Time Estimates for SSRS Report Development in D365

1️⃣ Simple Report (1 table, direct fields, no complex logic)

Time: 2–4 hours
Includes:

• Create query (or use existing one)
• Create DP class (optional if using Query-based)
• Create Contract class (if needed)
• Create RDP class (for business logic)
• Create SSRS report & design
• Deploy report
• Add to menu

2️⃣ Medium Complexity Report (multiple tables, joins, grouping, parameters)

Time: 6–12 hours
Includes:

• Multiple data sources
• Business logic inside RDP class
• Custom parameters in Contract class
• Layout with grouping/sorting
• Custom display methods
• Testing + debugging

3️⃣ Complex Report (heavy business logic, temp tables, complex grouping, images, precision design)

Time: 1–3 days
Includes:

• Multiple temp tables / staging
• Bigger processing classes
• Complex UI parameters
• Calculations
• Multiple child/parent groups
• Custom controller class
• Extensive testing and iterations

⭐ Summary

Simple report: 2–4 hours

Medium report: 6–12 hours

Complex report: 1–3 days

This is the industry-standard estimation used by D365 technical teams.

If you want, tell me:

• What fields?
• What data source?
• What layout?

I can estimate the exact time for your specific SSRS report.

time taken to make a d365 project

ChatGPT said:

The time required to make a D365 project depends heavily on what type of project you mean, because “D365 project” can mean many things:

✔ A customization project (tables, forms, logic)
✔ A complete module
✔ Integrations
✔ SSRS reports
✔ Workflows
✔ Extensions only
✔ Full implementation project

Below is a professional breakdown used by D365 consultants and project managers:

🕒 1️⃣ Small D365 Development Project

Time: 1–7 days

Examples:

• Add a few fields in tables/forms
• Create one simple form
• Create one number sequence
• Make basic validation logic
• Create simple lookup methods

🕒 2️⃣ Medium D365 Development Project

Time: 2–4 weeks

Examples:

• 3–5 tables
• 2–3 forms
• Business logic + workflows
• One SSRS report + custom DP/Contract
• Basic posting logic
• Security roles
• Basic integrations (OData / custom services)

Typical in internal enhancement projects.

🕒 3️⃣ Large D365 Development Project

Time: 2–6 months

Examples:

• A full new submodule (like “Cash Management”, “Gate Entry”, “Visit Tracking”)
• Workflows + posting logic
• 10–20 forms
• 10+ tables
• 5+ SSRS reports
• Security + roles + privileges
• Full approvals
• Integrations with external systems (REST, SOAP, file-based)

🕒 4️⃣ Full D365 FO Implementation (Enterprise Project)

Time: 6–18 months

This includes:

• Finance
• SCM
• HR
• Production
• Retail
• Integrations
• Data migration
• Power BI
• Training
• UAT + Go-live

This is what big companies do during full digital transformation.

⭐ Short Answer

A D365 development project can take anywhere from 1 day to 18 months depending on the scope.

If you tell me:

✔ What your project contains (tables, forms, reports, workflows, integrations)

✔ How many forms / reports

✔ The complexity

I will tell you exact estimated time and effort in hours/days.
