Posted on by johnny@365freelance...

Hi,

I previous versions of AX (AX2009 and earlier) the report called Financial statement could be configured to dynamically show new accounts or dimensions whenever they were created by using ranges and the option "Print subcomponents".

I don't find similar feature in Management Reporter, only that I have to run periodically the Missing Account Analysis to be sure that all accounts are included in the reports.

Any similar "Print subcomponents" solution in Management Reporter?

Hello Johnny,

Except for the 'Missing Account Analysis' function you can possibly add some total rows in your report.

Lets say if you are creating a P&L statement then you can possibly establish a total row at the end of the report that includes all accounts that have a P&L main account category attached and then build the difference to the total profit / loss shown in the P&L statement. This is of course not a guarantee that all accounts are included in the report because one could simply forget assigning an account category but as a secondary check this might be ok.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Thank you Ludwig for the response.

What you suggest are work-arounds around the actual problem; we do not have the feature "Print subcomponents" in AX2012/MR that dynamically print the accounts/dimensions on reports as they are added in AX - or do we?

Hello Johnny,

The Missing Account Analysis function is the replacement for what we used previously as instrument for identifying new ledger accounts.

You can possibly establish alerts as a second 'safeguard' to identify newly created accounts that need to be incorporated into your reports.

If this is not sufficient you would have to create a report / query yourself, which requires, however, that the created date/time is tracked for your ledger accounts.

Best regards,

Ludwig
