Can i copy udf's from one company to another through COPY EXPRESS

Hi Experts ,
I have to copy my Item Master's UDF's data from one company to another company through Copy Express. The Item Codes are same . But it's not working
Need Solution.

Reading Numeric UDF null value in DI

We have a UDF of Numeric(4) that can be NULL, 0, 1, 2, etc. We try to read it from DI, and if it is NULL, then set the result to be -1 (the default value we difined), so we can differentiate NULL and 0.
The C# code we have look like this:
int LineNumber = -1;
SAPbobsCOM.Company oCompany;
// Code to get Company
SAPbobsCOM.Documents oDoc = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oQuotations);
oDoc.GetByKey(100); // Get the document by DocEntry
LineNumber = (int)oDoc.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_XX_LN").Value;
The problem is LineNumber gets 0 even if in the database U_XX_LN is NULL. We tried the code below and got the same result because oDoc.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_XX_LN").Value.ToString() always return '0' if it is NULL.
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(oDoc.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_XX_LN").Value.ToString()))
LineNumber = -1;
else
LineNumber = (int)oDoc.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_XX_LN").Value;
The question is: how can we set it to default -1 if in the database the value is NULL?
Thank you,
Grace

Hi Grace,
Unfortunately the DI API automatically converts database null values to a default value for the datatype (eg null for numeric becomes 0 and null for strings is an empty string). If you want to differentiate between null and zero you will need to query the table using the isnull command rather than reading the table through the UserTables object:
oRecordSet.DoQuery("select isnull(U_XX_LN, -1) as U_XX_LN from [@MYTABLE] where Code = 'MYCODE')
This will convert the null value to a -1 in the recordset so you can tell the difference between nulls and zeros.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Slow performance creating UDT/UDF

When creating UDT/UDF via SAPbobsCOM.UserTableMD and SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldMD OR via SAPbobsCOM.Company.GetBusinessObjectFromXML(...) we experience extreme slow performance. One field of a table takes at least a second to be created.
We already checked the DB/Server, no problems there (in fact, it does not even show up as laggy.
Any hints? Is there so much data to be transported from client to server or what might be wrong?
Krischan

My setup takes between 8 and 15 seconds to create 65 user defined fields and one user defined table.
As I am able to watch the progress, I experience that creating user defined fields for documents is much slower than creating a user defined field for a user defined table.
Personally I think it's because every time a document udf is created, every document table is altered by mssql (the udfs are physically added to every table).
At least it don't take a whole second per table, which definitly sounds like "too much" to me...

Error while trying to create a new company

Hey All
I found an error while trying to create a new company.
the Error like - No matching Records Found - [ODBC -2028]
This can generate only database but not any tables in that database.
Please help me.
Thanking you
Hepil Doshi

Hello,
I would prefer local language instead of US english.....
My tips.
1. DID you tried to Not apply the UDO/UDF things?
2. Do not log in to the database, start from
3. Please post the error message itself....
4. If you are running on MS SQL 2005 server (not express) , You can start SQL profiler, and monitor the New Database creation.... you will see in profielr where is the error message and which tables / data is missing.
If i know well,
When you create a new company, the SBO-COMMON database is used to deploy the new database....
If you get stock, reinstall your sbo-common from the last applyied patch..... (Detach SBO-common, move the files another directory, and start upgarder.exe).

FMS for Udf based on Posting Date + 4 weeks and +4 weeks excluding weekends

Hello,
Requirement 1
Have made a udf in the Sales Order Header as Manfacture Drawing Rel Date U_FDRDT in which I want that if a Sales Order posting date is 15/12/2010 then this udf should automatically update with the + 4 weeks date i.e 14/01/2011
Requirement 2
Another UDF is also made as U_FRDWDT in which I want that if the Sales Order posting date is 15/12/2010 then this udf should automatically update + 4 weeks EXCLUDING Fridays and Saturdays which is there in the 4 weeks hence the result should be e.g 27/01/2010 which is excluding Fridays and Saturdays.The requirement is as such that Friday and Saturday are holidays for the company and the client wants to have this field updated on + 4 weeks basis but it should not consider Friday and Saturday as its holiday.
Also note in SAP base setup Holiday Master Weekend is set from Friday to Saturday. Will this help in any way of updating the field or through formated search.
Kindly advise what best solution can be given
Regards,
Soni

Hi,
One question per thread. This is forum rule.
Here is FMS for the 1st one:
SELECT DateAdd(WW,4,$[ORDR.DocDate\])
Please post another for the 2nd.

UDF 2.5 support

Does Leopard support UDF 2.5?

I don't know if it does, but the company that has made UDF support on the Mac through its own software I'm sure would know the answer to that question, as this software offers better UDF support than has been made available through Macs in the past:

Udf FMS date update excluding Weekend

Hello friends,
Have made a udf in the Sales Order Header as Final Approval Drawing Req Date U_FAADT in which I want that if a Sales Order posting date is 14/12/2010 then this udf should automatically update with the next day date i.e 15/12/2010 but if the next day is Friday or Saturday then the date should come for Sunday.
The requirement is as such that Friday and Saturday are holidays for the company and the client wants to have this field updated on 24 hours basis but it should not consider Friday and Saturday as its holiday. Also note in SAP base setup Holiday Master Weekend is set from Friday to Saturday. Will this help in any way of updating the field or through formated search.
Kindly advise what best solution can be given
Regards,

Hi Soli,
Try this:
SELECT
CASE WHEN DatePart(DW,$[ORDR.DocDate.Date])=5
THEN DateAdd(DD, 3, $[ORDR.DocDate.Date])
WHEN DatePart(DW,$[ORDR.DocDate.Date])=6
THEN DateAdd(DD, 2, $[ORDR.DocDate.Date])
ELSE
DateAdd(DD, 1, $[ORDR.DocDate.Date])
END

UDF of Nvarchar(Max) type

Hi All,
Whenever some User Defined Fields is created in 2007, the underlying field is always of NVARCHAR(MAX) type. This is posing problem when creating a report on the basis of such fields in Crystal, since it does not allow to use such fields for creating links.
How to avoid this problem? It is ok to change the structure using query directly for user defined tables. Since I don't think it would require any changes in the way B1 stores the udf information.
Regards,
Rahul Jain

In my company we use this workaround:
For each table you want to link in crystal report, create a Table Key in Sap Business One as :
- Tool -> Customization Tools -> User-Defined Fields -Management
- Select the table name used in report
- Press 'Keys' Button
- Create the key selecting the fields you want to change in nvarchar(length)

API call to update a UDF of Organization fails

I am using the 11g APIs to create a new organization. I have define a new UDF "DisplayName" in Design Console for the organization and I am trying to pass a value to it from the API. The code is the following:
Organization org = new Organization();
org.setAttribute("Organization Name", "My Org Code");
org.setAttribute("Organization Customer Type", "Company");
org.setAttribute("DisplayName", "My Org Name");
orgMgr = Platform.getService(OrganizationManager.class);
orgMgr.create(org);
The API throws an exception:
Caused by: oracle.iam.platform.entitymgr.UnknownAttributeException: Organization : [DisplayName]
Does anyone know how can I pass a value to a UDF of Organizations from API?
Thanks in advance

I know i'm replying to an old thread, but I was having the same issue and have found the solution. Next to adding the user defined fields in the design console, you also need to add them to db/identity/entity-definition/Organization.xml using the MDS. When done both you can create through 11g api (and also recon will work which was the problem I was having)

Alert On UDF's when Duplicate value exists

Hi Experts,
I want an Alerts message on a UDF's Gate Entry Pass (G.E. No), when any duplicate value is entered in this UDF's.
e.g.:- a value is entered in this udf is 30. when same value is entered it should give an alert that value already exists.
Thanks & Regards,
Pankaj Sharma.

Hi Gordon,
I am using this UDF's on the GRPO Form and the UDF's name is U_GE_NO(Gate Entry No). my client uses this field when the material entered the company premises and entered the unique value. so to remove duplicacy in data the want the alert.

Problem accessing Document object UDF

Hey All,
I am trying to build a custom application for a company that us using SBO patch level 21. Unfortunately they cannot upgrade to a newer patch level at this time.
I use the following code to check the existence of a UDF field:
if(myDocument.Lines.UserFields.Fields.Item(udfField) != null)
{                                   myDocument.Lines.UserFields.Fields.Item(udfField).Value = udfVal;
For some reason the DI API throws an exception to say it cannot find the UDF. Even though it exists in the database. I have tried a number of UDFs all of which exist and they all throw the exception.
Any ideas?

Lita,
I wasn't lucky as you!
I even tried to access to the user field by index but I always get a COM exception: FFFFFBAF
Here's the code still not working properly:
SAPbobsCOM.Documents d = (SAPbobsCOM.Documents) B1Company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oPurchaseOrders); // Same problem on other documents...
                    SAPbobsCOM.Document_Lines dl = d.Lines;
                    dl.SetCurrentLine(0);
                    try
                        int n = d.UserFields.Fields.Count;
                        string fld = dl.UserFields.Fields.Item(0).Description;
                        //int j = dl.UserFields.Fields.Count;
                    catch (System.Exception e)
                        B1App.MessageBox(e.Message, 0, "OK", "", "");
This problem is a nightmare because we have severals customer add-ons based on document lines user fields!!!

What is an UDF and UDT

Hi everyone,
we are using SAP Business one 2007 A and I would like to know what are User Defined Fields and User Defined Tables? What are the uses of both and what do they do? Please explain how to create a UDF and a UDT? Thank you.

>What kind of customization can be done with the help of UDF and UDT. If I set up a UDF and UDT in my workstation, will it >be shared by everyone or only I can use those UDF and UDT?
The authorization is controlled in SAP B1 through Setup->User defaults and Admin->User Authorizations panel. The authorizations are based on what you provide above to marketing documents, production documents, service documents etc.
UDF is just part of above SAP B1 authorization control. You can not control authroization for just UDF you created. It is based upon what user, what authorization it has.
>For example: If I am seeing an AP invoice list, can I add a field to show the check number with which the invoice was paid? Why I am asking this because we have an AP person in our company and whenever a vendor calls, she has to browse through 5-6 screens to get to that payment information and the check number does not show up when she pulls up the invoice list.
>Yes above is possible. And these are the real world examples of why UDFs are used. The queries you use to populate them can get tricky, there are highly talented and able people on forum who can help you out with those. But you have to get started somewhere.
>With the help of UDF, can I pull any information anywhere? How does this work? Where can set the UDF and UDT meaning in what areas? Can it be set only in master data?
There are limitation to UDF, you can not pull anything everywhere or anywhere. That level of visibility will require SDK development. You just have to try and learn about the scope. I am not sure about it.
When you go tools->Customization tools->User defined field management, you will see the areas and sub levels you can use.
The rule of the forums is one question per thread. It helps if you can adhere to that. Also, please close the thread, if it is answered. Welcome again!

Script to update UDF in document to journal entries

Hi,
Customer is using 2007A PL30. In SAP B1, there is only 2 global analysis codes(ie Project and Profit Center) but customer has more information to analyse. We add UDF in document row(eg UDF=Customer)but after adding such UDF did not automatically flow to journal entries.
May I know how to update those additional UDF in document row into journal entries as well so that the "Financial people" will be able to analyse company position by pulling these information in journal entries rather than from AR, AP, Incoming & outgoing payment etc?
Regards
Thomas

Thomas,
Out of the box the system is designed to take User field defined in the marketing document from the base marketing document to the target document when you use a Copy from or Copy to function.
This will not work for JE's as JE is not a marketing document. Updating JE through Transaction Notification might be possible but it is not supported by SAP as it is in violation of their Support agreement.
Leaving the choice finally to create a SDK solution

Choosfromlist in UDF fields

Hi All,
I have added some User Defined Fields to Sales Order window. Can I place a choose fromlist in one of these UDF fields. If can, please give the code.

Hi Jisha,
Vasu is right, but you can update the Sales Orders form with a new tab that contains your user fields. And in these fields you can add the CFL has you would do in a standard user form (you can even add the CFL in the XML form).
Example of the user form:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?>
<Application>
     <forms>
          <action type="update">
               <form FormType="139" uid="">

                         <action type="add">
                              <item uid="_Family01" type="8" left="25" tab_order="0" width="80" top="160" height="14" visible="1" enabled="1" from_pane="99" to_pane="99" disp_desc="0" right_just="0" description="" linkto="Family01" forecolor="-1" backcolor="-1" text_style="0" font_size="-1" supp_zeros="0" AffectsFormMode="1">
