FRx SP10 came out in late March 2008. It brings the option to use red for negative numbers at all detail levels. How to do that? In the catalog, go to the Report Options tab, then the Formatting tab, and it's the last checkbox in the list. Enjoy! … [Read more...]

More on FRx and XBRL

May 2, 2008 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA 1 Comment

FRx and XBRL—probably not going to work too well. Check out Mark Polino's recent DynamicAccounting post on XBRL, FRx & PerformancePoint: "...it's increasingly likely that XBRL (the xml based financial statement/reporting language) is going to be mandated by the SEC..." I … [Read more...]

Using the FRx View Subtotals Feature to Tie Out

May 2, 2008 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA Leave a Comment

I'm such a fan of FRx's View Subtotals feature that I wanted to highlight it here. Even though I've already posted on it in How to Get Two FRx Reports in One. That post is a 'how to' but in this post I'll tell you how I used it the other day to tie out very quickly. … [Read more...]

Using FRx with Dynamics GP Analytical Accounting

March 11, 2008 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA 6 Comments

Lately I’ve had more and more inquiries on using FRx with Dynamics GP Analytical Accounting. Seems it’s being used more and more since its introduction a few years ago. While most of my posts apply to all of FRx’s ERPs, today’s post will apply only to GP, although the basic … [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.
