Report selection

Hello,

In the Report Selection form, it is possible to enter multible reports with sequence 1, 2, 3… When are the reports other than the first in use?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Petan,

Yes, that is the reason this form is multiline. Note - be careful not to leave a blnak line - it will give you a runtime error that report 0 doesn’t exist. It runs the reports in sequence.

But can you give an example of when this functionality comes into use? When I print a report it always uses the report with sequence 1.

Hi Petan,

It depends on the requirements - for example you might want to print a cover letter when printing a quote and would have the two report printing in sequence.

If I add an additional report to the Sales Invoice (sequence 2) it only prints the first not the second. I dont see the effect.

Hi Petan,

Did you use the post+print option? - this is where the report selection is fired from.

Also the second report will need to have a dataitem based on the Sales Invoice Header table.

I see it now. It prints both when using the Post+print, but if i select a invoice allready posted, it has no effect.

Thanks.
