Working Dynamic Dates for Financial Reporting in Business Central

UG Expert Amanda Mayer dives into new reporting-related changes in Business Central, including the functionality to edit column definitions and default dates.

Key Takeaways

  • Column layouts and net changes: Many accountants have been looking forward to updates to what happens when there are 12-month net changes. Amanda walks through how columns and headers have been updated, editing the column definition and highlighting the new field for column layouts.
  • Applying the update: Amanda demonstrates a few examples of using this new update with different factors in consideration. She includes an internal description for the column as she sets the column definition.
  • Default dates: In the “view financial report” area, any changes that you make to report definition are temporary. She shows how to set this so it’s always a part of the consideration. Now, there are dynamic start date and end date filters.
  • Applying the update: Again, Amanda demonstrates examples of the update, using a formula to set accounting periods in reports. These new functionalities will provide more flexibility in financial reporting.
