Report selection for documents in Business Central

You can set up default reports to use to print sales, purchases, and service documents, such as orders, quotes, and invoices. For example, if you have a specific layout for sales invoices, you can specify that report in the Report Selections - Sales page. You can then use the report when you send or print sales invoices.

Available report selections

The Report Selections pages specify the reports to print in different situations. Business Central provides default configurations, but you can change them if needed. You can also add reports to the Report Selection pages if you want to print more than one report per document type, for example.

The following table describes where you can find information about the different pages.
