IF Customer."Customer Posting Group" = 'BAK' THEN BEGIN
IF Customer."Monthly Install" <> 0 THEN BEGIN
   //BAKTotalCustBal := "Detailed Cust. Ledg. Entry"."Amount (LCY)";
   BAKCustBal1 := "Cust. Ledger Entry". Amount;
   BAKArreasVar:= -Customer."Monthly Install" - "Cust. Ledger Entry".Amount;
END;
END;
BAKArreasVarTotal:=ArreasVarTotal+BAKArreasVar;
BAKTotCustBal1 += BAKCustBal1;

The Cust. Ledger Entry table Amount field is a flowfield. To have it populated with the amount you must
"Cust. Ledger Entry".CALCFILELDS(Amount);

Then you can add the amount to your variable.

But a more efficient way of getting the customer balance is
Customer.CALCFIELDS(Balance);

Yes, you can use the Balance field and you can use the CREATETOTALS on the report to calc the totals. Search for the CREATETOTALS and how to use it in Manual or on the forum.

Hi there its better to use the Rec.Calcfields(Amount) or the CREATETOTALS on the OnPreDataItem

The commands are for totaly different purpose there... you cannot ask "what is better"... you need CALCFIELDS to cal correct value of the flowfield, you need CREATETOTALS to create totals of some variable/field...
