Hello I am attempting to link data that is connected to a task on a project report using the text editor.
So far I have this as my code:
displayname=Recvd Medical Rates
linkedname=project:tasks
namekey=DE:Documentation Received Date
querysort=project:tasks:Document - Medical Rates:Documentation Received Date
textmode=true
valuefield=Documentation Received Date
valueformat=customDateAsString
I need to display data from a specific task within a specific custom form on a project report. I know there is no standard method of linking a project with a task, but the relationship is there and from my research It seems possible. I believe that I do not have the correct syntax.
Can somebody please help me with this. I have tried all types of combinations, I even tried adding the aggregator:
aggregator.displayformat=customDateAsString
aggregator.function=MIN
aggregator.namekey=Documentation Received Date
aggregator.valuefield=DE:Documentation Received Date
aggregator.valueformat=customDateAsAtDate
Either way I try and link the information the actual entered data will not display. So far the report knows that it is a date field; I know this because I am able click into the field on the project report and choose a date, but the date will not remain selected once I have chosen it leading me to believe that the field is somehow linked, but done incorrectly.
Please help.
The answer is below:
displayname=Plans and Benefits Received
listdelimiter=
listmethod=nested(tasks).lists
textmode=true
type=iterate
valueexpression=IF(CONTAINS("Plans and Benefits",{name}),{actualCompletionDate})
valueformat=HTML
So how does it work? see below.
displayname=Plans and Benefits Received
^display name that you want^
listdelimiter=
^decides delimiter^
listmethod=nested(tasks).lists
^Calls the nested or sub task^
textmode=true
^allows text editor mode to function^
type=iterate
^make data display as an iteration of original^
valueexpression=IF(CONTAINS("Plans and Benefits",{name}),{actualCompletionDate})
^determines where the data is being pulled from^
valueformat=HTML
^Format set to HTML^

I have modified some VB sample code to get most of what I need done using the QuickBooks SDK in an app launched from Excel using VBA. I am able to produce both a Time by Job Summary report and a Job Estimates vs. Actuals report, but for the latter I need to produce filtered copies of it for each customer:job reference number, and I'm not sure what the proper syntax is for this even after looking over the specific query in the API Reference for QB Desktop.
I'm fairly sure that this needs to be done during the request phase. Also, I'm using QBFC, so I have tried various combinations that seem logical, but still haven't received the desired output. If it helps, an example of what is needed for the filter would be like: 20-5050 Dan Barton Trucks. Below is my code for the request:
Set jobRQ = requestSet.AppendJobReportQueryRq
customerRef = "20-5050 Dan Barton Trucks"
With jobRQ
.JobReportType.SetValue ENJobReportType.jrtJobEstimatesVsActualsSummary
.ReportEntityFilter.ORReportEntityFilter.EntityTypeFilter.SetValue etfCustomer
' .ReportEntityFilter.ORReportEntityFilter.FullNameList.Add (customerRefID)
.ORReportPeriod.ReportPeriod.FromReportDate.SetValue dateFrom
.ORReportPeriod.ReportPeriod.ToReportDate.SetValue dateTo
.SummarizeColumnsBy.SetValue scbTotalOnly
.IncludeSubcolumns.SetValue True
.DisplayReport.SetValue True
End With
I have commented out the line that doesn't work.
looking for help on what should be a very basic function. I am trying to get a SUM of a specific value, however I do not seem to get the syntax correct.
Here is what I have
=Sum(Fields!PriorYearSalesDollars.Value - Sum(Fields!PriorYearCost.Value
+Sum(Fields!PriorYearFrtCost.Value)))
However I get an error when trying to sum. Is there another way to test this also? Each time I modify the expression I then have to save the report and upload to the report server and test again. If I do it through the preview function in visual studio it throws a generic error on the whole report. When running from report server, just this specific column shows #Error
This is the syntax that works after FIRST changing the column format to numbers where I accidentally did it as currency first. Not sure why currency didn't work, but this is correct.
=Sum(Fields!PriorYearSalesDollars.Value) - (Sum(Fields!PriorYearCost.Value) + Sum(Fields!PriorYearFrtCost.Value))
I have been using NetSuite for only a short time, and already hate it. I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but I haven't been able to find an answer so far, either in the Netsuite docs, StackOverflow or other websites. In fact, the answers I found have resulted in an error.
My company requires a script to transfer inventory based on an EDI input file. Reading the file is no problem, even parsing it is working. However, actually inserting the data is proving problematic.
I have been able to insert normal records, but Inventory Transfer records are giving me problems.
From Stack Overflow I found and adapted some code into the following:
var xfer = nlapiCreateRecord("inventorytransfer");
xfer.setFieldValue("trandate", FormatDate("20160101"));
xfer.setFieldValue("location", 9);
xfer.setFieldValue("transferlocation", 9);
nlapiSelectNewLineItem('invt');
nlapiSetLineItemValue("invt","invtid",1, 189);
nlapiSetLineItemValue("invt","adjustqtyby", 1, "5");
nlapiCommitLineItem('invt');
var id = nlapiSubmitRecord(xfer);
The FormatDate function just exchanges the date from the text file into a system date NetSuite can understand.
However, when I run this code I get the following error:
USER_ERROR: You must enter at least one line item for this transaction.
I thought inserting the line item was the reason to use nlapiSelectNewLineItem, but I guess not. Also nlapiCreateNewLineItem doesn't seem to exist.
The values I am inserting are all just test data, as I'm testing this in the debugger. Location 9 exists, as does item 189.
My full script finds these id's based on string values from the text files. But since this is the section that doesn't work I have set it apart to test.
Can anyone help with this?
You did not specify the type of script you are using, but, looks like you are not setting the fields on the record object, but, setting the value on current record. Below, is the suggested code.
Also, there is no sublist named invt, it should be inventory. Also, there is no field as such invtid, I think most probably you want to setup item, the field Id should be item. You might want to refer SuiteScript Record Browser as well for a help on correct Ids
var xfer = nlapiCreateRecord("inventorytransfer");
xfer.setFieldValue("trandate", FormatDate("20160101"));
xfer.setFieldValue("location", 9);
xfer.setFieldValue("transferlocation", 9);
xfer.selectNewLineItem('inventory');
xfer.setCurrentLineItemValue("inventory", "item", 189);
xfer.setCurrentLineItemValue("inventory","adjustqtyby", "5");
xfer.commitLineItem('inventory');
var id = nlapiSubmitRecord(xfer);

I have a strange behavior: an agent called via an AJAX request should search documents to display in a calendar. For that reason I compute a search formula and then run the search method of my database in Lotusscript. This is the formula:
form="mholiday" | form="mserviceevent" | (form="mereignis" & co_status!="9") & #texttotime(#text(startdatetime)) >= [29.09.2014] & #texttotime(#text(enddatetime)) =< [10.11.2014]
Everything's fine on Domino on Windows but fails with "formula error" on a Linux machine. Am I missing something?
If I omit the term with the dates everything is fine, so this is the part that causes the error.
Try it with #ToTime() and #Date() instead. That might help to get away from local settings' influence on server:
... & #ToTime(startdatetime) >= #Date(2014; 9; 29) & ...
#ToTime() doesn't convert the field if it's a date time value already.
#Date doesn't depend on local settings whereas [29.09.2014] probably does.
I don't think it's a Linux problem, I think it's a data problem. It sounds like either a date format problem or a problem with the UNK table, used by full text search.
If the first document created on that server that had a field called "startdatetime" had a text value, then any search expects "startdatetime" to be a text value, even if there is another field in the database called startdatetime that is a date or the startdatetime field is subsequently changed to be a date. To confirm this, you can use the search bar and select the field. The operators it offers will confirm if it's expecting a date or a text value. See this answer for details on how to resolve "Query is not understandable" - Full text searching where field types have changed.
Alternatively, it may be a problem with the date format, as Knut says. In which case a test for 9/9/2014 would work but 29/9/2014 wouldn't.
I have exported the contents of a table with transaction SE16, by selecting all the entries and going selecting Download, unconverted.
I'd like to import these entries into another system (where the same table exists and is active).
Furthermore, when I import, there's a possibility that the specific key already exists for a number of entries (old entries).
Other entries won't have a field with the same key present in the table where they're to be imported (new entries).
Is there a way to easily update my table in the second system with the file provided from the first system? If needed, I can export the data in the 3 other format types (Spreadsheet, Rich text format and HTML format). It seems to me though like the spreadsheet and rich text formats sometimes corrupt the data, and the html is far too verbose.
[EDIT]
As per popular demand, the table i'm trying to export / import is a Z table whose fields are all numeric, character, date or time fields (flat data types).
I'm trying to do it like this because the clients don't have any basis resource to help them transport, and would like to "kinna" automate the process of updating one of the tables in one system.
At the moment it's a business request to do it like this, but I'm open to suggestions (and the clients are open too)
Edit
Ok I doubt that what you describe in your comment exists out of the box, but you can easily write something like that:
Create a method (or function module if that floats your boat) that accepts the following:
iv_table name TYPE string and
iv_filename TYPE string
This would be the method:
method upload_table.
data: lt_table type ref to data,
lx_root type ref to cx_root.
field-symbols: <table> type standard table.
try.
create data lt_table type table of (iv_table_name).
assign lt_table->* to <table>.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
exporting
filename = iv_filename
has_field_separator = abap_true
changing
data_tab = <table>
exceptions
others = 4.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
"Some appropriate error handling
"message id sy-msgid type 'I'
" number sy-msgno
" with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2
" sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
return.
endif.
modify (p_name) from table <table>.
"write: / sy-tabix, ' entries updated'.
catch cx_root into lx_root.
"lv_text = lx_root->get_text( ).
"some appropriate error handling
return.
endtry.
endmethod.
This would still require that you make sure that the exported file matches the table that you want to import. However cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload should return sy-subrc > 0 in that case, so you can bail out before you corrupt any data.
Original Answer:
I'll assume that you want to update a z-table and not a SAP standard table.
You will probably have to format your datafile a little bit to make it tab or comma delimited.
You can then upload the data file using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
Then if you want to overwrite the existing data in the table you can use
modify zmydbtab from table it_importeddata.
If you do not want to overwrite existing entries you can use.
insert zmydbtab from table it_importeddata.
You will get a return code of sy-subrc = 4 if any of the keys already exists, but any new entries will be inserted.
Note
There are many reasons why you would NOT do this for a SAP-standard table. Most prominent is that there is almost always more to the data-model than what we are aware of. Also when creating transactional data, there are often follow-on events or workflow that kicks off, that will not be the case if you're updating the database directly. As a rule of thumb, it is usually a bad idea to update SAP standard tables directly.
In that case try to find a BADI, or if that's not available, record a BDC and do the updates that way.
If the system landscape was setup correctly, your client would not need any kind of basis operations support whatsoever to perform the transports. So instead of re-inventing the wheel, I'd strongly suggest to catch up on what the CTS and TMS can do once they're setup with sensible settings.
