Course Overview

The Microsoft Dynamics Business Central with Reporting_Technical course by Microsoft is designed for developers and technical consultants aiming to master reporting capabilities within the Dynamics 365 Business Central platform. It aligns with the MB-820: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Developer Associate certification, preparing professionals for roles such as AL Developer, Technical Consultant, and Solution Architect. With enterprise adoption of Business Central growing steadily—driven by digital transformation in mid-sized organizations—one in three job postings for Business Central talent remain unfilled, highlighting strong market demand. This course equips learners with specialized skills in report development, a capability increasingly sought after by Microsoft partners and end-user organizations modernizing their ERP systems.

Participants engage directly with core tools including Visual Studio Code, AL Language, Business Central cloud sandbox environments, Power BI, Excel, and RDLC/Word report layouts. The hands-on labs are conducted within the official Microsoft Learn sandbox environment, where students build fully functional report extensions from scratch. Key exercises include designing data models, creating multilingual reports, implementing processing-only reports, substituting standard reports, and integrating Business Central data with Power BI for advanced analytics. A culminating project involves developing a custom financial report with dynamic filtering, multiple layout options, and deployment through the AppSource publishing workflow, simulating real-world delivery scenarios faced by professional developers.

This training prepares candidates for the globally recognized MB-820 certification, which validates expertise in extending and customizing Business Central solutions. Certified professionals command competitive salaries, with experienced AL Developers earning between $120,000–$130,000 annually in the U.S., and senior architects exceeding $150,000. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Microsoft courseware, and access to expert instructors via 1-on-1 training sessions, ensuring personalized support.
