PLD use to display account names

Question

Hi,
I am attempting to edit the Account Balance Printout (Chart Of Accounts Drill down on an account). My aim is to get the account names for the offset account instead of the account codes. In the print layout designer I added another field at the end of the report Source Type: Database Table: OACT Field: Account Name. Relate to: I selected the field that is displaying the offset account.
This works well for offset accounts that are GL accounts but the Business Partner names are not being displayed where the offset account is a business partner code.
Kindly help.
R.

Hello Richard,
It is quite obvious, if you are using the OACT (G/L Account table) to get the Account Name and reference a BP Code value it would not work.
I am not sure if getting the BP Name would even work though I could give you tehe steps to try
Add another database field,
Table: OCRD    (Press ALT key when clicking Table selection drop down to display all the tables in the Database)
Field: CardName
Add a Formula field to check if the value in the Offset is a BP Code (you could use something like Offset Field starts with 'xx' where xx is your BP Code naming convension)
Link this formula to the above database field OCRD.CardName (in the link to field)
