Problem description: Price results of BOM calculations not stored by configuration

Prices are not calculated by configuration nor stored as such when you activate them.

Solution: configure the BOM item for using combination cost price

The BOM item should be configured properly to be able to store cost and sales prices calculated with the BOM calculation functionality by configuration. To do so, go to the item form of the BOM item. Select the General tab. Check Use combination cost price in the Item dimensions – Setup field group.

Rerun the BOM calculation and your calculated prices will be stored by configuration:

Solution: remove the Document Properties with the Document Inspector

Probably, the Word document you are trying to upload is a Word document downloaded from another SharePoint document library. The source, original document library has probably other metadata (columns) than the document library to which you are trying to upload the Word document.

To fix this, remove these hidden metadata with the Document Inspector:

1. Open the Word 2007 document and click the Office 2007 button, located on the top-left of the window.
2. Choose Prepare –> Inspect Document, which will start the Document Inspector.
3. Check the box Document Properties and Personal Information, which will inspect hidden metadata saved with the document.
   
   
   
4. Choose Inspect.
5. Choose Remove All. This will remove all Document server properties and Content type information saved with the Word document.
   
   

Aferwards, you’ll be able to upload the Word document to your own SharePoint document libary.

Solution: registry modification

Nothing was changed to the Windows account used as default content access account. Pretty soon we realized that a Windows update had been executed recently on the SharePoint server. After this Windows update, the crawling process started to go in failure.

Searching thourgh Microsoft Help and Suppport, we found the Knowledge Base article to fix this error. Some loopback check needed to be disabled by modifying the registry of the SharePoint server.

After having followed the instructions of the Knowlege Base article, the SharePoint crawling process went again smoothly as before.

Step 1: Installation of the ChartPart for SharePoint.

A nice installation script can be found on CodePlex.

Some important remarks:

• You will need to install Microsoft .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET Framework to be able to use the ChartPart for SharePoint solution. 
• Add following line to the SafeControls section of the web.config file of your web application:
  

  <SafeControl Assembly="System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"  Namespace="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting" TypeName="*" Safe="True" AllowRemoteDesigner="True"/>      

  Else, you'll receive an error like The "ChartPartWebPart" Web Part appears to be causing a problem. Error executing child request for ChartImg.axd.

  

Step 2: Add the ChartPart for SharePoint Web Part to a Web Part Page.

You should have it in your Add Web Parts Web Page Dialog after having correctly installed it as described in Step 1.

Step 3: Configure The ChartPart Web Part.

You should define your Site where the SharePoint list resides on which you want to generate a chart first.

The List drop down box will be loaded automatically with the available SharePoint lists for the chosen SharePoint site.

You can limit the items to be represented in the rendered chart based on an existing SharePoint view.

Number fields can be chosen as X-Series. You can always choose an Item Count. In the Y-series you specify a column of your SharePoint list.

The Chart type can be set to different types such as Column, StackedColumn, Bar, StackedBar, ...

In this example, I have based my Chart on a OOTB Issue Tracking List in which I created some list items. The result looks like this:

We can finetune the Chart with some simple clicks in the standard Web Part User Interface:

You can change colors, width, height with just a few clicks. You can add a link to the source list to let end users jump immediately to the source list merely by clicking on the Chart. It jumps to the list view as selected previously.

After some finetuning, my Chart looks already more fancy as shown below:
