Posted on by 231

Hi everyone, 

   I created a word layout for customized report in Business Central. I added a new column in the report after publishing the column field is not showing in Word Layout. Is there any way to resolve it.

Default layout - Word, Word - The Path where the word file located.

I have the same question (1)

    Hi,

    Its hard to provide the solution without looking the problem, did you use XML Mapping button to show the field in the layout?

    docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-howto-report-layout

    Thanks

    Yes  i used XML Mapping pane from developer tab. I have added a new column in report this TotalAmountExclInvDisc variable is not available on XML Mapping Pane.

    Have you used XML mapping under developer tab in word?

    For custom XML part you have to select the relevant report.

    This I do because i need to sum the above field in rdlc report we can you in expression as SUM(Field) but in word layout it's now working that's why i try coding and update the value in variable so that i can able to place the variable in the layout.

    Try to add applcationarea = all; to your new column and check if it shows up then.

    Hi, another point to note is that after you install your Extension, please download Word Layout again, otherwise your new fields will not be added to it.

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.
