Summary

In this chapter, we learned about what tools to use to develop reports with AL. We saw how to create RDL, Word, and Excel layouts and what tools are supported. We got a better understanding of the creation of report and report extension objects and when to use them. We also explained how to clone an AL report and refactor it to be reused within the standard Business Central application with a practical example.

Finally, we learned that there are some reporting limitations, a few workarounds, and some performance considerations that can help you become a master of AL report development.

In the next chapter, we will learn about the basics of cloud-ready printing and what under-the-hood events to subscribe to if you want to handle your reporting output in a different way than the standard application does.
