How to determine why an item in report is not visible

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I've got a report, PurchPurchaseOrder. It generates different sheets depending on the dataarea of the PurchTable record its based on. Let's just say for some companies it shows a field InventDim_InventSizeId, and for some it doesn't.

I need to unify all versions, so it always produces the same looking report. 

My problem is, the code in the PurchPurchaseOrder does not EVER call the object I'm looking directly, in terms of calling .visible(false) or showLabel or sth. Nothing.

The field itself has no securityKey nor configurationKey set. It's source is InventDim and the field in the table itself (as an example) is InventSizeId. This one does have the configurationKey assigned, InventItemDimSize. 

My knowledge on configurationKeys is rather poor, so my question is - can they affect visibility of specific item depending on dataarea? If so, how do I change it?

If not, how do I find the thing i want on the basic level? - side note here, my experience in AX comes from windows forms, where you had to call method .visible or .hide on Control object to make it disappear. I am assuming it's similar here. I tried it here but failed, it's likely I'm doing sth wrong.

The report has no programmable sections.

The report I'm investigating is deeply nested out, that's why I was struggling to find the cause in the first place.

I'm fairly new to AX, and my only source of knowledge is internet :D

    Hi Luntri,

    A configuration key is environment wide, not related to companies. Can you check purchase form settings (AP > Settings) if the dimensions are enabled to be shown on the purchase orders in all companies?

    Hi,

    André is right. There is a company wise setting for, at least the formletter based, reports which will influence the visibility of certain inventdim fields (done by some kind if report inventdim framework).

    It's like the Dimension settings for a lot of forms. Unlike there, the setup for reports us not in a by user way, instead a fixed by company setup is used.

    regards Douglas

    Hi Luntri,
    As André and Douglas mentioned, it is a setup related issue. Please take a look at the CustFormletterParameters form, and check the InventDim settings, which are enabled? The parameter table behind is a company specific one.

    Kind regards,

    István
