Income statements using Crystal

I have a ton of Income Statements that drill down - I use grouping within Crystal as much as I can and also On Demand Sub Reports to go down to GLTrans but normally that's pretty low in the drill - usually something like consoidated, then company, then account or accounting unit then to GL Trans. I do have some that I have to drill to another report also.

We are using the RW row listing definitions from the RW tables to define our Crystal Report group structure. Then we are calling the data we need for the IS and other financials from the Lawson tables. The Crystal Reports use a command to call the database views. There is a view that defines the groups and another view that defines the financial data we need.

Thanks Heather, what is reason for using the RW tables for the group structure.. does it help in validation?

The team who manages changes to the chart of accounts and GL structure also maintains the RW updates. That allows those changes to automatically be included in our Crystal Reports.

Hi Heather - I'm getting ready to try and rewrite our RW100 income statement in crytal but i'm having trouble with the grouping in crystal. I've seen a couple posts that said they used a view of teh rwrowdet file to control the grouping in crystal. i was wondering if you could give me more information on how the view was written
