SAP Crystal Reports

Overall Satisfaction with SAP Crystal

We use Crystal Reports to pull data from our ERP software and create easy to use manufacturing orders for our production and warehouse teams. These reports are used in several parts of our organization but not the entire company. Using Crystal Reports helps our production and warehouse teams with their day to day tasks of creating batches and filling off containers. It also helps our production control team with inventory tracking through our ERP system.
  • Pulls data from existing ERP to create an easy to use and helpful report for manufacturing orders.
  • Can pull data from a variety of data sources without a lot of code.
  • They make our life easier by providing us with an option for building legible, useful and good-looking reports!
  • Not easy to use for the average user - it requires a developer to create the reports.
  • They can be slow to load sometimes (this may not be indicative of the actual Crystal Reports, but in my experience, they can load pretty slowly).
Crystal Reports are great when you print out a report - you can create really easy to read custom reports for your business. The look and feel of the report can be a big benefit to users and by creating something nice to look at for your users by making it a Crystal Report, you give the user a better experience.
