I have use the DB-Approval Generic inquiry from the Dashboards as base for a report for one of my clients. The only problem I had, is that they wanted “Approved Total” amount brought into the Generic Inquiry, had 6 decimals, and my client wanted only 2, after spending several minutes trying every single idea I read from this community and AUGForums regarding style, formulas or else, I could not make it work.

So, I added DAC PX.Objects.AP.APInvoice, into the Generic Inquiry and did not related to anything, and used it to have the Schema Field from APInvoice. CuryDocBal, to get the format, and that worked for the GI. Would this cause any issues with the GI? I could not find any issues at first glance, but, wanted another opinion.

 

Thank you. 

Hi @martingaxiola! There won’t be any issues, this is one of the great ways that schemas can work.

No need to join the table into the GI using relations if you’re only going to use it as a schema and pretty sure it’s the only thing you can do with an unlinked table in a GI.


@martingaxiola Adding a table (DAC) to a GI to use its field formatting properties does not have a negative impact and is the prescribed method to use.

 


Thank you for confirming @BenjaminCrisman, I will deliver this to the client then. I really appreciate your prompt respose.
