR reconciliation can be done for non-inventory items in PO. For example, I've raised a PO for a service and received invoice before the service is delivered (little hypothetical, of course, but incase).
If so, will it show in the same MR11?
Thanks
durga.

Hi,
First of all , in case of Service ,Only SR/IR reconcilation can be done.....second ,if your service is not delivered then you can give advance against service PO.

Sales order line for Non Stock items progressed to Closed status, need to be Cancelled.

Hi,
First time posting to this community, I hope someone can help.
Currently we have a setup where non stock items are being added to sales order lines (charges, etc.).
These lines are being progressed through to Closed status automatically.
Users are reporting that they have entered the line in error and would like to change the status of the line to Cancelled.
We are unable to return the material (RMA) as it is non stockable/transactable etc.
Current workaround is to adjust the stock and make finance aware so that the line does not get invoiced.
However, the system still shows that the line is closed (i.e. provided to customer) which is not correct.
Is there any way of getting the line to a status of cancelled?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Regards
Tim

Hi Arif,
Many thanks for the warm welcome.
I'm thinking the only course of action I have for future, is to make the items stockable/transactable/returnable such that an RMA can be performed if added in error.
We can put a large qty into stock at zero value.
Thanks for your help in any case.

Need negative quantity non-inventory items on Credit Memo

Version: (2007A)
Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
Our customer issues many invoices with a negative quantity line item for a miscellaneous non-inventory item. These non-inventory items are used to reduce the amount of the invoice regarding miscellaneous credits to their customers. These are not discounts.
When the customer wants to credit these invoices, they canu2019t create a Credit Memo based on the invoice because SAP wonu2019t allow this if there are line items with negative amounts.
When they create a credit memo not based on an invoice, they arenu2019t allowed to enter a negative quantity for a line item as they are for an Invoice. They are forced to create a credit memo not based on an invoice the inventory item line items and an invoice or Journal Entry for the negative quantity line item to debit back the miscellaneous line amount.
As an example:
Invoice line item one for inventory item: qty one, price 100,line total $100.00
Invoice line item two non-inventory item misc credit: quanity -1, price 10, total -$10.00
Invoice Total $90.00
In Order to provide the correct credit amount, they have to create a Credit Memo not based on an invoice for line item one, qty one, price 100 u2013 value -100 and an invoice for the non-inventory item for qty one, price 10 - value 10.00.
This creates a net credit for the customer of 90.00
This looks ridiculous to their customers when they see these transactions on their statements, creates extra work for the users and there is no link between the three documents.
By using inventory items for these miscellaneous credits, they can assign a sales revenue of their choice. They have multiple sales accounts and the GL posting is determined by the item group for the item. By assigning the desired item group to these non-inventory items, they can control which sales account is updated on their marketing documents when using these non-inventory items.
If they were to use the Freight items, they would need a separate freight setup entry for combination of item group and miscellaneous credit. Because they have so many Item Groups and types of credits, they would need a great many separate Freight Charges to choose from.
All of the above pertains to all of our customers. This customer has a custom add-on and their marketing documents are all created from custom objects. They hit a button on the custom sales contract screen and an invoice is created. When they hit another button on the screen, the selected invoice is credited. They have legally binding contracts for fixed quantities to be shipped, so we decrease the quantity shipped when creating an invoice and decrease the quantity shipped when a credit memo is created. The contract is fulfilled when the exact quantity contracted for has been shipped. Because the credit memo fails, we canu2019t update the custom objectu2019s remaining to be shipped, rendering it inaccurate from that time forward. (reducing the quantity shipped is part of the Credit Memo creation process).Creating Credit Memos and Invoices from the interface fixes the inventory count, customer balance, etc., but we have no way of fixing the sales contractu2019s quantity shipped & remaining to be shipped or linking the contracts to the documents created from the interface.
Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do, so that credit memos can be based on invoices that have negative quantity non-inventory line items.
Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
Please see above
Proposed solution: (Please suggest how the new functionality should work)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do.

Hi Sean......
System is behaving properly as per its logic. Infact it does same in all the previous or upcoming versions.
If you have Item Type GRPO for Non Inventory Item it does not create any accounting but you can see the same during AP invoice.
GRPO for such type is only optional. For further clarification you can discuss this with your CA what he suggests. But i suggest you to raise AP invoice also for getting Account effect. Just see doing this in test DB you get your answer......

Credit memo for non inventory item

Hi MM consulatnats,
My client need to know the best practices to handle teh credit memo for non inventory item ??
We have two options like FB65 in FI part where it wont update in PO history.
In MIRO also we can make credit memo w.r.to PO.
What they want to know is if FB65 is the correct way to do this to fully reverse the effect that the receipt and invoicing of the item had on the financial accounts.
What is the best pracise to adopt ??
Need your views
Thanks
A.Gururajan

Hi,
You can use MIRO for credit Memo with ref to PO.
This will update both PO history as well as your FI accounts/Vendor Balance.
Thanks & Regards,

Non-stockable items - Error of G/L Account - ( Error No - ME45 )

Hi MM Experts,
While creating PO for Non-stockable items I am getting one error which says that - " You can not enter G/L account directly for the controllling area/ Co. Code".
Can u pls. help on this issue..
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Karthik,
There was an logic in the idoc processing for the text segment of the idoc.
If some text/number avaialble in this segment (text) then system will check for the first 4 characters as chart of accounts and next 3 characters as transaction and look for the GL account in the T030 table of the OBYC.
In my case there was a space (more than 4+3=7) and system was taking 4 spaces as COA and 3 spaces as transaction key and looking for the GL account in T030 table. And unfortunately there was an blank entry in T030 table and due to this system unable to find the GL account for this combination (Spaces).
To resolve this issue go to SE16 and give table name EDID4 and give the segment name (segment of text field) and idoc number and search. You will get all the text related segments and try to find the segment having Space before the text/numeric filled in that segment.
There after edit the IDOC and remove the space from the text field of the segment and try to re-process the IDOC from BD87 transaction code.

Syed Abdul Mazid
