Financial Reporting Options for BC

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,108
Earlier this year we had developed a strategy to propose Solver with every BC implementation.  Since then, their pricing model has changed which pushes out some of our smaller customers.  Larger and mid-level customers are still a fit.  We've also looked at Cosmos which also follows a similar pricing model.
 
That said we are looking for options for a good financial reporting package.  Our customers need a little more flexibility especially with columns and dimensional reporting that is not inherent in the base BC financial reports.  I am open to suggestions and would appreciate any advice that can be provided.  I am looking for something that can empower end users to build their own rows, columns, and reports as with the older Management Reporter system.  Essentially we want to empower users to take ownership of their own reports.  We'd appreciate any feedback that can be provided and look forward to a response.

    Have you looked into Jet Reports? Based on my experience its the most popular third party add-on for financial reporting.

    Appreciate the feedback Valentin,
     
    I've thought about Jet and may look in that direction.  Their sales people can be difficult as they will sometimes hold their pricing close until they've had an opportunity to demo and discuss.  Do you know what their current pricing structure runs (ball park)?  I won't hold you to it.  I don't need a demo or extensive conversation with them at this stage.  I know the product will fit for our client needs.  I just need to get a sense as to pricing to see how that will work.
     
    Again appreciate the help.

    Feel free to message me on LinkedIn, and I can share the details with you. I’d rather not post it here publicly since they were secretive about it (though I’m not sure why, but it’s their choice)—or maybe other users will post it here first...

    Hi, Microsoft will add the following standard Power BI Reports in next month's version (BC25.1), I think you can try to see if it can meet your needs before considering other solutions.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    Might be worth looking at Sharperlight at https://www.sharperlight.com/. Very much focused on self-service reporting with Business Central. Has an Excel add-in for cell based, table and list queries with drill into the data and drill back into BC. Also has web reporting including web spreadsheets and dashboards. It also enables writeback into BC, you can upload journals, Sales and Purchase Documents using the Excel add-in. Has pricing on the website https://www.sharperlight.com/partner-pricing-and-ordering/
