Hello,
I need to create a Document Report similar to a sales Invoice report (e.g Report 206) whereby in the report header I will need to display Customer name/address etc. and the header needs to be dynamic in case the report is being generated for several invoices.
I would like to know if it is still advised to use the GetData/Set data function same as done in Report 206 or I can treat the header inside the report body.
Can someone please advise which is a best practice or standard recommended solution between these 2.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers.
Hi Lenita,
A standard approach suggest you to use GetData/SetData. If you have tried in Nav 2013 you dont need to use these functions to get the data in header.
And yes, you can treat the header inside the report body.

U can also Use Reportitem!Field_name.Value…
This is also microsoft standard…
Great Thx everyone for your time and replies. From what I understood, I will need to stick to GetData and SetData since for 1 invoice there can be several pages and I require a dynamic header and also several invoices can be printed at 1 go.
