What is Report layout?

Hi Ajay,
The information shown on line item reports (SAP describes them as list displays) can be controlled using a report Layout. A Report Layout specifies the sequence of line items should be shown on and their positioning on the list etc.
Cost centre line item reports are one of the more commonly used list displays but vendor, customer and general ledger line item reports are also list displays.

Huge delay in Printing Crystal Report Layout

Good Day Experts,
I am experiencing big delays when printing a document that makes use of a Crystal Report Layout Design.
For example,
The Sales Quote is set to automatically print when added by the user.
When clicking 'Add', SAP freezes up and only about 30 seconds later does the printer finally print the document.
During that time, the user cannot use SAP at all.
The layout does have a lot of fields and a few formulas here and there.
Logically, I am thinking that that is the reason for the delay, as SAP needs to calculate and populate those fields.
Is there any other way that I could speed up this process? Or if you know what might be causing this speed issue?
Your assistance will be appreciated,
Thanks
Regards
Dario

Oracle bi publisher report for apex - Report Layout

Hi There,
Navigation: Home>Application Builder>Application 20>Shared Components>Report Layouts
I created rtf template for a Report Query. It worked fine upto certain point.
However at some point, if I make a minor modification to the layout it is not displaying all the data that it is supposed to.
I have 3 tables in my RTF template 1) Header 2) Details 3) Summary. Details section has a group. This runs fine.
Now if I just combine all the above 3 tables into one by adding row above and row below to the "2) details" table and moving the table 1 and table 3 into those rows, makes the data in the group in table 2 disappear when run on the apex application.
However it works fine when data is loaded on the RTF template and Preview --> PDF is seen.
Is it a known bug? Because some of my coleagues has same issues.
Thanks
Krishna

Are those fields in the corresponding report query? change to the design of the document? did you delete the old template and re-upload after making the changes?
Moreover the preview on the RTF template works fine with the same data.Preview from where?

Custom Report Layout with mutliple child tables

I am trying to create a custom report layout (using Bi Publisher) where I have parent data (multiple jobs on a page) and several child tables for each job (JobDays and JobStops) and several child tables for JobDays (JobDayProviders, JobDayCrew). On the apex screen, I have a join on Jobs and JobDays and I am using functions to string each child row value for JobDayProviders and JobDayCrew together and putting a <br> in between so that they will format on separate lines within a cell. It works fine on the screen but when trying to print to pdf, it ignores these line breaks. I have also tried using <br></br> (saw an article that said just use HTML in bi pulisher) which puts two lines in between each value on the screen and is still ignored on the pdf.
for example:
Table hierarchy:
Jobs table
Job Stops
Job Days
Job Day Service Providers
Job Day Crew
Report Layout per job (will have mutlipe jobs to print, just printing 1 day per job):
Jobs.col1 JobStops.row1 JobDay.col1 JobDayProviders.row1 JobDayCrew.r1
JobStops.row2 JobDayProviders.row2 JobDayCrew.r2
JobDayProviders.row3
Thanks,
Linda
First, is there a way to get bi publisher to recognize the line breaks? If not, what is the best way to create a custom report for this scenario? I tried to create a report query with mutliple queries, but cannot determine how to link the child queries to the paren query. I have seen an example where a button is pressed to print one parent row and the id of that row is saved and referenced as a parameter in each of the queries, but if printing mutliple parents on a report, how would I link the child queries to the parent query?

Helen,
The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
UNION
SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
</tr>

<TR><TD></TD></TR>
this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
with kind regards,
naqvi

Hi all,

Crystal Report Layout

Hi Expert.
I created a report layout in crystal report that I will be attaching in an add-on program which is a document type for report viewing via PLD. However, as i was setting up my layout in the report layout manager, I cannot point my layout in the document addon that I created.
Is there a way to add my addon in the list of modules in the report layout manager?

No it is not possible.
What you can do: import you crystal layout as "normal report" and active the menu when you would like to print out the document. You can pass parameters, and show the print preview. then you can click on print button via code.

Number of Copies in Crystal Report Layout

Hi all,
Is it possible to show the number of copy in a Crystal Report layout?
I mean: I am creating an invoice layout in Crystal Reports for SAP Business One 8.8.
Customer wants to print always 3 copies, but with the word "Copy" in second and third document.
I can set the number of printed copies but... is it possible to include a reference of what number of copy is every document?
Sorry for any language mistake.
Kind Regards,
Toni Dorta

Hi Toni,
If the customer always prints 3 copies of the Invoice, here is what you could do. You could design your Crystal Report to always print 3 copies. That is, if your Invoice has 1 page, then design your Crystal Report to Print 3 pages every time. On the 2nd and 3rd page, you include the word "Copy" to indicate that they are copies.
Once you have modified the report, change the No: of Printed copies to 1. This when the customer prints the report, it will always print 3 copies of the report and have the word "Copy" on the 2nd and 3rd invoices.
Hope this helps.

Report print attributes - custom report layout

Hi there,
I've looked for this information in the web and in this forum without luck so far...
We have here BI Publisher and I use the "Enable Report Printing" option in a traditional report in Apex 4.0.2. That works great.
But instead of using the "Default Report Layout", I want to use a custom one based on a RTF file. However I have no idea what the data XML looks like in order to build a custom layout.
To be clear: if you go to Shared Components > Report Queries, you have a Download XML Data option so you can build your report layout based on the XML structure. For instance, you can use <?for-each:ROWSET1_ROW?>, <?COLUMN_NAME?> etc
Any ideas about what that XML structure is for a traditional report?
Thanks
Luis

Found it: change temporarily the output format to XML and download the report. The XML structure is all there. Very helpful to know that all page items are included in the XML as well. It would be good to have this functionality detailed somewhere in the Apex documentation.
What I still need to know is how to access the substitution strings below in my RTF (NOT XSL-FO) template:
Select Default Report Layout to use the built-in generic report layout.
To use a custom generic report layout, select it from the list.
You can use the following substitution strings when building custom XSL-FO report layouts:
#PAGE_HEADER#
#PAGE_HEADERFONT_COLOR#
#PAGE_HEADER_FONT_FAMILY#
...Any ideas?

BI Publisher Report Layout Get Distorted when viewed in different format

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue while running BI Publisher Report.
The Report Layout work fine in one output format (PDF).
But when the same report is generated in different format it get distorted (HTML,EXCEL).
Could any one please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Is there any SR raised for this issue.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
I have faced a similar issue, Finally i created a different template for each output type, and tweaked each template through trial and error till the output it provided was what i was looking for in the specified output format, I had a different template for PDF and a different one for HTML. If I used the html optimised template for PDF out, there were all sorts of alignment issues, etc.and vice versa. As for the date format, you can set the parmeter correctly using the word date format properties.

How to set it up to use BI Publisher Report layout in APEX

Hi all,
I downloaded the xml file from APEX to create a BI Publisher report layout and uploaded it to APEX report layout in share component. When I click the test report button, nothing showed. Would you show me what else I need to do to make it work?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks much@

You need to use the desktop layout editor that works under Word to develop report layouts..

Can't see Report Layout in IE

Hi All,
When i am executing the report in report designer, the report is executing but cant see the layout of the report in IE . I can see all tools and options except report layout at portal and even i m not finding any error msg also. plz help in this regards.
Regards,
Kaushik

Hi Kaushik,
1) Are you facing the same problem with any other reports you format on report designer ?
What changes have you made to your report output?
Report Designer is a new feature of BI 7.0 and I know only the theory of it. You said you have checked with WAD..have you tried using this report which is having problem in WAD as 'Report Web item'?
There might be a setting that you need to do in report desginer or there is some additional installation to be done in order to support Report Designer (remember this is a new feature so even Basis or Protal teams are new to it!)
See these two items from help.sap,
4. Executing the Report
You execute the report in the portal (Web). The report is displayed in the standard Web template for reports. You can set the standard Web template for reports in Customizing for the standard Web templates at SAP NetWeaver ® Business Intelligence ® Reporting-Relevant Settings ®BEx Web ®Set Standard Web Templates ® Enterprise Report.
You can also create a print version of the report directly in the Report Designer. The report is converted into a PDF document, which you can then print.
5. Publishing the Report
You can publish reports in BI roles or as iViews in the portal.
You can also call the BEx Broadcaster from the Report Designer and broadcast reports. More information: Functions of the BEx Broadcaster
Also see this.
Use
When you display a report in the portal (Web), it is automatically embedded in the standard Web template for reports. The report is displayed in a table on the Web. In addition, a date in the upper area of the Web template indicates how current the data is. Using the standard pushbuttons provided, Information, Send, and Print Version, and the link Filter, you can access the most common functions for navigating in and further editing your report.
Integration
When you have created and saved a report in the Report Designer, choose (Execute): The report is displayed automatically in the portal using the standard Web template for reports.
From a technical perspective, the standard Web template for reports is based on the 0REPORT_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE Web template. This Web template is set as the default for displaying reports from the Report Designer in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide under SAP NetWeaver ® Business Intelligence ® Reporting-Relevant Settings ® BEx Web ® Set Standard Web Templates ® Enterprise Report. The standard Web template contains three pushbuttons, Information, Send and Print Version, and the link Filter to call the filter pane.
You can copy this Web template to make changes and set it as your new standard Web template for reports in the IMG. Note that to activate the changes in the SAP Reference IMG, you must start the J2EE Engine.
Here is the link.

All the best!

Custom Report LayOut in BI Publisher

I have uploaded an xml file to the word plugin in order to make a report layout.
I have inserted all the fields in one line. When I preview the report it shows only one line and not all data. What may be cause of the problem?

Hi -
1) Add Query just for column headings under Source Query (you can obviously pass in bind variables to select the correct column values if need be).
2) For layout, pull in the headers from data model (just like any other field) and use them to replace any existing "hard coded" headers.
Good luck.
