Engineering custom SSRS forms, building interactive Power BI models, and configuring Epicor Data Analytics (EDA) for executive overview.
Decentralized spreadsheets and paper reports prevent management from viewing real-time financial margins. I build integrated reporting systems that pull values dynamically from core ERP tables, exposing trends across shipping status, part sales, scrap ratios, and supplier delivery delays.
This ensures that your leadership team makes decisions based on real-time numbers, not estimated projections.
With offshore consulting operations in India, I help manufacturing entities in the UK, Europe, and India achieve clean SSRS templates and real-time business summaries.
Adapting layouts for Invoices, Purchase Orders, Packing Slips, and Job Traveler documents.
Deploying secure REST OData connection feeds to query database rows without direct SQL connections.
Configuring custom analytics cubes to monitor year-over-year margins and production statistics.
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) handles standard customer documents in Epicor. When an operator triggers a print action, the system executes a **Report Data Definition (RDD)**, which pulls records from multiple tables into a temporary reporting database schema.
To build clean, upgrade-compatible layouts, I modify reports without altering standard RDD structures. By copying standard definitions to custom suffixes (e.g. ARForm_Custom) and editing the .rdl files inside SQL Server Report Builder, I add fields, adapt calculations, and integrate industry-standard barcode fonts (like Code 128 or DataMatrix).
For bulk document dispatching, I configure **Advanced Print Routing (APR)** parameters. This allows the system to automatically break a batch print (such as 500 invoices) by Customer ID, generate separate PDFs, and email each file to the customer's accounts payable inbox.
Connecting Power BI to Epicor Cloud requires OData feeds rather than direct SQL links. We configure a secure BAQ in Epicor, filter the necessary columns, and expose it via the REST API Svc.
Inside Power BI, the OData connection uses standard credentials mapping, fetching data directly from the BAQ REST URL. This keeps the database secure, bypasses local firewalls, and allows executive dashboards to refresh automatically on a scheduled timer.
Standard templates rarely cover the customized billing, shipping, and parts labeling requirements of enterprise clients. As an experienced Epicor ERP Consultant, I configure SSRS forms and design secure Power BI layouts that reflect the exact needs of your accounting and warehouse operations.
Furthermore, I optimize the underlying SQL Server queries, cleaning up nested loops and adding database indices to make sure reports generate in seconds, preventing system lockups during peak hours.
I regularly build custom SSRS reports and coordinate data feeds for clients across the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, and India, bringing robust operational metrics to planning screens.
