Unknown characters being displayed while Printing Bill of Lading(BOL)

Hello all,
From SAP 4.7D, while printing the output using SAP-script for Bill of Lading, some unknown characters(Eg: 10H0O0S0G), a combination of letters and numbers being printed in the begining and also in the bottom of the output document.
This is happening only in PRD enviroment and it works fine in DEV and QA instances.
The document gets printed in EPSON printer. Since this is not an issue in DEV and QA, I would assume that it has something to do with the printer.
If anybody experienced similar issues in the past OR know the reason for this particular issue, please address this one.
I would really appreciate the feedbacks and reward the points for the right solutions.
Many Thanks,
-G

Hi,
Is this problem is happenning only with Bill of lading? If that is the case, it should not be a problem with printer. If there is a problem with the printer driver it should affect the complete form itself.
If you want to test the printer driver, compare the device type maintained for the EPSON printer in both QA and Production.
Hope this helps you.

Bill of Lading (BOL) was not printing properly

Hi ,
In Production system, Bill of Lading (BOL) was not printing properly.
Only a part of BOL is printed.
It was happening only for one BOL, where as other BOLs are printing correctly.
Even spool was generated successfully.

Hi Kotireddy,
I also face the same problem long back. The problem was at the delivery item text.
One of the line item texts contained a special character.
Once the special character was removed, everything was normal. BOL was printed successfully.
Check the failed BOL, whether this may be the problem.

Data being Displayed while the Account Name not getting Displayed in FR

Hi,
We are facing a strange issue when is user is trying to run a Hyperion Financial report. The data and Entity Name is being displayed whereas the Account name is not being displayed for a particular entity. The user has access to the Entity and accounts. Any Clues ??

The first thing that pops to my mind is does the format of the cell have Replace checkbox checked with a blank description. thus any results coming back will display as blank.
Also the customized header is check and it is showing blank.
A quick test if you have Smart View is can the user access the same data? if yes then the report has a filter of some sort, if the user cannot access the data in smart view, there is a security problem perhaps with the data

Form is displayed while printed, but not displayed on screen (print preview)

Dear all,
We use an Adobe Form to visualise our invoices ... When we print an invoice directly to the printer, everything looks ok and all forms are displayed correctly ... But when we try to watch the same invoice on screen (print preview), we do not see the subform ...
The property "presence" of the specified subform is "visible", so this is probably not the problem ?
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be ?
Thanks in advance !

Duplicate Resource Objects are displayed while provisioning the resource

Duplicate Resource Objects are displayed while provisioning the resource to organization after creating a new workflow through export and import process.
A workfolw already exists in the environment and I am trying to replicate the work flow with a different name . So i import all the components related to provisioning workflow rename the names of the components and make the necessary changes and import it back. after this I am getting Duplicate Resource Objects being displayed while provisioning the resource to organization .plz help.its urgent

I have tried this process thrice not able to solve this problem ......unchecking allow multiple ..i don t think matters as this is provisioning to org ...n what i am telling is the list from which u select the resources to be provisioned --that list shows duplicate resource object names at a time..Each time I import an xml the number of same resource object names being displayed in the list increases ...So If I have imported three workflows then (say Resorce Object AD) appears thrice in the list. I have not given the resource objects same name in all the workflows for this to happen

Bill of lading in delivery in WM

Hi All - Hope everybody is doing well.
I have a question on bill of lading. At what stage during the delivery creation against STO, we will generate the bill of lading and packing list? the scenario is we will create the delivery against STO from other plant. Further more what will be the configuration we need to do to generate the BOL and Picking list? please help with steps.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
regards,
Khan

A Bill of lading[BOL] is a document issued by a carrier, by a company's shipping department, acknowledging that specified goods have been received on board as cargo for conveyance to a named place for delivery to the consignee who is usually identified.
You can generate a Bill of Lading document before you Goods Issue the outbound delivery. Packing List and Picking List are two different documents. Picking List (Pick Slip) Guides a warehouse user on what needs to be picked against which document. A packing slip constitutes the contents of packing/handling unit information for a delivery/order. This is much like the documetation you find when you open a newly purchased electronic component like say a camera.
In order to use the Packing list PL00 (packing slip in delivery) you must do 'Packing' in the delivery note (edit->packing)..otherwise while printing there would be an error: V1032
You need to issue output from delivery item first VL02N >extras>delivery output>item>PL00
Delivery Note (ouput PL00/LD00 Packing List-Transaction VL74)
The delivery note, (packing List) contains the following information for each line item.
The item number ordered, example 24231
Your order number, since a shipment may contain items from various orders
having your PO # next to each line item will help your warehouse personnel
properly identify the items being received.
Material or IDH number which identifies 24231 in SAP
Quantity Ordered
Quantity Shipped
Net Weight
Number of packages
Batch Code
Quantity/Pack
The BOL can be found in the Output determination for the Transportation [Transaction V/82]
Example:
1. Output determination starts in V7 with output type CMR1 and the assigned access sequence.
2. The access sequence defines the fields with which the key for the condition table is read.
(for example, condition table B017: shipment type of the shipment is read)
3. If the condition record is found, the system proposes an output with the output attributes found in the table.
4. The output proposal (possibly not yet processed) is stored after the document is posted as an output status record in the NAST table.

Bill of Lading - where the "Received From:" information is comming from?

Hello All,
In the Bill of Lading, right in the top, there is a "Received From:" information, do you know where that information come from? I have checked SPRO IMG for Company Code address, Sales Organization, Plant, Shipping Point, and have not found exacly where is comming from. Would you please let me know?
I enter into the BOL from VL02N, then "OutBound Delivery" menu option, and then "Issue Delivery Output".
Thanks
Jose Alvarado

With your advices, I used NACE transaction and found the FORM and Program for the BOL. Into the BOL printing program I added some breakpoints, so when I try to print one BOL I finally find where the address is being taking from:
The Bill of Lading is being printed using this SAP program: ZRVADDN01 and this SAP Form: ZRVDELNOTE.
The program calls three tables to fulfill the u201CReceived Fromu201D values in the BOL: Table TVKO, T001 and ADRC.
The SPRO IMG configuration:
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Enterprise Structure > Definition > Financial Accounting > Edit,Copy, Delete, Check Company Code
Thanks for all the help!

Line items are not coming on next page in Bill of Lading

When I am printing Bill of Lading, if it has around 8 line items then its printing on the first page, but if line items are more then its not printing the remaining line items on second page.
I have one delivery with 10 line items, when I am printing it then on first page 7 line items are coming and for 8 line item only material is printing and on second page its description is printing but last two line items are not printing at all.
Kindly help me to resolve the issue as it is very critical.

Hi,
Check below points.
Point 1:
When you create a delivery document, you create it for a Shipping Point.
So whatever the line that came in to one delivery has determined same shipping point that you entered in VL01N screen.
Others got a different shipping point and that's why it didn't come to the same delivery document.
Shipping point determined based on below criteria
- Shipping Condition - From customer master
- Loading Group - Material
- Plant - Delivery Plant of the sales order line item
You assign a proffered shipping point for above combination in configuration.
If that combination is not find, those line items are not going in to the delivery.
You can check the log of the delivery document for more information as well.
Point 2:
Check the line item Requested delivery date and the "Selection Date" you entered in the VL01N screen.
Al Requested delivery dates has to be on or before the "Selection Date" you entered in the VL01N screen.
Those line items which has a date more than that will dropped in the delivery.
Best regards,
Anupa

Digital Signature - Bill of Lading

Hi Sunil,
A Bill of lading (BOL) is a document issued by a carrier, e.g. a ship's master or by a company's shipping department, acknowledging that specified goods have been received on board as cargo for conveyance to a named place for delivery to the consignee who is usually identified. The term derives from the noun "bill", a schedule of costs for services supplied or to be supplied, and from the verb "to lade" which means to load a cargo onto a ship or other form of transport.
The BOL can be found in the Output determination for the Transportation [Transaction V/82]
Example:
1. Output determination starts in V7 with output type CMR1 and the assigned access sequence.
2. The access sequence defines the fields with which the key for the condition table is read.
(for example, condition table B017: shipment type of the shipment is read)
3. If the condition record is found, the system proposes an output with the output attributes found in the table.

Hope this will help.

Preventing Password Characters from being Displayed

I know this question has been asked and answered about a billion times but I can't seem to find any definitive answer as to how it will be addressed or if there are any plans to address it in the future.
We all know that when an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch user is prompted for a password (AppleID, enterprise, web site, etc) that the characters are displayed before being concealed by a black dot. Again, arguing over how ridiculous of a design flaw this is, at this point, completely moot. However, does anyone from Apple have an answer as to what will be or can be done in the future?
My situation is this: I am an IT administrator in a private Jesuit school. Nearly all of our faculty have been given iPads and we have installed AppleTVs and new projectors in all of our classrooms for the faculty to mirror content on their iPads rather than using a desktop PC (we're trying to phase desktops out of the enterprise except for labs and work areas).
All faculty using iPads have been briefed on this situation and we've had very few occurences of passwords being compromised. However, even the most vigilant educator slips up and, just today, it was determined that one of our teachers' test banks (which resides on the teacher's network home share) was accessed by a student who saw his password during an iPad mirroring session. The student copied tests and distributed them to his classmates.
Besides venting a little and looking for some sort of solution, what I would like to know is Apple plans on addressing this in the next version of the IOS. Frankly, for the inroads that Apple has made into the classroom and enterprise with iPads, there appears to be very little thought given to how little things like password security and AppleID/iPad provisioning and the difficulty managing these things can affect an institution's decision to introduce a device that holds so much promise.
Any case, if anyone at apple is listening, I VOTE THAT YOU OFFER SOME WAY TO CONCEAL PASSWORDS WHILE THEY ARE TYPED INTO THE PASSWORD FIELD (this can be configured as an option on Android devices, not sure why Apple can't do it).

No sorry, The only way I can think of would require modifying the iOS itself. Unless you can find a password management app that would allow copying and pasting without showing the characters. I use mSecure, and with that one can paste-to-clipboard a password without actually displaying the password. As long as the app you are pasting the password into supports hidden password characters, you can paste the password into the field without it every dispalying any characters. It works that way at least with the apps I use (banking/financial apps, for example).
The onle issue with mSecure is that if you tap a bit too far to the left of the "copy to clipboard", you will display the password. But there are lots of password manager apps in the app store, so I'm not saying msecure is the only or even the best option.

FF 5.0.1 on OS X 10.6.8: An unknown error occurred while printing.

Two iMacs. Both new. Both running 10.6.8. Both have same software installed.Both have same printers installed. An HP laserjet and a Xerox Phaser 3635MFC.
FF will not print to Xerox on one it does on the other. Erased hard drive and reinstalled OS X on problem Mac. Same problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled printers. Performed the about:config printer preference reset on all printer preferences.
After clicking Print on print dialog box, it closes and then drop down from FF title bar displays: Printer Error An Unknown error occurred while printing.
Here are relevant log entries from Console:
8/9/11 5:38:30 PM firefox-bin[728] Exception calling shouldPrint: for plugin <XeroxFeatures: 0x16481d9a0> : Cannot remove an observer <XRState 0x10318f8f0> for the key path "isSet" from <XRSimpleState 0x117a22b00> because it is not registered as an observer.

You are seeing the message because the new AirPort Extreme has some specific System Requirements:
http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/
Setup and Administration
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 in Snow Leopard may or may not work correctly with the new Extreme for all functions. As long as things are working OK for now, you can probably leave them "as is" and wait for another Mavericks update to fix some issues before you "upgrade".
If you have an iPhone or iPad, you could use that to administer any settings changes on the new Extreme.

I cannot print, get error 'An unknown error occurred while printing."

I can see that hundreds of other people also have this problem and I can't understand why Mozilla don't fix it.
When I go to print an email or a receipt, whether by printer or by PDF, I *sometimes* get the error, 'An unknown error occurred while printing.'
It is very frustrating as the problem is intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... even with the same page being printed. Incidentally, that page can be printed in both Chrome and Internet Explorer without a problem.
I have tried other "solutions" in similar, now closed, threads. However, 'reset' is not working for me. Closing Firefox and reopening doesn't work either. I have the latest version of Firefox: 14.0.1 and have Windows x64. There is enough available space in the cache...
I'm just at my wits end with this.

With the latest updates FF 19 BETA and Acrobat X. The new one with the black PDF screen), I'm having difficulty too printing to Adobe PDF. System Win 7 x 64.
Printing to physical printers not an issue.
No errors, but (Not Responding either in FF or Acrobat.) Printing to the PDF printer directly sometimes works. Using the work-around fast enough, it seems to always work.
I found a work-around:
Goto Print Preview
Select Print
Type in your file name
IMMEDIATELY press OK and Minimize Firefox.
All of the progress boxes/windows are getting confused otherwise. With FF opened as a normal page, there are too many different progress boxes.
Acrobat has one, the windows print driver has one, FF seems to have one and they all can't be on top.
They will if FF is minimized.
Incidentally if FF is killed, the "Creating Adobe PDF" shows its face from being hidden.
I did reset Firefox.
This is seriously messed up now. It used to work fine until the last round of updates from M$, Adobe and FF.

Withholding tax Amount not being displayed in the Invoice while posting a Parked Document

Hi,
I have created a parked document for the Vendor who has the Witholding tax code w9 - 15% . I created Parked Document using FBV1 and then tried posting the same using FBV0.Somehow I am not getting the Withholding tax Amount in the FI Document created. However the W/Tax Base Amount and the W/ Base LC are being displayed correctly.
Say if the Line item Amount is 1,000$ then both the amounts mentioned above in the Additional tab "Withholding tax Data" are being displayed as 1,000 usd but the W/Tax Amount is 0,00 USD.
2. Also We have the PI and the Interface is written to post the Parked document while the xml file. There is a Method Execute_Asynchronous which has two BDCs one for FBV2 ( Change Parked Document ) followed by the Post Parked Document FBV0. Hence When I try to post the Parked Document using the SPROXY Interface which has two BDCs Viz FBV2 & FBV0 I still get the Invoice with the Same Amounts and at times with additional 2 zeros added to it in the Additionsal Tax Data Screen.
I am not sure what is the reason for this. Can anybody help me sort out this Issue.
Can there be any Config issues. Please let me know what all config Settings we need to do to sort out this Issue.
Also let me know why the 2 Zeros are getting added to the Base Amount e.g if the Vendor Line item is 12,000 USD it shows as 12,00000.00 in the Withholding tax Data Tab in the Invoice.
Regards,
Deepak.

Dear Praveen,
please check into IMG if You defined the WT type You are using for Your Comapny code:
IMG --> Assign Withholding Tax Types to Company Codes
I hope this helps.

Umlaut characters getting distorted while displaying in Web dynpro java

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I am reading some string values from a properties file placed in java DC.
The values read from properties file are to be displayed in Web Dynpro application.
The string values contain some umlaut characters eg (ü,ä).
While displaying in web Dynpro application the umlaut characters are getting distorted.
Any pointers for the same?
Regards
Radhika Kuthiala

Hi Radhika,
Solution1> you can convert the property file in the encoded format, in the DC having the pr0perty file.
use this command in the command line:-->native2ascii -encoding utf8 file.txt file2.txt
Are we renaming hte files after changing the format?
In one of my previous project we have property file with the french character so we got error, to avoid this we have manually transtaled the file and utilized in the application and used the command in dos promt:-
native2ascii -encoding utf8 source.txt destination.txt ,
here if you want to replace the existing file u have to give same name source and destination file. But we have created 2 seprate file. after translation you will something like Fre/uooch king of output.
Solution3> you can read the file and save in the Strign format and use java package import java.nio.charset.; and encode the string. ---
Pls refer the below link:-

Hope this may help you.
