Open Report Design in Visual Studio from Custom Report Layouts

You may have noticed that when we try to edit Report Layout from Custom Report Layouts Page, it always open in Word or Report Builder no direct option to edit it in Visual Studio.

This requirement leaded to the necessity of the below customization, It can be done other ways also but the easiest way to do it one which i am going to discuss in my today’s post. Hope you will like it.

CustRepLayout-1

I have provided with the option where user can select the desired Editor either he wants to open it in Report Builder or Visual Studio.

To achieve this i have added one field in Table 9650 – Custom Report Layout with desired options as shown below.

CustRepLayout-2

And made this field available in Page Custom Report Layouts – 9650 as shown below.

CustRepLayout-3

Now in Codeunit 9652 – Edit RDLC Report Layout I have replaced the code shown in Yellow with the code shown in Red box.

CustRepLayout-4

CustRepLayout-5

Setting different Column Layout for different users

On Community Forum i came across one requirement for opening Page with different column on Page for different users.

Here i have given an demo how can be done, but will require some tweaking to achieve the actual result.

I have copied the Customer List Page and removed extra fields.

Playing with columns1

I have added one Field above Repeater so that we can decide which format we want to see on screen. User can enter 1/2/or any other value.

I have created two more variables Set1 and Set2 to show/hide fields as per the value entered in SetSelect.

Assigned the Set1 & Set2 to few columns on the Page Fields to Property Visible.

Set1 to Responsibility Center, Location Code & Currency Code.

Set2 to Post Code, Country/Region Code, Phone No. & Fax No.

Added code on OnOpenPage Trigger to select Default page Format when Page is Opened. This code you will modify as per your requirement like check the User and assign the default Value.

Added Code to SetSelect-OnValidate Trigger to select the required format of Page. You need to modify the code as per your requirement.

Playing with columns2

In this demo if user enter value for SetSelect and you will get different view of same page.

Do some research and design one as per your requirement, this way we need not to create different Pages for different Users. Same Page can serve you different purpose if limited to only different views.

I will come with more information in my upcomming posts.

Till then keep browsing and learning.

Corfu Navision 2016, Functional Tips, How To, Information, Tip & Tricks

Create Production Orders for/from Sales Order

One of my reader have requested to demonstrate how he can create Sales Order which is directly associated with Sales Order.

Let us start with creating a Sales Order:

ProdOrder-1

Here you can see we don’t have Available Inventory to fulfil the demand of this Order.

ProdOrder-2

To fulfil the demand we will create Production Order for this Order.

Select Planning from Action TAB on Ribbon.

Sales Order Planning Window Opens, Select Create Production Order.

ProdOrder-3

Select the Status for Production Order as desired.

For Order Type you have 2 Options

  1. Item Order – Production Order is created for each Item on Lines
  2. Project Order – Single Production order for Entire Order

Select the desired option and respond to Yes.

ProdOrder-4

I have Selected Released & Project Order in my case.

ProdOrder-5

You can check that Quantity to be produced is reserved for this Order.

There could be the situation where you may have few Inventory available, in that case you need to reserve the quantity from Function before creating Production Order else all quantity will be created. In other case only short quantity will be a quantity of Production Order.

ProdOrder-6

Select the line from available lines in Item Ledger Entries (e.g. on hand inventory) and by using the ‘Reserve from Current Line’ function you can reserve those against the sales order line.  The ‘Reserved Quantity’ then gets updated and you can see the rest in the ‘Unreserved Quantity’ field.

ProdOrder-7

Although in this case entire line is already reserved from the Production Order.

But in case you want to reserve from any available Inventory in hand from Ledger entry.

This was one of the way how you can perform Creating Production Order and Reserving for Sales Order.

We can do the same by another way as below, directly creating Production Order for this Sales Order.

ProdOrder-8

Create a Production Order Select Source Type as Sales Header and Source No as Sales Order No.

Then Refresh the Production Order.

ProdOrder-9

 

 

ProdOrder-10

 

This way we can create and Reserve the Item for required demand.

I will come with more details in my upcoming posts.
