January 22, 2008 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA Leave a Comment

Bolded fonts don't seem to be bolded in FRx report? Ever have this happen? You create bold fonts, apply them in the row, then when you run the report in the drilldown viewer, your fonts don't look bolded at all. You can't see them until they're printed. That will happen with … [Read more...]

How To Use Full Account Segments in the FRx Row

October 10, 2007 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA 4 Comments

Putting the full account number in the row overrides the tree. Are you toast? No. Most of the time, FRx is used with the main GL account segment specified in the row, and the remaining parts of the account structure are specified in the optional reporting tree. Often, however, … [Read more...]

Creating FRx Reports with Drilldown Capability

August 5, 2007 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA Leave a Comment

Drilldown capability is one of FRx's basic, and most important features. Yet I've seen more than one report recently where the design of the row prohibited drilldown to account and subaccount detail, so this design flaw is more common than I thought. So here are a couple of … [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.
