Creating a General Ledger Report

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 131

Hi,

If I wanted to create a General Ledger report using either the data entities available in Data Management or in the "Open in Excel" feature.  Do you know which data entities would work best.

I am trying to get a GL report that will autorefresh and that is in excel.  We are trying to not have to always run a new GL thru "Financial Reports"

Thanks,

I have the same question (0)

    Does the out of box Trial balance inquiry not meet your needs?  General ledger>Inquiries and reports>Trial balance.

    Hi - It does, once I click into the "Closing Balance" and see the line item details.

    Is there a way to export the Trial balance thru data entities/data management?

    Hi Trevor,

    I cannot confirm that the below will give you what you want, but they might help.

    A while back I started playing with PowerBI Desktop and Odata connection, to try and see if I could do what you mentioned - Financial reporting outside D365FO.  But I admit I gave up as the ODATA connection was way to slow.

    However below were the entities I started with

    Not that I'm aware of.  You could have a custom data entity developed for that purpose.
