Create one report that has the ability to run for multiple companies without any additional setup

By | January 18, 2017

To create a report which works with any Sage 300 Company database, Crystal Reports needs a method to determine the path of the data needed in the report. Fortunately, Sage 300 automatically passes this information to the report if 3 parameters are added to the report. These parameters are CMPNAME, PATH and EXT. The parameters must be in uppercase and spelled exactly the same. To add parameters:
