How To Simplify FRx Departmental Reporting

September 13, 2010 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA 11 Comments

This is the third in a series of posts on simplifying FRx. Once upon a time many years ago, I was helping a large publicly held client with some FRx reports. One of their reports had an incredibly long row format (thousands of rows), and it took FOREVER to run. Upon closer … [Read more...]

How To Simplify FRx Catalogs

September 3, 2010 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA Leave a Comment

This is the second in a series of posts on simplifying FRx. In almost every existing FRx implementation, I run across opportunities to simplify, meaning reduce, the number of catalogs (aka reports). That often translates to fewer rows, columns, and trees. I really love doing … [Read more...]

Simplify FRx Totals and Calculations

August 23, 2010 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA 58 Comments

This is the first of a series of posts on how to simplify FRx. It's so easy to make FRx harder than it should be. And it's not only harder to set up but way tougher to maintain. In this post I'll give some real world examples of simplifying FRx totals and calculations. I'm … [Read more...]

Get More Information From FRx Using Transaction Detail Drilldown

June 28, 2010 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA 32 Comments

Something fishy with an account balance? It's nice to be able to drilldown in FRx instead of going to the GL. Saves a few steps. I'm not going to show you what the finished product looks like because I'm in a demo database and the transactions look pretty tacky. But suffice to … [Read more...]

The Perils of Page Breaks in FRx

June 21, 2010 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA 1 Comment

Adding a page break in FRx is laughably easy—sort of. For the most part, you should use the Format Code PI in the row format instead of the PB code. Why? Well, PB doesn't actually stand for Page Break. It means "give me a new page for a balance sheet, and skip all those messy … [Read more...]

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."
—Red Adair

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.
