Problem in implementing formatted search

Dear All,
I am using the below code to implement formatted search for item master itemcode textbox. But i am unable to get the formatted search icon for the itemcode text box/ screen. Please correct me where I am going wrong.
Dim oRs As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset
                                    oRs = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
                                    Dim oQuery As SAPbobsCOM.UserQueries = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserQueries)
                                    oQuery.Query = "SELECT T0.[ItemCode], T0.[ItemName] FROM OITM T0" 'Query
                                    oQuery.QueryCategory = -1
                                    oQuery.QueryDescription = "GetDfltBin"
                                    oQuery.Add()
                                    Dim oFormatted As SAPbobsCOM.FormattedSearches = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oFormattedSearches)
                                    oFormatted.FormID = "150"
                                    oFormatted.ItemID = "5"
                                    oFormatted.Action = SAPbobsCOM.BoFormattedSearchActionEnum.bofsaQuery
                                    oFormatted.FieldID = "ItemCode"

Problems using a formatted search to link order lines to order header

Hi,
I'm having a nightmare trying to get the main lines table to populate the header within a sales order using a formatted search.
I have created a UDF on the header for total value, and where items entered onto the order are of a certain type I need the header UDF to be sumated.
Basically I have three parts for packaging (PACK1, PACK2 and PACK3), and the header has a UDF called U_TotPack
Someone did sugest the following query, but this doesn't appear to work either:
select sum(t0.linetotal) from rdr1 t0 inner join ordr t1 on t0.docentry = t1.docentry
where t1.docnum = $[ORDR.DocNum] and t0.itemcode in ('PACK1', 'PACK2', 'PACK3')
If it is a problem for me to use the line total field (as it is a variable calculation) I am happy to total the quantities for the items found, but I just can't seem to build any form of relationship between the header and lines.
Hope someone out there is able to help as this one has really got me stumped.
Cheers,
J

Hi Julian,
I'm assuming you are trying to populate the header UDF before the Order is added to the system? If yes then it is not possible to achieve this via a formatted search, only SDK. A header FS cannot properly access line information, it only works the other way around - header info to line level.
I presume the reasoning is that which line should your header FS take a value from? The FS syntax also doesn't allow you to loop throught all lines.
The SQL that someone else suggested would only work for a sales order already added to the database. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Andrew.

Formatted search problem

Hi,
i've a problema with a formatted search:
i want to create a serial number's substring to copy in a user Field.
i want to launch this query automatically, and i want to update this user field when the user create serial numbers, without the user launch this query.
this is my query:
SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTRING (T0.[IntrSerial], 11,9) FROM OSRI T0 INNER JOIN SRI1 T1 ON T0.SysSerial = T1.SysSerial WHERE T0.[ItemCode] = 'ST_2400_4X2_SL' and T0.[IntrSerial] = $[$3.54.0]
Anyone can help? thanks a lot

Hi,
the query i s ok, but i have to start it manually, although i want to start it automatically when the serial number field is written, how can do it? Thanks a lot

Formatted Search and Item Events

Hi,
I am having a huge problem with using Formatted Search and Add-Ons.
On the Sales Order Form I have a Formatted search Setup on the Customer Reference Number, it is set to Auto-Refresh when the CardCode changes. This is the only Formatted search on this form and it works fine.
However, when I run my Add-On, and enter an Item Code it takes about 30 seconds to display the Item Description. In tracing my Add-On it appears to call the Item Event et_GOT_FOCUS on the Item Code Column I just entered over 50 times. I don't use other events, but for testing I did turn on all events and the only other event it occured with was et_LOST_FOCUS.
If I turn off my Add-On or turn off Auto Refresh on the Formatted search everything runs as it should.
I figure the Auto Refresh of the Formatted search has something to do with this, but I need to have this turned on. Another thing is that it only seems to call this event when Before Action = false, It does not seem to be called on Before Action = True.
Can I disable the Formatted search temporarily from within my add-on or is there something else I need to do to keep this from happening.
Thanks for Any Help
Paul

Hi Alfredo,
Thanks for the suggestion, that sounds like it might be what I am looking for. But I am confused on trying to visualize how this would work. Do I need to duplicate the entire logic that Business One already does or are there some functions in the DI/UI that I can call that does the functions. Since I am doing this from a System(Sales Order) not User Defined Form, does that change anything. I did see the FormattedSearches Object to add a Formatted Search through the DI, but that seems like it will just create the Object and not help me execute it from my Add On.
Is there some code snipits you could provide or get me going in the right direction on how to implement the formatted searches from within my Add-On.
Thanks Again,
Paul

Formatted Search calling a stored procedure

Hello all,
I am having a problem getting a formatted search to work when I call a stored procedure from SAP (I am doing this because of a bug we discovered and need to get the client live Feb 1). The stored procedure works fine when passing variables from within SQL Server, but fails when using SAP. The problem seems to be where I need to get a UDF from the item master table, but not sure. Thanks in advance

Mark,
I believe the syntax of your formatted search is not right. I guess you are trying to get the U_Width from Item Master and the other values from the current form.
SELECT @Width = T0.U_WTH FROM [dbo].[OITM] T0.WHERE T0.ItemCode = $[$38.1.0]
EXEC TBC_CHOP @Width, $[$38.U_LINETYPE.0], $[$38.U_LI.0], $[$38.U_LN.0],
$[$38.U_LD.0], $[$38.U_HI.0], $[$38.U_HN.0], $[$38.U_HD.0], $[$38.U_QTYORD.Number]
If you see I have added a third parameter which is the Type to the formatted seach field selection $[$Item.Column.Type]
I have made then all 0 but you may change it as per the col type. This Type should be 0 for Char type columns, Number for numeric columns and Date for Date type cols

Formatted Search on Report Parameter

Hi Experts,
I've 5 reports that I build using Crystal Report 2008 for SAP B1. All of them will ask for parameter input. And for the parameter value input user will be helped by formatted search. What confused me is that when I set formatted search for a report, another reports formatted search value will also get change. For example I have 3 reports, A B and C.
A has 3 parameters: date from, date to and warehouse code
B has 4 parameters: as of date, warehouse code, item code and branch
C has 3 parameters: as of date, item code, division
When I update the formatted search for report B (No query, Warehouse, Item, Branch), then report A and C parameters will also follow those changes. So everytime I run the different report I've to reset the formatted search that will be user input in the report.
Can anyone give me suggestion how to solve this problem so the formatted search attached to each parameter won't change?
Thank you before

Hi Julie,
I am using SAP token. This is the detail. I need an input of card code of customer to see detail report of the code chosen, but the input can also be typed by user. and they can type 0 so they can see detail report of all code. At first I think I can use formatted search but the problem is the query I use in each parameter keep on changing, following the last change I do to another report. (as I explain in my first post). Is there any suggestion??

I'm using EP 6.0 SP2 directly installed from the CD
#51 020 549 without explicit installation of any patch or hotfix; the portal itself shows the version number 6.0.2.0.0 (implementation version 6.2.0.0.200310100950).
I switched on logging but I never reached the INamespaceManager's methods isQueryPropertyNameUnderstood() or getQueryBuilder().
So I figure that this might a problem of my (too old?) unpatched version of EP6????
What can I do to get the serach func running?
Thanks for your support,
Daniel

Hi Karsten,
thanks for your annotation.
Does it mean that I HAVE TO apply at least Patch 4
to get the search working or SHOULD I apply the patch to be up-to-date and look for an error in my code???
Thanx a lot,
best regards,
Daniel

Problem when create auto numbering in BP master using Formatted Search

Hi all,
I have a problem in creating auto numbering in BP for Customer type using Formatted search
My query is like this
declare @tempNo as char(20)
set @tempNo=(select Isnull(max(REPLACE(OCRD.CardCode , LEFT(OCRD.CardCode,10),'')),0) + 1
from OCRD where (CardType ='C') and LEFT(OCRD.CardCode,3) = 'CU.' )
set @tempNo='CU.'left(convert(varchar,GETDATE(),112),6)'.'+@tempNo
select cast(@tempNo as char(20))
It should be creating the new number for example
CU.201101.1
CU.201102.2
CU.201103.3
CU.201103.4
The format will be like this CU.YYYYMM.autonumbering
So if the current year is still the same it will always increase the number and it will reset the number become 1 if the current year is change.
But when i execute the number , the number doesn't increase, still generate the last number CU.201103.4
I have use this query in generate item number, it runs well but different format.
Is there some thing wrong with my query?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Jia shun

Hi Jia shun,
You have posted an identical threads. There is no such need. Please close this one and response to the one with answer already.

Problem with Formatted Search-Urgent

Hi All, I have a problem as follows:
I am trying to set up a formatted search in the Batches Setup window of GRPO document. I want to pickup the "Total Created" figure from Rows From Document grid (i.e. the upper grid) in the form. I want to add 100 to it and then to display the result in the "Batch Attribute1" Field in the lower grid i.e. Created Batches Grid.
Please someone give me the tested query for the purpose..
Thanks In Advance

Try the next FS:
SELECT $[$35.38.Number]+100

Problem with activation of Formatted Searches

There seems to be an error in the activation of formatted searches in SAP B1.
The following is an example to demonstrate the real situation with a minimum of complexity.
1. We have defined 2 user defined fields, U_trigger and U_target, in the title area of documents. Both are defined as alphanumeric fields with standard length 10 and some predefined values.
2. For sales orders we have defined for UDF 'target' that a formatted search 'getTriggerValue' is activated on changes of UDF 'trigger'.
3. The formatted search 'getTriggerValue' reads the value of UDF 'trigger' and writes it to UDF 'target':
DECLARE @triggerValue AS nvarchar(10)
SET @triggerValue = $[ORDR.U_trigger]
SELECT @triggerValue
When we add a new document to the database, i.e. the document is in "button-mode" = 'add', there are no problems with the activation of the FS on field 'target' when the value of field 'trigger' is changed!
After a document is already written to the database and is later displayed on the screen again, the document is in "button-mode" = 'OK'. In this situation the FS on field 'target' IS NOT ACTIVATED when the value of field 'trigger' is changed, i.e. the value of 'trigger' is not copied to 'target'.
After this first change the document is now in "button-mode" = 'update'. If we now change the value of field 'trigger' a second time the FS on field 'target' is activated an the value is copied from 'trigger' to 'target'.
If we define the FS of field 'target' with option 'Refresh Regularly' the FS is activated after the first change of field 'trigger' as expected.
But we CAN NOT USE THIS OPTION AS A STANDARD SOLUTION for our problem, since some fields and their FS can not work with this option and need the standard option 'Display Saved Values' set. Otherwise some fields yield wrong values, since they are working not only with constant predefined values as in the simple example above, but with dates which are set by GETDATE() in the FS, e.g.
Is this behaviour a bug of SAP (FS is not activated even if the value of the refresh field is changed)?
If not, what is the idea behind this behaviour?
And how can I get around this behaviour?
Thank you for your support!

Hello Suda!
Many thanks for your answer!
Perhaps my explanations are a bit in confusion.
The example in my question is just to demonstrate the behaviour of the formatted search with option 'Display Saved Values' set, i.e. in a document that is already saved to the database, only after the second change the formatted search is activated.
I am aware that with the simple formatted search that I have shown as an example everything works fine with the option 'Refresh Regularly'.
But what is the meaning to activate the formatted search only after the second change when option 'Display Saved Values' is set?
The reason why we can't use option 'Refresh Regularly' is that in our real application not only constant values are copied from 'trigger' to 'target'.
Let me give you an example which approaches the real situation more than the first example:
DECLARE @trigger AS nvarchar(20)
SET @trigger = $[ORDR.U_trigger] -- U_trigger / UDF 'trigger'
DECLARE @save AS datetime
SET @save = $[ORDR.U_date] -- U_date / UDF 'date'; save current date
IF @trigger = 'getDate'
SELECT GETDATE()
ELSE IF @trigger = 'getDateConst'
SELECT '01.01.2008'
ELSE IF ...
ELSE
SELECT @save -- no value in @trigger to change date ==> reset
Option 'Display Saved Values' set: formatted search is activated only after the second change of value of UDF 'trigger'. This is not acceptable!
Option 'Refresh Regularly' set: Suppose the 'trigger' is set to 'getDate'. The actual date, e.g. 25.06.08, is displayed in UDF 'date'. The document is saved to database. When the document is fetched again on the next day, the formatted search is activated immediately without the change of any values, i.e. 'trigger' still is set to 'getDate'. This is evaluated in the formatted search and the function GETDATE() is called and the now actual date, 26.06.08, is written to UDF 'date'. This is wrong!
I hope that the new example shows why we can't use option 'Refresh Regularly'!
We need no regularly refreshed value of UDF 'date', we need an activation of the formatted search only when the value of UDF 'trigger' changes. But why is it activated only after the second change when 'Display Saved Values' is set?
Thank you for further support!

Currency Formatted Search problem

Hi
I am trying to creat a formatted search for the marketing docs price / unit price field that populates the field with the currency and money value. I have a lookup table defined in sap where i store the currency and price i want to populate the udf with, based on certain conditions from udf's on the marketing doc's lines.
when i try to type in a price manually on the form e.g. USD 1 SAP accepts the value with no problems, however business one only lets me insert the actual money value in the field and then inserts the default currency ie if my local currency is ZAR and my formatted search returns a price of 1 then SBO automatically formats the field as ZAR 1.
If i want to insert a value of USD 1 into the field with the formatted search then SBO returns an error message. I have tried variations such as returning 'USD 1', '1 USD', '1USD', 'USD1' with the formatted search, all of which return an error message. However if i manually type any of the examples in SBO accepts them and formats the column correctly.
This is quite an important functionality requirement as the customer needs the ability to have different currencies on different lines of a marketing document.
I have also tried using pricelist lookups with the formatted search but experience exactly the same problem in that i cannot specify the currency in the formatted search.
If anyone has experienced this problem please let me know if you were able to come up with a solution as manually capturing the prices per line is not an option (documents are often in excess of 500 lines)

Hi Philip,
Your question is obviously about functionality of the B1 application - rather than the B1 SDK - and thus might fit better into the "SAP Business One" Forum: SAP Business One Application
However, I tried to use the non-LC in a Formatted Search in B1 2007 - and I didn't have a problem with that.
Maybe it's just a bug (that has been fixed)?
Maybe you should consider using an Add-On / SDK?
Maybe there's just sth wrong in your query? ...are you sure that your "USD 1" variations are exactly as you wrote?
Regards,
Frank

Problem With Formatted Search.

Hi to all,
I have linked a formatted search to a UDF that lies at row level in AP Invoice. This field is used to display the Sales Order Price. The requirement is that from SO we create a purchase order and subsequently create a goods receipt and AP invoice.. Now in invoice it is showin perfectly fine whether it is copied from goods receipt or purchase order.. But in the purchase order and goods receipt screen this query will not work. And the same query used in AP invoice is being linked to these documents. Is there any work around for this?? Is it possible to run queries based on the form numbers?? If so ho do i pull the form number in the formatted search query??
Please Help!!!!
Regards
Aris

I recommend creating separate queries for each document.
ie
1 formatted search to lookup price on sales order from AP Invoice
1 formatted search to lookup price on sales order from GRPO
1 formatted search to lookup price on sales order from PO
then change the lookup to pull fields from the document that you are using as a reference.
when you are building the formatted searhes start by returning the values that are you are using as a reference. That way you are sure that you are pulling the correct information.
Then layer in the lookup to the sales order.
If you get stuck I recommend that you copy and paste the formatted search in SQL Server management studio and replace the variables refereces with real values.
In my experience troubleshooting queries is more effective when using SQL Server management studio. (the error reporting is better).

Problem in Formatted Search

I have added two UDFs namely ItemCode and ItemName on header level of Profit center form.
I have attached folwing query to ItemCode for Formatted Search
select Itemcode from oitm
I want to display the corresponding itemname automaticaly in itemname field. So I created the folowing query:
Select oitm.itemname from oitm where itemcode= (select $[$U_ItemCode.U_ItemCode])
setting is that Auto refresh when field changes (ItemCode).
Now what result I am getting is as follows:
if I change ItemCode and goto ItemName, the itemname should change automaticaly, but it doesn't happen. However if I press Shift+F2 here on ItemName it takes the correct ItemName. I want that ItemName should be changes as ItemCode is changed automaticaly...
I am using a Patch 01.
plz help

Amol,
Please try
SELECT T0.ItemName FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.ItemCode = $[[OPRC.U_ItemCode]]
NOTE: The format is $[[TableName.UserField]] . Since you have create the User field in OPRC table I am referring to it as OPRC.U_ItemCode
remove the http:// thats got added.
