The discussion question was - 

I like to replace the existing Purchase Order Report with my Developed Purchase Order Report using the below condition-

I have added a filed Order Type and Value is say 1,2,3

If Order Type 1 then like to call Custom PO report ID-50001

If Order Type 2 then like to call Custom PO report ID-50002

If Order Type 3 then like to call Custom PO report ID-50003

Here is how I thought would be simple extension for it -

1. Add a Field in Purchase Header Table and Purchase order Page.

Using Table Extension add a field & using page extension add field in General Tab.

** Just for Demo I am using SDH Prefix/Suffix.

2. Add a Codeunit To Subscribe Event from Table Report Selection.

Check it is purchase order or not. If its not purchase order then exit otherwise call customize report.

3. Add Reports that you need. 

For Demo I just copied base Microsoft Report and saved in 5000 Numbers.

4. Test Process, Check Purchase order and check with Order Type = ''.

5. Test Process, Check Purchase order and check with Order Type = option2.

If you find this useful, or would like to enhance this please feel free to download / contribute using GitHub repo.
