User Defined Field Print Layout Designer print problem

[former_member370944]

I am having a problem with a user defined field in the Business Partner - Addresses table. The user defined field is a "directions" text field that is intended to print on packing slips generated from the sales order. When I use the PLD to add the UDF in the header or in the table, all data lines in the body of the report repeat.

Please advise if others are seeing this and what work around or SAP plans exist to resolve.

Hi Glen,

I'm not sure about your printing issue but, as a workaround, you could create a UDF on the sales order header and use a formatted search to bring through the directions text from the selected address to the order. You could then add the order header UDF to the PLD layout. It does mean you are doubling up on some data (ie it's stored on the address and the order) but it'll get you round this problem.

Kind Regards,

Hi Glen,

I am facing the same problem.

I need to add UDFs in Business Partners - Addresses at row level. The field will be used for some Taxation Nos. like CST, LST, VAT. I have tried to add. the fields are added and data saved too.

But when I am going to PLD of Invoice and tried to get, the Business Partners - Addresses Table not showing in the list.

Shell I have your help to resolve this.

Thanks a lot.

With Warm Regards,

Chintesh,

To access the UDF you set up, there is a special way to access all tables and fields in SAP from the PLD.

Try this from within the PLD:

On the Content Tab of the Properties window:

• hold down the Alt Key, then click the Column drop-down menu; click again to close the drop down list

• hold down the Alt Key, then click the Table drop-down menu

This will open up selection of all tables.

Kind regards,

Glen
