Has anybody tried to query the invoice comments table to create a report.
Are you willing to share any ideas on how to create a report since the comments are stored in 2 places.
Ruma,
We needed to pull some comments for a SN for Contract labor. Here is the entire code. You can see where we pulled some comments out of A/P. Hope this helps:
