How can I combine Packing slip report?
I want to keep the packing slip and insert subreports in it.
right now we print each report separately and in Kinetic depending upon the SO, the data directive generates the documents which can be multiple.
I don’t think there is a method for this OOTB. However, you can create or modify the RDD to add in the required tables, then use Report Builder to add in subreports to the pack slip. The tricky part is getting all the details in the RDD correct so that your subreports can pull the data they need.
As far as taking two existing reports and simply merging them, I really don’t think this is possible. I would love to be proven wrong!
Good luck!
Thanks @NateS
If I just duplicate the packing slip with exact definition of, lets say parent packing slip and insert the child packing slip there. Will it work? and if yes. what would be the parameters?
Give it a shot and find out!

I am getting the error below:
Which parameters should I add? These two are same reports.
You need to pass the GUID down to the subreport. I would open one of the system reports with a subreport and see how they do it.
To John’s point: If you open the pack slip RDL, you can see that subreports have the parameter of TableGuid = [@TableGuid]. Other parameters are added depending on what is needed. For example, in the MarkFor subreport, there are also parameters for Company, PackNum, and PackLine. I would think you only need the tableguid for your purpose.

I used the following parameters for the subreport. For testing purposes, both reports are identical and have the same Rdds, but the subreport is not showing up at all.
