Add Inventory Dimension Details in Purchase Receiving Log report in D365FO

Requirements: 

Purchase Receiving log report is an SSRS report. The requirement is to have columns of different inventory dimensions. The present output of the report is given below:


Solution:

To achieve the above requirement, we will be creating the same report in the Electronic reporting. The main table record for the above report is "VendPurchReceivingLog". Let's start the configuration in Electronic reporting. 

This blog is more focused on the screenshot rather than explaining the steps to create the data model, model mapping, format, etc.

1. Create a data model.

2. Map the model to the data source. Here main data sources are Table records  - VendPurchReceivingLog and Inventory dimension details. We have added the Inventory dimension details (Data source types > Functions > Inventory dimension details) to achieve a dynamic selection of Inventory dimensions at runtime.

3. After completing the data model and model mapping. Create an excel template having the required columns. Also define name ranges for header part : InventDimNames for dynamically increase the columns based on inventory dimension names.

4. Import the excel file into format designer. Thereafter, we need to add ranges just above our cell "InventDimNames" and "InventDimValues" with replication as Horizontal. [similar to my last blog: ER - Use Horizontally Expandable Ranges To Dynamically Add Columns In Excel Reports- D365FO]


5. Bind the format to format mappings.

6. Change the status of the format to "Complete" and run the report. 
7. At run time, the user can select the required inventory dimension that is required in the report.


Final output:

We achieved our desired result. There were five inventory dimensions selected, so five columns are shown.



That's it for this blog. See you in the next blog. Please comment if you have any suggestions about the use of Inventory dimension details in any other reports.

Happy Learning!

 What's the Problem: After you've created your ER format, mapped it to data sources, and completed it, you can run it from the  Electronic reporting  workspace. After the report is generated, you can save it locally.  Due to this, we need to give access to the Electronic reporting Workspace to Business Users. To control the following aspects of the reporting process, set up electronic message processing: Log information about who generated the report. Log information about when the report was generated. Save the reports that were generated for previous periods. Solution: Create an electronic message processing in the system to run the required ER reports. In the Electronic messaging functionality, we can create a sequence of steps for users when trying to generate the EM processing. The following example shows how you can set up electronic messaging to generate a report that is based on an exporting ER format for Microsoft Excel. If you want to follow this example, t...

Default descriptions - Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations Part-01

Introduction Transactions generated from different modules often do not generate a description on the transaction in General ledger or in the submodule from where it is generated. For example, when you post purchases invoice from Accounts payable module, system passes voucher entry with description "Vendor invoice". This description is not much meaningful. So to make the description meaningful, we will use " Default Description " functionality in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. Let's start with setup and then test with one vendor payment journal. Configure a default description Select “New”, chose the “Description” you want to configure and select “Language”. [ Navigation: General Ledger > Journal Setup > Default Descriptions] Two different types of variables can be configured: 1.    Fixed variable: date, form and voucher. Date and voucher is already included in a transaction and I normally don’t use these variables. Form on the other ha...
