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 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!
HTH,
Frank

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

Rounding up values in Print Layout Designer

The customer has a database field in print layout designer and this is bringing back a value such as 0.25. They would like to create another field which shows this value rounded up to the nearest whole number, ie in the case of 0.25 they would like to see 1.
They have created a formulae field and used the round function, however this rounds the value down to the nearest whole number as per the general rounding rule i.e. round it down if it is below .5 and up to the nearest whole number when it is above .5
Is there anyway to achieve this using Print Layout Designer in SAP Business One 2007 A?

Hi Samantha,
Apologies for the delay.
Yes, its possible to do this. Firstly, you will need to use the fields from my earlier post. However you will also need to add some more formula fields
The first formula field will work out what the numbers are to the right of the decimal point:
DecimalRight(Field_101)
Field_101 in your case will be the field ID for the quantity field and the field ID for the above formula field will be Field_102.
The second formula field will work out if the quantity is a whole number, here the field id will be Field_103:
Field_102==' '
The third formula field will work out if the quantity is not a whole number, here the field id will be Field_104:
Field_102!=' '
You can now use the Link To functionality to link the original quantity rounded field to Field_103 and you can link the quantity plus 0.5 rounded field to Field_104.
Kind regards,
Adrian

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.

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
