Export PLD to MS Word format

[Former Member]

Hello SAP B1 Xperts,

I have set the following path in MS Word Temp folder as:

C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\WordDocs\English\

and even tried with:

C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\WordDocs\ (I have full auth. and trying from manager id)

When I click on MS Word icon to export any doc., it neither asks where to save it, nor gets AutoOpen.

Please suggest me, as of where are these exported docs are getting saved.

Because when i again click on the MS Word icon for the same sales Order, it shows a dialogue box with message

"Document named ORDR 360.doc already exists. Replace with a new name?" with 3 buttons Open Existing/Replace/Cancel.

This 'Open Existing' too not working.

Please suggest if any Settings part I am missing out.

Awaiting Xpert Comments...

Thanks in Adv.

Hi Papil,

Make sure you cleanup all your temporary files under temporary folders.

Hello All,

Solved.

Actually when I clicked on 'Open Existing' button on that Dialogue box, it opened a Word file 'Docmnhl1.doc' from the specified path. Its a template designed for conversion. To get the PLD converted into MS Word, first, we need to 'Enable the Macros' settings in MS Word doc. Then only it gets converted according to the template.

Well, Thanx for all the expert comments.

Solved !!!

Hi Papil..........

The path you have defined in General Setting the files first saves in this path.....

Hi Rahul,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I have checked in that too, but no luck. In fact, I have searched the whole disk with that filename, but couldn't find it.

Hi......

Do one thing.

Re define the Path of MS Word in General Setting of your Local PC and then try to see whether you can find the attachment or not......

Hi,

Try mapping the IP server or SAP Server directory then save .

Example :

SERVER\SAP\SAP Business One\WordDocs\

Thanks.

Hi Clint...

Try both ways, but not working. Still it shows 'Document ***.doc already exists.'

Hi,

When shows 'Document ***.doc already exists.'

Just overwrite the filename.

Thanks.
