Adding Description_2 Field to Sales Quote Report

(4) ShareShare

Posted on by CU12010957-0 8
Hello, 
 
I've been leaning Dynamics 365 for my small shop CRM and could'nt find a clear post on adding (Description_2) field to "Sales Quote" report ,however I've managed to succesfully configured VSC and published a reportextension to make "Description_2" visible in exported word report XML and these were the issues that I've encountered.
 
There is a (description 2) field available in sales quote BC365 via personalization however, not visible in report. 
 
1. By looking at "Standard Sales Quote" definition in VSC, there is no "Description_2" field available in the source and maybe this is the reason why XML cannot link to BC365.
2. I've encounted an error as image attached.
 
 
Please advice, Thank you.

    Hello ,
     
    The error isn’t about Description 2 itself — it means your Word layout is bound to an XPath that doesn’t exist in the report dataset at runtime. After adding Description_2 via a reportextension, you must re-download the Word layout so the XML schema includes the new node, then re-map the field from the XML Mapping pane (don’t reuse old content controls). Also make sure Description_2 is added to the same Sales Line dataitem and mapped inside the repeating Line group in Word; otherwise Word can’t resolve it and throws UnknownDataBinding. This is standard BC Word layout behavior.

    Hi, hope the following helps.
    Dynamics 365 Business Central: Why are custom columns/fields added via Report Extension not found in standard layouts exported from Report Layouts page?
    Report extensibility (ReportExtension Object)
     
    Thanks.
