 In MifosX, apart from using standard reports  which are shipped, you can create your own report based on required input parameters.

MifosX currently supports two types of Custom Reports:

 1) Stretchy Reports

2) Pentaho Reports

Stretchy Reports:

If a new report needs to be created, the developer/Specialist  writes the SQL queries and adds it to the reporting metadata  and adds any parameters required to create a new custom report.
