I'm probably pushing my luck in terms of assistance, so far this forum has been incredible in helping out a novice like myself.
I am building a Quote Report using FetchXML in Visual Studio (BIDS).
This may be the wrong approach (and not afraid to hear it) but this is how I have build my current 'prototype' if you will. (Apologies for not using correct vernacular relating to SQL, I have no coding experience). I feel as though I am probably going about this backwards in terms of entities.
-------------
DataSet1 - Primary Entity "Quote Detail" (This is where I pull the information about productid's, prices, etc). Essentially these are the quote products.
I then have two Linked Entities in the same query/dataset. Product and Quote. (The product entity is where I pull SKU's, or descriptions, and break down types)
The Quote entity is obviously where such items like (Customer, Addresses, Total Amounts, essentially the bulk of the report).
I applied a filter to the Linked Quote based on quotenumber (ie. QUO-1234-ABCD) which works to identify which Quote I would like to work with.
Here is where my problem is: Say there were 3 revisions to the quote: rev1 (includes items) rev2 (includes different items) rev3 (includes dif items)
If I run my report with a single filter of Quote #, I pull the items from all 3 revisions.
So I need to specify 2 filters: QuoteNumber, and RevisionNumber.
Right now, the quote works and builds perfectly, (but the hangup is I need to manually enter the revision number as a parameter)
In the past, I have used pre-filtering to specify a primary entity.
Can this be done with linked entities? More importantly, two linked entity fields?
In a nutshell, I need to:
Run a report from an open Quote window, have it automatically know which Quote# to pull the quote details from, and also know the revision number, to specify which items get added.
