Hi All,

I am trying to print the Order Confirmation report from the Customer Order page and display the attached media in the report preview. I have already set the media Print Option to Print, but the media still does not appear when I print or preview the report.

I would really appreciate it if you could help me understand how this functionality works and what might be missing.

Thank you!

Hi ​@MitDenukN ,

What’s happening

You’ve set:

  • Media → Print Option = Print

But:

 That only makes the media available for printing
 It does NOT automatically include it in the report layout

 Why media is not showing

In IFS:

  • Media (attachments/images) are:
    • stored separately
  • Reports (RDL / Crystal):
    • must explicitly fetch and render media

 So unless the report is designed to:

  • retrieve media
  • display it

 it won’t appear

 What people usually check

✔ 1. Report layout (MOST IMPORTANT)

Check your Customer Order Confirmation report:

  • Does it include:
    • media retrieval logic?
    • image field / BLOB handling?

 Standard reports usually:

  • do NOT include media by default

✔ 2. Media connection

Verify:

  • Media is attached to:
    • correct LU (CustomerOrder / line / header)
  • Media type:
    • image / PDF (supported)

✔ 3. Print option meaning

Important clarification:

 “Print = Yes” means:

  • media is allowed to be printed
  • not that it will be automatically included

 What people usually do

✔ Option 1 (most common)

Customize the report:

  • Modify RDL / Crystal
  • Add:
    • media retrieval API
    • image field

 Example (concept):

  • fetch media via:
    • document/media API
  • bind to report image control

✔ Option 2

Use:

  • Document Management integration
  • Attach documents via:
    • report-aware structures

✔ Option 3 (simpler workaround)

  • Include media reference:
    • URL / link
  • instead of embedding image

 Key limitation

 Out-of-the-box:

  • Customer Order Confirmation:
    • does NOT automatically print attachments/media
