SUbinventory On Pick List report (Urgent)

On Pickslip .rtf If I Group the line items with Pickslip number the Subinventroy field is not displaying the output. If I group with subinventory then only one line item is printing when it has multiple lines.

Hi
If some data is not appearing within the loop, then possible reason could be that the data field mentioned must be out of your group. What I mean is:
In the scenario like:
<data1>
<group1>
<data2>
<data3>
<end group1>
Here, if you are using for-each on group1, then you can not reference data1, since data1 is outside this loop. If you try using this element, nothing would appear in o/p. Instead what you can do is, refer to this element with some dots ( moving up in heirarchy) like in lace of "<?data1?>", write "<?../data1?>".
With this method, you can refer to data at higher levels.
Hope it helps.

Sales Order and Pick List reports will not attach to Email message

My client wants to email both the Sales Order and Pick List that is created from the Sales Order in the same email message. It appears that SAP B1 will not do this. Is this a bug or just the way B1 works. My client is running version 8.8 PL 19. Thank you for your help.
Bill Turek

Hi Bill,
Pick List is associated with delivery, not sales order. If you need Pick List be emailed, you have to email delivery.
Thanks,

Pick List Will Not Print On Add with SAP B1 2007A

There appears to be a bug with printing pick lists on Add with SAP B1 2007A. I have replicated the problem with PL03, 06 and 08.
Pick lists will print manually, but if you have them setup to print on add (Administration->System Initialization->Print Preferences), the following error in the log will appear:
Error Default report not found for current report type; set a default report and try again C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\SAP Business One.exe PID=6104 TID=1672
I ran a SQL trace and found the problem. The default Pick List report is set and set correctly in tables RTYP and RDOC. The problem is that SAP is looking for a RTYP.CODE value of PKL1 (instead of RLR2). PKL1 does not exist as a code in either 2005 or 2007. The Pick List document ID is RLR20001.
To confirm this on my demo database, I updated RTYP and set the CODE of RLR2 to PKL1. Afterwards, when adding a Pick List, it printed without any errors. I suppose another temporary fix would be to add a new record to the RTYP tabe with a CODE of PKL1 and the default pick list report document ID.

After many hours of inquiring, searching and digging... There is an obscur SAP Note that says clearly, NOT SUPPORTED.
Best thing I could do, was to keep a server with the same configuration ready to connect to my SAN and take over from the dead server.
So for anyone interested in this topic. Save you time, search the SAP Notes for Support and high availability.
Hope that helps others.

May I show multiselect pick list selected values in a report

Is there a work around?

Need solution for dynamic pick lists in Crystal Reports

Does anyone have a good solution for creating a dynamic pick list for a Crystal Report that is based off of a BW Query without having to use a BW user input variable? In many cases it is not practical to use a BW variable to generate a dynamic pick list due to the high number of possible member values and the highly dynamic nature of the particular characteristic (customers, materials, etc.). In my understanding the LOV Server is not an option when dealing with SAP BW. Anyone else running into this issue with Crystal and SAP BW?

Hi Mike,
we once solved this by creating LOVs in BusinessView Manager. I am not sure if you can use the BW Publisher in this scenario as we did not use it. We published the reports directly to the BOE server for some reasons.
Creating a LOV in BusinessView manager is really easy. You can create cascading prompts, shedule refreshing of the lists, ...
By using the cascading prompt feature you can make prompts like this:
First enter the customer number (or pick it from a list) and then the second list, which holds the materials only has shows the ones which had been purchased by that customer. I think this is what you are looking for.
You should give it a try!

Crystal Report Pick List - "Table ADM1 could not be found" Error

Hi,
When preview is select in sales order, we select pick list gets error.
Crystal Report Window Forms Viewer:
"Table ADM1 could not be found"
Error in File Temp { .........} .rpt
The table could not be found"
If I login remotely , then log into SAP as this user I do not get an error.
I have given user full authorisation.
I have run Verify Database.
I am assuming it is some database or network user access rights.
Could anyone help on this?
Kind Regards,
Eric

Report was developed and tested against a 'test' database and then imported into a 'production' database.
Problem appears to be that when B1 connects it does not reset the login credentials for the unlinked tables such as ADM1 and OADM.
Performing the following steps appears to solve the problem. Not sure how many of them are really necessary.
1. Develop and test against the test system as before.
2. Save as a .rpt file outside B1.
3. 'Set Datasource Location' to the appropriate B1 datasource for the production database and individually link every table as well as the data source.
4. Save the .rpt file again.
5. Import into the production database.
This does not specifically address the issue where it worked when logged in to the server but not remotely. Perhaps when logged in remotely the test database was not visible but when logged in locally it was.

Help on Picking list (T Code - CO27)... VERY URGENT

Hi all, anyone in here who has sound knowledge on picking list, if so kindly help me with this, its very urgent.
Scenario:
For an item in the Production order, the picking list is showing open qty = 0 & shortage = 0, while the item has already been picked. I am not able to understand why this line is still existing even after the pick.

Vivek,
I assume that you are looking at the materail document which was created for GI and communicating that indicator is set, you looked at the right place.
But the resolution now is set this indicator directly in the order "Component overview" screen. You can see this indicator on the right side of the component record.
Hope this helps....

Error in Picking List (T-Code - CO27) - Urgent help pls

Hi all,
Situation-
   A work order has been released & the item for it has been made available using the picking list (CO27). However when i check the picking list again, the same item is still showing, but the Open Qty & Shortage fields show 0. I am not able to figure out how the item is still seen despite me picking it.
   When i select the line & click status, in the Business Processes tab, Release Component has a red indicator & says Error - BS 013 (System status REL is active), is this causing the problem & if yes how can i rectify it.
   Solutions please......

Hi Aaron,
Apologies for the delayed reply. I would like to inform you i am not a ABAPer so i dont know if what i did would be of benefit to you. But what actually had happened was the FI indicator was not ticked in the order & this was causing that error. This indicator i got to know is ticked automatically when the issual is done, but due to certain circumstances it might not be ticked, this happens due to some manual intervention is what i was made understood. I hope this was of some help to you. But i would say, it is better that u open a new thread & ask the experts for their view-point.
Regards,
Vivek

Create Pick List - Urgent

How does one create a pick list with DI API? Please let me know if it is possible.
Thanks a lot!

Did you get an answer to your question?
I also need to automate this process and create/update Pick Lists with the DI API, instead of my customer having to do it manually in SBO using the Pick and Pack Manager.
If it is not possible with the current version of the DI API, then I would like to know when it will be implemented.
Best regards,

Thanks in advance..

BW Hierarchies sometimes not showing as pick list

Hi,
we have created a Crystal Report that uses a parameter that should be picked from a BW hierarchy (a cost center group). We created the report and published it via the BW publisher to BO and then included it with an iView in the BW Portal.
Now when I log on to the portal and call the report, I'm presented with the static pick list (top 200 values) most of the time instead of the hierarchy view (as described in http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsandBWquery+elements in the lower part of the article)
When I then log on to the CMC and call the report there, I first get the flat list, too, but when I call the report 2 or 3 times, I get the hierarchy view. When I now go back to the BW Portal, I get thet hierarchy view there as well...
any idea what causes this issue? How can I influence which selection screen is being displayed? (particularly as I don't want everyone to have to log on to CMC first...)
Thanks...

Hi Duncan,
thank you for your reply. It's really sort of tricky.
After the pick list is up and ready once, It'll be shown fine from that point on until, I assume, my CMC login expires.
So maybe it's some permission problem?
I just tested the following:
<ul>
<li>log into portal, call report -> flat list
<li>log into CMC -> call report (does not have to be the same, just has to have a hierarchy pick list, a simple report does not do the trick) -> check that it has the hierarchy pick list
<li>go back to the portal, call the report again -> hierarchy pick list comes up ok
<li>log off from CMC
<li>go back to the portal, call the report again -> flat list again...
</ul>
the whole thing works the same when I replace CMC by InfoView. The strange thing is that I have to log in to Infoview the first time I call the report from the portal (even though we have SAP credentials in BO), but this does not seem to be sufficient. I have to call one of the reports in Infoview or CMC first to make it work from the portal.
Concerning the trace, I'll have to look into this together with our sysadmins, but I'll see what I can get.
Thanks again for your ideas,
cheers

Crystal Parameter Hierarchy Pick List not showing in Infoview

Hello,
We are having an issue with crystal reports not showing the hierarchy pick list in infoview.
We have 3 environments, Dev, QA, Prod.
Business Objects environments consist of 3 separate servers
Dev
Windows Server 2003 64bit
BOXI 3.1 with Service Pack 2
Integration Kit 3.1 with SP2
Crystal Reports V1 SP2
QA
Windows Server 2003 64bit
BOXI 3.1 with Service Pack 2
Integration Kit 3.1 with SP2
Crystal Reports V1 SP2
Prod
Windows Server 2003 64bit
BOXI 3.1 with Service Pack 2
Integration Kit 3.1 with SP2
Crystal Reports V1 SP2
SAP BW Environments consist of 2 server landscapes, with DEV / QA sitting on 1 and production on its own.
ServerA
Dev and QA
ServerB
Prod
We create a crystal report in Dev BOBJ, and publish to DEV SAP BW system sitting on ServerA.
The picklist shows hierarchy properly in Dev Infoview.
We then LCM the report to QA BOBJ, and Do Not publish to QA SAP BW system sitting on ServerA.
We transport the role that the report was published to, from Dev SAP BW to QA SAP BW
The picklist shows hierarchy properly in QA Infoview.
We then LCM the report to PROD BOBJ, and Do Not publish to PROD SAP BW system sitting on ServerB.
We transport the role from QA SAP BW to Prod SAP BW
The picklist does NOT show hierarchy properly in Prod Infoview.
We are a bit confused on why the picklist works properly on QA Infoview without publishing, but will not work on Production Infoview.
Is it because the repository objects for the picklist contain some server paths? (Since DEV and QA sit on the same server "ServerA")
Do we need to publish in production SAP BW for the hierarchy pick list to function?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!
Nick

Hi Nick,
Did you get this resolved? We are encountering the same issue. We have migrated our report from QA to Prod using BW Transport and then used BW Publisher to publish to BOE. The parameter list shows in InfoView for Dev and QA, but not Prod.
We're using BOE SP2 FP 2.8

Cascading Pick List with date range as first, second pick list is dynamic

Specifically, how is this accomplished?
It does not seem possible to make first pick list static. If allowed this would be perfect.
The system seems to only allow the first parameter to be dynamic if the second parameter is dynamic. No range seems to be available for date when second parameter is dynamic.

Consider a 3rd-party tool as a solution (for a list of such tools, see http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html).
There is at least one Crystal report viewer with its own special implementation of dynamic & cascading parameters. It would allow you to use any type of parameter within the cascade. However, you will need to create a separate rpt to implement each dynamic parameter. So in your case, you will have one main report, using a dynamic parameter that's implemented as a separate rpt, which has a date range parameter.

Infoview pick list values and CR parameter values are not the same

Hello All
We have created created Crystal Reports based upon BW Query using Static Parameters as recomended by SAP. When we run the query in InfoView the Pick List is dynamically updated and returns the correct data for selection. When The Crystal Report opens and you wish to navigate through the report using the parameter selection the selection criteria has not been maintained by BW and does not match the Pick List.
Can you please advise if there is any way to make this work?
We ar using Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.3.1.684
on BOBJ XI 3.1
Any help would be appreciated,
Phillip

Hello Ingo
What is strange that in InfoView the pick list is only dynamic the Parameters when the document is open (in InfoView) are not dynamic. An example would be Searching on Material. In Info view the pick list provides all the materials to select from. Once though the report is open the parameter list on the left hand side could be seen as blank as it refers to the static list that is not manually maintained within Crystal Reports or provide a list of details that has no reference to the dynamic selection as returned from BW as it is a static list that was loaded with Crystal Reports Designer on creation.
What we are wanting to achieve is that Info View Pick List is Dynamic and the Parameter list that can be used to navigate within the document once opened is dynamically refreshed to be the same as the Pick List provided by BW and InfoView.
Is this possible?
With CR Designer if we use Do Not Show, Info View no longer provides this parameter on the left hand side.
If we use Editable the list provided in InfoView is equal to the static list as maintained within CR Designer.
We have not tested Read Only Yet so I am not sure if this could be the solution or not.
Any ideas would be of great benefit
Phillip
