Query layout designer

i have generated a report in sap buisness one using query layout designer.now i want to deploy that report in another machine.
how to deploy query layout designer?

Hi Atasi,
You can use Copy express add-on to copy the Query and the Query Print layout from one database to another.
1. Install copy express on customer server
2. Restore a copy of your database in the Customer Server as well.
3. Copy from the restored database to the Live database of Customer using Copy Express.
Copy Express is a very simple add-on and easy to use.
Hope this helps.

Create ShortCut For Query Layout Design

Hi All !!!
I Designed a Report By Query Layout Design , so I want to Create ShortCut for it , Because . If I want to use This Report , I will do a lot Step .
Please Help me.
Thank alot .

There is no specific SDK function for this, you could however write code to automate the manual steps:-
- Launch Query Manager (ActivateMenuItem 4865)
- Iterate through query groups in Item "6", and expand the group containing your query
- Iterate through queries within the group, and use click method to highlight the required query
- Call Print or Print Preview (ActivateMenuItem 520 / 519)

Can't load Print Layout Designer from Query Manager

Hi All,

I define my own query report and I need to change the layout for the report.

How do I call out the layout to customize it?
Please advice.
Thank you.

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!

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.
Procedure
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.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
Using the Queries Manager window:
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.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
You can also display a print preview for user-defined queries. To do so, choose File u2192 Print Preview.
Printing User-Defined Queries with Variables
Use
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.

Adding data field in query print layout designer (PLD)

Dear Experts/Gurus,
I would like to add data field in query PLD in repetitive area1 but it can't. The query I made excluding sequence no., so I think I must use datafield for that. I use textfield in the repetitive area header1. is it correct what I have thought, I mean is it really datafield can't be add in the print layout designer if it is from query ? I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,

No you can't, you will have to recreate the query with the missing field and recreate a new print layout for this. Is still a flaw in SAP B1.
If you go to the service market place under education you can get the flashbook for the print layout design and the query manager and wizard, study them, they are of great help to understand the technology behind the PLD and the queries in SAP B1.

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 \Custom Reports

Hello All,
Is there a way to set a custom report as default in the Print Layout Designer for A/R Invoice in SAP B1 ?
Thank you and Best wishes and Happiness in the New Year 2009.
Ben

Hello All,
Thank you for your answer but I would like to be more exact in my question because I already know how to set a Print Layout as default in a screen of SAP B1 like A/R Invoice by the way that Parlati has mentioned :
1. Open a blank AR Invoice (e.g. service or item type)
2. Click on Menu >> Tools >> Print Layout Designer... or pen icon on toolbar
3. With The Document Type selected - choose template and click on Set as Default
But I usually use the Query Manager Tool of SAP B1 to create new queries and reports and I use the Print Layout Designer to setup the layout of these reports. These reports are printed normally via the print preview Icon of the toolbar. But now I would like to know how can I set one of these Reports as default in A/R Invoice screen of SAP. Because it's a one of my customized Invoices.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you.
Ben.

2. If I have defined one new taxcode(for example Insurance with rate 0.75), then how can I display the tax amount on report??????/

exactly,
then you can use query assistant to create a customized query

Print layout design (PLD) - Incoming Payment

Hi All,
Under incoming payment, can i have the details in terms of line by line? Somehow rather, the design that was produced by the 'system', they details of my payment is gather together in one box. How can i have it to be line by line? It looks more nicer to be given to my customer as an official receipt.
Anyone has come across on this?
Need your experts urgently.
Thanks.
Harith

Hi Harith,
The requirment what you are asking is not possible through PLD but the format what you have asked is possible through Query Print Layout Design.
here you will create the Query which fetchs the required value the design the PLD for that in the Query Print Layout.
As we had faced similar situation we resolved it by using Query Print Layout Designer.
hope this helps you out.

Adding a field in already existing query layout

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I have to add couple of fields in an already existing query layout.
Through SQ01 and layout painter I have added the fields to the layout. When I test from query painter it displays the newly added fields. But when I execute the transaction that is designated to run the query its not displaying those fields.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Arun

Arun,
As you have done some changes to the query,the internal report generator will generate a new program correspponding to the Query which should be attached to the T-code.
Currently the t-code might be having the earlier program name ie the program generated by the query before changes were made hence it is not displaying.
Just check the program name of the Query and the program name attached to the tcode.

Doing user query layout

Hello All:
Does anyone have experience with user designed query template? It seems I have no way to customerize the width (fix width) of a column or do anything with the data. (calculate sub total etc)... In my own template (which strictly copied from system default template, I can delete the title, row text file and still the report bring out data. Does that mean I have no way to customerize the output?
Anyone have documentation I should be following?

Bo,
Query Print layout > User Report (System) can be saved as your own template.
You can then open your new Query Layout template and pretty much change the Page width, size, header, footer, hide fields, borders and almost everything including the default printer, grid size, fonts, etc...
You will not be able to define the individual field positions of Title and Row variable which represent the query data i.e., Repetitve Area Header and Details. This is mainly because the number of header and line values will purely depend on your query.
NOTE: Please do not delete any field from the template as everyfield in there is linked to something or the other. You may resize them to
Left = 0, Top = 0, Width = 0, Height = 0, and also hide them.
One draw back of Query layout template is, the Query once generated as a template if changed will not reflect in the Query layout. You have to redo a whole new Query Print layout for the changes to reflect. If you are 100% sure with the query only then you should click <b>"CREATE REPORT"</b> and generate the layout. The Query layout cannot be added to the user Menu as the Print layout will not work. It can only be viewed on the screen.
