Store multiple company logo in one company

Basically, on the company setup, create a new record and use the standard Navision form to upload you into the BLOB field.

This will eliminate any need for modification (other than the reports)!

It's the wrong link.

Also If you have multiple companies, You could Do a
CompInfo.ChangeCompany and get the picture from the other company.

Oops... Just fixed the link.

Yeah, but sometimes when a copy sets up a DBA (Doing Business As) to the main corporation, all the transactions is still under one company. But when they invoice the customer, they want to use the information on the DBA.

Just use companyinfo.GET if you want to use the standard logo. And use companyinfo.get('1') if you want logo for the DBA company.

We sometimes add a new field in the table (with all the necessary coding). It takes longer, but we think it's clearer for the end user... . :-k

I think the same. And it doesn't CHANGE the base logic of Navision (=base logic= 1 record in the company setup table) buts ADDS logic (=extra BLOB-field).
It is always better for upgrades and maintenance to ADD logic and not to CHANGE logic.

Really? Personally, I prefer to implement Navision without minimal modifications.

Yes, adding additional picture fields may be clearer, but if the company likes to create a bunch of DBAs for branding purposes, it may be better to just not modify it in the first place.

Usually on these kind of reports and invoices there is some logic that tells it what picture to print. For example customers with this these posting group will require this picture, or with these dimension this picture.

So with compinfo solution, You'll have new records for every posting group or dimension and the code will equal the companyInfo. You'll still have to modify the company Info form, so that they can see the code and insert new records with code.

I usually add the field to Posting group or Dimension value table and grab it when you print the reports.

This is really a minuscule that it's not worth talking about.

Let's just say this "problem" has multiple good solutions
