Solution:

After changing the orientation to either Portrait or Landscape for a Sage Pro ERP report, it does not print the report in its new orientation. This article will explain the recommended process to change the orientation of a report.

The steps in this article can be applied with most reports in Sage Pro. The following example will use the Open Receivables Aging report from Accounts Receivable (AR).

Example One

To change the default orientation for any standard Sage Pro report, a new custom report needs to be created then change the ordination for that report from the Customize Reports Maintenance screen. For more information, use the following steps.

1. Under the Print menu point to Sales/Status Reports,  Open Receivables Aging and click on Detail; the Open Receivables Aging Detail Report option grid appears.
2. Leave all options to default.
3. Click Generate.
4. Located on the top-right corner of the option grid select Organize from the list; the Customize Report Maintenance screen appears.
5. Expand AR from the Custom Report branch.
6. Click AROREC.
7. Click the Add button, the Custom Report and Filters tab becomes active.
8. Type the appropriate information for the following fields:
   1. Seq#
   2. Custom Report
   3. Path
9. Select either Landscape or Portrait from the Orientation list.
10. Save the changes.

Once this is done, printing or previewing should display the report using the correct orientation.
