Printing a Multi-Level BOM Report for an Effectivity Resolved BOM

Hi Kamran,

which report engine to you plan to use? 

- XSLT (the one you get out of the box)
- SQL Reporting Service
- ??

XSLT is unfortunately very hard to customize. If you have a subscription, ask Aras if they have a template!

If you have a subscription, maybe also wait for Innovator 24. In this version Aras adds a new reporting service based on Query Definition. Much easier to customize than XSLT and more secure that SQL.

Does anyone else know more?

Hi Angela,

Thanks for your detailed response. We are at the moment on an older version. We may wait till our upgrade before we implement effectivity.

I suppose Aras is reading this. We do have subscription, however, I don't expect them to provide a template (if they have any). I will have to push for it.

Thanks again,

Kamran Aftab

You said you use an older version. How old?

They current versions (>12SP7) have an Export to Excel button in the BOM Structure tab. Not a real report, but at least some solution to export the effectivity result.

In latest Innovator version Aras improved this feature so you get xlsx instead of the xls.

I was referring to the new reporting tool. We are on 12SP14, kicking off the upgrade project tomorrow

Excel export does not work for us. It does not include the top item for one, and it is not customizable like the Multi-level BOM report is. We are trying to get something from Aras Support in the way of an XSLT template, or anything else. 

Thanks for your suggestions.
