I know a more advanced reporting/accountancy feature is planned for Dolibarr. But I would like to request the feature to export custom reports.
What I would like to see is the ability to enter/select fields where you could enter a query (multiple) & date, and it would create a PDF export from the database.
Examples of an export would show the amount of products sold (sales order) on a certain date, or products that have arrived or have been shipped out. Or a list of invoices that have been created… the possibilites would be endless…
Anyway, exporting to PDF documents with a query would be a simple but valueable feature in dolibarr!
Have you considered using an external reporting program? As an ERP software consultant I am used to built-in reporting software being quite limited in most of the cases. In my daily work I use Crystal Reports, Qlikview and Tableau for reporting outside all kinds of ERP systems, sometimes also using datawarehousing (on a smaller scale, I leave big projects to BI professionals).
Having said this, I believe it’s possible to use a minimalistic version of both Qlikview and Tableau free of charge. Isn’t that an idea?
hello,
you are perfectly right.
so i propose you list and detaille all the reports you think are missing and open a feature request on github and hope someon will do it free or contact any preferred partner to get a quote (i’m not joking, that’s the way dolibarr evolves)
Thanks for the feedback. Just saw this. Been looking at Dolibarr and perhaps, with the wonderful effort and work put, should one still use te platform when reporting is not handy?
