Welcome to FRxBuzz, the tips, tricks and news blog about financial reporting with FRx Software.
I am a CPA and I specialize in FRx, and I write about how to use FRx more effectively. Most of my posts come directly from things that I run across in consulting engagements that I think other users would benefit from.
Oh by the way, these posts are primarily for current FRx users and presume a passing familiarity with the FRx user interface.
These posts involve things like Viewing FRx report in Outlook without email (for your CFO for instance), using FRx with Excel on Graphing with FRx and creating Color Coded Budget Variances, how-to’s such as Creating PDFs, report design for tough reports like Creating Quarter To Date Reports, and the Top 12 FRx Tricks I’ve gleaned over the years. See the folders on the right hand side of this page for more. Or use the search box.
New to FRx? Or At Capacity?
New to FRx though? And need some help? Some companies just get help from their VAR (reseller), but others have industry-specific or unusual requirements, and want to carve out the financial reporting piece for an FRx specialist’s attention.
Consulting
If you want information about consulting engagements, see FRx Consulting. I don’t do Crystal or SQL Server or ERP implementations (although I used to!). FRx is all I do. And I’m always happy to hear about an upcoming FRx project.
These Tips will work with FRx for any General Ledger
Did you know that FRx integrates with about 50 different GLs? The ones I see most often are Dynamics GP, Dynamics SL, Sage (MAS 500, MAS 200 and MAS 90) and Epicor. But I also see FRx used with Dynamics AX, Dynamics NAV, Viewpoint, Platinum, SyteLine, Clarus (aka SQL Financials), Epicor iScala, and even JD Edwards a few years back. There is also an FDM (financial data mart) version which links FRx to a completely custom GL. In every instance, however, FRx user interface remains the same (although Axapta and Navision use a Dimension Wizard before you ever get to the FRx interface). So all these tips, tricks and ideas will apply to every GL. For more information, see the post at FRx Works With Lots of GLs.
Location
I’m in Austin, Texas, about a 3 hour flight to the east coast and 3.5 hours to the west coast.
Experience
Have been consulting with FRx since 1995. Time flies!
Cheers! Jan
