    Hi,
     
    I think first of all, why exactly it's required at the report level, as it will each time when user is trying to change the amount or quantity or any other relevant data.
    Preview Posting is only a simulation → it shows temporary entries in memory, not real data.
    • Since nothing is actually posted, there is no stable dataset to generate a report.
    • Microsoft designed it this way to ensure only posted (final, auditable) G/L entries can be reported, avoiding confusion and compliance issues

    If your goal is to review the financial impact before posting, another standard option is to use the Pro Forma Invoice from the Sales Order.

    The Pro Forma Invoice provides a printable preview of the sales document before posting and can be shared with customers for review. However, it does not show the detailed G/L Entries that will be created during posting.

    For detailed accounting entries, the standard approach is still Preview Posting, which displays the expected G/L Entries, VAT Entries, Customer Entries, and other ledger entries before posting. A custom report would be required if you need those Preview Posting G/L Entries in a printable report format.

    Hello Alina,
    Not directly as a normal Sales Order report, because Preview Posting shows temporary preview entries before posting, not real posted G/L Entry records. Standard BC lets you open Sales Order > Posting > Preview Posting, then select G/L Entry and Show Related Entries to review the expected entries. If you need these entries printed/exported in a custom report from the Sales Order page, this would need customization to use the posting preview logic/temp entries, not a simple report on table G/L Entry.
    Regards,
