How to Add a Custom Report in Sage
ERP X3
Joe Noll

2-3 minutes

Most times clients do not use the AP Check format that is delivered
with Sage ERP X3. So for this example I am going to be creating a
custom version of AP Checks. We will be starting with the base
format and just making a copy of it to use instead of starting from
scratch.

1. Go to Development -> Processes -> Reports

2. Pull up an existing report code (e.g. XBCHECKS)

3. Add a "Z" in front of the report code to indicate it is a customer


changed report

4. Change the Crystal Report Name to reference ZXBCHECKS

5. Click on the Parameters tab and change any references to the old
report name

6. Click the Create button to save the new report code

7. Go to Parameters -> Destinations -> Print Codes

8. Sort the list by Print Code and check through the list to see if the
report you are copying exists

9. If the report exists, insert a new line in the grid referencing the new
print code

10. Click Save to save your changes for the new report

11. Go to Parameters -> Destinations -> Default Values

12. Search through the list on Report Code for the existing report

13. Pull up the entry for the existing report

14. Select the contents of the grid and copy/paste them into Excel

15. Add a "Z" in front of the reports field to reference the newly created
report

16. Add the default values by copying and pasting from Excel into the
grid (each field individually)

17. Once the parameter defaults match, click the Create button

18. In windows explorer, make a copy of the existing crystal report file
and rename it with a Z in front

(servernameC$SAGESAGEX3V6X3V6FoldersX3REPORTENGZXBCHECKS.rpt

19. To have a report specific to an individual folder, create it in PILOT


or PROD respectively. Otherwise the individual folders use the
report from the X3 reference folder.

(servernameC$SAGESAGEX3V6X3V6FoldersPRODREPORTENGZXBCHECKS.rpt

20. In X3, go to Reports -> Reports and select the newly created report
code, enter the parameters and click the Print button to run the new
report

21. Make any needed changes in Crystal Designer to the Z form.
