doing the following in <dac>_RowSelected allows users to print the report for a receipt, regardless of its status.  Hopefully someone will find this helpful...

 protected void POReceipt_RowSelected(PXCache cache, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e) {
    POReceipt row = (POReceipt)e.Row;
    if (row != null) {
       ACMEReceipt.SetEnabled(row.ReceiptNbr.Trim() != "<NEW>"); // allow report for any record that has been saved
    }
 }

The Customization Project way seems to be the "new way" so I would try that first. I have no hard evidence to support this, but I wonder if Automation Steps will still be around in 2-3 years.

Thank you for the example.  I was able to add a report to the Purchase order screen via Automation Steps but the Purchase Receipts screen behaved differently and I couldn't.  Haven't had an AP or AR screen need yet but sure I will.  Yes - little frustrating.......

The inconsistencies with the ease of how you can use Automation steps to add reports in the SO and PO screens is frustrating because the AP and AR screens this has to be done with code - these little nuances make you think twice before what you promise to a customer, below is some sample code to add a report to the AP Bills and Memo's screen, (hope it makes sense)

    public PXAction<POReceipt> ACMEPOReceipt; 
     
     
    protected virtual void ACMEPOReceipt() 
      { POReceipt current = Base.Document.Current; 
        if (current.ReceiptNbr!= null) 
        {
            Dictionary<string, string> parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();
          parameters = current.ReceiptType;
          parameters = current.ReceiptNbr;
            throw new PXReportRequiredException(parameters, "MA646999", null);
        }
      } 
  
  
    public override void Initialize() 
    { base. Initialize(); 
      Base.report.AddMenuAction(ACMEPOReceipt) ; 
     }

I have not done a full audit of the screens, maybe Acumatica should be providing this to us.

Just looking for feedback, best practices, etc. on this matter.  Thanks in advance for  any direction.
