Hi,

I am launching a poll here to see what software IFS customers use to generate operational reporting and with what results? Customer order print, purchase order print...

We are using IFS Cloud and we would like to find options where the software is user-friendly and can cope easily with rendering depending on the data, a system that is fast while coping with projections (no metadata cash error) ...

Thanks for your help and Regards,

Anne-Sophie

@OREamackenzie  are you looking for a tool to build modify existing operational reports?

I would stick with Report Designer, or if you wanna build new operational reports from scratch you could go with Crystal Reports.

From what I’ve witnessed, customers modify existing layouts using Report Designer. There’s a lot of effort that R&D put into building toggic in Report Designer layout and it would be a pity to throw that out and build something on your own.


Hi,

You might want to take into consideration that Crystal Reports (also SSRS) is slated to be deprecated. While that means it will still be usable when deprecated please keep in mind that it may be completely removed in the future.

Please see - 

Kind Regards,

Andreas


Apologies, just to clarify, Crystal reporting and SSRS will still work in 24R2, but it is currently set to be removed entirely in 25R1, meaning it will not work at all to use this as an option. 

 


Hello,

Thank you all for your answers.

 

Kind regards,

Anne-Sophie
