Advanced ReportWriter programming
• Rw_ functions in Great Plains Dexterity. When you need cross-modules data on same report (Bill of Lading, which you could produce on base of Picking List) you need to move report you want to customize into your custom DYNAMICS.DIC and fill gaps with RW_ functions – these are allowed to be placed on report with parameters
If ReportWriter doesn’t do job:
• Crystal Reports. Current version 8.0 and 8.5 (July 2005) are MS SQL Server based, where Crystal Report could work at will and produce all desired links – we recommend you to base Crystal Report on SQL Stored Procedure or SQL View. You call Crystal Report engine via Modifier/VBA – you need Customization Site Enabler license. If you are on Great Plains Standard version: 7.5, or Great Plains Dynamics/eEnterprise 7.0, 6.0, 5.5 or 5.0 Btrieve/Pervasive SQL/Ctree – you need to install Pervasive SQL driver (or Faircomm driver for Ctree) Good luck with implementation, customization and integration and if you have issues or concerns – we are here to help!
