How to create a Payables Historical Aged Trial Balance Summary SSRS report

SQL Server Reporting Services is an amazing reporting tool. However, I recently noticed that most of the reports print in detail.  Users want the same functionality from SSRS that is available to them in Dynamics GP, such as Detail and Summary versions of reports.  In this step-by-step guide, I will walk you through creating a Summary version of the Payables Historical Aged Trial Balance.

  1. Go to your SQL Server Reporting Services reports page
  2. Click on the Company Folder
  3. Then Click on the Purchasing Folder
  4. Click on the Historical Aged Trial Balance and select Edit in Report Historical Aged Trial Balance and select Edit in Report Builder
  5. Report Builder will launch. Click the Pie Icon in the left hand corner and click Save AsReport Builder will launch in order to save it
  6. Rename the Report to Historical Aged Trial Balance-Summary and click SaveRename report to historical aged trial balance-summary
  7. Remove the Row Groupings for Tbl_Main_Details_Group, to do so: Right click on the Group and click Delete Group. Choose Delete group and related rows and columns.

    Remove the Row Groupings for Tbl_Main_Details_GroupTbl_Main_Details_Group

  8. Click Ok
  9. Remove the Row Groupings for Grp_Control_Number in the same fashion as above
  10. Remove the unwanted column headings from the report such as the following:Remove the unwanted column headings
  11. To do so, click on the cell until the box is highlighted in grey and hit your delete button on your keyboard

  12. Complete this for the remaining column headings
