Query using a Formatted Search

Hi,
I am trying to do the following but its not working and need a little help please.
I have a series of UDF's on the Goods Receipt PO screen which I need populating on the batch transactions screen automatically.
i.e I have a UDF called U_Width on the main Goods Receipt screen (PDN1) and when I click add on a batched item it asked me for the batch details. I need the UDF in the Batch Screen (OIBT.U_Width) to be automatically populated with this information.
I thought by using the following simple query and set as a formatted search would work but it doesn't seem to recognised the PDN1 table as a current document
SELECT $[PDN1.U_Width]
help please

$ value will only work for current active form. It is not possible to get the other form's value.
Thanks,
Gordon

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.

Andrew.

Selecting the Description field for a UDF when using a formatted search

I am trying to pull the Description field from a UDF on CRD1 in a formatted search in marketing documents.
Here is my current query but I do not know the correct syntax to pull the description instead of the code from the UDF.
SELECT T1.[U_ISEName] FROM OCRD T0 INNER JOIN CRD1 T1 ON T0.CardCode = T1.CardCode
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Gordon
I tried your suggestion. On CRD1 I created a FS to pull the name from the OSLP tabel. I then used your query on the sales order to pull the stored value on CRD1.
but now I am getting this error message
1). {Microsoft]{SQL NativeClient} ][SQL Server] Invalid column name 'U_ISE'> 2) {Microsoft]{SQL NativeClient][SQL Server] Statement 'Sales Tax Codes' OSTC (s) could not be prepared.
The name appears to pull
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Failed to find out the source table of query in the formated search

Dear All,
I am trying to find out how to know the table that it is the source of a formatted search query. In the query manager --> formatted search --> select one of query --> double click to see the query. I see the query but I can't find out what table it will be used if the query like this :
SELECT $[$13.87.NUMBER] - ($[$13.9.NUMBER] + $[$13.88.NUMBER])
If I go to receipt from production form, the column no relate to the above query are mixture of IGE1 and OWOR, so what actually the table must I choose if I redesign the above query from query generator. I need your help to solve this question. I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Assuming the FS is currently assigned to a form field you could try the following:
- Look in OUQR for the query and get it's id (OUQR.IntrnalKey).
- Look for this id value in CSHS.QueryID and check the FormID value of any records listed. It's not the table name you're looking for but the FormID might help e.g. 139 = Sales Order = ORDR/RDR1 etc.
Hope this helps.

Andrew.

Using a formatted search which incorporates copying data from base document

Hi
I have a user selling tiles. They sell by sq meter but will only sell whole boxes. I have a formatted search on the quantity field to calculate the number of sq meters in a box. They also sell indivudual units and will key this value directly into the quantity field. All this works fine.
However if I enter this as a sales order and copy to a delivery, then the formatted search fires and the quantity field gets refreshed. This results in the incorrect value where the user had keyed data directly into the qty field in the base document.
Therefore I need to incorporate my base document values into my query where by if there is a base document, the query will pull the quantity data from the base document. My query so far is as follows
SELECT (CAST($[$38.U_ActMtr.0] AS DECIMAL(10, 2))*CAST(T0.U_SqmBox AS DECIMAL(10, 2))) FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.ItemCode = $[$38.1.0]
Any suggestions?
David

If I understand your requirements well, you want to save the base quantity, when the delivery is based upon a SO, and to compute it when the DLN is not copied.
Try to use this modified FS:
declare @q dec(19,6)
set @q=$[$38.11]
If $[$38.43]<>-1
Select @q
Else
SELECT (CAST($[$38.U_ActMtr.0] AS DECIMAL(10, 2))*CAST(T0.U_SqmBox AS DECIMAL(10, 2)))
FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.ItemCode = $[$38.1.0]

Addition of two rows values in table using formatted search

hi all,
i have created one UDF field in market document rows, now in AR invoice i need to add the values in the UDF fields of two rows, want to show it in anather outside UDF in title. kindly suggest me some query to track that.
Ex:- i had entered two items in rows and
for first UDF row i have given 20
for second UDF row i have given 30.
now i need to show sum of the two UDF in two rows in title UDF.
kindly give me some query used for formatted search to do this task.
regards
sandip

Sandip,
To the best of myknowledge When you try to take the row value to the header the results of the Formatted Search are not consistent.
but for your interest, I am giving below the logic to work this out.
You need two Header level user fields. One to copy the row user fields value and the other to store the sum.
You can create a simple SQL "SELECT $[$38.U_UserFieldName] (substitute with row level user field name) and attach it to the first header level user field and make it Auto refresh on doc total.
Then Attached SQL "SELECT $[ORDR.U_HeaderUserField1] + $[ORDR.U_HeaderUserField2]"
The results could be flaky because the header user field takes the value of the active row and sometime it only considers the first row active though you might be entering the second row of data.
My recommendation would be to Use The Transaction Notification Stored Procedure for this by which you can be absolutely sure that the Header User field will have the sum.
Let me know if you need directions for this.

Suda

SQL Query -How2bring multiple results into one field using Formatted Search

Hi Everyone
i am trying to bring in the results of the field dbo.Lot_ITEM.LOT using a formatted search into a row level using the following query:
SELECT     dbo.LOT_ITEM.LOT
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN dbo.LOT_ITEM ON dbo.DLN1.ItemCode = dbo.LOT_ITEM.ITEM
WHERE     dbo.LOT_ITEM.ITEM=$[DLN1.ItemCode]
however the result of the dbo.Lot_ITEM.LOT field could be more then one value depending on how many lots are assigned for that item
(for example this query would be similar to assigning batch/serial numbers to an item being despatched - as you can choose multiple batches/serials depending on the quantities available and required and then move from the left to the right side of the selection window) if that makes sense!
is it possible to bring in the multiple results into one field? and how can i amend the above query to include this?
Thankyou in advance :o)

Hi Suda
Thanks for replying :o) but im not sure about the query?
just to simplify it (as the query im working with is to do with 3rd party addons) i have used the serial/batchs field instead and used standard demo database fields from SBO 2005 sp01:
SELECT     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_IntrSerial
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN
                dbo.ixvSerialNoFact ON dbo.DLN1.DocEntry = dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry
WHERE     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.ItemCode='g1000' and dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry = '193'
The above brings me the relevant results but when i change it to be used in a formatted search:
SELECT     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_IntrSerial
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN
                dbo.ixvSerialNoFact ON dbo.DLN1.DocEntry = dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry
WHERE     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.ItemCode=$[dln1.itemcode] and dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry = $[dln1.DocEntry]
i cant seem to get it to work - now this may be because the serial number is not allocated until teh record is added to the system, however when this happens i am unable to go back in and manually trigger the query as the delivery note rows cannot be selected!
i think as what im originally wanting an answer for is same as this example, im wanting to know if this is even possible?
Thanks

Formatted search query with variable

Hi
I am trying to create a formatted search on a purchase order document.The scenario is as follows:
The issue is that the client will on certain stock records incur a tooling cost when raising a PO. This is a once off cost when they order a particular item. For example the tooling cost on a stock item is u20AC5.50. The cost price on the item is u20AC100. If they order for example 5 of these the total cost is u20AC505.50 i.e. u20AC100*5+tooling cost of u20AC5.50.
What we are attempting to do is pull through the tooling cost and add this on to the line total using a formatted search.
-UDF created on item record table. This is set type 'Unit and totals' and structure is 'Price'. This is called ToolingCost
-UDF created on marketing doc rows for ToolingCost. Again this is set to the same type and structure as the UDF on the item record.
-We have created a UDF on marketing row for total cost and set a formatted search against this with query attached that is attempting to calculate the total cost. We cannot get this to work and the problem would appear to be that the price field is a variable and this is causing an issue on the query. Can we include a variable field in our query and if so what should the syntax be?
Our query at the moment is 'SELECT 100*($[POR1.QTY.NUMBER])+($[POR1.U_TOOLINGCOSTS.NUMBER])
Note 100 in query syntax above to be replaced by price on POR1 table.
Can anyone provide assistence please.
Derek Smith

Hi Derek........
Try this.....
declare @var1_Qty as varchar(255)
declare @var2_Pr as varchar(255)
declare @var3 as float
declare @var4 as float
set @var1_Qty=$[$38.11.0]
set @var2_Pr=$[$38.14.0]
Set @var3=$[POR1.U_TOOLINGCOSTS.0]
set @var4=cast(substring(replace(@var2_Pr,',',''),0,len(replace(@var2_Pr,',',''))-3) as float)
select (@var1 * @var4)+@var3
Hope this will help you.......

FORMATTED SEARCH USING SCREEN ENTRIES

Hi ,
    i want use formatted search to do the following without using variable entry ( without the define survey variables window opening when i execute the query):
Example: When you enter a purchase order, the item search should propose only those items where the vendor entered in the Default Vendor field of the master record is the same as the vendor specified in the Vendor field of the purchase order.
i found the following explaination in the SAP B1 training material which is not all clear enough.
"To do this, you define a query that contains the Vendor field from the purchase order as the condition for the Default Vendor field. You then define this query as a formatted search for the Item no. field in the purchase order entry screen. "
i wrote a query which pretty much does what i want but , after i enter the vendor code in the purchase order header data and go to the item field and press shift+F2, instead of just proposing only those items which the above vendor sells , a "define survey variables" window opens and i will have to again choose the same vendor i just choose in the "vendor field in the header data" of the purchase order.
    can anyone plz help me out with this ???

Copy CardName into Quotation line by using formatted search

I'm looking for the right query to copy the CardName from the OCRD table into a quotation line (QUT1) by using a formatted search. The UDF field in the QUT1 is U_Levnaam. In the field U_Levnaam I want to place the formatted search with the query.
I don't no if this is possible, because the field CardName of the OCRD table doesn't have a direct link to the QUT1 table. There is a link between the OCRD and OITM table.
This is how far I came. I have tried other solutions as well but without any result. Probably is has to be a complete other query
+SELECT T0.CardName FROM OCRD T0 INNER JOIN OITM T1 ON T0.CardCode = T1.CardCode Where T0.CardCode = $[OITM.ItemCode]+
So if anyone has a solution your help will be very appreciated.
Regards,
Tim

Hiho,
your query does not make sense, look here :
SELECT T0.CardName
FROM OCRD T0
INNER JOIN OITM T1 ON T0.CardCode = T1.CardCode
Where T0.CardCode = $[OITM.ItemCode]
What do you do :
First select T0.CardName...from the Table OCRD with a inner join of OITM (that means you request each
record from OITM where the CardCode from OCRD is equal to the CardCode from OITM). Ok thats wrong,
cause you got a CardCode in OCRD, but in OITM is not a CardCode, cause it is the item table.
Your where clause did not match at all. You want to fetch records where a CardCode is equal to a ItemCode.
Ok lets see what do you need :
You want to select a CardName from the OCRD into a line of your quotation. Therefor are 2 possibilities :
1.If your quotation is already saved:
SELECT T0.CardName FROM OCRD TO, QUT1 T1 WHERE T0.CardCode = T1.BaseCard
2.If you creates a new quotation:
SELECT T0.CardName FROM OCRD T0 FROM T0.CardCode = $[$4.0.0]
or this works too
SELECT $[$54.0.0]

Internal error while using Formatted Search

Hi
I am adding Assessable value in total amount at row level of sales document. For achieving so im using Shift +F2 on total amount field, which results in sum of assessable value and total amount. It is working properly in some of documents but throws message of internal error in some of the documents.
Im not able to understand that why error is coming in some of the documents?
Suggest me..
Thanks

1. Have the screen open where you have the Shift F2, you can manually run the query of the formatted search, it will sometimes give you more meaningful message.
Eg:
You have a formatted search query 'Query 1' which is saved in Tools> User Query> Query 1 attached to field DocTotal.
So, what you do is, instead of pressing Shift F2, you go to tools > User Query.> Query 1 to run it.
2. Another thing could be the field you used in the formula do not have the focus when you run it.
Eg: you use $[4.0.0] in the query.
When you press Shift F2, the field represents $[$4.0.0] do not have focus.

Formatted Search query for Vacation Accrued

Hi Experts,
I have a Client who needs to keep tract on the Vacation Accrued on the Employee Master Data. I have created this UDF on the Master Data, but I could not get the query for the Formatted Search right.
This Formatted search on the UDF ( must look at the OHEM.startDate field and populate the following:
If it is a still within year of the system date, it must populate 0,
If it is > 1 year and < 3 years, it must populate 5,
etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Marli

Hi Experts,
Here is what I did for the query mentioned above:
{SELECT
CASE
           WHEN (T0.startDate > GETDATE() -356)
                   THEN 0
           WHEN (T0.startDate > GETDATE() - 712)
                   THEN 5
END
As 'Vacation Accrued'
FROM OHEM T0}
The issue is that if I link this query to the UDF on the EMD, I get a list of 0 and 5 to choose from. I need to populate automatically.
Thanks.

Formatted Search - Using field index to refer to UDF in many documents

I have some UDFs in my marketing documents - say U_VALUE
I want to write a fairly complicated formatted search and use it for the same thing across all my marketing documents.
I don't want to use
$[ORDR.U_VALUE]
in my formatted search as this will only work in the sales order document.
I want to use something like
$[$4.0.0]
which brings back the cardcode independant of the form we are looking at. However
$[$U_VALUE.0.0]
will not work!
Hoping someone can help!
Edited by: Daniel Abbatt on Apr 10, 2008 6:16 PM

Yes you would have to have a UDF called VALUE on the marketing document for this example to run and even then it will error!
That's the point, the code above will not work, SBO only seems to be able to know about ORDR in a sales order and OINV in an invoice. So if I am in a sales order, it errors on the reference to OINV, even though the code that uses the
$[OINV.U_VALUE]
is never actually accessed by the SQL. I guess this is because SBO does the substitutions before it executes the code.
All I am basically trying to do is create a generic formatted search that will perform an action using the value of a UDF, say some formatting, the problem is I want it to work with any marketing document.
The only way I can find to access a UDF though is by having to use the
$[TABLE.U_FIELDNAME]
way, which seems to mean by definition I can only create a formatted search to access a header UDF for a single type of document. I cannot create a generic formatted search, that reverses the string for example, and use that formatted search across all marketing documents.
I know you can access normal fields also by their item reference, i.e.
$[$4.0.0]
, but this syntax does not seem to work with UDF, even though the system information shows the item reference as U_VALUE, I cannot use the
$[$U_VALUE.0.0]
which would be ideal...

Formatted Search with multiple conditions

Hi experts,
I am using a formatted search to update the Unit price in Sales Order. Query mentioned below.

But while adding Item on Sales Order, it is showing error, Incorrect Syntax near '$[$38.2000002049.0]'.
Note: I have added an UDF named U_LOCATION( Alphanumeric, 10) in OPLN and selecting location in Price List through another FMS which is working perfectly.
Please help in this regards.
Thanks in Advance.
Nabyendu

Hi Nabyendu Saha..
You said the u_location as alphanumeric the why you have given 0 for the field type in the FMS...
Select      T0.ItemCode,
               T0.ItemPrice,
From        ITM1 T0 inner join OPLN T1 on T0.PriceList = T1.ListNum
Where      T0.ItemCode = '[$38.1.0]'
     and     T1.u_location = '$[$38.2000002049]'
or
Select      T0.ItemCode,
               T0.ItemPrice,
From        ITM1 T0 inner join OPLN T1 on T0.PriceList = T1.ListNum
Where      T0.ItemCode = [$38.1.0]
     and     T1.u_location = $[ordr.u_location]
Try the above , hope helpful

Dynamic SQL an Form values in formatted Search

Hi all,
Can I create Dynamically the where clause of a query (for a Formatted Search) finding that into a UDF of another table, and then store all in a Varchar(300) variable and use that variable as parameter of an EXEC?
Sorry for my bad explanation, it takes less time attach the query ...
so here it is:
declare @pol as varchar(8)
set @pol = $[ORDR.U_PolProj]
declare @internal_q NVARCHAR(300)
select @internal_q = T0.U_CondPol
from [@PRG_CEN_POL_PROJ] T0
where Code = @pol
declare @itcode as varchar(100)
set @itcode = $[RDR1.ItemCode]
declare @sql NVARCHAR(300)
select @sql = 'select result = count(ItemCode)
from OITM T0
where T0.ItemCode = ''' + @itcode +
''' and ' + @internal_q
exec(@sql)
Could someone tell me what's wrong with this formatted search?

resolved!!! It works
