use XML file in order report

Dear Adarsh

The standard output of IFS order reports if printed or emailed, is a PDF file.  With the XML file being available, it is easier to send the XML to any such system ( to which IFS is to be integrated).  By having this directly within the product, we can eliminate the transformation of the report, during the integration.

Report Engine is capable of calling IFS connect to send the report in XML, so that the Reciver ( internal or external companies) can read the XML much easier than investing in an OCR to read the PDF.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lots for your info.

At the time of design and create new report design then that time asking XML AND XSD file and then we create report.

So why are use XML. Still same question ..

Dear Andrew

During the time of report creation it is an XSL (not XML) and XSD files. 

The XSL is the Layout file with the report format, whereas the XSD is the schema design.

The XML file is part of the report output.
