I'm trying to modify the Cash Receipt report that can be used to email a "remittance" of sorts to customer that make payments. I've modified reports in GP before with success, however I'm not able to get any additional fields to show up/pull data on the report. Is there anything special about this report that others have seen? I can update text fields and move default fields around on the report to confirm changes are being made and the modified version is used, but adding a table/field will not pull the data.
The available fields in Report Writer are subject to the tables that are linked into the report... If you need more fields from other tables, you have to link them first, which isn't always obvious in RW.
You might have a quicker result by using SSRS and using one of Victoria Yudin's pre-backed SQL views..
Without checking the actual source code, I would say that the report is using a temporary table and only populating the fields used on the report.
So, creating relationships to other tables might not work if the key fields used are not populated.
Try dragging any fields you are trying to use onto the report to see if they have values.
With GP Power Tools it might be possible to either populate other fields in the temporary table, or use custom RW functions to return any additional data needed to the report.
