First of all, Microsoft has developed a course to help you with developing Dynamics GP reports in SQL Server Reporting Services.
Your report design environment is actually Microsoft Visual Studio, which is delivered as part of SQL Server as the Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS). For first time visitors to Visual Studio, this can be somewhat intimidating. But once you get a little comfortable with the navigation, you find your progress increasing rapidly.
Microsoft, in their deployment of SSRS for GP, has provided a number of aids to help you get started. There is a Report Wizard that is available from the BIDS environment to develop a basic tabular or matrix report. Report Builder is a client based tool that allows you to create reports based on Report Models.

So these various tools will allow you to get started. And no matter how you develop your SSRS report, the result is an RDL files (XML based) that can be then modified further within the full Visual Studio / BIDS report designer. And once you have some familiarity with the SSRS development environment you will be making changes to existing reports and creating new ones in time.
