Jet Reports: Fast, Flexible Reporting Directly in Microsoft Excel
For businesses running on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or Dynamics NAV, access to data is never the problem—it’s the ability to quickly extract, organize, and analyze that data on demand. Relying on complex, rigid reports or waiting days for IT to pull data slows down crucial decision-making.
This is the gap filled by Jet Reports.
Jet Reports is the industry-leading reporting and business intelligence solution designed specifically for Microsoft Dynamics users. It seamlessly integrates your ERP data directly into Microsoft Excel, empowering users to create customized, live financial and operational reports without needing specialized IT knowledge or complex coding.
At MSC Consulting (S) Pte Ltd, we implement Jet Reports to help our clients escape the limitations of standardized ERP reporting, giving them the agility to drill down into the details and build the exact report they need, whenever they need it.
What is Jet Reports? The Dynamics Reporting Revolution
Jet Reports is an Excel add-in that creates a direct, secure connection between the familiar interface of Microsoft Excel and the rich data residing within your Microsoft Dynamics ERP system.
It transforms Excel from a simple spreadsheet application into a powerful, real-time reporting tool. Instead of manually exporting data and risking human error during consolidation, Jet Reports allows you to build report templates once, and then refresh them instantly with live data at any time.
The Problem Jet Reports Solves
Standard ERP reporting tools often force users into rigid, pre-defined templates. If a manager needs a custom report that combines customer profitability data with current inventory aging—a request that spans multiple data tables—the process is usually manual, tedious, and time-consuming.
Jet Reports eliminates this friction. It democratizes the reporting process, giving the power to the users who understand the data best: the finance managers, sales directors, and operations leads.
Key Components of the Jet Platform
Jet Reports (Reporting)
The core Excel add-in used for designing and running reports. It features a powerful, intuitive function builder that guides users to pull data accurately from Business Central.
Jet Analytics (Business Intelligence)
This component automates the creation and maintenance of a data warehouse and sophisticated OLAP cubes. This is essential for organizations that need high-speed, consolidated reporting across multiple databases or non-Dynamics systems.
Our Highlights
The Core Benefit: Democratized, Real-Time Reporting
The primary reason thousands of companies use Jet Reports is to achieve Reporting Independence. It takes the process of report creation out of the hands of the IT department and places it directly into the hands of the finance and business teams.
Unmatched Speed and Efficiency
You can create a new financial report in minutes, not days.
- Rapid Report Creation: Use the intuitive drag-and-drop Report Wizard or the function builder to link data fields, reducing report design time by over 90%.
- Instant Refresh: Reports are powered by live data. Click "Refresh," and within seconds, your P&L, inventory valuation, or sales forecast is updated with the latest information from Business Central.
- Drill-Down Capability: See a number on a report you want to investigate? Double-click the cell, and Jet Reports will instantly drill down to the underlying transactional data in Business Central.
Built on the Universal Language of Business: Excel
Excel is the lingua franca of finance and business analysis. Jet Reports leverages this familiarity:
- Zero Learning Curve: Since the interface is Excel, there’s virtually no training needed for users to start consuming and understanding reports.
- Utilize Existing Excel Skills: All native Excel functions—formulas, charts, pivot tables, formatting, and conditional logic—are fully usable within a Jet Report template. You can transform raw ERP data into beautifully formatted, presentation-ready dashboards.
- Custom Layouts: Easily create reports that match your company’s specific branding or statutory reporting requirements without being constrained by the ERP’s built-in layouts.
Accurate and Auditable Data
Jet Reports ensures that the data you see in Excel is precisely the data stored in your Microsoft Dynamics ERP.
- Single Source of Truth: Reports pull directly from your ERP, eliminating errors from manual exports, copy-pasting, and reconciliation.
- Compliance Ready: Provides a clear audit trail from the report cell back to the original Business Central ledger entry.
- Custom Layouts: Easily create reports that match your company’s specific branding or statutory reporting requirements without being constrained by the ERP’s built-in layouts.
Why are Organizations Choosing Jet Reports?
Companies running on Microsoft Dynamics (especially Business Central and NAV) overwhelmingly choose Jet Reports for strategic reasons that improve business agility:
Seamless and Secure Dynamics Integration
Jet Reports is built from the ground up to understand the complex data structure of Microsoft Dynamics ERPs. It knows where the key tables, fields, and relationships reside, allowing users to pull information safely and accurately. It adheres to all the security and user permissions set up in your ERP.
Financial and Operational Consolidation
For growing businesses that operate multiple legal entities, Business Central companies, or even different ERP systems, Jet Reports is indispensable for consolidation.
- Multi-Company Reporting: Effortlessly combine data from multiple Business Central companies into one consolidated report for a unified organizational view.
- Currency Translation: Easily handle currency translations and eliminations right in the reporting layer.
It Solves the Custom Report Crisis
Before Jet Reports, every request for a unique financial statement format, a customized sales trend analysis, or a specific inventory health report meant engaging the IT team. This created a backlog and delayed insights. Jet Reports resolves the crisis by putting the development tools in the hands of the business users.
Reduces Reliance on IT and Consultants
By empowering internal teams to manage and create their own reports, businesses significantly reduce their reliance on external consultants for routine report modifications. This saves money and ensures that reports can be adjusted immediately to meet internal stakeholder needs or regulatory changes.
