    Posted: 04 Jul 2013 at 3:33am
Hi all
I'm new to the forum and quite new to Crystal reports, I'm trying to build a bill of Materials report that allows the user to select by the parent item's category which then shows the child items for that parent.

I have tried to set up a parameter {?Category} and using the selection expert to set "{?Category}=OITM.U_Category" but this returns NULL.

What I want to be able to do is select the child items and the parent for all items where the parent item (ITT1.Father) is in the chosen {?category}.
As it is I can happily choose a range of BOMs for parent items r a BOM for a single Parent item but not by category

Many thanks

one would think that you would just join/link tables to get the report.

if the child and the parent are different tables, it's easier conceptually to join them, and if they are in the same table, you would add the table into the report twice and link them (a self join in sql)
