Reportings in Dynamics 365 Business Central.

In Dynamics 365 Business Central, you have the option to design reports yourself via Word and Excel layouts. For example, you can customize the invoice design or build email templates.

Dimensions are attributes or values that categorize entries (customer ledger entries, vendor ledger entries,  G/L entries, etc.), so you can track and analyze them. They are attached to master or transaction data in the work process so that you can find additional information at the entry level. The more dimensions you set up and use, the more detailed the reports you can draw on for business decisions.

These are not programmed fields, but an entity that can also be freely configured by the user or administrator. In addition, the filling of the dimensions at the document level can be automated, for example, by preassigning them at the master data level (e.g. assigning a specific territory code per postal code).

Examples

• dimension “department” in sales orders → track which department has sold how many items
• dimension “ZIP code” in sales orders → track which area the customers are from
• dimension “commissionable goods” in sales orders → track how much commissionable goods a salesperson has sold
• dimension “bonus-eligible goods” in sales orders → track how much bonus-eligible goods a seller has sold
• Cost center dimension
• Cost unit dimension

Power BI integration lets you create easy-to-use charts based on your data from Dynamics 365 Business Central. These charts can be tightly integrated into your dashboard. In the application, you can:

• select reports
• manage reports
• upload reports

You can extract the reports you create to Excel at the touch of a button.

Dynamics 365 Business Central allows you to deliver reports on a scheduled and automated basis. For example, you can automatically have any report sent to your boss’s inbox once a week at 8 a.m.

Dynamics 365 Business Central provides a number of predefined standard reports.
