SSRS:How to create SSRS Reports using AOT Query & Auto design in Ax 2012

OverView:

There are multiple ways to develop SSRS reports in Dynamics AX. This tutorial will guide you through the process of developing SSRS reports using an AOT query and auto design.

Pre-requisites

1. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
2. Visual studio 2012
3. SQL Server report server must be configured
4. Reporting services extensions must be installed in Dynamics AX

Steps

1. First of all we need an AOT query which will fetch data from AX and display it in a report. For this tutorial, I am using an existing query in AX which displays a list of customers.
2. CustTableListPage query will be used in this tutorial. To find this query, open AOT àQueriesàCustTableListPage.
3. The development of the SSRS report is done in Visual studio. So a new project needs to be created in Visual studio.
4. Open Visual studio. Go to File à New à Project.
5. In the section Installed templates select Microsoft Dynamics AX and then select Report Model in the right pane. Name the project “QueryBasedDemo“. Press OK.
