  • 1.  Gross Requirements report modification

    Posted 07-16-2024 12:53

    Hi Folks.

        Working with a client that wants some modifications to the Gross Requirements Report in BOM.  I have been able to do all of them except for showing the BOMs that each of the component items are used on.  With the way the Gross Requirements Report works, I am struggling to find a way to accomplish this.   If anyone has ideas on this, I would appreciate it.  I have tried several ways, mainly with sub reports but it seems that when it "gets to" the component detail selection, not all the BOM data has been generated.

    Do their bills go deeper than just one level?

    Yeah, reports with multi-layer bills are a nightmare.  I simply will not write them without SQL for the table joins / union queries.  On a Providex system I set up SQL express and scripted refresh of the required tables, then run the reports off of that.

    Look at the raw work table data (with a Preview open) to properly understand the shape of that data.  It is often not what you think it "should" be.

    HI @Beth Bowers & @Kevin Moyes,

       The bills are only single level.    The data is "there" but because of the way the report is grouped I am only getting one of the Bills on the detail line.   I would LOVE to look at the data but they are premium and I know that it generates tamp tables and it have been able to find them but they never have had data in them when I looked. the tables were empty.   If you can tell me how to see the data, that would be great.

    I don't know about Premium, but if the Temps are providex files instead of SQL, then you can look at them while previewing a standard report.  Just leave the report open and previewed and you can look at a temp file (if Providex, it's the one with the User code and other blah blah in the file name at the end).

    Hi Beth, very familiar with that but it is different in SQL.    I may need to test in on an Providex version.

    What about a subreport?

    Hi All

        I had tried sub reports and variables.   It did turn out the solution was a sub report with shared variables.  The hard part was where it had to go on the report, I kept getting only one of the bills to return in the sub report..   @Kevin Moyes I was able to see the data in the temp table.  It gave me a bit of a clue on how to get the data needed.     Thanks Everyone!
