Print Invoice via SDK

[Former Member]

Goal:

Print Invoices Programmatically using SAPBobsCOM.

Business GOAL

Generate all invoices and dump the pdf files to a network share.

Facts : A Layout Design is set for Invoice in B1 and If I go to print preview via B1 everything works fine.

I would really appreciate if any of you SAP Guru's can shed some light on this challenging task . Is it even possible ?

Hi Imran,

One way is you can design Crystal Report and you can export them into PDF file using customisation.

This easy way.

Imran,

While you have the ability to use the ReportLayout Servive to get a layout of a report for the PLD, you have no method currently via the SDK to take data and push it into a report so you can print from within Business one.

Apologies ...

Is there any news on this one?

so you can't export any format with itext

but you can use a image of your layout as a background and draw the values on absolute positions but you can have troubles on printing :s.

another way is to make the same layout with i text that's more sure

i didn't work with the sbo pdf before but i think that you can use it on your di api there is a patch or something for this

hello,

i think it's better that you use the itextsharp dll you can use it in vb.net to generate pdf files directly to your network shared folder

We already have a form (Design Layout) created in SAP Business One which we use to print invoices for our customers.

Is there a way I can import that format and use itextsharp dll to generate the pdf.
