PLD-"Formula Type Calculation Fields in Repetitive Area"

Hi there...
I just would like to know if there is a limit as to the number of conditional operations in the repetitive area?
Im currently working on the General Ledger in the Financial Reports. Our client wants to limit the number of decimal places to two for all the output of the print out. After using the Round operator, what happen was all the entries with a 0(zero value) gets 0.00. Since they also dont want this 0.00 to appear, I did try the conditional operator == to test all the entries and replace it with free text with a blank content. It is perfectly working if I'm only testing for 1 column but has problems if I already test another column. I just would like to know if there is a limit as to the number of conditional operations in the repetitive area?
Thanks in advance...

Just want to share how we were able to solve this problem. My companion(Ryan Megallen a.k.a. Bogs ) taught this to me....
since you will be evaluating the contents of the column its necessary that your going to make use of 2 conditional operations to test both the == 0 entries and those entries which is greater than 0.
Consider the following as output on the report
ex...
   Details_______Debit_____________Credit
   xxx account___343.56_____________ 0.00
   yyy account_____0.00____________123.00
The client wants that the output should be:
   Details_______Debit_____________Credit
   xxx account___343.56
   yyy account_____________________123.00
They doesnt want to make those 0.00 entries appear on there report.
To achieve this you need to test each column twice. The !=0.00 would be link to the field that displays the value other than 0 and the ==0 would be link to the field that simply uses a Free text without a no content.For this to work you will have 4 conditional operator to used.Since we cant control which of those field that we used on the columns will be displayed first.

Hi,
It seems that noone in this forum can answer your question (including myself )?
Maybe this is related to the fact that the main focus here is the SAP Business One SDK?
In case the question is still open:
I would recommend that you try these forums - which should fit better:
For SAP partners only there's a forum where you can discuss implementation questions etc.:
Got a question about customization / implementation? Maybe ask it in CPSN!
...and here's the SAP Business One Forum in the "SAP Community" (public to anybody):

How to hide fields on Repetitive Area Footer on the last page?

Hello,
How can I avoid printing some fields on the last page, when this fields
are on the Repetitive Area Footer, and the Repetitive Area Footer is
defined to print on all the pages? I was hoping to do this with fileds linked
to (ContinueNextPage) field, but it doesn't work!
Regards,
Júlio Pinho

hI Júlio Pinho,
i think, it is not possible in Repetitive Area Footer on PLD.
but, it is possible in Page Footer on PLD.
IF you dont need print some Fields in Last Page on printout.
Try this,
->> Open the require PLD.
->> Create require Fields in Page Footer.
for example,
=> Create DocTotal Field in Page Footer on PLD.
=> Link to SystemString (ContinueNextPageNotice) Formual FieldID in DocTotal Filed.
Save and Run the Print Preview.

Error While Linking Formula field for Repetetive Area Header In PLD

Hi All,
I am having a problem in pld..Let me explain...!!!!
I have a drop down field called Billing Type....My requirement is if the billing type in Time based then it should become number of Hours,if my billing type is Trip based then my Quantity column should become no of trips .I got the logic but when i am linking the formula field with the header in the repetetive area it is not working,but when i paste it some where else it is working,Please tell me any solution for this...!!!my version is 8.81 PL20
Regards
Cherry

Hi Cherry,
Any formula fields you use in your logic must be on the same area as the linked fields. In your case - as I understand you are trying to link row level fields to a formula based on a header level UDF. What you need to do is to move all your hidden fields used in the formula to the Repetitive Area - don't worry if the field used is actually header level, it still should be fine.
I would advise not to hide any fields used in a formula until you are 100% sure it's working - as you can then check if all of them show the results you expect. For instance in this case you could see that the header UDF displayed in the Repetitive Area is repeated in every line and so any formulas based on this field will work well.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Nat

Two Repetitive areas in one PLD

Hi Experts
I created a custom query and based on that i created a query print layout. Now in the PLD i have only one repetitive area, but i want to group this report first based on the account code and then based on the BP code and display the sub totals seperately.
Can you all help me to complete this.
Thanks & Regards
Kanishka Wickrama

Hi kanishka wickrama,
Sorry Kanish, i thought normal PLD.
Yes, you con not add the NEW Repetetive Area on QPLD. it is not possible on QPLD.
so, try to assign the Sort by option.
Note: All SELECT statement fields will be Stored and Display in Repetetive Area1. and
Parameter Fields are in Repetetive Area0 so you can Try to Copy & Paste the Field_ID's to Repetetive Area Header (or) Repetetive Area Footer.
for example.
Try this,
->> Open the QPLD and Goto Field index Window, then
->> Select the Repetetive Area Header & Repetetive Area Footer increase the Height on Properties Window.
->> Create the Formula fields in Repetetive Area Header & Repetetive Area Footer.
->> Which Field you want to print in header or footer. Drag the Field ID(in Repetetive Area) Copy & Paste to Formula Field.
->> Select the Repetetive Area 1 on Field Index Window.
->> Goto the Print Layout Designer on Tool bar.
->> Click Repetetive Area. -> Sort...
->> Open the Sort Widnow and Select the Requrie fields by sort.
ELSE Try this,
->> Click the Repetetive Area Footer 1.
->> then, Right Click in Repetetive Area Footer 1.
->> Choose the GROUP -> 1. then,
->> Create the Formula Fields in Repetetive Area Footer 1 and copy paste field ID's from Repetetive Area 1.
->> Select the Repetetive Area 1 on Field Index Window.
->> Goto the Print Layout Designer on Tool bar.
->> Click Repetetive Area. -> Sort...
->> Open the Sort Widnow and Select the Requrie fields by sort.
Ex.
->> Select Field Name, Sort by, Order, Summary, New Page.
1st you can Select Field Name (Sort by) -> Account Code, and
2nd Select the Field Name (Sort by) -> BP Code. and both are
Sort Type - Alpha.
Order -> Descending (or) Ascending.
Summary -> Select the Tick Mark.
New Page -> UnCheck the Tick Mark because if you need the second page Print of GROUP BY.
You can select the Tick Mark in New Page.
SAVE IT and see the Print Preview. it will be get exact Print. .

Formatting a field in the repetitive area of the Print Layout Design

Our quantity fields in the repetitive area print out with a decimal point and 3 spaces after the decimal point (i.e. 10.000). How can I change the format of these fields so that there are no decimals included (i.e. 10) when we print an order?
Thanks.

Mike,
You could use the Formula ABS( )
Add a Formula type field
In the Formula select formala ABS()
syntax: ABS(Field_xyz)..here field Field_xyz is your number field
If your value was 10.000 the result will be 10. This formula ignores the decimal part.
The formula ROUND could be used if you want to ROUND the value to the nearest higher or lower integer
Consider number 10.450
ROUND(Field_xyz,2) will give 10
ROUND(Field_xyz,1) will give 11

Calculated Field formula not appearing in Power View Field List panel

Hi,
On Power View1 sheet of this
workbook, the two PowerPivot calculated Field formulas (First Visit and First date of FY) are not appearing in the Power View Fields panel on the right hand side.
I want to drag client and First Visit (calculated Field) to the Power View.
Why is this happening?
Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com

I found a workaround for it - I was having the same problem as you. I wanted to display the last refresh date of my data, but Power View wouldn't display a date resulting from the [Last Refresh]=MAX(Date[Date]) formula.
HOWEVER, a Pivot Table can handle that Calculated field just fine. So I renamed my measure "Refreshed Date" and added another tab in the Excel Sheet. I added a Pivot Table from PowerPivot into cell A1 and the only thing I put was that single
measure (A2). To the right of that, I did =A2 and created an Excel Data Table. The title of that was "Last Refresh". Now, I could add that Data Table to the PowerPivot Model and into Power View. And then I hid that tab.
The only downside to this method, is that if you're refreshing single tables at a time, you have to remember to refresh the Pivot Table when new data is added AND update the data in the model. I'm only connecting to one database, so I just choose
"Refresh All" in Excel and it updates everything. It works perfectly! :)
Well shoot, I even took a screenshot that helped explain everything, but it won't let me post it because my account isn't verified and it won't tell me how. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll clarify!

Formula to Count Several Fields if They are Null

I have never worked in report builder before and I am trying edit a UNIFY Report builder 6.0 qrp file.
I have 10 fields (Ink1 through Ink10). I want to add a calculated field to my report that will count which of those fields are not null or blank.
I just can't seem to get the syntax correct. I keep getting Incomplete or invalid formula.
Thanks,
Stacy

Hi Stacy,
I have check the snapshot you have provided, it seems you are designing the qrp report using the Report builder 6.0 which is not in the support scope of the SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS), please try to submit a new thread in the qrp report related
forum.
If you want to design the SSRS report, please make sure you have install the SQL Server along with the Reporting Services and try to use the designer like BIDS, visual studio, Report Builder1.0 (SSRS 2005), Report Builder2.0(SSRS 2008).Report Builder
3.0 (SSRS 2008 R2 and later) to design the report.
If you any problem related to SSRS report design, please feel free to ask.

Sort option in Repetitive Area on AR Invoice PLD is disabled / greyed out

Hi Experts,
I have an issue whereby in my PLD the sort option under Print Layout Design Manager -> Repetitive Area -> Sort is greyed out / disabled in the AR Invoice PLD. Does anyone know why this might be? I've not seen this before and I can't find any notes relating to specifically to this issue in an AR Invoice PLD.
2007A PL06 Hot Fix 01.
Many thanks for any help,
Caroline

Hello Khushwant,
In SAP when your business Process is Sales Order --> Delivery --> AR Invoice
SAP would print the Batch Numbers along with the Delivery document.
But your Business Process is Sales Order --> AR Invoice
SAP would print the Batch Numbers along with the Invoice document.
Whichever document releaves inventory, SAP will Open the Batch selection screen when adding that document and the Batch Report will be printed on a seperate sheet along with that document.
The functionality change in SBO 2007, is that the Batch number print on the Delivery / Invoice document itself instead of on a seperate Page as in 2005.
Could you please explain your Business Process in relation to what I have mentioned earlier.
Printing the Batch Number as part of the Invoice document itself in SBO 2005 is going to be a tough task.
Let me know if where and how you want to print this information.
Regards
Suda

Query Print Layout-Linking a new header field with ref to repetitive area

Hi,
In a query print layout, the query result based on pending items from a specific vendor is to be displayed.
On trying to insert a new database field (eg. Vendor Name), in the header area based on the pending item details in the repetitive area, the print output shows up a random vendor name (not related with the query result).
The RELATE TO property-option of the header field does not list the repetitive area fields, and the LINK TO option does not help either.
Please advise any other way to link the new db field to display the correct vendor name (contact person, address) as used in the query.
thanks,
Avinash
Edited by: Avinash Sashee on Jun 30, 2009 1:14 PM

Yes, the fields are part of the query.
Eg. The pending items from a specific vendor(with vendor code, name) is listed in the repetitive area of the layout. But the requirement is to have the Vendor Name and Address details in the Header portion(i.e. Letter to Vendor). Please help me on this.
thanks,
Avi.
