Acumatica Generic Inquiries for Reporting and Analytics

How Acumatica Generic Inquiries Can Work for You

The Acumatica Reporting, Dashboards, and Data Analysis Toolkit includes generic inquiries which offer a way to extract specific data you need for analysis. But they are not just for reports – they can be used in dashboards, made available to BI tools, and offer drill down capabilities for even more detailed analysis. The Generic Inquiry writer is a reporting tool that can access any data in Acumatica—including data stored in customized fields—and publish it, export to Excel, or format it for OData. The OData formatting option exposes the data in the Open Data Format supported by business intelligence tools like Microsoft Power BI.

Generic Inquiries require no prior coding knowledge, just select the data you need using wizards that walk you through the process. Generic Inquiries can be reused and modified for a variety of purposes.
