The solution provided, which involves creating an output menu item, adding it to a form button, and linking a report to the output menu item, is a valid approach to add a button that allows users to run a report in Dynamics 365 Finance. Therefore, the answer is A. Yes.

Here is a more detailed explanation of the steps involved in the solution:

  1. Create an output menu item: An output menu item represents a report or a document that can be generated by Dynamics 365 Finance. To create an output menu item, you need to go to the AOT (Application Object Tree) in the Visual Studio development environment and create a new output menu item object.

  2. Add the output menu item to the form button: Once you have created the output menu item, you can add it to a form button by modifying the properties of the button control in the form designer. You need to set the MenuItemType property of the button control to Output, and then set the MenuItemName property to the name of the output menu item that you created in step 1.

  3. Link the report to the output menu item: After you have added the output menu item to the form button, you need to link a report to the output menu item. To do this, you need to specify the name of the report in the ReportName property of the output menu item object that you created in step 1.

By following these steps, you can create a button that allows users to run a report in Dynamics 365 Finance. When the user clicks on the button, the report specified in the output menu item will be generated and displayed to the user.
