I am working on SAP Business One 8.82 (8.82.067) PL:05. While viewing A/R Invoice ,when I click on PDF button it gives error as,

Internal error (-50) occurred  [131-183]

The printer setting is correct.I can view the preview and print the report of the same A/R Invoice.But when I click in PDF button it gives me above error.

Hi Dilip,

Please refer SAP notes:

1239551 - Export to PDF fails

Symptom

Export to PDF not working without any error message.

Cause

When trying to generate a PDF of any Marketing Document/Report, the System
does not respond to the request; Generating of PDF fails without error
message

Solution

When using the new Function of 'Exporting to PDF'/'PDF Generation' the
following two settings need to be applied/checked:

1. Path needs to be defined via 'Administration->System
Initialisation->General Settings->Path->Attachment Folder

2. Path needs to be defined via 'Administration->System
Initialisation->General Settings->Path-> Picture Folder

3. The Windows User needs to have write/modify permission for the
folder
defined under 1 and 2.
(To check if the permission is correct,
access the folder and check if a new file could be saved)

Please Note that these Settings are also necessary when using the Email
Function as the attachments are generated as PDF and are also saved under the
above Path.

Other terms

SAP Busines One, PDF, Export to PDF, PDF Generation, Administration, Path,
User Rights, User Authorisations, User Permissions, Windows, no
response

Thanks & Regards,

Dear friends,

       Thanks for spending your valuable time in resolving my problem.The problem was permissions over the attachment folder.Once the rights were assigned to the folder, the pdf was created.

Hi,

I am getting similar problem when clicking the pdf icon to display a report which has a template of crystal report only. Paths are correctly set and can save file in both picture and attachment.

Please inform if there is a way to display the crystal report directly when clicking the pdf icon which was working in previous versions before the sap b1 9.0. So now i am actually in need to export the file to pdf then i will be able to view. Before it was faster to view directly.

Hi Dilip,

You need to define the Pictures folder as B1 considers pdf as images and every time you export a document to PDF, a copy of the same is saved in the path specified.

Thanks,

Joseph

Hi Dilip,

Did you defined path of the attachement folder?

Check under Admin-> System initilization-> General settings-> path tab.

Hope helpful.
