Drill to Dynamics
The Drill to Dynamics feature is in the Web Viewer and Desktop Viewer. It lets you obtain additional information about an account from the Microsoft Dynamics ERP system, such as viewing the source and originating transactions for general ledger data to provide more details for data analysis.
For example, suppose that Phyllis generates a Quarter 1 Income Statement. She opens the report in Desktop Viewer and drills down to the account level on Sales. She wants to view additional information about the account, such as where the transactions originated. Phyllis knows that she can drill down to the transaction level in Management Reporter, but she wants to see more information than what is provided. On the account level, she can right-click and select Drill to Dynamics. Depending on the Microsoft Dynamics ERP system she is using, an ERP system window opens, and from there she can view additional information related to the account.
