The Business Central data problem
Business Central contains the data. Turning it into one trusted reporting layer is the hard part.
Business Central has valuable data, but reporting becomes complex when APIs, OData, custom extensions and operational systems must work together.
OData reporting is fragile
Power BI can connect to Business Central, but reports based on OData pages can break when pages, apps or tenant extensions change.
Custom data needs AL work
Standard APIs do not expose every table, field or extension. Custom food logic often needs API pages or AL extensions before it is reusable.
Multi-company views are limited
Business Central supports financial consolidation, but group reporting across stock, production, sales, logistics and sites still needs a governed data layer.
Refreshes hit limits
High-volume reporting through APIs or OData must handle paging, request limits, timeouts and throttling when dashboards query many entities.
