Epicor Kinetic Business Intelligence FAQ
How do you create custom reports in Epicor Kinetic?
Custom reports in Epicor Kinetic are typically built using Business Activity Queries (BAQs) as the data source, then formatted with SSRS or Epicor's report designer tools. Kinetic's reporting is functional but leans heavily on SSRS, which can feel dated next to modern embedded BI — many manufacturers pair it with Power BI for more polished dashboards.
What is a BAQ in Epicor?
A BAQ (Business Activity Query) is Epicor Kinetic's built-in tool for pulling and joining data from across the ERP database without writing SQL directly. BAQs power custom reports, dashboards, and data exports, letting non-developers build queries against tables like orders, inventory, and jobs using a visual query builder.
How do you create a BAQ in Epicor Kinetic?
You build a BAQ in Epicor Kinetic through the BAQ Designer — selecting the tables you need, defining joins and filters, and choosing output fields through a visual interface rather than raw SQL. Once built, a BAQ can feed a dashboard, an SSRS report, or a data export. Epicor's own documentation walks through the designer step by step.
