Report Styles Absent from Report Selection List

Greetings, All.

I am working on a customization to the BOM Availability Report and the Report Form from where you define the parameters of the report and eventually run it.

First, I copied the BOMResAv system RDD and used it as the foundation for the modified RDD I want in the customized report. The modified RDD is called, “BOMResAvail”.

Next, I created a new report style using “BOMResAvail” as the specified data definition. I synched the RDD to the RDL with no errors.

I then created a new menu item for the customization of the BOM Availability Report form and made sure to specify that the menu item “points” to the “Erp.UIRpt.BOMResAv.dll” program – and then specified my customization for it. This works because I can see the additional form objects I added to the customization.

The problem I see, is that the report style is not showing up in the selection list of the BOM Availability Report form (see below):

report-styles
report-styles1043×840 72.3 KB

I even deleted my customization and recreated it with the “All Companies” checkbox ticked. No difference in behavior.

Might anyone have any ideas of how I might troubleshoot this phenomenon?

Thanks for your advice.

Just as a debugging tool… If you change the description of StyleNum 1 (the default one) from “Standard - SSRS” to “Test - SSRS”, is it reflected in form?

If you launch the uncustomized Report Form, do your “V1.00” and “V2.00” styles show in the list?

Thanks for replying, Calvin.

I think I figured it out. Apparently, I was trying to create a report, for lack of a better phrase, “out of thin air” – which surprisingly doesn’t work :slight_smile: . The customization in Menu Maintenance was defined correctly, but of course, I needed to specify that I intended to run the “Erp.UIRpt.BOMResAv.dll” program with a customization layer. What I was actually doing was creating a totally new report style that wasn’t really “attached” to any existing “BOMResAv” system RDD.

So, clearly – I simply forgot the basics of creating a new report style based off of an existing system RDD.

So - I think I’m back on track now.
