Hi guys,

I am having a problem with printing 2 reports (sales shipment and sales invoice) in a sequence by manually calling the print records functions on the respective records in BC20 On Premises. Its only printing the second report but both documents are incrementing the number printed field.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Can you have a default printer selection that makes it print on a printer you are not aware of, or could the reports have been saved as a file?

Hello everyone, thanks for the responses. My situation is like this: We have Shipment and Delivery addition to the Sales process that combines various sales orders to one "Delivery Order" for shipment and Invoicing, so when the user Dispatches the delivery order it posts all sales orders and afterwards Prints the Shipments and Invoices using the Record.PrintRecords function . Everything is going well up to the point of printing, BC is only printing the last print command (Invoices). The No. printed for shipment is increasing (i can see the print command is running) but somehow the actual print does not happen.

In the meantime i had to put a confirmation of print After the Shipments command and they all print fine, for now. I would appreciate if you suggest another way i can handle this.

I see an almost similar issue was reported here but on BC15 here.

I have attached a screenshot for a better overview of the process.

Thanks,

I am using the print to pdf printer as my default printer on my machine and it automatically downloads the files. I am certain they are not being saved elsewhere.

Hi ZHU, thanks for the response. :-), I am a huge fan. Unfortunately for my case i cant use this feature because i a printing report 1306 and 1308. As a side note, is there a way to call post and print for a number of orders in a sequence with Commit Suppressed?

Below is the code i am using for printing(i am calling this procedure after posting all orders and i commit):

procedure PrintDispatchDocuments(DeliveryOrderHeader: Record "ADV Delivery Order Header"; )

var

SalesShipmentHeader: Record "Sales Shipment Header";

SalesInvoiceHeader: Record "Sales Invoice Header";

begin

//>> Delivery Notes

SalesShipmentHeader.reset();

SalesShipmentHeader.SetRange("Delivery Order No.", DeliveryOrderHeader."No.");

SalesShipmentHeader.FindSet(true);

repeat

SalesShipmentHeader.PrintRecords(false);

until SalesShipmentHeader.Next() = 0;

//<<Delivery Notes

//>> Delivery Invoices

SalesInvoiceHeader.Reset();

SalesInvoiceHeader.SetRange("Delivery Order No.", DeliveryOrderHeader."No.");

SalesInvoiceHeader.FindSet(true);

repeat

SalesInvoiceHeader.PrintRecords(false);

until SalesInvoiceHeader.Next() = 0;

//<<Delivery Invoices

end;

Could not find anything obvious in the code.

Have you defined a report for the sales shipment in report selection sales?

The printrecord function seems to depend on what is defined in report selection sales.

And have you checked with printrecord(true) to check if the request form actually is executed?

Hi, I'm not sure if this will help you, I have used the solution below to combine different reports into the one PDF and letting the client print this PDF.

Merge PDF in Business Central (linkedin.com)

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

My report selections is defined ok with report 1308 for D Note. If i flip the code to print invoice first, then it will print D notes only. I have also debugged and indeed the system is calling the reports (and they increment No. printed). Is your post and print function for Cash receipt journal printing both GL register and Customer payment report?
