Extensions to reports and layouts

To enable the content of the DYCE Apps to be output via the print documents, DYCE Essentials includes enhancements to the dataset of the following standard reports, among others:

• Purchase
  
  • Purchase Order
    
  • Blanket Purchase Order
    
• Sales
  
  • Quote
    
  • Order Confirmation
    
  • Blanket Order
    
  • Shipment
    
  • Invoice (incl. details of services invoiced)
    
  • Credit Memo
    
  • Reminder
    

Furthermore, two additional report layouts for WORD and for RDL are supplied for each report. These can be identified by the extension name DYCE Essentials. The additional layouts are basically based on the standard layouts for the respective reports, but are extended with regard to the content created via the DYCE apps. It is possible to use them out-of-the-box. Alternatively, it is possible to copy and modify the layouts and use them as customer-specific layouts.

Images in RDL layouts

Images in the RDL layouts must be flattened onto their background colour - no alpha channel. The Reporting Services PDF renderer that Business Central uses for RDL stores every non-JPEG image as BMP, which has no alpha, so transparency is discarded while the RGB is kept: semi-transparent and fully transparent pixels print at full colour saturation.
Word layouts convert via a different component that writes a PDF soft mask, which is why the same logo is correct there.
Not configurable - the image report item has no opacity property. This applies to all RDL layouts in Business Central, not just DYCE.
