Looking for an event to merge code done in OnPreReport from Nav

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Juliem 231
Hi,
 
We are currently working on upgrading one of our customers from Nav2018 to BC SaaS.
They have a few modifications in the OnPreReport section of multiple reports.
We are trying to find the proper event subscriber to use to bring in those modifications.
 
1 example is for the Suggest Vendor Payment.
We need to validate that the Bal. account type/no. entered by the user matches the ones specified in the journal batch.
We tried creating a report extension with the trigger OnPreReport, however, we do not have access to the values filled in by the user in the request page, which are needed
Event recorder didn't call anything that I think we can use.
 
We would like to avoid creating a copy of the reports if possible to make sure they get the new features/changes with the updates.
 
Any ideas/suggestions?

    Hey Zhu, 
     
    the problem is that I do not have access to the variables from the the request page using the OnPreReport trigger in a report extension.
    I need to compare the bal. account type and no. the user entered with the values from the related batch. Unless I'm missing something.

    Hi
    As you indicate, you have to evaluate each report and see if it is feasible to extend it or not.
    There are also some other options like this tool.
