Hi ,
Indeed the way DRA is currently working is not good for the printing of configurable business documents as well.
They are always printed in PDF and when DRA is running as a service, they get put in a separate directory. When running as desktop app, Acrobat reader opens on the print server to be able to print the document.
Indeed not really userfriendly as well.
Invoices need to be printed in different store locations, production documents in different production sites, logistics documents in different warehouses ... .
Most cases where we run into this issue is related to sales, production and/or logistics.
A lot of customers are very disappointed in the behavior of the DRA.
They need to have an external application (--> extra license and support cost) to do their document generation because the DRA can't fulfill their printing needs for the electronic reporting documents.
Or they need extra tools on the print server to automate printing.
So this universal print (if it works as I understand it does) would kind of be the missing link that we need.
Also referring to this Yammer post where we have been requesting this for quite some time now.

Richard Dickinson was also looking into this on the Yammer Thread.
Many thanks!

We also need this. Vendors are delivering goods on specific weekdays.
Currently we have done a modification for the classic MRP. This includes:
- option of adding a receipt calendar for the vendor.
- using dynamic coverage period to encounter for vendor opening days.
- adding a fixed receipt calendar in the Item coverage to handle transfer orders on fixed weekdays.
Kindly address the above issues in the Planning optimization engine so we can avoid addressing this again.
Hello Sonny Pawchuk,
I think that as user you don't need Visual Studio for design layout. You can use Report Builder. Or you can just edit *.rdl as plain text.
On my Yammer post you can see it:

Preview of report is just about join RLDC Layout + DataSet Data.
This can be done by simple WinForm app using "Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer".
this.reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = _rdlcFile; // load rldc file
this.reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(reportDataSource); // load dataset (DataSet.xml)
this.reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;
this.reportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(parameters); // load parameters (labels)
this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport(); // refresh report preview
If Microsoft provide DataSet like in NAV... It again enables possibility to do real-time report preview in design time. Also it enables better RDLC report troubleshooting. Imagine that you have production enviroment, where report layout is bad. You can export DataSet (Xml) and then you can do design layout on your local...
