Missing CodeUnit "Serv. Report Management"

(6) Share

Posted on by KF-13080728-0

I'm currently updating my AL code to Business Central version 26.0. I've resolved almost all warnings, except for one that I can't get rid of:

"Method 'GetServHeaderDocTypeUsage' is marked for removal. Reason: Replaced by same procedure in codeunit 'Serv. Report Management'. Tag: 25.0."

The problem is: I can't find a codeunit named Serv. Report Management in my AL packages. I'm using a BC Cloud Sandbox Environment with the following version:

Version: DE Business Central 26.3 (Platform 26.0.37552.0 + Application 26.3.36158.37831)

I've already tried redownloading the symbols, but the codeunit still doesn't show up. I also couldn't find any helpful resources online.

Does anyone know why this codeunit might be missing or how I can add it to my project?

The replacement method for GetServHeaderDocTypeUsage is not in a codeunit named Serv. Report Management—that name appears to be incorrect or misleading in the deprecation message.
Instead, the correct replacement is located in:
Codeunit 6461 "Serv. Document Print"

Namespace: Microsoft.Foundation.Reporting

Method:

procedure GetServHeaderDocTypeUsage(ServiceHeader: Record "Service Header"): Enum "Report Selection Usage"

📘 Official Microsoft Learn Reference [1]

Replace your call to the deprecated method with:

ServDocumentPrint.GetServHeaderDocTypeUsage(ServiceHeader);

Declare the codeunit in your AL code:

var

    ServDocumentPrint: Codeunit "Serv. Document Print";

Ensure your app.json includes the correct dependencies:

"dependencies": [

    {

        "id": "437dbf0e-84ff-417a-965d-ed2bb9650972",

        "name": "Base Application",

        "publisher": "Microsoft",

        "version": "26.0.0.0"

    }

]

Redownload symbols after updating app.json:

Run AL: Download Symbols from the Command Palette.

The deprecation message refers to a non-existent or internal alias (Serv. Report Management), but the actual implementation is in Serv. Document Print.

This has been confirmed by Microsoft documentation and community reports.

Hi, Try the following method

codeunit 6461 "Serv. Document Print"

Also deprecated is the following one, apparently there is something wrong with its information writing...

Thanks

The comment is incorrect, it is not Serv. Report Management should be "Serv. Document Print"; you will find this function in the corresponding codeunit.

That codeunit isn’t missing it’s just been renamed. You’ll find the same function in codeunit “Serv. Document Print”, so you can switch your call there instead of waiting for “Serv. Report Management.”

Use “Serv. Document Print,” not “Serv. Report Management.” The function is in the related codeunit.
