How to add Comment Text from transaction screen to the Crystal Report

By | November 30, 2020

In Sage X3, user have an option to add comment against every transaction screen on right panel after attachment symbol. In this comment field user can enter an additional information as per the requirements for e.g. description, terms & conditions, declaration, note etc. This comment field is considered as a header comment field which is applicable for that particular transaction. Some of our clients has a requirement to print this comment field on the standard or custom report.
