Multiple Invoice copy



How to make copies based on the value for each invoice from XML
The copies are different for each invoice.

make two loop, one for the no of invoice , which controls , number of invoice to printed.

Now you need to make , number of copies based on element, for each invoice.
so , make a group variable, for outer loop, so that you refer them in the header and footer, so that the context is maintained through out the page.

Make a loop now, using foreach_number, based on the copies element.

and put your logic or style for the report, inside this inner loop.

But what ever you put, you got to prepend as $G1, otherwise inner loop context will be applied and report will be blank , if you ain't.

Hi,

I followed the same logic for my RTF using for-each-group, $G1 and foreach_number. It works fine and output the expected result.

But when i upload it on JDE, i don't get any output. In the logs it mentions there is an error around the foreach_number loop.

Can you please help?

Thanks

Right click and select table properties 3. On the Row tab properties , specify that the header row should be repeated on every page 4. Save the RTF 5.

But this solution gives you how to fix no of rows per page. In the forum Heated discussion Users are arguing for having a placeholder in same fixed place on all pages, irrespective of no of lines , increased line size due to word-wrap. Here i am not going to discuss anything related to that. But a simple logic of , how to fix number of rows. Step 1: Loop through the records and display them Step 2: Have a condition for MOD of position(), then insert a page-break on the result of Zero Step 3. Blank row has to be filled, a condition has to be added, to find how many blank rows ROWLIMIT - (count of row mod ROWLIMIT) will gives us the rows to be filled. Step 4: use foreach_number function to simulate the iteration. Refer the images below
