Hi Silambu,
This database probably has inconsistent issue already. You need try restart SQL server and perform DBCC first.

Hi,
Once a UDF is created and a value is entered in it, the same cannot be retrieved in any of the layouts and reports unless a Key is generated for that UDF. By assigning a Key to that UDF, the same UDF can be used in Crystal Reports or any other Reporting tool to extract its values from SAP. These reporting tools searches the Uniqueness of the UDF Values with this Keys only.
For eg.: When you develop a report and select a table from which you need the fields to be shown in the layout. In that, the only fields whose keys are generated are only available to use in the report.
Hope its clear to you.

Adding user defined field in print layout design of Bill of matrial Report

I want to add "Drawing No" which is user defined field in Bill of Material report need immediate help .

Hi,
If you add the UDF in BOM-Title then the UDF will be in OITT table.
If you add the UDF in BOM-Rows then the UDF will be in ITT1 table.
You will find BOM-Title or BOM-Rows in Production Module (ie., in User Defined Fields --> Manage User Fields)
In PLD, You can print the UDF if you search in the above said tables.

When you do the Manage User Fields area to define a UDF, all the possible areas where UDF's can be created in B1 is listed. You would be able to create UDF's only on these.

Martin,
From within the SAP Business One user interface under Tools > Customization Tools > User-Defined Fields - Management, you need to add to the Marketing Documents > Tile and/or Rows, etc.

User Define Field

Hi,
Just wondering, if any one faced the dilemma as I am facing in reference to User Define field.
I have user define field and is visible in SBO Interface (Tools - User Defined Field - Manage User Defined field), but unfortunately its not available in XL report writer (Tools - User Defined Fields). Its quite confusing because other user defined field is visible in XL Reporter, but only one is missing. Is there any restriction or can anyone guide to view all the user-defined fields in XL Reporter defined in SBO interface.
Regards
Ronald

Hi,
There is a pdf file from SAP that explains about the table supported by XL reporter. So, if you made some UDF in the table that is not supported by XL reporter, I think it won't be available in the XL reporter.
The pdf file title is Support of User-Defined Fields (UDFs) in XL Reporter - SAP Business One 2005A SP01 - March 2006.

Is it possible to have user defined field in pick and pack manager

HI,
I would like to know whether it is possible to have user defined field in pick and pack manager row level.
Manage user defined field there is only provision for <b>pick list</b> and not for <b>Pick and pack</b>.
Regards
Krishna

The Pick and Pack Manger doesn't relate to any specific table (nothing saved to the database), so it does not make any sense having a userdefiend field on it. I would guess that you could add a column and bind it to a userdatasource (not a SAP database field), but if this make any sense depends on what you are trying to achive...

User defined fields in Crystal layout

Hi All,
I want to add user defined field values in crystal layout for Sales order, but its not listed in RDR1 tables there but it's available in SAP query manager view. How can i get that in Crystal reports. please suggest on this.
Regards
Sree

You can then remove the key and the fields in the database will keep their correct definitions rather than varchar(max) which is causing the initial problems.
Adding extra keys may uause performance issues if you leave them there for a large table.
I have also had issues of varchar(max) fields causing database connection issues when running the reports in 8.81 PL07.

Issue while deleting user defined field in oim 11.1.1.3

All,
Made a mistake while creating user defined field called "Profile for" (loing to OIM -> advanced -> configuration -> User configuration). We are trying to delete it. It appears to get deleted from user attributes screen. But when we run LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation Task we get the following error below:
oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ProcessLDAPReconDataException: oracle.iam.ldapsync.exception.ReconEventCreationException: Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAPIException: Profile for - LDAPUser object does not exists for resource object
Is any thing else need to be deleted adn cleaned up?
thanks in advance,
Prasad.

How do i check what resource object the recon task is running against. here is what i found so far.
I cannot find LDAPUser resource object when i query Resource Management -> Resource Objects in design console. Same thing with Manage Resource and search (here i only find Xellerate User, Xellerate Organiztion, USERS_GTC, and Installation) in OIM advanced administration menu.
The LDAP User Create and Update Reconciliation job itself has the following parameters (batch size, last change number, OIM employee type, OIM User organization name, OIM user type)
I also decompiled LDAPUserChangesReconTask and it is looking for LDAPUser metadata from MDS directly.
Prasad.

Hai
Follow the bellow steps for creating User Defined Field Exit
Step by step procedure for creating Field Exits
There are eight steps to creating a field exit:
Step 1: Determine Data Element
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
Step 3: Create Field Exit
Step 4: Create Function Module
Step 5: Code Function Module
Step 6: Activate Function Module
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
Step 1: Determine Data Element
- Before you can begin adding the functionality for a field exit, you must know the corresponding data element.
- An easy way to determine the data element associated to a particular screen field is to:
Go the appropriate screen.
Position the cursor in the appropriate field.
Press F1 for field-level help.
Click on the Technical info pushbutton (or press F9) on the help dialog box.
On this Technical Information dialog box, the data element will be specified if the field is 'painted' from the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
- The transaction to create field exits is CMOD.
- You can use the menu path Tools -> ABAP/4 Workbench -> Utilities -> Enhancements -> Project management.
- From the initial screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Text enhancements -> Field exits menu path.
- After choosing this menu path, you will be taken to the field exits screen. From here, you can create a field exit.
NOTE : Even though you use transaction CMOD to maintain field exits, you do not need to create a project to activate field exits.
Step 3: Create Field Exit
- From the field exit screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Field exit -> Create menu path.
- After choosing this menu path, a dialog box will prompt you for the appropriate data element .
- Enter the data element name and click the Continue pushbutton.
- Now, you will be able to create the function module associated to the data elements field exit.
Step 4: Create Function Module
- You will automatically be taken to the Function Library (SE37) after entering a data element name and clicking the Continue pushbutton.
- In the Function module field, a function module name will be defaulted by the system based on the data element specified. This name will have the following convention:
FIELD_EXIT_<data element>
- You can add an identifier (an underscore followed by a single character ).
- The first function module for a data elements field exit must be created without an identifier.
- To create the function module, click on the Create pushbutton, choose menu path Function module -> Create, or press F5.
- After choosing to create the function module, you will get the warning: "Function module name is reserved for SAP". This message is just a warning so a developer does not accidentally create a function module in the field exit name range. By pressing Enter, you will be able to go ahead and create the function module.
- Before coding the function module, you will have to specify the function modules attributes -- function group, application, and short text.
Step 5: Code Function Module
- From the function modules attributes screen, click on the Source code pushbutton or choose the Goto -> Function module menu path to the code of the function module.
- Here you will add your desired functionality for the field exit.
- Remember that field exits function module will have two parameters -- one importing parameter called "INPUT" and one exporting parameter called "OUTPUT". These parameters will be set up automatically by the system.
- You must remember to assign a value to the OUTPUT field. Even if the value does not change, it must be moved from the INPUT field to the OUTPUT field.
Step 6: Activate Function Module
- After coding the function module, you must remember to activate it.
- Use the Function module -> Activate menu path to activate the function module.
- At this point, you can return to the field exit transaction.
- You should be able to 'green arrow' back to this transaction.
- When you return to the field exit transaction, you will see an entry for the newly created field exit.
- At this point, the field exit is global. That is, it applies to all screens that use a particular data element. On any screen that uses the data element, the corresponding field exit function module will be triggered, once it is active.
- Also, the field exit will not be triggered yet because it is inactive.
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
- This step is only needed if you want to make a field exit local.
- To make a field exit local, select the field exit and click on the Assign prog./screen pushbutton.
- In the dialog box , indicate the appropriate program name and screen number.
This information indicates that the field exit is local to the specified screen in the specified program.
- In the dialog box, you determine which function module gets executed for the field exit by specifying the identifier in the Fld. Exit field.
- If this field is left blank, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>'.
- If a single-character identifier is entered into the field, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>_<identifier>'.
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
- The field exit must be active for it to be triggered by the system.
- Activate the field exit by choosing the Field exit -> Activate menu path.
- After assigning the field exit to a change request, its status will change to Active and it will be triggered automatically on the appropriate screen(s).
NOTE : In order to activate the field exit the profile parameter abap/fieldexit = YES must be set on all application servers

Modifying/Updating User Defined Field in a Scheduled Task

I've written a notification task to send an e-mail to a manager who has a contract employee with a contract that is about to expire.
Once we isolate a user who has a contract about to expire, we send a notification to the manager. The date that the notification is sent out should be stored in the USR table in a user-defined field, "USR_UDF_LASTSENT."
Updating this USR_UDF_LASTSENT field is where I'm having difficulty.
I've tried using the UserManager in a couple of ways. Suppose I've isolated a single user using SearchCriteria and the UserManager and have a single User object called "currentUser." I want to store a Date object in the user defined field "USR_UDF_LASTSENT". Date today = new Date();
I've tried: currentUser.setAttribute("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today); //This will run without error, but when I check the DB there is no change to the attribute.
With a defined instance of UserManager userManager, I've tried: userManager.modify("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today, currentUser); //This errored out with this error - oracle.iam.identity.exception.NoSuchUserException: IAM-3054135:No user found for the criteria USR_UDF_LASTSENT-9/24/13 2:58 PM.:USR_UDF_LASTSENT:9/24/13 2:58 PM. It looks like it's doing a search rather than a modification.
I've also tried using the entity manager in the following way:
Date today = new Date();
HashMap<String, Object> mapAttrs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
mapAttrs.put("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today);
EntityManager entMgr = Platform.getService(EntityManager.class);
entMgr.modifyEntity("User", currentUser.getEntityId(), mapAttrs);
But it returns with this error: Failed: oracle.iam.platform.entitymgr.UnknownAttributeException: User : [USR_UDF_LASTSENT]
Is my entityType, "User" inappropriate in this case? What should be used here?
How can I Set or Update this user defined field from a scheduled task?

Thanks guys. I did go to Identity System Administration console and chose 'Export' from under "System Managment" which I believe Kevin may have been hinting at. I got an xml export of the AttributeDefinitions for our user defined fields. In this file, there was a header for the attribute I was looking for:
<AttributeDefinition repo-type="API" name="LastSent" subtype="User Metadata">
<multiValued>
<backendName>usr_udf_lastsent</backendName>
I put the string "LastSent" in place of USR_UDF_LASTSENT in the EntityManager version of my attempt at this task. I believe this is what Kevin and delhi were getting at.
This didn't work:
Date today = new Date();
HashMap<String, Object> mapAttrs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
mapAttrs.put("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today);
EntityManager entMgr = Platform.getService(EntityManager.class);
entMgr.modifyEntity("User", currentUser.getEntityId(), mapAttrs);
But this did:
Date today = new Date();
HashMap<String, Object> mapAttrs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
mapAttrs.put("LastSent", today);
EntityManager entMgr = Platform.getService(EntityManager.class);
entMgr.modifyEntity("User", currentUser.getEntityId(), mapAttrs);
I wonder if currentUser.setAttribute("LastSent", today); would work... Hmm.
