FRx to Management Reporter Migration

If you are looking to migrate from FRx to Management Reporter, There is an inbuilt migration wizard in Management Reporter to do the same. I don’t need to specify the steps involved in the migration process as it has been covered in much detail elsewhere on the blogosphere. Here is a perfect link to accomplish the same.

FRx 6.7 to Management Reporter Migration

However, Hold on before running the wizard if you are on Management Reporter RTM edition. If you are running Management Reporter RTM edition for Dynamics GP 2010, you’d run into an error that says 'Windows Authentication is not supported for Microsoft Dynamics GP’. I heard this occurs even if you choose SQL Authentication. If you observe the event logs, it might be like this

Currently, This is identified as a bug in MR RTM and there is a workaround suggested to get away with this issue

1.      Uninstall MR RTM

2.      Install MR Beta (Server Components and Migration Wizard - https://mbs.microsoft.com/fileexchange/?fileID=0843903d-3544-49f5-af37-3e80ccd0384b

3.      Perform the migration using the beta

4.      Export reports into .tdbx.

5.      Uninstall MR Beta

6.      Reinstall MR RTM

7.      Create companies in MR and then import in reports from the .tdbx file.

Here we are talking about Dynamics GP in specific, but this is applicable to other products as well. Our job doesn’t end with just installing and deploying the solution out there. In fact, Our job as the most trusted partner would just start from there. We cannot expect the customers to constantly follow up on the latest software updates rolling down for their use because they expect they are in safe hands just like how You’d relax once you hand over your tax documents to your CPA. Microsoft on its part tries to send E-mail updates to the customers but how many of them would pay attention to these updates unless the partner approach them on a rather personalized basis explaining the benefits. I’ll illustrate the above with an example. We know Analytical Accounting has some critical updates pending in earlier versions of GP and these were made available in GP 10 SP4. As a partner, It becomes our obligation to take this update to the customers, whether they take your advice or not is d

Dynamics GP Fixed Assets GL Posting Issue Issue The user ran the depreciation routine in Dynamics GP for November month through Dynamics GP | Financial | Routines | Depreciate All Assets.
