Reporting in Business Central

Some say reporting is difficult in Business Central. Maybe so. Reporting requires an in-depth knowledge of the data schema, data quality, and the purpose of the report. That kind of knowledge takes years to foster. Newcomers are at a disadvantage.

But with so many reporting platforms – from the provided reports to third-party tools like PowerBI – reporting has never been better. Additionally, more than any other solution endeavor, reporting requires as much time from the client as from the developer. Collaboration and real-time feedback are critical to success. A developer cannot succeed in isolation.

For decades customers built the myth of the isolated developer. In the case of writing and honing reporting, the myth flips on its head and developers should become absolutely chatty. But they have to have someone to chat with. The right person for that conversation is always to report requestor.
