Hi Friends

When I am upgrading the reports from Nav 2009 to Nav 2013. The formats of the reports become very difficult to understand. I should say the reports become very clattered. Fields in reports get move from one position to another and Its almost impossible to read the reports

Is their any way to come out from this situation? This problem arises when I do "upgrade report" option in Nan 2013

This problem must have been faced by others also. How they come out from this

Any suggestion will provide great help

Regards

    In this case, have you looked at developing the reports from scratch in NAV 2013?
    It sounds like you have a lot of sections and code. In this case you could design a new reports and either re-do or paste the code in the data items, and if any of the code is print specific, add that code in the Visual Studio layout.

    If your NAV 2009 report already has a decent RDLC layout, then you can upgrade that report to NAV 2013 using the onboard Upgrade Report function in NAV 2013. I did that today for a heavily customized Posted Sales Invoice Report and it just worked without any rendering issues, which was above my expectations. In 2013 it looked exactly the same as in 2009. You will encouter some compilation problems however in the process which are not difficult to deal with. If your 2009 report does not have a decent RDLC layout, which I assume is the case, then you are watching the default RDLC layout or even the result of the onboard CreateLayoutSuggestion function. In both cases it's probably best to take deep breath and start from scratch in NAV 2013.

    Thanks for reply friends

    It really become very tedious task. Redesigning reports from scratch is a pain full task

    In Nav 2009 how we can think about the ideal layout for Nav 2013? Because most of the reports are coming from classic. As per Nav 2009 the layout of report is perfect, but layout gets change when we convert those reports in Nav 2013

    Is their any way that we can design the ideal layout of Nav reports in 2009? Then we can think about converting those reports in Nav 2013.

    Regards
