Please check exactly which report is being called, it can be localization specific.

Thanks for your suggestion mallika.

I'm Using AX2012R3 with Demo Data, in that there are several designs (localized) inside of SalesInvoice Report .By Default It's calling Default 'Report' design.Because I need new design I've Created new design using visual studio and renamed it as 'Report_XY'.now I want to call that design.

at runtime.

Hi Amith,

Do you need to select the new report at A/R -> Setup -> Forms -> Form setup -> Print management -> Customer invoice -> Original -> Report format?

Hi Guy,

Actually it's not that i'm referring to , What i did was i opened SalesInvoice Model Project (from AOT) in Visual Studio, and Created New Design for it and Deployed .Now I want to use that design , So I did Some Changes on SalesInvoice Controller Class , and PrintMgmtDocType classes , but still it's printing default design which default AX has.

I want to use that design which i've created when report runtime .

thanks in Advance,

Amith Prasanna

What happens if you open table PrintMgmtReportFormat from within the AOT and change the 'Name' of SalesInvoice.Report to SalesInvoice.Report_XY

Check if Print management is playing role here, delete and re-deploy report to ensure the right design available on server, also if you haven't done it already then please recreate CIL because form letter runs in CIL.

you need to code it in your logic to call conditional design, sales invoice controller already have such code for br localization.

Maybe you could add a record in the PrintMgmtReportFormat table for each design, and select a different design in each legal entity.

The PrintMgmtReportFormat table has a method called 'populate'. If you can decipher it, you might be able to get your new reports to appear in that table 'automatically'.
