Electronic reporting basic report

Posted on by 307

Hello, 

I am trying to learn how to use ER in D365. To do that I designed  a basic vendor list export (vendor name and vendor account). I performed my test in a Contoso environment, latest release. 

First I created my Data Model : 

pastedimage1580467678244v1.png

Vend list > Record List (type : record list) > Records (type records) > Account and name (both of them type string) 

2nde step I mapped to datasource this data model :

3th I create the export format model :

using this file as a template :

What I can't understand is that I only get one record instead of my entire database and i also lost the titles :

I must miss something, somewhere. 

If anyone can help me ! 

Many Thanks,

    Hi,

    It looks as if you have not mapped your model record list with the excel sheet.

    That's why you see only the first record.

    Please check your 3rd screenprint from bottom and assign the excel table that you have defined with the record list from the ER model.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig, 

    I did as follow : 

    pastedimage1580479181126v1.png

    On my format designer Tableau1 (which is my excel sheet) is bind to my Vend-Recordlist 

    The difference is that now i get a list of empty records : 

    pastedimage1580479314656v2.png

    I tried to learn from your webcast APAccrualsOverTime_English_Part1 

    In your datamodel I guess that LINES is a Recordlist type and INVOICELINE record type. 

    pastedimage1580479440365v3.png

    With my current datamodel i guess that i'm in the right way : 

    pastedimage1580479509510v4.png

    From the point of view of model mapping as I I just want to export a vendor list, I think that I'm right too 

    The difference with your webcast is that you are using relations. But as I'm trying to build a very basic configuration as a start point with ER I just bind my datamodel to the related fields or method :

    pastedimage1580479721422v6.png

    pastedimage1580479742551v7.png

    Eventually we come to format designer where I guess my problem is. 

    The main difference is that your Excel Table is a header : 

    pastedimage1580479852701v8.png

    where mine looks like a record : 

    pastedimage1580480055210v9.png

    Thanks for your help !
