Hello,

I have inserted a new layout to the tdsls440301000 pack slip report but it prints in the wrong location.

The layout I have inserted is Detail.45 but it prints before the Detail.40 layout and I cannot see why.

Neither of these layouts are manipulated in the report script. The conditions against each layout are:-

Detail.40 - line = 0 and not stand.desc
Detail.45 - line = 1

Can anybody please give me some pointers as to what may be causing this?

Thanks

PJ

Hi PJ,

the print packing slip program first sets the "line" variable to 1 and sends its data to report. So all layouts that have line=1 as part of their condition are printed first if the rest of the condition applies. The program then sets the "Line" variable to 0 to print the line text. Now all the layouts with line=0 as part of their condition are considered for printing. Therfore in your case detail.45 with condition line=1 is printed before detail.40 with condition line=0.

Simple really! Just Kidding. I still remember the sleeples nights I had as a rooky with no idea what "line" stood for.

Thanks Vahdani,

I only do a bit of development here and there so I put my hands up to being a 'rooky'.

I think I understand now. I have set 'line = 0' on my layout and it now prints where I would expect it to.

Thanks for your help.

Hi PJ, it's me again!

You have to be careful here: If the sales order line has no text, no line = 0 is ever sent and your layout will not be printed! If you must always print your layout then I woud move it to an after.field.tdsls045.pono layout with print condition = 1. Such a layout will always get printed after all the detail layouts are printed(text or no text)

The extra layout needs to be after each so line as it prints specific text based on the signal code of the item.

I have tested with a SO that has no line text and my new layout is printed as expected.
