ReportReport
Posted on by SammySevens 130

Hello All,

I am having a hard time generating a custom report with the following 3 columns:

  • Item No. (every item no. in our items table)
  • Quantity On Hand As of Today
  • Quantity On Hand As of Yesterday

I am experimenting with calcformulas, flow fields, even analysis template.....and thanks to Zhu for a great tutorial - but I am still stuck. 

Any help would be appreciated

I have the same question (0)

    Hi

    you must use flowfield and Flowfilter

    pastedimage1676106412738v2.png

    e.g. the "Purchases (Qty.)" field of the Item table can be filtered to AL code with a simple setfilter or setrange on the Posting date field which is a flowfilter acting on the calculation of the "Purchases (Qty.)" field

    check my answer if it helped you, thanks

    Thanks to this blog post - here is what I have - how does it look?

    • Extended item table 
    • Created 4 fields: YDayDate, YDayQuantity, TDayDate,TDayQuantity
    • Created new page with sourcetable = Item
    • OnOpenPage - set 2 filters for YDayDate, and TDayDate

    tableextension 60002 pExt60002ItemMfrName extends Item
{
    fields
    {
        field(60000; "Manufacturer Name"; Text[100])
        {
            TableRelation = Manufacturer;
            Caption = 'lookupManufacturer';
            FieldClass = FlowField;
            CalcFormula = lookup(Manufacturer.Name where(Code = field("Manufacturer Code")));
        }
        field(60001; "Vendor Name"; Text[100])
        {
            TableRelation = Vendor;
            Caption = 'lookupVendorName';
            FieldClass = FlowField;
            CalcFormula = lookup(Vendor.Name where("No." = field("Vendor No.")));
        }
        field(60002; "Today Quantity"; Decimal)
        {
            Caption = 'Field';
        }
        field(60003; "yDayDate"; Date)
        {
            Editable = false;
            FieldClass = FlowFilter;
        }
        field(60004; tDayDate; Date)
        {
            Editable = false;
            FieldClass = FlowFilter;
        }
        field(60005; yDayQuantity; Decimal)
        {
            Editable = false;
            FieldClass = FlowField;
            CalcFormula = sum("Item Ledger Entry".Quantity where("Item No." = field("No."), "Posting Date" = field(yDayDate)));

        }
        field(60006; tDayQuantity; Decimal)
        {
            Editable = false;
            FieldClass = FlowField;
            CalcFormula = sum("Item Ledger Entry".Quantity where("Item No." = field("No."), "Posting Date" = field(tDayDate)));
        }
    }
}

    page 60003 p60003DailyInvDelta
{
    ApplicationArea = All;
    Caption = 'Daily Inventory Delta';
    PageType = List;
    SourceTable = Item;
    UsageCategory = Lists;

    layout
    {
        area(content)
        {
            repeater(General)
            {
                field("No."; Rec."No.")
                {
                    ToolTip = 'Specifies the number of the item.';
                }
                field(yDayQuantity; Rec.yDayQuantity)
                {
                    ToolTip = 'Specifies the value of the yDayQuantity field.';
                }
                field(tDayQuantity; Rec.tDayQuantity)
                {
                    ToolTip = 'Specifies the value of the tDayQuantity field.';
                }
            }
        }
    }
    trigger OnOpenPage()
    begin
        Rec.Reset();
        If not Rec.Get() then begin
            Rec.Init();
            Rec.Insert();
        end;
        Rec.SetFilter(yDayDate, '< %1', WorkDate());
        Rec.SetFilter(tDayDate, '<= %1', WorkDate());

    end;
}

    Just a little tips.

    Instead of creating a new flow field you can use the existing field Net change that is already on the Item table.

     field(70; "Net Change"; Decimal)
        {
            CalcFormula = Sum("Item Ledger Entry".Quantity WHERE("Item No." = FIELD("No."),
                                                                  "Global Dimension 1 Code" = FIELD("Global Dimension 1 Filter"),
                                                                  "Global Dimension 2 Code" = FIELD("Global Dimension 2 Filter"),
                                                                  "Location Code" = FIELD("Location Filter"),
                                                                  "Drop Shipment" = FIELD("Drop Shipment Filter"),
                                                                  "Posting Date" = FIELD("Date Filter"),
                                                                  "Variant Code" = FIELD("Variant Filter"),
                                                                  "Lot No." = FIELD("Lot No. Filter"),
                                                                  "Serial No." = FIELD("Serial No. Filter"),
                                                                  "Unit of Measure Code" = FIELD("Unit of Measure Filter"),
                                                                  "Package No." = FIELD("Package No. Filter")));
            Caption = 'Net Change';
            DecimalPlaces = 0 : 5;
            Editable = false;
            FieldClass = FlowField;
        }
