Curious About Replacing FRx?

February 23, 2011 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA 3 Comments

Hey this is just a quick heads up that I’ve been researching FRx Replacement options, and I’m compiling lots of information into a whitepaper called 7 Options for Replacing FRx.

I’ve written this for FRx users of Dynamics (GP, SL, AX, NAV), Epicor, and Sage. There are at least 2-3 replacement options for each of these GLs, sometimes more depending on the GL. (I’m talking to you, GP!)

Anyway, I’ve covered information like this:

  • How to review your FRx implementation to determine requirements
  • How to research a prospective replacement
  • Where to go to do financial and legal due diligence
  • Who has budgeting capability built in
  • Who reports on modules beyond the GL
  • Currency, consolidations, security comments
  • Availability of an FRx conversion tool
  • Who reports on GP’s Analytical Accounting
  • Tons more

This will be a fantastic headstart on researching your options.

This will be a 40 to 50 page downloadable PDF; I haven’t determined pricing yet.

If you’d like to be notified via email, there’s a signup list in the bottom right hand corner called ‘Curious About Replacing FRx?’.

Stay tuned…more to come! Cheers—Jan

    Jan,
    I can think of two or three options for Dynamics ERP users, but I think MR will meet most Dynamics ERP users’ needs. Looking forward to seeing your future blogs on this…

    Hi Jan
    I believe you know this, but for existing Dynamics (SL, GP, NAV, AX) users of FRx, Microsoft is committed to a supported roadmap that allows them to move from FRx to an alternative that will not add additional license and maintenance costs to their implementation.

    What about our situation?
    We are using FRX to report against Epicor database v7.3 and are upgrading to Epicor v7.4. I understand FRX no longer available.

About

Hey! I'm a CPA and I specialize in Management Reporter and FRx. [Sometimes with a side of snark.] I've been doing this for 22 years (yikes). But when I'm not working I can be found reveling in live music & pizza trailers at home in Austin Texas! —Jan Lenoir Harrigan More

Learn Management Reporter

Why fight with Microsoft's manual? Life is too short as it is.

My first manual—4 foundation reports:
covers-i-2d
My second manual—12 more reports:
covers-ii-2d
My third (and hopefully last) manual—cashflow:
covers-iii-2d

All Hat, No Cattle?

Watch out—a few unscrupulous consultants are lifting copyrighted original content from several sites, this one included, and passing it off as their own. I'm hacked off and I don't mind naming names. Bottom line—be very careful about whom you hire!

"If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur."

Who I Work With

I work with zillions of companies who run Dynamics GP, AX and SL.

And lots of other consultants.

So I work with accountants who need accurate financials to help close the books. Not to mention present to the Board.

I don't sell or install MR. [How smart am I?]

FRx is Toast

FRx is toast—and I hope you're getting rid of it soon—but just in case someone still needs to learn it:

  • FRx in 8 Hours—Introduction 
  • FRx in 8 Hours—Intermediate

BTW, if you're on Dynamics, you can migrate to MR, but you should know there are other options. Choose what's best for you.

New to MR?

Here are 3 essentials to know before you start.

Background—back in the day, FRx was a famous midmarket report writer from a small agile company in Colorado. Then it got acquired. [Sigh]

Now it's owned by Microsoft. They rewrote it and rebranded it Management Reporter.

The two are very much alike and much of the FRx content here also applies to MR.
