Ad Hoc reports

Infor M3 Ad Hoc Reporting is a tool that enables the creation of operational reports and listings direct from the Infor M3 Application database. Ad Hoc reporting further reduces the need to modify or invest in developing replacement for standard Infor M3 operational reports in order to personalize the output from Infor M3. In addition, it also avoids the inappropriate use of the advanced business intelligence or analytics tools to satisfy relatively simple operational needs, and manages access and security using standard Infor M3 user security and privilege levels. With the Ad Hoc Reporting tool, Infor M3 users can manage the design, development, storage, execution, and scheduling of user-defined reports. All output is delivered in the standard XML format to allow choice and flexibility in its end use.

By sending an Ad Hoc XML file to Report Manager, an output can be generated in PDF or Excel format. It is also possible to list and start the execution of Ad Hoc reports from within Report Manager.
