Hide 0 Quantity lines in a Word report (Sales Invoice)

Posted on by PC-25110502-0

Hi,

I am having an issue trying to hide any lines in a bespoke Sales Invoice Word report (Done by another partner & was copied from the standard Sales Invoice) that have a quantity of 0. Is this possible in Word reports?

I know it is straightforward to do for RDLCs.

I also know there is a boolean option on the request page, ideally we want this to default to true but I am unable to modify this property via the report extension for this bespoke report as they don't have this variable as protected.

Any suggestions to resolve either would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Zhu,

Thanks for responding! The customer was using a bespoke report that was copied from the original but they didn't make that var protected so I couldn't modify. They also didn't want to have to tick the var every time.

Yi, your new suggestion worked :)

Thanks to everyone who replied, appreciate it!

Hello,

Thanks for further clarifying the request.

You can try this, I only did one sampling test and I have show the result below.

reportextension 50001 MyExtension extends "DOP Standard Sales - Invoice" { dataset { modify(Line) { trigger OnAfterPreDataItem() begin SetFilter(Quantity, '>0'); end; } } }

What I did was force filtering the posted sales invoice lines dataset with quantity more than 0.

Thank Yi Yong for the reply, I have updated the post now as my previous description of the situation wasn't accurate. Apologies on that.

The pre report trigger won't work for this as the partner who done this report didn't make that var protected so I am unable to access it via a report extension.

Hello,

You can use reportext to set the boolean to true.

reportextension 50001 MyExtension extends "Standard Sales - Invoice" { trigger OnPreReport() begin HideLinesWithZeroQuantity := true; end; }
