Hello,

You can try this. When you select the option Print, and when you choose Output Device, then go to Properties, double click to Format, choose the desired Format, then go to Settings and for the specified format select tab Copy settings. I am using this option mainly for the Line Item Display (for example, for Vendor), but I think it can be used for all reports.

Best regards,

Dragan

Ok. If you use transaction fbl1n, for example, then when you get the screen with the open and closed items of the selected vendor go to option Print (CTRL+P), or List -> Print. On the next screen choose your Output Device (for example, LOCL or PDF), then go to the tab Properties at the bottom of the screen. On the next screen under General attributes find Format and double click to it, then go to the field Format, press F4 or go to the possible selection, choose the desired Format, for example X_65_255, then go to the tab Settings at the bottom of the screen. On the next screen under Default for field select again your format (I think it will already be there) and then select tab Copy settings. At the end press Enter.

Best regards,

Dragan
