Hi all,

I’m new on Axapta.

Have you any idea about to start different Reports from a single Menu item: I need this because I would like to open different custom reports (ie SalesInvoice) based on Company.

Thanks for help

you can simple assign the menu item to a class instead of a report. and in the class, depending on whatever you want, open different reports.

Hi Vanya,

thank you for your answer.I check your solution and I work on reportRunClass method of ClassFactory class.In the following code you find my solution.

ReportRun reportRunClass(Args args)  
{

#AOT  
str reportName = args.name();  
str reportNameNew;  
Report tmpReport;  
TreeNode reportNode = TreeNode::findNode(#ReportsPath);  
;

// if a report called _exists run it  
// otherwise run the standard one  
reportNameNew = curext() +’_’ + reportName;  
tmpReport = reportNode.AOTfindChild(reportNameNew);

if (tmpReport)  
{  
args.name(reportNameNew);  
}

return new sysReportRun(args);  
}

Please let me know if in your knowledge this is ok.

Thank you again!

Well, actually I was thinking there are only a couple of reports like that, and was intending for a more “local” solution, with a separate class launching reports, but I guess this is Ok and should work as well.

And if you have a lot of reports that have to be Company\_based, than it’s the perfect way to do it, I guess.
