I added field to aging report but it shows the same data for all vendors

ReportReport
Posted on by FH-09051731-0 31
I am just learning the development of BC.
 
I added the payment terms code to an "Aged Accounts Payable" custom layout report. I copied the 322 report code and used it as the basis for my custom report. Here is the "column" code I added to the top of the "dataitem" section:
 
 
 dataset
    {
        dataitem(Vendor; Vendor)
        {
            PrintOnlyIfDetail = true;
            RequestFilterFields = "No.";
            column(Payable_TermsCode; "Payment Terms Code")
            {
            }
 
 
The other columns continue below this code.
 
I then added the field to the .rdlc report and when I run the report the field shows in the correct position and shows one of the payment terms codes. However, it shows the same payment term for all of the vendors. How do I get it to link this field so that it show the payment terms code for each different vendor and where should I add that code?
 
 
Thanks

    For all of you that responded, thank you!
     
    I figured out the problem. It turns out that I was testing this in the Microsoft sandbox company. That company has all of the vendor payment terms set to the same value. They did not vary the value for each vendor. So when I finally checked the different vendors I noticed they had the same value, and that is why the same value showed on my updated report after adding the field.
     
    So a quick note... don't assume Microsoft varied the data in its demo company.

    Please use the following method to ensure that your data is correct.
    Dynamics 365 Business Central: Save report dataset to Excel from the request page (Report Inspector)
     
    Because this seems to be a layout problem, if you want to display different headers on rdlc, you generally have to use the following method, which is very complicated.
     
    Hope this helps as well.
    Thanks.

    Thank you. I did originally use the example from Erik Hougaard. But his example was adding a field to the table that will reside in the table. I believe my "payment terms" field on the vendor table is actually a link to the list of payment terms on the "payment terms" table.
     
    I have added the field to the table and to the .rdlc report, and I know that the field is good and returns a value from the payment terms list. The issue is that the field is not linked to the specific payment terms code for each vendor. It only returns one code "CM" for all vendors.
     
    I need a way to link the field to the specific payment term for each vendor. And if there is a link to be written, I am not sure if the link should be nested within the "column" statements or it should be outside in more of a global context.

    YUN ZHU, 
     
    I used your suggestion and I had the same result as per the attached screenshot.
     
    It is not getting the correct payment terms code from the payment terms table that is linked to the vendor table.

    Suresh,
     
    I tried the "First" statement selection and it did not appear to change the outcome.
     
    I also included a screenshot showing all the payment terms codes showing the same "CM" code.

    Are you using First when you reference the field in the Rdlc, that is a common error to see the same value for every vendor.

    Hi, Try the following code, it looks like you are not adding to the existing Vendor DataItem, but adding another one.
     
    Thanks.
