To remove an XML tag from a Navision-generated XML document, you can use an XML parser or an XML editor tool. Here are the general steps you can follow:

  1. Open the XML document using an XML editor or a text editor that supports XML syntax highlighting.
  2. Locate the XML tag that you want to remove. Check if the tag has any attributes or child nodes.
  3. Delete the entire XML tag, including the opening and closing tags and any attributes or child nodes associated with it.
  4. Save the modified XML document.

Note that deleting an XML tag can affect the structure and integrity of the XML document. Therefore, it is advisable to make a backup copy of the original XML document before making any changes. Additionally, make sure that you are not removing any essential data or tags that are required for processing the XML document correctly.

Hi @Rajan_Rajan,

Did you resolve this problem?

How do you generate this xml file? Have you created a process (codeunit or report) to create xml?

This is for C/AL or AL extension (you mention “navision”, and this is a bit confusion about the programming language used).

If you use xmldocument and other xml vars you can control what to put in the xml document. In case the xml document is created in advance, you can parse the XML file with this vars and remove the elements that you don’t need.
