D365 SCM SRS Report Attributes Explained

Context

When building an SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) report in D365 SCM using X++, you construct a data contract class to hold report parameters. Three attributes wire this infrastructure together. The requirements in the question map to the three layers of that structure.

Attribute Placements

Requirement 1 → SRSReportParameterAttribute

Applied to the data contract class to bind it to a specific report. It tells the SRS framework "this contract class belongs to this report." Without it, the runtime cannot associate the parameter class with the correct report definition.

[DataContractAttribute, SRSReportParameterAttribute(classStr(SrsReportRunController))]
class CustProjInvoiceContract { ... }

Requirement 2 → DataMemberAttribute

Applied to individual parm methods inside the data contract class. Each parameter the user can filter on (e.g., date range, customer account) must be decorated with this attribute so the serialization framework exposes it to the report dialog and the SRS parameter mapping.

[DataMemberAttribute('FromDate')]
public TransDate parmFromDate(...) { ... }

Requirement 3 → DataContractAttribute

Applied to the class declaration itself. Marks the class as an X++ data contract - enabling serialization and making it recognizable to both the SRS parameter infrastructure and the SysOperation framework.

Why SysOperationControlVisibilityAttribute Is Not Used

This attribute controls UI control visibility in SysOperation dialogs (hiding/showing fields at runtime). It has no role in defining or binding SRS report parameters, making it a deliberate distractor.

Common Mistakes

Mental Model

Think of it as three concentric layers:

• DataContractAttribute → the class is a contract
• DataMemberAttribute → these methods are parameters
• SRSReportParameterAttribute → this contract belongs to that report
