SQL Server Reporting Services

Microsoft provides prebuilt SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports as part of Dynamics GP 2013. Deploying SSRS reports is included as an option during installation, but they can also be installed later. SSRS provides an easy path to send information to Microsoft Excel 2013.

To demonstrate this, start in Dynamics GP 2013:

  1. Select Financial from the Navigation Pane on the left.
  2. In the List Pane above, click on Reporting Services Reports.
  3. In the center pane, scroll down and find Trial Balance Summary.
  4. Double-click on Trial Balance Summary to open the report.
