Well OK—Convergence was back in April and now it’s June! Sorry—no excuses! So without further delay, here are some of the main discussion points around FRx and Management Reporter.
BTW, some discussion was official, some not so official. {smile}
Migration from FRx to Management Reporter
- Download and print the migration documentation. There’s a lot of (nitpicky) preparation to do BEFORE migrating, and this document spells it all out. Don’t skip this part.
- The migration document is KB 2425087.
- Tip: Migration clears the MR database, so if you’ve been playing around and have existing reports you want to keep, you should export them first.
- One last note, there were plenty of migration fixes in FP1 and SP1. Don’t go there without them. [click to continue…]
Here’s what’s happening with Management Reporter for GP.
In December 2010, Feature Pack 1 for Management Reporter was released for Microsoft Dynamics GP. Here’s what Feature Pack 1 does for you:
- Currency Translation – New functionality added to expand existing currency translation capabilities. This update works with new features offered in the install of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Service Pack 1.
- Formatting – Issues with currency symbol, conditional printing and cell shading have been resolved.
Forecaster Integration—well, it’s not exactly here yet. But yesterday a Forecaster Data Transfer Tool was released. This tool transfers budget data in Forecaster to the budget tables in Dynamics GP (as well as SL and AX). Once the data has been transferred, Management Reporter can pull it.
Anybody using currency translation in GP 2010 with MR yet? Please comment!
