Print Layout Designer - Different Variable No for Different Currencies

Hi Experts,
I will need your support once again.I just noticed that the Withholding tax field on the Invoice print layout displays only when the transaction is in Local currency,while trying to trouble shoot this issue, I discovered that the Variable Number for the withholding Tax field for transactions in Local currency differ from that of USD transactions.
I need this field to display irrespective of the currency, how can I achieve this? Can I get a comon variable number for that field ?
Any info will be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hi Chike,
The answer is no. You can not change them because they hold different values. If you want to use one PLD to print both LC and FC, you have to use many formula fields to do so.
Thanks,
Gordon

Print Layout Designer:Due date in Delivery document

In print layout designer in 2005 version for Delivery document when they preview the document in document printing it compute an automatic due date but if the preview was done in the delivery document itself the due date is the same as posting date.
And as to delivery document in SAP no due date will be computed because due date will be determine upon invoice. But upon checking on their database, the same layout/template was used in the preview of the document in the delivery itself and in the document printing. The due date used in the layout was delivery due date.
They want to apply the scenario of having automatic computation of due date in Delivery document in the print layout designer in their 2007 version. All details created in the Print layout designer in 2005 version are defined already in their 2007 version but when the document was preview in document printing no computation of due date.
Is the layout used in the preview of delivery document itself was different when i used the document printing and select the same document and preview it? Is it possible to compute the due date in delivery document?
Can someone help me?

Hi Paul,
Yes, we already informed our customer that in delivery document no due date will be computed. But my question is it is possible that the print layout used in the preview of delivery document itself was different when the preview is done in the document printing window? To preview the document in document printing, select or highlight one transactions and click preview.
When we check the customer database and preview the delivery document itself the due date is
the same as posting date but when i preview the document in the document printing when you check the
field due date it was not the same as posting date.
We check the layout and the field is Database Delivery: Due date. The layout name was also the same when we preview
the transactions in delivery document itself and in the document printing.
Can someone tell me if the layout was different in the document printing window under Sales A/R module?
Thanks,
Janice

Print layout designer for develop report based on query

Dear Experts/Gurus,
I am amazing about the manage previous reconciliation report. When I opened it using print layout designer, it looks like the report is not built using query, but I am not sure yet. This is very confusing. I created query similar with manage previous reconciliation (MPR), but when I link the query to print layout and try to make similar format/appearance with MPR report (reconciliation management (system)), it is not success.
Isn't the MPR report built not based on query ? I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,

Hi,
I am not sure I understand what's the problem:
Is it the layout that is different or the data?
Regarding the data you can use SQL Profiler (maybe you did?) to find out what queries are fired, but please note that there are some stored procedures in the DB that are used for some specific functions - not sure whether the "MPR" uses any of these.
Then you must include some non-default filter in SQL Profiler...
...but you can also use the logging functionality in B1 for that purpose:
Just activate the logging (see the "log" folder in the B1 subdirectory) in the corresponding config file: choose the option to have the SQLs logged in conjunction with the logging being triggered in all cases (not just error).
Thus you will get all the SQLs - just plain - from the B1 application, but note that it will obviously slow it down!

Print Layout Designer for UDO

Hi,
Can we design report with print layout designer for UDO forms?
If yes, how do we accomplish this?
If not, is there any other alternative?
I am using 2004B. Thanks.

I use the iTextSharp project to create PDF's (http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/)... its free and it works (A little hard to use, but it works). A more simple PDF-project are SharpPDF (http://sharppdf.sourceforge.net/). This is also free and very easy to use, but not that many features.

Finnaly...
someone send me PLD manual
And my problem solved
==============
Procedure
After defining the sort, perform the following steps
1. From the menu bar choose Print Layout Designer → Group.
2. Select a group number.
3. Select 1 for a sub-sort or sub-total for the primary sort, select 2 for the secondary sort and so on.
Each group is linked to its relevant row number in the Sort window described above. Thus, every field created in a certain group relates only to its group's corresponding row in the Sort window.
The Repetitive Area Header titles are now hidden as well as any field created in the Repetitive Area Footer. The reason is that these two areas are linked to groups. Each one of the groups has two areas of its own.
4. To define the sub-sort, do the following:
a. In the Repetitive Area Header assign a title for the required sort.
b. Create a new Formula field
c. Choose the Formula Editor button and select the operand SortValue() in the Operation field.
This action will print the Items table divided into separate titles each time the Item number changes.
5. To define sub-totals do the following:
a. In the Repetitive Area Footer create a Formula field.
b. Choose the Formula Editor pushbutton and select the operand ColSum(UniqueID as String) in the Operation field (for the Quantity field from the rows in the Sales Quotation).
The field within the brackets defines the column for which a total will be calculated. You can also calculate totals for the Price and Total columns.

Design: different AP Groups for different SSIDs?!

Imagine I have different requirements for the AP Groups for different SSIDs
I suppose I can't have different AP Groups for different SSIDs?!
Imagine I have to many Clients to use one single VLAN for one SSID. So I will use AP Groups.
For SSIDâXâ
Let's say I have 5 buildings with 800 Users, so I make a AP Group per Building and tell those APs that they are in that group.
For SSIDâYâ
All though I have this SSID also in all 5 buildings, I only have very view Users, so I could make one single VLAN which makes everything easier.
Am I obligated now to create 5 VLANs for SSIDâYâ too?!
*This is a made up example. In reality I would make different numbers of AP Groups for different SSIDs because I have significantly different number of Clientsâ¦ and traffic characteristics (more or less broadcast).
But it's also about the size of the VLANs, do I make a view large Broadcast Domains (VLANs) or more small ones.
Greetings, Andi

You can have a setup like this if you want:
AP Group 1
SSID X Vlan 10
SSID Y Vlan 21
SSID Z Vlan 31
AP Group 2
SSID X Vlan 10
SSID Y Vlan 22
SSID Z Vlan 31
AP Group 3
SSID X Vlan 10
SSID Y Vlan 23
SSID Z Vlan 32
AP Group 4
SSID X Vlan 10
SSID Y Vlan 24
SSID Z Vlan 32
AP Group 5
SSID X Vlan 10
SSID Y Vlan 25
SSID Z Vlan 33
AP Group 6
SSID X Vlan 10
SSID Y Vlan 26
SSID Z Vlan 33

Help with Print Layout Designer

Hi all,
I'm not sure if I should post this here or not, I already posted it in the Business One Forum. Moderator(s) if this is not the proper place please delete it and let me know that it is not the appropriate venue.
I need some help with Print Layout Designer. I am running 2005A SP01, and my customer wants a modification to the Sales Backorder Report. They want to add the column "In Stock" to both the report as displayed on the screen and the printed document. The report rendered to the screen has the In Stock, but it is not checked as visible. I check it and In Stock shows up as designed. The part I am having problems with is the printed document. I opened the PLD from the Backorder Report, and saved it under a different name. I resized some of the columns in the repetitive area (header and data) to make room for the In Stock column. I CAN add the text field Instock as free text and enter "In Stock" as the content. I looked at the "backorder" column in the PLD, and it is a text field with the source System Variable and the variable is 109. I would assume that all I need to do in my added column is to set the source to System Variable and enter the variable number. That is the problem; I can't find the variable number for that column. I looked on the report rendered to the screen with system information on and the variable is "3 #000027825,OnHand". I looked at the Back Order column of the report rendered to the screen and the variable is "3 #000028725,OpenCreQty". I found a spreadsheet that is supposed to contain a list of system variables for 2007A, but the document type for this report is BRDR and that document type does not appear in the list of document types in that spreadsheet. I looked for a similar spreadsheet for 2005A SP01 but didn't find one. I DID find a document "How To Customize Printing Templates with the Print Layout Designer". According to that document, I should be able to get the system variable from the report rendered to the screen with System Information turned on. Can anyone help?
TIA,
Steve

I haven't dealt with this before so I can't be certain, but here are my thoughts.
The Backordered Qty is probably a calculated field, so that's why it's a system variable. The In Stock is a defined field, so you probably can use the file and field number, OITM, OnHand. I would look at maybe the stock number or description to see how those are setup on the form instead of the backordered qty field.

Print Layout Designer or Crystal.....! What to do?

Dear All,
We need to link our User forms to Print layouts in order to make our reports work exactly the way SAP reports work. Is there a way to enable the print and print preview toolbar buttons and make them show our Report Layout? So far the response from SDK Forum is not encouraging and many questions regarding the same issue remain unanswered there.
After looking for the solution in the SDK Forums we came across these two replies from Mr. Nick He and Mr.Frank Moebius. Both are of the opinion that currently SAP does not offer a support for this feature and better use a third party tool. We are not in a position right now to opt for any third party tool but if we get a clear response from your side regarding this matter, we can go for it. Kindly have a look at the following links:
Re: Print Layout Design for user form in SapBusinessOne2005A(6.80.317) sp:01.?
Re: Add PLD Layouts in 2005 through sdk
The recommended solution within SAP B1 to develop Add-on reports is through User Queries and creating a Print Layout and run them via Query Manager Window. This approach in our view has the following drawbacks that make it less friendly with the end user:
1. Add-on forms appear in the left pane/menu, whereas reports would have to run through Query Manager only, which is in fact a small toolbar button on the top right side. We can add the Query Manager link to user menu but it doesnt solve the problem.
2. A user with full authorization over the Print Layout can accidentally overwrite it by clicking the Create Report Button, whereas in case of SAP Reports the Layouts remain unchanged and only saved as a new Layout and set as Default Layout for a report. Add-on Reports cannot do this.
3. Different behavior of Layouts in Query Manager on Single Click and Double Click. In the Query Manager, if a user just selects a query by a Single Click and views a Print Preview (Layout) then the custom user Layout appears. But if a user Double clicks a query then the Query Window appears, exposing the query and making it editable. Also the Preview(Layout) is different in this case. The user can either view the Window or Table Layout in this case. Hence this exercise would make the user confused and prone to errors.
4. The Parameter/Criteria window that is SAP generated is not enough to fulfill user friendly interface requirements. Is there a way to add List boxes or Combos to that form. The parameter selection Checkboxes also behave in a strange way that even the experts find difficult to manipulate. If they are of no use, whats the point in having them on the form in the first place.
All these points are leading us to confusion over the decision as to whether go for Query Based Reports or use Third Party tools. Kindly help us out in this regard. Your response would help us save some valuable time for our Add-on Development.

<<< If there is a solution then it has to be from SDK. We can only opt for third party components and frameworks only if any of the SAP representatives ensure us that the current version of SDK does not offer such support.>>>
The answer to that is to lodge your query as an Issue to SAP directly as a support question or go through your local SAP representative. If the functionality is not offered by SAP you can do a Development Request ( DRQ) and SAP will develop it if they think it will become userful.
<<<If this Forum is not meant to be answered by SAP representatives then kindly tell me any other Technical Support Portal from where i can get the answer directly. >>>
This forum is accessed mostly by SAP Business One Developers on SDK. However we are fortunate that some SAP employees who are very knowledgeble take some time off to answer queries.
Since it is a Forum, no one is obliged to answer. As indicated above , Try SAP directly if you need a definite answer.
<<<>>>
Since you mentioned Crystal: We as SAP Business One SDK developers, have come across similar issues and opted for a Inhouse developed Crystal Solution. It has been so popular we are selling it as a Generic add-on to B1.

Print Layout Designer - inconsistent output

Hi,
We have received consistent compaint from our client that the output of Print Layout Designer are inconsistent.
Eg: The same PLD template is used for An invoice print out from 2 different workstation. However, workstation A display the format properly, workstation B will have missing lines between boxes or the alignment is not displayed properly.
We have also recently encountered the problem that our client export the invoice to Acrobat and then print it. However, it displays properly for workstation with Acrobat version 8, 9, but missing lines for version 7.
Another scenario could be the form is displayed properly on the screen, but the physical print out to a printer is not consistent.
We really appreciate some share of thoughts here. Is switching to other report writer, eg: Crystal Report, the only option?
Edited by: Shwu Hua Gan on Aug 10, 2008 2:57 AM

Gordon,
Thanks for replying.
This is what happen to our client.
The font size of the customised PLD SAP Invoice is size 5. In order to preview the layout, they have to preview in PDF, once they are happy with the details and then print.
In some workstations, there are Adobe Reader version 8 or 9. In a couple of workstations, there are Adobe Acrobat version 9.
Let's say, there are 2 fields with the following properties:
Field A, Left = 0, Width = 10.
Field B, Left = 10, Width = 10.
Adobe Acrobat version 9 display the border of the field properly. However, those with Adobe Reader 8 / 9 will see gaps between fields.
If we change them as follows the field the gap;
Field A, Left = 0, Width = 10.
Field B, Left = 9, Width = 11,
Then those with Adobe Acrobat version 9 is missing the border for because Field A overlaps with Field B. But Adobe Reader 8/9 will print fine. It also works fine if user click 'Print Preview' as normal and then click 'Print'
Does anyone knows whether this inconsistencies is caused by
- printer drivers; or
- Adobe; or
- SAP Business One.

Print layout design

total cost price:Rs105
i want to have final report as:
product1
total cost price:Rs209.
in 2005 .B version
so please help me out....
regards,
varalakshmi.

Hi,
If you want to create a base on tax rate, you can, First, goto to Sort and from the Sort properties, set/sort the Product to by ascending the do not check the summarize, then choose the Field where the tax is then check the Summarize then ok.
In you report proper, make a formula for the rate with Content : Concat(Field_rate) then put from the Group values as '1' then uncheck visible, then create a your report since the rate is not visible it will group according to rate and sort according to product.
regards,
Clint

Copy Express - Copying Print Layout Designs from one company to another

Dear All,
i was wondering if one of you on the forum could help me with copy express.
I understand through the DIAPI, you cannot code to copy print layout designs, and if you copy the fields through SQL, SAP will no longer support the database.
It is the first time using Copy Express and am very confused about what to do.
Could someone post a step by step was of saving a design and then copying from one database to another.
Thank you so much for anyone that can help.
Regards

Go to PLDs and save a different copy of every PLDs by making Save as and then try to copy such PLDs.
I also encountered such problem and I tried the same I suggest you.
So try once.....

How to use query print layout design

i have a sql query and i want to see its result on report with the help of print layout design.

In addition to Tuvia's answer, here is the printing procedure of query PLD:
Printing User-Defined Queries
Use
After you have linked a user-defined query to a user report template, you can print it according to its linked print layout.

To print a user-defined query, use one of the following two procedures:
Using the Query Print Layout window:
1. Choose Tools u2192 Queries u2192 Query Print Layout.
2. Choose the Reports tab page and select the query you would like to print.
3. Choose File u2192 Print.

1. From the toolbar, choose with the quick info text Queries Manager.
2. Select the query you would like to print.
3. Choose File u2192 Print.

When a user-defined query contains variables, its linked print layout will also display the variables data and print them.
In the print layout linked to that query, you can see that an additional area containing the condition's parameters was added
There is pdf file relate to Query PLD in the SAP service marketplace website.

Print Layout Designer Preview

Hi experts,
We have a report using the Print Layout Designer, before printing it we view it first. When we preview the report, amounts can't be seen fully however, when we pint it, it's complete. Why is this so? Hope you could give me response in soonest.
Thanks,
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
If your print results do not match your printer preview, it always links issue with different printer driver. It is OK as long as your printing results are good. If I were you, I would only care about the actual printing results. That is because, you may have different printers to use. All of them may have slightly different results.
Thanks,
Gordon
