AX 2012 customized SalesPackingSlip report - Run new design based on condition

Report

Posted on by Community Member

I want to run a different design for this report based on a simple condition (a customized field in CustPackingSlipJour).

I figured out I could possibly put that condition in SalesPackingSlipController preRunModifyContract method but when I call this.ParmReportName(ssrsReportStr(SalesPackingSlip, NewReport)); it says the operand for the method is not an element. How can I get it to see my new design properly?

Thanks, That is an odd solution but one that did allow it to compile.

Is there a best practice / solution for placing this parmReportName to change which design to run based on data?

I just want to point out there is no outputReport in the Packing slip class. There is outputreports. but even stating parmReportName there it continues to run Report vs NewReport. I no longer get compilation errors though. I have even overriden parmReportName and put the logic there to use NewReport but it always runs Report.

I have, at no point does the reportname change back.

In fact there is a line in main() where it says:

controller.initArgs(_args, ssrsReportStr(SalesPackingSlip, Report));

I changed Report to NewReport and debugged it through up until the report is displayed and it never changes yet Report is being displayed instead of NewReport

if its not there, override it. to override a method, it id needed to right click the class.

see below screenshot, I can override outputReport method in same report. The following image, I have taken from standard system.

I just missed it before, I was able to override it but it still does use the new report design when I call this.ParmReportName(ssrsReportStr(SalesPackingSlip, NewReport));

and to add to this, debugging it retains NewReport the entire time up until the report pops up.
