Configuration

With the earlier versions of Business Central, you were allowed to run a report without specifying a layout, even if it was not a processing only report.

However with the recent version of Business Central it is mandatory to specify both the DefaultLayout and the path to the layout via the RDLCLayout or WordLayout or ExcelLayout properties.

Once these properties are the defined the error is resolved.

Furthermore you can also resolve this error by using the report rendering section which has been made available since runtime 9.0.

However be sure to define the DefaultRenderingLayout property for the report to specify which of the layouts defined should be considered as default.
