Dear experts,
I work with form processing in SAP Cloud ERP in conjunction with Adobe Livecycle Designer. I have now encountered a problem and hope you can help me.
I have created my own invoice form template based on the SAP standard invoice form template. This template requires two address blocks (ship-to-party and bill-to-party). The eight fields in the respective address blocks are text fields in which the binding of the respective business partner (bill-to-party or ship-to-party) has been provided with address lines 1-8.
After creating an invoice in the system, no PDF can be generated and I get an error message saying that this is a rendering problem. According to the error message, the fields (address lines 2-4 in the business partner) are declared as float, i.e., numeric, and therefore cannot be filled with alphanumeric values “string” (as is usual for an address).
However, since I need this option in order to be able to display Spanish addresses correctly, for example, I now need help.
If you need further information or screenshots, etc., please let me know! Otherwise, I would be grateful for any suggestions for a solution.
Request clarification before answering.
Hello @Sonja_Trapp
These SAP KBAs address this specific ADS rendering error:
KBA 3661092 — “ADS error invalid value for 'float' property.” Root cause and fix: field/binding typed as numeric but fed text; set the field to Text (string) or rebind to a string node. SAP Support Portal-3661092 - ADS error invalid value for 'float' property
KBA 3429684 — “ProcessingException: Invalid value: '' for 'float' property while previewing the form.” Same issue during preview; confirming that correcting the field type/format/binding resolves it. SAP Support Portal-3429684 - Error "ADS Render Failed [SYSTEM]ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: co...
Useful for identifying an incorrect node:
KBA 2161416 — “How to check the XML file (XFD) in runtime.” Shows how to capture runtime XML to pinpoint the offending field. SAP Support Portal-2161416 - How to check the XML file (XFD) in runtime on PDF generation
Let me know if it helps
