SavesAS Function & File Management in Business Central On-Prem (ver16)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Hot Potato 25

I am currently working on a Packing List report that needs to save as pdf automatically in a particular path in our server upon click of an action button in a Sales Order. I am new to development, I have tried following the saveaspdf method in the Microsoft website however when the action button was ticked now, an I/O Error shows even when I already deleted the codes I have done in the Visual Studio Code. Is there any sample code you can advise to achieve the first scenario I have mentioned above? Another twist to this is that, it should only save when the sell-to customer code is equal to Customer 1, Customer 2 & Customer 3...help me please! Will File Management Code Unit help me with this? Thank you in advance!

    Thank you for helping me with this, I was able to achieve what you have shown on your video and it is really a great help for me. However, they instead of saving it in my C:Drive, they want that saved in a a certain location in our Server, like \\RAKFILESERVER\WAREHOUSE\PACKING LIST. Is there any way for this? Thank you soooo much!

    Hi, The Report.SaveAsPdf method should be fine in the On-Pre version. It's a little weird.

    Well, can the solution below give you some hints? Just using Report.SaveAs(Integer, Text, ReportFormat, var OutStream [, RecordRef) Method.

    pageextension 50100 ZYSalesOrderExt extends "Sales Order List"
{
    actions
    {
        addafter("Print Confirmation")
        {
            action(SaveConfirmationAsPdf)
            {
                Caption = 'Save Confirmation As Pdf';
                ApplicationArea = All;
                Image = Export;
                Promoted = true;
                PromotedCategory = Category8;
                PromotedIsBig = true;
                trigger OnAction()
                var
                    TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob";
                    FileManagement: Codeunit "File Management";
                    OStream: OutStream;
                    SalesHeader: Record "Sales Header";
                    RecRef: RecordRef;
                begin
                    SalesHeader.Reset();
                    Clear(OStream);
                    CurrPage.SetSelectionFilter(SalesHeader);
                    RecRef.GetTable(SalesHeader);
                    TempBlob.CreateOutStream(OStream);
                    Report.SaveAs(Report::"Standard Sales - Order Conf.", '', ReportFormat::Pdf, OStream, RecRef);
                    FileManagement.BLOBExport(TempBlob, 'Sales Order_'   UserId   '_'   Format(CurrentDateTime, 0, '')   '.pdf', true);
                end;
            }
        }
    }
}

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    HI, thank you for the link, however we don't need it to run a request page. It should saves automatically upon click of an action in our Sales Header Page. I have tried creating the code however when I run it an error "An I/O exception occurred during the operation" pops up when I click the Action Button "Create WMS Shipment" in the Sales Header. Below is the sample code that I have created, can you please tell me where I gone wrong?

    I would really appreciate your help on this. . Thank you.
