Can Subreport Solve this Issue

[susobh.sugathan]

Hi,

I have a scenario below.

I need to print an Invoice together with an acknowledgement letter. (Seperate for each customer)

 

Sample data

Customer                  Invoice             Date                 Amount

A1                               INV001            01/01/2010     1000

A2                               INV002            03/02/2010      2000

A1                               INV003            03/02/2010      1500

 

Ineed to print as below

Acknowledgement (first Page)

Customer : A1

INV            Date                   Amount

INV001     01/01/2010       1000

INV003     03/02/2010        1500

                                                2500

after this need to print the above invoices (001 and 003) on seperate pages (page 2 and 3)

 

Acknowledgement (Page 4)

Customer : A2

INV            Date                   Amount

INV002     03/02/2010       2000

                                               2000

after this need to print the above invoice (002) on next page(page 5)

 

SO in total the file should be in 5 pages.

 

Can someone help..? Can subreports do this?

[gert_1]

Yes this can be done with JasperReport with 1 page and the help of 1 table and 1 subreport.

Main query (dataset):

Here you should make a query and GROUP BY Customer. This way it returns X (is amount of customers) record, and the whole report is repeated X times.

Table on first page:       

You have to define table on the first page. As parameter you should send the 'Customer' and then make a query for that tables that returns all the invoices of that parameter (Customer).

 

If you preview now, you'll see page 1 and page 4 (from your example)

Subreport on second page

Now you place a subreport on the second page. As parameter you give it 'Customer' as well, and you could use the same query: it returns the report as many times as there are records in teh result.

 

Good luck with it

You do not need to use sub report to produce the report as per your design requirement. Please take a look at this wiki article for a sample report based on your requirement:
