UDF link type and formatted search

Dear experts,
Im trying to use a formatted search to fill a UDF of the link type.
The plan is to generate a weburl voor googlemaps like the link with business partner addresses. I do this with the following query:
     DECLARE @URLp1 AS VARCHAR(254)
     DECLARE @Adres AS VARCHAR(254)
     DECLARE @Plaats AS VARCHAR(254)
     DECLARE @Postcode AS VARCHAR(254)
     DECLARE @URL AS VARCHAR(254)
     SET @URLp1=('http://maps.google.com/?q=')
     SELECT @Adres=($[$U_Adres.1.0])
     SELECT @Plaats=($[$U_Plaats.1.0])
     IF LEN($[$U_Postcode.1.0])=0
          BEGIN
               SELECT @URL=(@URLp1+@Adres+'+'+@Plaats)
               SELECT @URL
          END
     SELECT @Postcode=($[$U_Postcode.1.0])
     SELECT @URL=(@URLp1+@Adres+'+'+@Postcode+'+'+@Plaats)
     SELECT @URL=(SELECT REPLACE (@URL,' ','%20'))
     SELECT @URL
The select replace doesn't work yet but that's not the real problem.
I used the following formatted search settings:
Search in Existing User-Defined Values according to Saved Query
Auto Refresh When Field Changes -> set to Adres
Refresh Regularly
When I try these settings on my UDF link style the field just stays empty.
When I use this formatted search on a Alphanumeric(100) field it more or less works. I need to manualy refresh the field to execute the query.
If I simplify the query to insert just one value like 'Opportunity No.' ($[$74.1.0]) it does auto update in both fields.
Could someone point me in the right direction what I'm missing/forgetting or give me a sollution that might even be better?
Kind regards
Edit:
PS. We are using SAP BO 8.8 PL15

I've found a topic with a similar problem but there's no solution there either...

  • Convert DocTime to datetime type and format of HH:MM

    Hi Experts!!
    I am setting up an alert that will run every 5 minutes but would like only those docs created in the last 5 to be selected. In order to accomplish this i would like to use the DATEDIFF funtion. But have a problem in that the DocTime is a smallint (why it's not a datetime is beyond me!) How do I convert it to the proper datetime type and format?
    Thx

    Hi Richard,

  • Decimal and formatted search

    hello,
    I've defined an UDF as Price.
    Number of decimal for prices is set to 3 in the general settings.
    the actual result of my formatted search is rounded to 2 decimals although 3 decimal are displayed.
    here is a simple formatted search that illustrate the issue :
    SELECT 100 / (100+19.6)
    the displayed result is 0.840 instead of the correct value : 0.836
    How can It be solved ?
    Best regards,
    Francis

    Hi
    Please check the decimal settings of
    amount as well(general setting -display tab)
    there is one case:
    When under Adminstration -> System Initialization -> General Settings ->
    Display, the decimal for the amount is defined as 0 and the UDF is
    defined as eg.  alphanumeric or units and total amount, The UDF does not
    return the decimals and round the amount.
    base on my testing:
    if I define 2 decimal places for amount
    then the UDF result  will be 0.84
    But if I define 3 decimal places for amount
    then the UDF result will be  0.83

  • Link colors and formats not WYSIWYG

  • Outgoing payment and formatted search

    hi
    how can i write a FS that distinguish between the methods of the payment (cash, check,cc).
    thanks
    Rafi

    Thanks Suda for your reply.
    what is the right syntax for the case statement.
    i want to get an automatic journal memo, each time i make an outgoing payment.
    Till now i have a FS that don't distinguish between the methods of the payment, which cause later on some confuses in our books.
    the trigger for this FS is a change in the code name of the document.
    my goal is to have a FS that's changed according to the methods mentioned above, and i'm afraid i won't be able to make it evoke automatically.
    "Also $32.0.0.25 is incorrect. Form field references have only 3 parameters not 4 "
    i put only 3 parameters, the 25 is the number of digits in the left function.
    Thx

  • How do i deduct dates using formatted search with a query

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to know how to get the date difference using query and formatted search. Below are the details:
    1. I have created 3 Header UDF's composed of 2  Date type fields and 1 Quantity field.
    2. The first one is for the Original Date, the next one is for the Payment Date and the Last one is for the No. of Days Lapsed.
    What I would like to do is automatically compute for the number of days from the original date to the payment date. What query syntax should i use to achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Yvette

    Hi Yvette,
    It should be something like;
    DATEDIFF (day, T0.[createDate], T0.[closeDate] ) as 'Aging'  This is just an example. You may add your udf's instead of dates.
    Thanks,
    Joseph

  • Using Form Variables in a Formatted Search

    Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to SAP B1 and just trying to get some info. I have created a few formatted searches, but I am having trouble with this one in particular.
    I am trying to get the 'Business Partner Type' Field under Business Partner Master Data (BP Type, [Form=134 Item=40 Pane=0 Variable=1 OCRD,CardType] to change the user defined fields category displayed [Form=-134 Item=9 Pane=0 Variable=62]
    For example, when CardType is Vendor ('S' value), I'd like the user defined fields category 'vendor'( '1' value) to show
    Here is my query
    SELECT CASE
    WHEN $[$40.0.1]='S' THEN '0'
    ELSE WHEN $[$40.0.1]='C' THEN '1' END
    Which is then assigned as a formatted search to that field.
    I was trying to find some sort of definitive guide on form variables and formatted search queries; if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it (I have seen the $[$x.y.z] variables but I am not 100% sure on their usage).
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Try this:
    SELECT CASE  $[OCRD.CardType\]
    WHEN 'S' THEN '0'
    WHEN 'C' THEN '1'
    END

  • Problem when create auto numbering in BP master using Formatted Search

    Hi all,
    I have a problem in creating auto numbering in BP for Customer type using Formatted search
    My query is like this
    declare @tempNo as char(20)
    set @tempNo=(select  Isnull(max(REPLACE(OCRD.CardCode , LEFT(OCRD.CardCode,10),'')),0)  + 1
    from OCRD where (CardType ='C') and LEFT(OCRD.CardCode,3) = 'CU.' )
    set @tempNo='CU.'left(convert(varchar,GETDATE(),112),6)'.'+@tempNo
    select cast(@tempNo as char(20))
    It should be creating the new number for example
    CU.201101.1
    CU.201102.2
    CU.201103.3
    CU.201103.4
    The format will be like this CU.YYYYMM.autonumbering
    So if the current year is still the same it will always increase the number and it will reset the number become 1 if the current year is change.
    But when i execute the number , the number doesn't increase, still generate the last number CU.201103.4
    I have use this query in generate item number, it runs well but different format.
    Is there some thing wrong with my query?
    Thanks in advance

  • Problem with activation of Formatted Searches

    There seems to be an error in the activation of formatted searches in SAP B1.
    The following is an example to demonstrate the real situation with a minimum of complexity.
    1. We have defined 2 user defined fields, U_trigger and U_target, in the title area of documents. Both are defined as alphanumeric fields with standard length 10 and some predefined values.
    2. For sales orders we have defined for UDF 'target' that a formatted search 'getTriggerValue' is activated on changes of UDF 'trigger'.
    3. The formatted search 'getTriggerValue' reads the value of UDF 'trigger' and writes it to UDF 'target':
    DECLARE @triggerValue AS nvarchar(10)
    SET @triggerValue = $[ORDR.U_trigger]
    SELECT @triggerValue
    When we add a new document to the database, i.e. the document is in "button-mode" = 'add', there are no problems with the activation of the FS on field 'target' when the value of field 'trigger' is changed!
    After a document is already written to the database and is later displayed on the screen again, the document is in "button-mode" = 'OK'. In this situation the FS on field 'target' IS NOT ACTIVATED when the value of field 'trigger' is changed, i.e. the value of 'trigger' is not copied to 'target'.
    After this first change the document is now in "button-mode" = 'update'. If we now change the value of field 'trigger' a second time the FS on field 'target' is activated an the value is copied from 'trigger' to 'target'.
    If we define the FS of field 'target' with option 'Refresh Regularly' the FS is activated after the first change of field 'trigger' as expected.
    But we CAN NOT USE THIS OPTION AS A STANDARD SOLUTION for our problem, since some fields and their FS can not work with this option and need the standard option 'Display Saved Values' set. Otherwise some fields yield wrong values, since they are working not only with constant predefined values as in the simple example above, but with dates which are set by GETDATE() in the FS, e.g.
    Is this behaviour a bug of SAP (FS is not activated even if the value of the refresh field is changed)?
    If not, what is the idea behind this behaviour?
    And how can I get around this behaviour?
    Thank you for your support!
    Frank Romeni

    Hello Suda!
    Many thanks for your answer!
    Perhaps my explanations are a bit in confusion.
    The example in my question is just to demonstrate the behaviour of the formatted search with option 'Display Saved Values' set, i.e. in a document that is already saved to the database, only after the second change the formatted search is activated.
    I am aware that with the simple formatted search that I have shown as an example everything works fine with the option 'Refresh Regularly'.
    But what is the meaning to activate the formatted search only after the second change when option 'Display Saved Values' is set?
    The reason why we can't use option 'Refresh Regularly' is that in our real application not only constant values are copied from 'trigger' to 'target'.
    Let me give you an example which approaches the real situation more than the first example:
    DECLARE @trigger AS nvarchar(20)
    SET @trigger = $[ORDR.U_trigger]  -- U_trigger / UDF 'trigger'
    DECLARE @save AS datetime
    SET @save = $[ORDR.U_date]        -- U_date / UDF 'date'; save current date
    IF @trigger = 'getDate'
      SELECT GETDATE()
    ELSE IF @trigger = 'getDateConst'
      SELECT '01.01.2008'
    ELSE IF ...
    ELSE
      SELECT @save                    -- no value in @trigger to change date ==> reset
    Option 'Display Saved Values' set: formatted search is activated only after the second change of value of UDF 'trigger'. This is not acceptable!
    Option 'Refresh Regularly' set: Suppose the 'trigger' is set to 'getDate'. The actual date, e.g. 25.06.08, is displayed in UDF 'date'. The document is saved to database. When the document is fetched again on the next day, the formatted search is activated immediately without the change of any values, i.e. 'trigger' still is set to 'getDate'. This is evaluated in the formatted search and the function GETDATE() is called and the now actual date, 26.06.08, is written to UDF 'date'. This is wrong!
    I hope that the new example shows why we can't use option 'Refresh Regularly'!
    We need no regularly refreshed value of UDF 'date', we need an activation of the formatted search only when the value of UDF 'trigger' changes. But why is it activated only after the second change when 'Display Saved Values' is set?
    Thank you for further support!

  • My Formatted search work wrong!!

    I'd like to get your understanding on my english ability.
    But..., Time Pressed..
    Please Help me ..
    I make a UDO and Formatted search(It Update the U_CardName whenever the U_Cardcode changes )
    After, I link a Formatted search to my form(using screen Painter and connecting UDO, it works good).
    The problem is formatted search work only When i pushed "Update" button in screen of Define Formatted Search , otherwise it doesn't work.
    so now, I work ..
       1. Form Load.
       2. Ctrl + Shift + f2 press in edittext of U_cardname
       3. (Originally, Checked "Display Saved Values"
          check "Refresh Regularly" and
          check "Display Saved Values"
       4. "Update"
    what's the my problem?
    why is it happend?

    Hi Lee,
    You have to define a Query in the cardname field indicating that the query must be executed when the value of CardCode changes.
    Now, define such a query:
    SELECT T0.CardName AS 'BP Name' FROM  [dbo].[OCRD] T0 WHERE  T0.CardCode = RTRIM($[$3.U_CardCode])
    Where "3" is the item number of the column that contains the U_CardCode. Check the one is assigned to your field using the "Debug Information" in the "View" Menu
    When you define the Formatted Search:
    - Select Search by Saved Query and choose the one that contains the statement above
    - Auto Refresh when...
    - Select here the description that match your U_CardCode field
    - Display Saved Values
    Now you have set your UFS and it works!
    Hope this helps,
    Felipe

  • Fill Find edit box of Formatted search screen

    Hi,
    I have an edit box and a choose button.
    when I click on that choose button I get a formatted search screen.
    I want the value typed in the edit box to be defaulted in the
    Find Edit box of the foratted search screen.
    Say I type "1" in my edit box, My formatted search screen should pop up having "1"
    in the Find edit box and results pertaining to value "1"(like wild card search)
    should be displayed in the formatteed search screen.
    Can anyone tell me as how to implement this?

    The reference to $[x.0.0] was simply meant to point you towards using the formatted search syntax for selecting fields from the current screen for use in your query.
    The two techniques I mentioned were not meant to be used together, you could either use the sendkeys, or the $[x.0.0] syntax depending on which result you wanted.
    The $[x.0.0] syntax actually goes in the query that is saved for the formatted search, you don't need to do anything with it programatically at runtime, business one does it for you.  You can get a formatted search to pick values up from the current screen by using syntax such as $[$4.0.0] or $[$OINV.CARDCODE]. This particular example will pick up the cardcode from a document screen.  Look in the standard help file under Formatted Searches for more details.
    I have attached a sample query showing how it can be used with fields based on userdatasources in custom screens.  This one can be used to show product lookups out when the user has already keyed in a partial product code.  At runtime the $[#018.UItem] reference automatically gets replaced with the value currently in the item field.
    DECLARE @Item Varchar(20)
    SET @Item = RTRIM($[#018.UItem]) + '%'
    SELECT T0.ItemCode, T0.ItemName FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.ItemCode LIKE @Item FOR BROWSE
    If you haven't seen this type of formatted search processing before, I would recommend you try to spend a little time learning it - it sometimes eliminates the need for writing SDK code at all.
    Regards,
    John.
