Number of Copies in Crystal Report Layout

Hi all,
Is it possible to show the number of copy in a Crystal Report layout?
I mean: I am creating an invoice layout in Crystal Reports for SAP Business One 8.8.
Customer wants to print always 3 copies, but with the word "Copy" in second and third document.
I can set the number of printed copies but... is it possible to include a reference of what number of copy is every document?
Sorry for any language mistake.
Kind Regards,
Toni Dorta

Hi Toni,
If the customer always prints 3 copies of the Invoice, here is what you could do. You could design your Crystal Report to always print 3 copies. That is, if your Invoice has 1 page, then design your Crystal Report to Print 3 pages every time. On the 2nd and 3rd page, you include the word "Copy" to indicate that they are copies.
Once you have modified the report, change the No: of Printed copies to 1. This when the customer prints the report, it will always print 3 copies of the report and have the word "Copy" on the 2nd and 3rd invoices.
Hope this helps.

Crystal Report Layout asking for Login Info

I have modified the Delivery Note Crystal Report Layout for Business One by clicking the Edit button on the Report and Layout Manager for Delivery Note (Items). I then saved my modifications to a file. Finally, I go into Business One and import the Layout for Delivery Note (Items). When I preview the Layout it asks me for login information then continues to fail. How dow I make it so I can print the Delivery without having to constantly log in?

Hi Jeff,
I recently had a similar problem on an 8.82 implementation, having contacted and spoken to SAP Support multiple times these suggested fixes worked:
The request to login to the database when you open or print preview a Crystal
report is a known issue. To resolve this, I recommend you go through our Root
Cause Analysis (RCA) guide. Please see attac hed Note 1676353 on where to find
this. There are four Cases in this guide (which contain a number of Influences)
- please go through all Cases and Influences.
We also tried the following:
STEP 1:
Influence 2: Case 2 is to clear all the data for login (e.g. sa and
password - delete them) and then ticked 'Integrated Security#.
- Influence
3: #: Check the current datasource is to update connection.
- Retest opening
the system reports on a workstation.
- If they are still reporting an error
try the next step
- STEP 2:
- Change the datasource location of
the report from OLE DB to SAP Business One type and leave the
authentication
information blank. Try running the report in Crystal, and then import to SAP.
And also opened up the Crystal Report via the Edit button in SAP in Reports and Layouts Manager, we then clicked on the database connection and updated all the tables (even though they were the same) and these got the reports needed working. Speaking to SAP it is a known bug and they are releasing a hotfix to resolve it, but try explaining that to a customer !!!
Hope these help.

Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout

Dear All,
Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout.
In sales quote layout the rows are doubled. Even in the standard layout. If the quote contains only two rows. Then it is doubled as 4 rows in the crystal report layout.
It is happening in the particular database. Other database are working fine. I request you people to help me to overcome this issue.

Huge delay in Printing Crystal Report Layout

Good Day Experts,
I am experiencing big delays when printing a document that makes use of a Crystal Report Layout Design.
For example,
The Sales Quote is set to automatically print when added by the user.
When clicking 'Add', SAP freezes up and only about 30 seconds later does the printer finally print the document.
During that time, the user cannot use SAP at all.
The layout does have a lot of fields and a few formulas here and there.
Logically, I am thinking that that is the reason for the delay, as SAP needs to calculate and populate those fields.
Is there any other way that I could speed up this process? Or if you know what might be causing this speed issue?
Your assistance will be appreciated,
Thanks
Regards
Dario

Purchase Order Crystal Report Layout Error

The stock Crystal Report Layout for Purchase Orders is giving me the following error:
A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.
Details: errorKind
Error in File POR20002 {b89f97ad-bf1f-447b-8bb4-b3d2e5219269}
{3C375C81-7D37-475D-9BCB-1703CE533B65}.rpt
Error in formula N_Decimal_Places:
'// To get the length of decimals
A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.
Details: errorKind
I looked in the Crystal Reports Formula fields and could not find N_Decimal_Places.
Has any one else had the problem with the PO layout that comes with Business One? If so, how did you fix it?

Couldn't find how to copy the PO layout over using copy express.
I did compare the RDOC fields for POR20002 in both databases and they are Identical.
In Crystal Reports, I did a formula search for N_Decimal_Places and it found nothing. Then I did a search for 'length' in all formulas and it finds length in N_Decimal_Places. When I double click on N_Decimal_Places it clears the screen and never shows the formula. This happens in both layouts for my test database and SBODemoUS.
Again, SBODemoUS works correctly and AAA_TEST give the error.

Importing Crystal Report layout for customer statements

Hello,
I have imported a crystal report layout to use for the customer statements when running them from the ageing report. The problem is even if we only select one business partner in the ageing report, when we print preview the statement it displays statements for all business partners - this is because in the crystal report there are no parameters. I know that when you import a layout like this for other documents you need to use for example, {ORDR.DocEntry}={DocKey@} as the parameter however the customer statements don't have a docentry. When I look at the system statement layout (collection layout), when you run the report you get an ADO.NET (XML) connection prompt. Is it possible to use the crystal layout i have for the customer statements but for only the customer(s) showing on the ageing report?
Many thanks,
Kate

So just to make it clear,
you want an overview of open invoices from 1 customer.
If so, try this in crystal reports :
Create a parameter field (field explorer)
Name : CardName
Type : String
Value : Static
do not select a value field (none)
press ok.
Select expert
Create new
Starts with
type this : {?CardName}
press add
Click formula editor and make it look like this :
{OINV.DocStatus} = "o" and
{OINV.CardName} startswith {?CardName}

Set As Default Crystal Report Layout in SAP B1 8.8 PL13

Hi,
I want to Set As Default a Crystal Report Layout. I know you can do that in Layout Desginer - Selection Criteria, but SAP B1 8.8 PL 13 has only a Manage Layout button in the Layout Desginer window which links to the Report and Layout Manager. There is no Set As Default button.
Where can you select which layout to be default in PL13?
Thanks!
Cristina

Hi
If you want to Set as Default particular PLD then Open that Form
For. Example
Sales Ar > A/R Invocies (Item) document
Then Click on PLD icon ans select your crystal report as Default by Set as Defaul button.

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

I want when user print Purchase Order then on last page also print some page like Penalty Clause etc.
Pls help me to find the solution.

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 generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

Dear Experts,
I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
{ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
(I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

Print multiple copies in Crystal Report

Hi All,
I have created layouts with Crystal 2008 . I need to print first copy as original , second as duplicate and the third as triplicate . I know it is possible using PLD but i need it in CR. Is there any work-around for this problem ? I am using SAP Business One 8.8 PL 10 , Crystal Reports Basic 2008 and SQL Server 2008.
Thanks in advance

Hi Arun
Create a view which has a record for each copy and the docentry. I tested using the view below but it could easily be extended to include the object type and be useful for all documents.
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[Test_Copy]
AS
select 1 as 'CopyNo',
'Original' AS 'CopyDesc',
DocEntry AS 'InvDocentry'
from oinv
union
select 2 as 'CopyNo',
'Duplicate' AS 'CopyDesc',
DocEntry AS 'InvDocentry'
from oinv
union
select 3 as 'CopyNo',
'Triplicate' AS 'CopyDesc',
DocEntry AS 'InvDocentry'
from oinv
Add this view to your layout and inner join to docentry of the OINV table
Add the copy number as the main group level, before the document etc.
You will then need to fiddle around setting the current page header details into the group 1 header and sort the paging out but you will get 3 copies.
Hope this helps

SAP 8.8 Crystal Report Layout problem in client workstation

Hi Experts,
We have import crystal report to SAP Business One as Form Layout or AP Invoice. We have already created the token DocKey@ so it would automatically be printed and will not ask for the document number. The layout works fine using the server workstation but in the client workstation we cannot proceed with the printing because when we click on the preview button, a login window appears with this details:
Database Login
Server Name : gray out or not active
Database: gray out or not active
Login ID: active
Password: active
We tried to enter the SQL login but fails.
Is there any components that we need to install in the workstation before it could function the same way as PLD?
Thanks,
Janice

You can try creating the ODBC connection, which is the same as on the server.
Assuming this is the scenario:
1. You write the invoice using crystal report on the server
2. On the server, Control Panel--> ODBC, you have created an ODBC link eg; SAPB1.
3. The report is connecting to ODBC link and pointing to database OECUS
On the client workstation, you need to create:
1. Control Panel--> ODBC, you need to create an ODBC link as on the server.

Crystal Report layout, best practice

SAP B1 8.81
I'm having only spotty success with CR layouts and I've experimented quite a bit. What I'd like to do is extensively modify 1 system Crystal Report and then bring it in as a layout, and apply it to AR Item Quote, Order, DN, Invoice, and Return. Does it matter which system document I start with? After I've got a master layout that works for all, what if I need to add small tweaks to a particular document, say a special field that appears in Invoice headers only? How do I do that? These questions aren't addressed in the 'How to Work with CR in SBO' guide.
Anybody have some global guidelines they'd like to offer that lead to success?

Hi Cindy
We have done what you want to do in 8.8 a number of times. It also works in 8.81 but we have been having similar login issues that other users have reported.
You use the ObjectId@ parameter to determine the type of object being printed and use that to suppress fields, sections etc.
Where there are specific formats required for different object types you can define multiple sections, (eg page headers, group headers, detail lines etc) and show or suppress based on the object type as required.
This can lead to very messy and complicated reports if there are a lot of differences and so you will need to make a decision as to the tradeoffs between having one huge report which is hard to maintain or a couple of simpler ones.
Given the load time issues, which seem to be related to the number of subreports etc you might also find some benefit in, for example, having a separate master layout for the documents that dont need to show batches and serial numbers and some of the final details such as downpayments and another layout for documents that need to show everything. Once again, you need to trade off here.
We have generally started with the invoice layout as our master since that has everything in it.
Hope this helps

Cannot save Crystal report layout or view new layout of report

I am trying to make a change to a system crystal report (cust. recievables detailed aging). I had to make the date feild a little wider, so I edited the "system layout" that came with SAP (in my test DB of course), and I go to add-ins>sap business one>save. I get the following error "current user has no permissions for this operation". I am logged in as a superuser and full perm.
If I "save-as" and save it to a layout in sap....when I go to open the aging with my newly created layout it freezes and asks for DB logon info to connect to my server from crystal. I do not normally have to do this when I preview my reports in the out of the box layouts. WHat am I doing wrong? I am new to crystal.

The system will not allow me to export the system crystal report....it is grayed out, and it IS a crystal report. HOwever I can open it in crystal, then save it to my desktop, then from INSIDE of SAP in the report and layout manager I import the crystal report I made the changes to from my desktop into SAP and it saves and imports no problems. However when I go to view the report (and this is only the ones I import), it prompts me with the db login for our server to connect, and it is only with that report, once I enter sa credentials it is fine and shows up from there on in, but not if I log out of SAP and back in...then I have to put in my credentials again. Is this something having to do with the report when I make changes to it? I cant have users entering login info each time they run the new aging details report. Please advise what I may be doing wrong when I make changes to a crystal report. It was a very minor change....just moved a feild width.
