Modifying Report Data Definition for Job Traveler

Thanks to both of you for your replies. After posting my question I
did try another route and that worked. I had hoped to make it
simpler by using the Calculated field CustID in the JobHeader table
but I guess that must not be possible.

What I did was link the OrderHead table to the Job Ship Table then
the Customer Table to the OrderHead table.

I am trying my first modification to a "Crystal Form" in 8.03.400, the
Job Traveler. We have some customer specific notes in the Customer VB
form fields Character02 and Character03 that we have printing on our
Vantage 6.1 Traveler. I need to get that data on the 8.03.400
Traveler. I have created a custom copy of the Traveler and the Report
Data Definition. I've figured out how to add a field (BubbleNum) from
a table (JobMtl) that already existed in the definition. Now I need to
add a table (Customer) to the definition.

The JobHead table contains a calculated field for CustID that I was
hoping to be able to use to link to the Customer table. I'm not sure
if it's possible to link with a calculated field or not, but when I
added the customer table and added a relationship and tried to chose
the relationship field CustID isn't available.

How would you advise linking the Customer Table to the Job Traveler?

Thanks,

Brian Stenglein
You want to find the field CustNum...not custID. That will help link
your tables.

Look at the other tables available in the definition for this link.

I am trying my first modification to a "Crystal Form" in 8.03.400, the
Job Traveler. We have some customer specific notes in the Customer VB
form fields Character02 and Character03 that we have printing on our
Vantage 6.1 Traveler. I need to get that data on the 8.03.400
Traveler. I have created a custom copy of the Traveler and the Report
Data Definition. I've figured out how to add a field (BubbleNum) from
a table (JobMtl) that already existed in the definition. Now I need to
add a table (Customer) to the definition.

The JobHead table contains a calculated field for CustID that I was
hoping to be able to use to link to the Customer table. I'm not sure
if it's possible to link with a calculated field or not, but when I
added the customer table and added a relationship and tried to chose
the relationship field CustID isn't available.

Don't forget that company = company needs to be in every relationship.

It appears that custnum is not in any of the tables in your Data
Definition.

This is what I would do:

1. Add table CustXPrt
2. Add relationship Parent Table JobPart to Child Table CustXPrt.
JobPart.Company = CustXPrt.Company
JobPart.PartNum = CustXPrt.PartNum
3. Now add table Customer.
4. Add relationship Parent Table CustXPrt to Child Table Customer.
CustXPrt.Company = Customer.Company
CustXPrt.CustNum = Customer.CustNum

That should work to get information from your Customer table onto
your Job Traveler form.

If you are following the steps in Epicor's AnswerBook # 4778MPS, "CR
Modifying a Crystal Report form in V8.xx", you shouldn't get any
errors. You can download Answerbooks free from the Epicor website by
logging on and searching for them in the Epicor Search field.
