RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Crystal Report
Hi Harry, One has to go through the steps you described and know the data logic even if you write reports using the Axapta report writer. The Axpata report writer does not take care of the logic automatically and it certainly does not generate a specification for a report, so the reasons you mentioned do not hold trying to condemn third party report writer. What is important is the ease with which reports can be generated and the level of complexity that can be dealt with without breaking the budget and as far as that is concerned the Axapta report writer is, as you call it, “a massive pain”… Cheers Hannes JI Markusse Pr.

One of my clients wanted to make a report that will show the weighted average cost of an item (the one that appears on invent-on-hand) against each invoice line. I ended up writing a four page documentation to describe the Axapta process (four pages just to get the cost. Things like currency conversion, unit conversion, virtual companies etc got a one line mention). Now the client will have to make sure that the process still holds true after every service pack/ new version. Data in Axapta is logic specific. If one is not aware of the logic inside the application then using the data to generate the reports is nothing short of disaster (on top of that there is lack of any documentation in Axapta). In my opinion, external report writers should only be used only for modules like CRM which is basically just data storage, there is not any extensive data manipulation involved in CRM.
