In this blog post, we’ll explore how this feature empowers users to streamline their data analysis workflows and generate insightful reports directly from their Acumatica data.

Before diving into the Export as Report action, let’s take a moment to understand what Generic Inquiries are and how they fit into the Acumatica ecosystem. Generic Inquiries are flexible query tools that allow users to retrieve and analyze data from various modules within Acumatica. With GIs, users can create custom data views, apply filters and conditions, and display results in grids or charts. While GIs enable users to export data to Excel files, there are instances where clients require data in specific formats, such as PDFs. This is where the Export as Report action comes into play.
