    The simple answer to that is that everything named layout has to do with how your report is presented.

    But then you also have report selections where you select what specific report object you want to run.

    So the process is that you in report selection chose what report you want to use and in report layout selections you chose what layout you will get for the report you have selected.

    It is important to read the naming of the menu items / pages thoroughly because they can easily be confused.

    Hi, Custom Layouts is a feature of Report Layout Selection. You can copy the original Layout in it, and then export it, modify it and then import it to the system.

    Report Selection - xxxx series allows you to set different reports for different feattures such as, sales order, sales invoice and etc., and can be set to multiple report.

    To be precise, they have no priority, but if Report Selection - xxxx is set, the printed report will be based on Report Selection - xxxx.

    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
