I’m looking for a way to add a Footer text variable to my Invoice and Purchase Order reports that can be modified without having to go into the report file every time. I was thinking that I could add a field to the Company Information or Purchases & Payables tables and then add that to the report but that doesn’t seem to be an option based on the mapping options. I tried doing a FlowField to but that didn’t seem to do the trick, though I’m admittedly a little shaky on my understanding of flow fields.
It sounds like you need to create a “Lookup FlowField”. This video should help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnq2PUSozDU
But your problem is going to be, that the footer elements do not have a table where you can add a FlowField, most of them uses the “Integer” table. So the current method of adding fields with SOD doesn’t work for that.
You will probably need to engage an AL developer…
