Report layout shipping - no Word layout

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello everyone,

im trying to create and modify the shipping and order confirmation report-layouts. Unfortunately there are only RDLC formats for the beforementioned ones. 

I tried to work with the Report Builder but it was kind of too difficult because I dont have any experience with that so far. So I tried to find a way around by using word.

I thought I could simply use the xml-references and copy paste them from my invoice word layout, which works totally fine. As you can guess, it didnt work because as soon as I add it to Dynamics it shows nothing in the cells which have the "wrong" copy pasted references from the invoice layout. 

So there's my question is there either 

1)  already existing word layouts for shipping and order confirmation to download?

or

2) a "package" / "component" which can be added to my word xml panel with the working xml references for my layouts.

I hope I explained my problem well enough, and that Im not double posting, because I already tried to search for this topic but couldnt find anything. 

Looking forward hearing from you,

Alexander

    Alexandeer,

    When you went to Custom Report Layout, found the report you want to customize, did you click New and enter the Report ID you want to customize and select Insert Word Layout. This will create the Custom Report Layout for Word. Try this step and then you can Export Layout to modify.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hey Steven,

    thanks so far, actually I came so far already but somehow I forgot to open one of the spoiler with all the xml references. Thank you!

    Now I got another additional question, I created everything but I got only one line for one article, as soon as I have a second article, it will simply not add it to my table.

    I'll add my example as screenshot, do you have an idea how I can add a reference if there's (+1) Article it expands the table automatically.

    Thank you so far!

    Stay Save,

    Alex,

    The best answer here is to make sure when inserting the repeater to have a table row above and below it (see the orange colored rows below):

    After testing this works and I just removed the orange colored empty rows.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve
