Title: Can we call another package with in a package
Post by: rajua99 on 01 Jul 2010 11:54:56 AM
Hello,

We designed 6 packages one for each application. When we are designing reports i know that we can't create single report using multiple packages. We can only use 1 package for 1 report.

Is it possible to call another package with in a package for our reporting needs.

Ex: We have a package one for General Ledger and another for Job Cost.
Is it possible to call General Ledger Package with in a Job Cost Package and create a new package using those 2 packages so that we can design a single report using that new package.

Thanks,
Raju

Hi,

How many FM models do you have - one model from which all 6 packages are published, or 6 separate models, each published into a single package?

If it's the former, then simply create a new package with all the required contents from the General Ledger and Job Cost metadata.

If it's the latter, you can create a new empty model, then add each of the other models as a segment, then publish a package from the new model containing all the required contents.

Regards,

MF.
