Microsoft provides standard Power BI reports for Business Central, but the download location is not as obvious as it used to be. If you are looking for the PBIX files, don’t search for the old GitHub repository. That location is no longer the right place to look.
The current route is through the official Business Central Power BI template apps.
Where to start
Microsoft documents the available Business Central Power BI apps here:
From that page, you can install the available apps, including Finance, Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, Manufacturing, Projects, Sustainability, and others.
After installing an app in Power BI, you can open the workspace and download the report as a PBIX file, assuming your Power BI permissions and tenant settings allow it.
Here’s how to find the Power BI tenant settings:
A few things to keep in mind
The Business Central Power BI apps currently work per company. If you need reports for multiple companies, you need to install and configure the app for each company.
You also need a Power BI Pro license to install and use the template apps.
