SSRS reports in F&O: the RDP + Contract + Controller pattern
The article discusses the SSRS reporting pattern in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, focusing on the RDP, Contract, and Controller classes. It explains the necessity of each class in creating bespoke transactional documents and highlights the importance of serialization for batch processing. A worked example of a customer statement report illustrates the implementation of these classes and their roles in the reporting process.
- ▪Dynamics 365 F&O utilizes SSRS for bespoke transactional documents like invoices and customer statements.
- ▪The reporting pattern consists of four classes: RDP, Contract, Controller, and an optional UIBuilder.
- ▪Skipping any of the classes can reduce flexibility and functionality in report generation.
