Hi:

I totally misread the need on my code.

I want to print the Job Card report when the "OK" button residing within the "Refresh Production Order" screen is clicked in a Released Production Order -- not when the Released Production Order button itself is pressed.

How do I modify this code to accomplish that?

Thanks!

John

pageextension 50101 "ProdOrderExt" extends "Released Production Order"
{
    actions
    {
        addlast(Processing)
        {
            action(PrintJobCard)
            {
                Caption = 'Print Job Card';
                Image = Print;
                trigger OnAction()
                var
                    ProdOrderRec: Record "Production Order";
                    JobCardReport: Report "Prod. Order - Job Card";
                    OutputFile: File;
                    OutputFilePath: Text;
                    TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob";
                    OutStream: OutStream;
                begin
                    // Call original behavior
                    CurrPage.Update(); // Simulate Refresh action or use page action if needed
                    // Get the current Production Order
                    Rec.TestField("No.");
                    ProdOrderRec.Get(Rec."No.");
                    // Prepare to save report to PDF
                    TempBlob.CreateOutStream(OutStream);
                    // Use a filter string as the second argument
                    Report.SaveAs(Report::"Prod. Order - Job Card", 'No.=' + Rec."No.", ReportFormat::Pdf, OutStream);
                    // Save to file system or stream to download — for now, simulate download
                    OutputFilePath := 'JobCard_' + Rec."No." + '.pdf';
                    // Create an InStream from the TempBlob and download the file
                    TempBlob.CreateInStream(InStr);
                    DownloadFromStream(InStr, 'Job Card', 'PDF Files|*.pdf', '', OutputFilePath);
                end;
            }
        }
    }
    var
        InStr: InStream;
}

Printing the Job Card Automatically by Clicking the "OK" Button

the Job Card report to print automatically when the “OK” button is clicked inside the "Refresh Production Order" request page, not just from the Released Production Order page action.

Here's the clarification: the "OK" button on a request page (e.g. Refresh Production Order) is handled internally by a report or codeunit, not something you can hook into directly using a pageextension on "Released Production Order". Your current code adds a separate action on the Released Production Order page — not what you're asking for.

What you actually need:

If you want the Job Card report to automatically print after the "OK" button is clicked (i.e., after the Refresh Production Order logic runs), you’ll need to subscribe to the event that runs after the refresh logic completes. Typically, this is inside codeunit 99000787 "Production Order Management", possibly around methods like RefreshProductionOrder.

So:

Find the correct event publisher (likely OnAfterRefreshProductionOrder or similar).

Create an event subscriber that triggers the Job Card report using the production order number as a filter.

Hi, If you mean clicking the OK button in the report below, you need to expand the report, not the page.

For example,

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Typically, the Refresh action triggers codeunit 5407 "Prod. Order Status Management" or some production-specific codeunit.

I hope below can help

codeunit 50102 "JobCardAfterRefreshHandler"
{
[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"Prod. Order Status Management", 'OnAfterRefreshProdOrder', '', true, true)]
local procedure AfterRefreshProdOrder(ProdOrderNo: Code[20])
var
ProdOrderRec: Record "Production Order";
TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob";
OutStream: OutStream;
InStream: InStream;
OutputFilePath: Text;
begin
// Validate Production Order exists
if not ProdOrderRec.Get(ProdOrderNo) then
exit;

// Generate Job Card PDF
TempBlob.CreateOutStream(OutStream);
Report.SaveAs(Report::"Prod. Order - Job Card", 'No.=' + ProdOrderNo, ReportFormat::Pdf, OutStream);

TempBlob.CreateInStream(InStream);
OutputFilePath := 'JobCard_' + ProdOrderNo + '.pdf';

DownloadFromStream(InStream, 'Job Card', 'PDF Files|*.pdf', '', OutputFilePath);
end;
}

Thanks

Ramesh

@Ramesh Kumar

The "OnAfterRefreshProdOrder" event doesn't exist. Any other ideas?

Thanks, so much!
