PO (Purchase Order) With a Different Company Logo

How To PO (Purchase Order) With a Different Company Logo.

The case is like this: SAP B1 with 1 (one) database where in it is a holding company with a number of its subsidiaries, wanting that the PO (Purchase Order) document created has a logo in accordance with the company name.

After trying to finally find a solution to these needs, in fact this is a challenge for the writer where initially some friends had said that it was "not possible", but on the other hand & (most importantly of course) is the desire of the writer to help the Procurement Department print the PO that has been made directly from SAP B1.

Of course, if we look at the SAP B1 standard PO form layout it is not in accordance with the internal needs of the company, for that we can make it yourself in accordance with the desired model. In making it, the authors use Crystal Report 2008 which is the SAPA B1.

The following are the manufacturing steps:

2. Prepare pictures of a number of companies owned.
3. Save the image with a name according to the code of each company.
4. Save the image in an image file extension, for example JPG (the file size is small compared to BMP).
5. Create a folder on the SAP B1 Server to save the image.
6. Sharing of image folders created with full authorization.
7. Make the required PO form layout.
8. Create a formula in Crystal Report so that the image appears according to the company name.
9. Mapping network drives in each SAP B1 PC Client, with the letter drive in accordance with the formula made.

To make it easier to understand, the author attaches the following screen shoot images:

"Folder containing images created on Server-SAP B1"

"Mapping network drive in SAP B1 PC Client"

In the Crystal Report layout, enter an image of the company logo then right-click and select "Format Graphic ..."

"PO (Purchase Order) layout form created with Crystal Report"

Select the "Picture" tab then click the "Formula" icon, (note the author's circle).

Write "Formula" or the formula, remember that the drive letter written must be the same as the network drive mapping created on each SAP B1 PC Client, for example in this case: "V: \" + {SP_MU_PO; 1.U_Company} + ".JPG"

Note: V is a network drive letter mapping, {SP_MU_PO; 1.U_Company} is Store Procedure and .JPG is an image file extension.

"The formula for a PO (Purchase Order) to be printed in accordance with the company name"

Next is the final appearance of the PO, which will be printed with different company names.

So that I can share on this opportunity, hopefully useful!
