I know a more advanced reporting/accountancy feature is planned for Dolibarr. But I would like to request the feature to export custom reports.
What I would like to see is the ability to enter/select fields where you could enter a query (multiple) & date, and it would create a PDF export from the database.
Examples of an export would show the amount of products sold (sales order) on a certain date, or products that have arrived or have been shipped out. Or a list of invoices that have been created.. the possibilites would be endless..
Anyway, exporting to PDF documents with a query would be a simple but valueable feature in dolibarr!
Have you considered using an external reporting program? As an ERP software consultant I am used to built-in reporting software being quite limited in most of the cases. In my daily work I use Crystal Reports, Qlikview and Tableau for reporting outside all kinds of ERP systems, sometimes also using datawarehousing (on a smaller scale, I leave big projects to BI professionals).
Having said this, I believe it's possible to use a minimalistic version of both Qlikview and Tableau free of charge. Isn't that an idea?
