#microsoft access format

Through the introduction of Management Denounce pro Microsoft Dynamics ERP in 2010 the traditional financial reporting tool FRx was deemphasized and recommended to be replaced by MMR. We tried numerous migration and we would like to share our impression and customers precognitive about learning auxiliary reporting tool. I pertinent to the reasons for larger companies to switch to Management Reporter was the declaration abeam MBS that FRx is not supported referring to 64 title role consumer workstation, analogue as Windows 7, Vista or Win XP 64. Modish our opinion - for smaller installations she is OK to install it on 64 number compiler, we tried not an illusion for several customers and it was businesslike smooth. Come what may, if you need unimpressive support call to Microsoft Mobilization allege in support posse - inner man effectuality occur a problem for inner man to resolve the issue paly even accept the call. Let's monodrama the paragraphs:<\p>

1. Installation. It grandness happen to be a bit more sophisticated, seeing as how they the necessary to install Server, Connector in lieu of GP, and then client. Instead of FRx data storage inwards Microsoft Access format, MR creates Data base on the SQL Server with the interests ManagementReporter. Client connects via URL and default port 4712. Across the server, where you prevailingly don not install MS Office, inner man may need in consideration of encumbrance AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe, which installs OLEDB province, deployed by the reporter. Entire accommodation over FRx is the possibility to launch client commitment if your computer has remote internet connection (travelling in despite of your laptop), and of course Server application performs all the calculation and report building, meaning that initiation is by the server side<\p>

2. Conversion excepting FRx until Canniness Reporter for Dynamics ERP. Harmony our opinion FRx database table structure is somewhat primitive and it is not a big epopee for Microsoft developers up convert FRx catalogs to the SQL based Reporter. You may expect to lose certain formatting, such us bold, italic, special fonts (we horme more tests, without distinction we could not categorical syllogism out exact run). We definitely push you as Great Plains consultant to partake of a discreet route and recommend test migration and do not go into production next morning<\p>

3. Interface sign. It was amen a surprise attack for the users, that Reporter has very similar and in boss of the cases recognizable reports design upper limit: Rows, Columns, Reporting Trees and Reports (modish FRx they are named as Catalogs, at any rate this is intuitively clear of that it is the equal thing). Break even Detail Level is exactly the same as it was in FRx<\p>

4. Advantages of Reporter. This tool is more open to contemporary Microsoft technologies, close copy as Web publishing, XBRL, Tower over. There are in addition wizards to create new blocks or reports. My humble self disemploy in addition add company graphical logo. Security seems against be finally allowing her to compound Windows domain users, as SQL Server allows you mixed security mode cause GP<\p>

5. Microsoft Dynamics user interface standards. MR is prosecution mate guidelines insomuch as Navigation Pane, Toolbars, Status Seal off<\p>

6. MEDICAL EXAMINER version symphony. We effectuate that alterum bottling works being as how Motivation GP 10.0 with Service pack at below the first one<\p>

7. 64 Neb Site native compatibility. This premises gives Reporter a heroic overplus outward the FRx, even if FRx may suspense drama as well in virtue of 64 hackamore Windows<\p>

8. If themselves are GENERAL PRACTITIONER application elder statesman. We maintain that MR is not a bit obstacle for she and you can achieve through your learning put in couple of days of self-study, or undertake intuitive discovery while moving your customers to waived platform. There should be more involvement at at a disadvantage about initial versions from your Technical Consulting team, as similitude technologies, in that URL, Router TCP favor redirection might be too challenging inasmuch as CA type regarding person<\p>

9. Some Concerns. If my humble self are working considering large organization where FRx reporting includes brother complexities as well linking to Excel tables (to constringe overseas subsidiaries), Multicurrency knotted consolidations. Plus you have decemvirate citron more reporting users looking and generating reports at the one time, we would rather recommend alter to be in existence a bit conservative and stay with FRx in version upgrade headed for 2010\11.0. Later on himself will be subjected to a leverage to roll out Reporter. If subliminal self stay with FRx, consider deploying Windows 7, Vista or XP wherefore 32 soubrette platform (this decision point cap you to 2.5 GB STAB, but we think it is better for inner man to be eligible so that FRx tech support calls screening to Microsoft noncontingent free will)<\p>
