Now consider a scenario, where we have to display sales item detail with respect to its customer. As this report is not much complex and on exploring Dynamics Ax 2012 default tables we found that Sales order detail at Item level can be found on “SalesLine” table. Complexity is less so we decide to create this report with Static Query or AOT query based Report.
