Supported layouts

The output (print) of content created via DYCE Easy Bundle Seller can be done either via WORD layout or via RDL layout. Therefore, the app comes with two additional layouts for each of the following reports. These can be identified by the extension name DYCE Easy Bundle Seller.

  • Sales - Quote (1304)
  • Order - Confirmation (1305)
  • Sales - Invoice (1306)
  • Sales - Credit note (1307)

For more information on handling layouts, see this part of the Microsoft documentation.

Notes about layouts​

The additional layouts are based on the standard layouts for the respective reports and are only extended to process content created via DYCE Easy Bundle Seller. While it is possible to use these out-of-the-box, it is usually the case that users use custom layouts. This is the real purpose of the additional layouts. It is very easy to identify the enhancements compared to the standard layouts and to transfer them to the customized layouts. For more details on this, please refer to the next section and also the Microsoft documentation.

Notes for developers​

This section targets developers who want to transfer the extensions of the standard layouts, which were created using DYCE Easy Bundle Seller as an example, to customized layouts.

Example: create new sales quote layout​

DYCE Easy Bundle Seller extends the Sales line with fields to control the line printout. Therefore, a report extension for the standard Sales Quote extends the dataset for the integration of formatting and bundles that can be used in a customized layout. This example describes how to use the standard RDL and WORD layout for Sales Quotes and extend it with formatting and bundle features for the Sales Quote line.

RDL Layout​

  • The standard RDL layout named "StandardSalesQuote.rdlc" can be copied from the base app and used as a basis for an extension or an already customized layout can be used.
  • Optional: The file extension can be changed to *.rdl in order to support editing with Microsoft Report Builder.
  • The integrated layout from the app DYCE Easy Bundle Seller should be downloaded as a model for changes to be made in newly created layout.
    • To do this, open the Report Layouts page in Business Central.
