Overview

    Inbuilt reporting engine inside an ERP application is good value addition for user and If ERP can allow integration of third party reporting engine as well then it is further value add. ADempiere supports reporting in two ways

   * In built reporting engine( Print formats)
   * Jasper report integration

    Print formats allow reporting to be done in different formats like PDF,XLS and HTML. In case of Jasper Reports integration, reporting can be done only in PDF format. But there is growing need to support other formats like XLS and HTML for Jasper based reports as well in ADempiere. Another important need is user should have a choice to decide report output format( The way it works in Print Format )

As Part of this , we need to generate Jasper report output into different formats based on user choice (i.e. PDF or XLS).
