In this chapter, we have learned which tools to use to develop reports with AL. We saw how to create RDL and Word layouts and which tools are supported. We got a better understanding of the creation of reports and how to use them. We have also explained how to use txt2al.exe to convert a C/AL report into an AL report and refactor it to be reused within the standard application with a practical example.
In the end, we learned that there are some reporting limitations, a few workarounds, and some performance considerations that can help you become a master in AL report development.
In the next chapter, we'll learn how to build an automated test for Dynamics 365 Business Central to check for application business process consistency and improve the robustness of our development solutions.
