Trigger execution of a CR report from SAP BW Process chain

Hi,
we want to trigger execution of a Crystal Report from a BW process chain.
What is the best way to do this?
Our CR reports are not saved to BW.
We are currently investigation the option of using a file event on the BO server and using an ABAP program step in the process chain to create the file using FTP. But we want to know if there is an easier way of doing this?
Thanks and regards
Jarle

Hello Nathan,
your solution with the FTP script and a file being moved to the BO server sounds very interesting!
Actually that's what I would need to implement in my project.
Would it be possible for you to give me some information on how to write such a script and how to call it from the Process Chain? Any hint would be really precious!
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Hubert

AP aging report from SAP

We found that AP aging report from SAP is not tie with Balance in Balance sheet. Please advise how to find the report which match with our requirement.
Concept of the AP aging report is to age outstanding AP as at the end of month (Open item date). We found that A/P aging report which we currently use is cannot match to balance per G/L. (Please see detail in attached file). And the balance in AP aging report is always changes if we retrieve data on difference timing.
Additionally, this report is not show the reconciliation account, please advise whether it is possible to show summary line which sum by reconciliation account.
Please advise if you have another SAP transaction or any advise on this.
kindly suggest

Hi,
For ageing report please go to fbl3n and go for change layout there is a option for ageing and posting period choose those two and subtotal it according to posting then you will get period wise meand month wise ageing report for vendor.

Data missing while running a crystal report from SAP B1 2007A

Dear All,
I am facing an issue that is if i run a report from SAP B1 using Crystal reports AddOn, it misses out some data.
Few Initial pages and a last page appears in the report. But when i run the same report using Crystal reports Designer it shows the actual number of pages. I have tested the above discussed issue on the server & workstation machines.

Dear All,
I would like to explain the above posted problem in detail. I need your generous help, I am facing an issue that is for Crystal Reports which are based on 'Financial Templates' data is missing out. For Example, If i run the report using 'Crystal Reports Designer' it is showing the whole Financial Template based on 5 pages, but if I try to run it from 'SAP Business One'
using 'Crystal Reports AddOn' it is missing out the data e.g. it is showing Page 1 and then Page 4 & 5.
Page No. 2 & 3 is missed out. For your information it was running fine from the past two months now I am
facing issues in running it. Rest of the reports are running fine.
I have tried reinstalling the Crystal Reports Runtime and Crystal Reports AddOn for SAP B1 on
Client machines, but the problem is not resolved yet.

Issue running a report from SAP Business One

I have an issue running a particular report from SAP Business One. I am using Crystal Reports Add-On, all of the reports are working fine except one. When accessing the last page of the report or any page from inside the report the followiong error appears in the dialog box:
Error in the File CollectionDate_Branch_wise {609BA059-89AF-41E9-9AEB-28CB16D13852}.rpt:
The request could not be submitted for background processing.

Hi,
Do you mean you have a Main report that is written based on SQL Command and there are 8 subreports linked to the main report?
If that is the case, I assume when user select 'Document Type" eg invoice, it will pass that to the subreport and retrieve information?
This is how I will approach it.
1. Make sure the connection is consistent, if you are using ODBC(RDO) then make sure that is the same for main and subreport. You can check that in Set database connection. Right click on the connection, look at the Properties. Don't assume that the name is the same, eg: SBO_DemoUS, they are all ODBC(RDO) for instannce.
In Crystal, when you are using different connection, it will just prompts you a warning message and it will still run.
2. Delete all and only keep one subreport, example AR invoice and see it will still give a problem.
Replace the parameter with a set value in Record selection in subreport and see what happen.

Problem opening Crystal Report from SAP GUI through VPN

Hi Everyone,
I am facing an issue with opening the crystal report from SAP BW Role menu(SAP GUI). The issue is only with the BW Users who are connecting to the Client systems through VPN. All the settings are done perfectly in the Transaction /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN and SICF for the CE_URL.
For those who are in the client network it works fine. Please see the URLs generated in both the cases,below.
From Client N/W
[http://sapbobj:8080/SAP/jsp/Action_Dispatch/dispatch.jsp?sap_client=100&cmsname=sapbobj:6400&language=EN&sap_sysid=D40&bw_id=4HUFYJ3XBZ7QLP5HIDYPR7PR6&sap-client=100&actionName=SAP_CrystalReport_View&appKind=InfoView&service=%2FInfoViewApp%2Fcommon%2FappService.do&loc=&initialFolderId=null]
Through VPN

where "sapbobj" is the BOBJ system and "sapbwd" is the SAP BW Dev box.
For me it seems to be something related to the N/W. Please provide me your valuable inputs to solve this issue.
Thanks in Advance,

Something from the database because I have a report that for some reason has more than 2 million iterations trying to run and is making my server to crash and preventing that other scheduled reports to run.

Following is an excerpt from the above KBA Janos mentioned.
Important Note: It is strongly recommended to take backup of your CMS database and Filestore before performing the steps mentioned below.
1.Navigate to http://<appservername>:8080/AdminTools
2.Login with administrator account.
3.Use this query to find number of pending instances (Name and ID of instance) in your environment:
4.SELECT SI_NAME, SI_ID FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS=9
5.Connect to the CMS System Database with the proprietary database client (e.g., SQL Plus for Oracle).
6.Execute the SQL statement to delete all pending instances in your environment.
For SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1
DELETE FROM CMS_INFOOBJECTS6 WHERE SCHEDULESTATUS=9
For SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.0
DELETE FROM CMS_INFOOBJECTS7 WHERE SCHEDULESTATUS=9

Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format

Hi All,
Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format. I'm currently running the following report in SAP and would like the
ability to set this report up as a recurring report running weekly and
subsequently access this report in a useable Excel 2010 format without
much data manipulation. Can you please assist me. Below, I've tried to
provide an example of what I'm encountering. Thanks, beforehand for
your assistance.
Here goes:
Step one: Run 62 Report in SAP S_P99_41000062- Material List Price and
Inventory
Step 2. Select stored Variant "Weekly KPI", ok. Enter the enter the
desired company code and period I want thre report to run for and update
the currency, if necessary. Having input my desired criteria, I believe
I can either execute immediately, run in the background, preset to run
at date in the future. For this example let's just execute, immediately.
This is where the difference originates. Given, I run this report
immediately, I'm able to simply extract the result to Excel via the list
selection noted in the tool bar below. The result is a data friendly
excel 2007 report is automatically generated.
Export to Excel via list:
Select save and Excel 2007 opens automatically:
That said, the method outlined above works perfectly fine if you want
the report immediately. Now let go back and run the exact same report
with exceptoin of running it in the background and having to retrieve it
from the Spool (SP01) uisng my user ID. Given the report generated in
the background, I would now access the report via the spool and make
the following selections:
SP01 + execute to see my report
I would hit the sunglasses to see the actual report, then want to
extract this report to Excel by selecting the export option.
I would at this point select spreadsheet and be given an option to save
the spreadsheet to local file. However, upon trying to open the
spreadsheet I will receive an error messageindicating that the format is
different than that which the file I am currently trying to open it
with. I'm currently running Excel 2010 on my computer. The currency
format and other issues arrise with this extract. Please help.
Thanks,
Chowadary.

Update to Latest GUI.
Use List -> Export -> Spreadsheet to get the output to excel.
I remember in ALV max length allowed is 1023 characters and the max no of columns supported is 90. Issue occurs when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character. (This includes if Long/Medium Header Text used ) If it exceed 1023 character the columns splits and moves to next row.
Check your fieldcatog for header lengths.

How to generate Top sales report from SAP data ?

Hello experts,
I am completely a newbie to SAP BO , can any one guide me how to generate TOP sales of the year report from SAP data ?

Hi David,
First Let me know the Source & Tools to involve.
Let me go with the generic approach:
If the source is BW, then you can create the logic in query designer designer and then you can incorporate the data into the dashboard or webi or crystal report whatever its.
If the source is sql or anyother DB then it can also be achievable in crystal or webi to write the logic in top 10 values by ranking then you can incorporate the data into the dashboard, but here you can limit the top or bottom values.
Hope this helps, please revert for more clarifications on this.
