I have an RW100 income statement that works, but it takes 8 hours to run. I would like to rewrite this just using the lawson tables in crystal reports, but i'm having trouble with the grouping for my subtotals. I've read a couple posts that said they were able to create a view using the rwrowdet file to control the grouping in crystal, but I'm not sure how to do this/what fields to use. If anyone has information on how I could do this or a diffrent way i could write this I would greatly appreciat it. I know crystal is not the optimal tool for writing income statement, but i have to use this tool so it can be bursted to LBI.

We handle this using attributes at the account level. In MX00 we create an attribute (FINACCT1) and assign values For Assets (A100 - A999) , Liabilities (L100-L999) Revenue (R100-R999), ect. Then in the Chart (GL00) we assign the proper attribute at the account level. In Crystal, I then group by the attribute.

We use crystal reports mostly for our lawson reports.. we have a few reports left in RW.. this is because we have a more complex reporting needs than what RW can handle.. If I am the one creating this Income Statement, I will use the GLCHARTDTL and GLCHARTSUM to manage my grouping.. by using these tables I will free myself from maintaining/updating the report every time there's a new account added.. I hope this helps you.. Good luck
