Choose report design by legal entity, no print management. Inventory Counting List

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jt1024 452
Hello esteemed experts!
 
One of our legal entities wants to have a different inventory counting list report design than the usual design.
 
There appears to have been an Inventory Project created before me in our code base in Visual Studio.
There is a custom report already there.
 
Can I duplicate the design within the report... and then somehow select that new design for the different legal entity? THERE'S A CATCH:  Inventory Counting Lists don't appear to use Print Management so I can't just go and select it in Print Management.
 
But that assumes print management function...

    Hi Jim,
     
    The print management is not the easiest part to implement with help of a customization. Your observation is correct.

    Hello Andre,
     
    I did find some links and steps out there that lead me to believe I could add print management support to reports. But it was not directly in the context of this module, Inventory management, Journal entries.
    But then I'd have to extend the forms for that page to access those journals...  and the requestor for this small change has not replied so I think now that I've reached this point I'll drop it.
     
    But.. interesting point:
    • It would appear that you can only really do any report destination changes (legal entity, or by customer, or etc) if Print management has been enabled by Microsoft in the first place, or be prepared for a lot of work to put it in
    Do I have that right?

    HI Jim,
     
    If this is already a custom report, then indeed you can create a new design. You would need an additional customization to let the report know what design to use per legal entity. One of the options would be creating an experience like the standard print management.
