Up until the release of Dynamics NAV 5.00, the application suffered slightly from a lack of any standard way to show tracking information on sales, purchase and warehouse documents.

Microsoft have now started to remedy this situation to a certain degree.

Look at the Sales Shipment report (208) in a Cronus database. Sitting at the bottom of the Options tab is a check box called Show Serial/Lot No. Appendix. Ticking this option will print an appendix page giving a breakdown of the lot/serial information associated with the shipment.

The appendix page hasn’t been applied to all appropriate reports though, so it still leaves some work for us to do…

The following example shows how you can add the appendix page to to any Document type report, using the Purchase Receipt Report (408) to illustrate.
