Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Click General ledger > Reports > Transactions > Financial statement (traditional). In the Output type field, select Export to. Select a primary dimension set. On the Export to tab, in the File format field, select a file format that lets you adjust data that is exported to the file, such as ASCII. If no file formats are available, you must click Setup to set up the file formats. For more information, see Set up file formats for the export of a traditional financial statement. Click the folder icon next to the File name field. Enter the name of the export file and select the folder it is saved in. Click Save. In the Financial statement (traditional) form, click OK. The Parameters form for the export of a financial statement is displayed.
Use this form to make selections in the fields to format the data of the financial statement in the export file. Default values are provided. Therefore, you only have to make selections in this form if you have to change those default values.
The formatting that you select for the export of a particular financial statement (a statement with a specific combination of financial statement name, export format, primary dimension set, primary dimension set row definition, secondary dimension set, and secondary dimension set row definition) is saved for the next export of a financial statement with the same combination of parameters. If you select a combination of parameters that has been used before, the appropriate formatting, if any, is applied automatically. You can revise the formatting before the export, as is appropriate.
