FAQ: Does B1 Print & Delivery support printing in Add mode + draft documents?

Support in Add Mode

Add mode is nu supported as data need to be in the database before we can make a Crystal report and in add-mode it only exist on the screen. There you instead get this warning:

Cannot execute B1 Print and Delivery in Add or Update mode as Crystal Reports require data is in the database.

Support for Draft Printing

For this case the answer is Both yes and no.

Yes, you can make B1P&D react on the draft document by setting the field "Allow Draft Printing" to 'Y' in the B1P&D config table ([@BOY_85_BASECONFIG]).

However, the default layout that comes with B1P&D does not support the draft tables.

You will need to supply your own layout that has support for pulling the data from the SAP draft tables.

NB: We do not plan to add a default document that supports drafts. 

For a more detailed explanation why we do not support it out for the box, please see this video on the topic:
