UDFs in Crystal

Hello Experts,
I have a UDF in Service Type AR Invoices to identify a particular service.
The UDF is something like :
Value Descripcion
AAA = Apple
BBB= Banana
CCC= Cinammon
etc..
In crystal, i want to display the description of the value. DO you have any suggestions on how to accomplish this ?
Please let me know

Hi Renata Meuly,
when we want to have description of UDF value in crystal report.
CUFD and UFD1 one are system tables.
SELECT DISTINCT T1.Descr FROM dbo.CUFD T0
INNER JOIN dbo.UFD1 T1 ON T0.TableId = T1.TableId
AND T0.FieldId = T1.FieldId
WHERE T0.TableId = 'INV1' AND T0.AliasID = 'List' AND T1.FldValue =
$[$38.U_List.0]
For testing create one UDF with Name List in Marketing document Row level and try use Set Valid value.
Thanks,
Srujal Patel

Text UDF Disappear in CRYSTAL Layout

Hi all,
I built a SBO layout for sales quotation in crystal 2008.
When i display the layout in the crystal editor every thing works fine, but when i open the layout in SBO all the text UDF disappears (including their column headers).
Numeric UDF are displayed fine.
Does anyone have a clue for the source of this problem.
Thanks, Udi

hi,
are you using Stored Procedure or direct to tables?
i will recommend you use Stored Procedure and use the SQL CAST to achieve the desired output.

UDF field in Crystal in Sales Order Layout

Hi,
I want to Include UDF field in sales order layout, when i open default layout it shows only standard in RDR1(UDF for rowlevel ) it doesn't shows UDF fields. Now i connected database and re-established OLE DB connection and pulled the RDR1 table, here i can get those UDF created by me. but if i use this UDF field in report details area and this results no values in the layout while preview the report in SAP B1.
Anyone guide me on this....

sree

Hi Ivan,
If you want to populate UDF fields into crystal reports layout then you have to do wat i mentioned earlier.
1. Go to Menu
2. choose Database
3. choose verify database
4.enter Object Id and Document Number as a input
5.system will retrieve the values from database and pull all the fields including UDF
but this doesn't change field length of UDF you have to change it on UDF fields management in SAP by updating the field properties.
Note: later you can't reduce the length

UDF's in Crystal

Hi,
I am a complete novice when it comes to crystal but am trying to tweak our purchase order layout so that it might bring a manufacturers part number that is located in a UDF bu cant find the UDF field reference in the field explorer, in fact it doesnt display any UDF's does anyone know why this is and how we can pull UDF's into our crystal layouts

Hi David,
I'm modifying the standard b1 DELIVERY NOTE report. In section: Database Fields I don't see the UDF of my DB but ...
if you create a new formula field (XXXX), in the window listing Report fields and DB table included in teh report, THERE you can see all your UDF. Simply double click on your UDF and a formula is written: {TABLE.UDF} and then use XXXX to view the data in the report.
Hope this helps.

Crystal not displaying UDF

Hello Experts,
I got a UDF on the OPQT table. When created the Crystal report, I added it to the template but when previewing the report the field is bland (even that there is information stored on it).
I've tried everything but can't find the problem.
Do you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks

In reality there are two UDF and none of them are displayed in SAP.
1 is Alphanumeric with a set of valid values.
2 is Alpahnumeric -regular... (free text is entered).
I do not know what is convert or anything...

How do make link between query and UDF

How do you link a query to your UDF after you created the query and the UDF?
Also do you have to set the UDF as type "general", and "link"?
Please take me thru step?

oh good - a discussion about whether to use "link" or "image" when having an image connected to a product!!!
Billy and Suda - We had fun with this one some time ago in a project collecting additional data and images for the customer's products on the market. As we were ramping up the project, we tried both ways of connecting an image to a product and there was a few drawbacks we found with using the UDF type of "General" and "Image":
1. The image was placed directly on the UDF portion on the Item Master - they were working in large TIFF (?) formats and the picture just looked horrible. The approving manager could not tell if the image should be approved for press or not. When he double-clicked on the image in the UDF portion it brought up another SAP window that wasn't quite crystal clear.
2. The image took up so much room on the UDF portion of the Item Master that the data entry personnel had to constantly scroll down to enter the other data points (color, size, branded promo, mixture, etc - there were about 12 fields). Talk about being ticked!
3. While using the "General" and "Link" it addressed those concerns BUT there was one extra enormous advantage with this General/Link method. When the image was brought up, it opened up the image automatically in a standard picture editor/manager program. If they liked what they saw, they continued foward with the approval of the image for press runs. If they did not like the image, they were able to manipulate the image at the moment and then follow through with approval (time saver for sure!).
I am sure it all boils down to what the customer requirements are, but some other clients I demoed this to wanted to switch immediately after seeing that! But definitely something to think about if you are planning on connecting an image to a product...
Oh and she really is correct, Billy - I have never heard of anyone linking a query to a "link" or "image" type...I don' t know how you would even do that as the "link" or "image" selection leads you directly into the attachment and/or storage path and location...
take care - Zal

Error deploying Crystal Report XI R2 to Enterprise - Failed to read paramet

Error deploying Crystal Report XI R2 to Enterprise - Failed to read parameter object.
I know this issue has been addressed several times and the solution recommended was to install Service Pack 2. I have done that. It started working for me too; however recently I got some error saying some UDF***.DLL is missing. I re-installed Crystal Reports XI R2 and Service Pack 2. Unfortunately though, this error is back. I have restarted the machine n number of times but keep on getting this error.
My report file has dynamic parameters defined through command object (SQL Query). My understanding is that once I publish the report to BoE Enterprise, BO will create LOVs and BV's in the repository. Now that is not happening.
has any one else had this issue before and resolved it?
Thanks

Getting Image from database in crystal report

Hi Experts,
I have a user UDF which has Image datatype. I store all the image in C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\Bitmaps\ folder.Now i have to show this image in my crystal report. When i tried to pick this image from database it gives me only the name of image with extension like abc.jpg . How could i achive this in crystal report.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Om
As you have the location of the image, you can insert it as an OLE object onto the report.
Click on Insert -> OLE Object -> specify the path of the image.
For more information, please refer to Crystal Reports help.

Show image in crystal report 2008

Hi All,
I have a UDF - image type in Sales order Line item which stores image.
Currently I want to display sales order line item data in CR2008 using a query.
All data is coming but image field is showing image name in place of showing image.
How can I show image.
Kindly suggest.
Deep Kulshrestha

Hi Deep,
An image type UDF only stores the image name in the database. When you add an image, the SBO client takes a copy of the image file and puts it in the Pictures folder (as defined in General Settings). Therefore, to use dynamic images in Crystal you will need to do the following:
1) Create a formula in Crystal that combines the image name from the UDF field and the path to the Pictures folder to create the full path to the image (note: your Pictures folder must use a UNC or mapped drive path rather than a local path). It's easiest just to hardcode the path to the Pictures folder in the report but you'll have to bear in mind that this setting is company database specific. If you want to be able to run the report for multiple SBO databases then you may need to use a formula to change the path (you could add the OADM table to the report but there is no suitable join between this table and other tables in the database. The report would work because there is only ever 1 record in OADM but it's not good report design).
2) Once you have your formula you can add a add a picture to the body of the report (at this point you should select a default image)
3) Right-click the picture on the layout and choose Format Graphic.
4) Select the Picture tab and click on the formula button to the right of the Graphic Location property
5) In the formula window set the return value to the formula you created in step 1.
6) At this point your image will dynamically change based on the UDF value. You may want to set a formula in the Suppress property of the image so that the default image is hidden if the UDF field is blank for a particular record.
Kind Regards,
Owen

XL Reporter Composer Shut down when UDF as Group

Hi All,
I'm need to group the report using the UDF. When I run XL reporter, group the data by UDF generate or Edit report, the XL reporter shut down.
May I know any one facing this issue?
Looking forward advice and reply.
Thanks.

Group by UDF in XLR is always problematic. You should check other option to group by system field. Otherwise, try Crystal report or other tools.

Alternate Item in Crystal Report

Hi Experts!
I am not able to manage alternate item in crystal report's detail section.
Please help me out in solving the same problem.

Hello,
Whenever you make CR in designer then you have three option
1.Select Table(SQL Table)
2.Select Procedure(SQL procedure)
3.Select Command(Which have SQL query)
Option 1:-
If you want to use Alternative code then use OALI table and make right or left join with this table.
Option :-2
Make UDF row level and set FMS for Alternative or parent item Code.
Thanks

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)

Update a UDF field at runtime

I designed the Sales Order and Sales BOL form in Crystal Reports. I am looking to capture and update an UDF field every time I'm printing the one of those reports in SAP B1 2005 A. The reason for doing this is to display on the report "Original" when printed for the first time, "Duplicate" when printed for the second time and so forth. Is this possible? Thank you.

You could do a Formatted search on the UDF to change to a value when the Field "Printed" is changed.
You might want to do "Refresh Regularly" option in Formatted Search.
