Creating reports using JasperReports
From iDempiere en
iDempiere comes preconfigured with iDempiere's own reporting format. This format can be very useful since it by default includes features such as
- Zoom across (ie zoom to a Business Partner from the report)
- Export to a number of formats (PDF, Excel etc)
- Columns are configured from the Application Directory
- Etc
However, in some cases you might want to have bigger freedom to create any kind of report, this is especially true for documents that are external, such as customer invoices etc. To cater for the need of highly customizable reports, iDempiere can seamlessly integrate with reports made in the JasperReport format.
This page will contain more info but some important notes that are specific to iDempiere/JasperReports are the following:
- Making fonts available to your JasperReports
- Making resources such as images and language files available to your JasperReports
