Press Release Body: In Microsoft Dynamics GP Report Writer is integrated reports
modification tool, where you can modify such reports as Blank SOP Invoice form or
Purchase Order to place your company logo there. More advanced and sophisticated
customizing scenarios are when you are altering chosen report by opening it with
Great Plains Dexterity project and adding custom functions. In this case you can
place on SOP Blank Invoice form something, which doesn't belong to Sales Order
Processing module - vendor invoice number (which is popular in the case if you are
in transportation and you use agent settlement report, where your shippers are
customers and vendors at the same time). Let's review Report Writer modification
options:

1. Modified Reports. These reports you can do on your own as the user.
Tools->Customization->Report Writer. Then pick the report to modify and you can
change fields location, add, or take off fields. Please be aware that you can add
fields from the tables associated with the report. In the case if the table is not
associated, you can add the association, typically if the table belongs to the same
module.

2. Logo placing guidelines. GP is Microsoft Dexterity application, which is the
shell, written in C programming language, this places some restrictions on modern
graphical printer drivers, when you are adding pictures (such as logos) to your RW
reports. Please research your printer requirements and compatibilities in Microsoft
Dynamics GP Customer Source, or contact your GP VAR


3. Dexterity Customized Reports. We recommend you to contact your GP ISV partner to
see if they have Dex developer in staff with experience to customize existing
report. As the highlight - there are two options - fist is when in Dexterity you
create the function with prefix rw_. This function then will be available in the
alternate modified report. To create alternate modified report, you simply port it
from Dynamics.Dic to your Dex customization dictionary. The second option is to
create report in Dex from scratch - in this case you are the master of the situation
and free in your modification choices.
