Dynamics Gp Ssrs Custom Reports Design

As you might be aware Microsoft released predefined SQL Server Reporting Services pack compatible with version 10.0 and current 2010

. You can install them directly from installation DVD. However in our opinion SSRS deserves special consideration as it is web based comparing to Crystal Reports designer. Of course such reports as General Ledger Detail or Summary Trial Balances could be installed and generated on demand however we would like to give you some highlights on the option to build web enabled reports from scratches:

1.Custom Report Creation Recommendations. In initial experimenting it is good idea to try all possible wizards to get a feeling about the product and how does it work. Complex report often requires SQL data query abstraction in such instruments as Stored Procedure or SQL View. Reporting tool is a great help however it is geared to layout design. It is possible to link tables directly in the designer but your options are limited comparing to all-mighty SQL Server Stored Procedure or View

2.Advantages of web enabled reporting. Of course there is GP Business Portal where you can have your established business partners to place the orders over the web, have your employees do self-service regarding payroll check stubs or implement such cool thing as Requisition Management module. And you can now enable so-called custom managerial reporting over the web or something line project profitability or commercial documents printout such as invoice, bill of lading or freight forwarding settlement report. SSRS Reporting pack could be installed on IIS as well as in Sharepoint environment

3.Rapid evolution in Microsoft technologies. Such traditional tools as Great Plains Dexterity, Integration Manager or Modifier with VBA are staying so far evolution sort of stable or even neutral. New tools such as eConnect, Microsoft Visual Studio Tools, SSRS reporting to Dynamics GP are in the territory where change is more rapid. This article is not only intended for IT manager but as well to business owner. Try to neutralize possible future upgrade impact in the sense of high consulting budget. SQL data query language was introduced in earlier 1970th and it stays the same with some reasonable improvements but if you are using your old SQL experience then your code should be able to do the job. Data repair for Great Plains is often done on SQL Server Management Studio Query level where you are doing controlling select statement and then repair the data via update statement

4.Second Opinion. The majority of calls from orphan customers who were screwed up by other consulting firms are Microsoft Dexterity customization related especially when customer is facing version update project and custom module is not compatible with new release. Tables created in Dexterity directly could be obviously addressed in SSRS so reporting is still update neutral. Second place negative champion is historical data conversion. Luxury approach is dangerous as data migration is often comes out of control and over budget

5.GP in Microsoft Dynamics ERP family. The news is definitely great but the real life often requires time to make all the customers happy. At this time we see the trend to make user interface similar for all of Dynamics ERP family of products. Maybe in the future we will see more efforts in recoding Great Plains, Navision, Solomon and Axapta in C# following some of the recommendations of Project Green back in 2004
