When we are talking about reporting for your ERP/MRP application, we should mention, that you can not expect equal performance from all consultants. The matter of fact is – each consultant specializes in her/his own set of tools and has historical level of experience and so, expertise. Reporting is one of the most typical areas where delivery may stall and you as a customer may be completely frustrated. In the case of Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP let us give you some reporting highlights:

“The most powerful tool” – sometimes you hear from report developer, that the newest version of Crystal Reports of SRS will give you what is lacking to make the report work with current version. This statement is often true, but you should be conservative and ask you – is it really the fact that the technology didn’t work previous decades and all the sudden it will be doing the job only since now and on?
What Reporting Tool are Intended for? From experienced reporting designer, all the reporting tools are for listing and grouping the records from THE QUERY. The query is something that you create in SQL. If you expect that you will get reporting DB linking wizard to create perfect query for you – this might be overoptimistic
SQL Views and Stored Procedures. These two instruments are outside of the scope of the traditional reporting tools, and at the same time they make your report work to the specs. In our opinion reporting for Microsoft Dynamics GP should be considering from the position of creating relevant SQL View or SQL Stored Procedure
