Edit Report File to Change Header and Footer of Sales Invoice

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I want to be able to edit the report file, so I can change the header and footer of a printed report like the sales invoice.

Any help?

    Hi,

    1. Generally, the empty second page with only header is because of the oversized of width and height. In your report properties, check the report size and margins. Adjust the layout according to the size you need.

    2. Is this a customized report? Then please check whether do you have any loops which are running longer than it should be. Also analyse the dataset which you get out of the report.

    Simply, just switch on the debugger to find out the problematic code part.

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks for getting back Nareshwar.

    I 'm using SSRS Report builder.

    When I print my report, it flows into an empty second page (page 1 of 2 and 2 of 2, but page 2 of 2 is empty or has only the report header.

    The second issue is that, it prints multiple copies of the same report. So, when I print a report to pdf, I get up to 96 pages when I should be getting 1 or 2 pages.

    Hi,

    You just have to open the layout where you can add/remove/edit the header/footer.

    Go to the development environment of NAV -> Select the report object you wanted to edit -> Click View -> Layout and report  layout will open either in Visual Studio or SSRS Report Builder. 

    Please check the screenshots.

    In SSRS Report Builder,

    In Visual Studio,

    If you have specific questions, please shoot :)
