Hi all,

    Hello Sandra,

    The error message says that the purchase order inquiry ID is not correctly bound.

    Can you check your model and ensure that this field is correctly mapped/bound?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response. Maybe I am a little confused then.

    In my model, I see Purchase order inquiry reference item is root node Order.

    I have added "Purchase" definition in the "Model to datasource mapping". Inside that designer, I see that "PurchaseOrderInquiry: Record list" is not binded to anything. Would I add the data model source "Order" root?

    Hello Sandra,

    What D365FO version do you operate?

    Have you made any modifications to the electronic reports or just downloaded them from LCS?

    Can you share the version of the electronic report (simple screenprint from the electronic reporting workspace where we can see the version number).

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    Here are some more screenshots of my model

    pastedimage1594492882932v1.png

    Reference item is "Order" root node.

    I added "Purchase" definition

    pastedimage1594492922579v2.png

    Inside the designed I added data model "Order" and binded "purchaseorderinquiry" to that data model

    Good morning Sandra, 

    I tried running this report in my demo environment and things worked. 

    Here a short summary of that I did. 

    Step 1: Ensure that you have the latest version imported in your ER workspace

    Step 2: Print management setup 

    er2.jpg

    Step 3: Create PO, confirm it and print the confirmation

    Result: The report is created without error

    Can you please test that you have the same version / KB of the report downloaded from LCS?

    Also, I run this in a PU35 machine. If you are on an older version try to replicate it in the most recent version. 

    Best regards, 

    Ludwig

    Good morning Ludwig,

    So thank you for setting up in your environment! This issue is more when I derive a PO from the MS given PO.

    I cannot make any changes adding a cell/range with out getting this error

    pastedimage1594566001104v1.png

    If I then delete it in the ER workspace(cancel what I was attempting to do), the same error wont go away.

    If I try added the cell/range in the ER workspace, I cant navigate away because the newly added cell/range "does not exist in Excel sheet 'PurchaseOrder'"

    I tried binding it to data, that didn't work. I'm not focusing on adding any new data to the report/data model so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

    The error I showed in my original post was from trying to run my derived PO with an additional cell.

    Hi Sandra,

    Personally, I prefer to work directly in the electronic reporting workspace and not in the Excel designer because you have kind of limited options there.

    If you want to add a cell/range then I would create a copy of the MS default report because you won't be able modifying the MS stuff because of the provider name.

    Once you have that copy created, download the Excel attachment, make the changes and upload it again.

    That's the fastest and easiest option in my opinion.

    When doing that you have to make sure that the old template is removed and that the file name is updated. Otherwise, you will get error messages.

    Probably start easy and simply color a cell in the Excel sheet to see how this works.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Right. I have added my own text in places and changed text colors and that worked great!

    I just have one more question. I have seen in some blogs of needing and derived import/export format based model for format mapping.

    Is that only needed if you are creating a root model not derived from MS models?

    Or do you need that when adding cells/ranges as well?

    Thanks!
