Great Plains FRx Reseller Newsflash: installation Gary Jennings Jr. Seahawks Jersey , and typical support cases Computers Articles | December 17, 2008
Dynamics GP Financial Reporting is typically realized in FRx. ?FRx reporting has direct connector to Great Plains General Ledger, where it uses Accounts Summary table (this is why when you do GL direct SQL transaction feed, you have to reconcile accounts, by doing this ? you recalculate Accounts summary table records), potentially it can even drill allow you unposted transactions inclusion (assuming that you posted Sales, Purchasing Cody Barton Seahawks Jersey , Payroll transactions to General Ledger, where they are waiting for review and approval to be posted). ?


In this small publication we would like to review the most common mistakes and pitfalls with FRx installation in client-server environment:


?


1.?????? Compatibility with Great Plains Dynamics GP 10.0.? FRx should be of the version 6.7 and you must apply Service Pack 9.? You can download FRx service pack from Dynamics GP Partner Source, if you are Great Plains VAR or Consultant.? Just to be sure, that you will not be able to launch FRx user, if you just have FRx 6.7 CD ? Service Pack 9 or newer is required.? If you are installing not the first FRx workstation, please apply the same FRx Service pack as you have on other FRx workstations in production environment


?


2.?????? ODBC name misspelled.? Yes, surprisingly enough this is one of the most popular mistakes D.K. Metcalf Seahawks Jersey , especially often done by internal IT people to whom Great Plains Resellers are trying to entrust FRx installation job. ?Before calling to Microsoft Business Solutions technical support (if you are not on unlimited cases per year in your Deluxe support plan), please open FRx, cancel logging to the company and follow this route: company, information, click on the intended company, switch to system specific information and write down Data Source Name.? Then, open control panel Marquise Blair Seahawks Jersey , administrative tools, ODBC, System DSN and compare the name in FRx with the ODBC System DSN name (including spaces).? If you now see the difference, please do not change the Data Source Name in FRX (if you do this ? all the other, old FRx users will lose the connection to the company from their FRx workstations), instead create new system DSN on the new FRx workstation


?


3.?????? Other support cases are about changing Natural segment to be different from Dynamics GP first account segment, detail level L.J. Collier Seahawks Jersey , rebuilding FRx specification set (with catalog, row format, column layout, reporting tree), consolidation, where you eliminate intercompany transactions in P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement

It would be nice to be one of those Internet gurus. To know everything about doing business online. To be able to slap down page after page of HTML without breaking a sweat. Create a new web site in fifteen minutes any time you want. Get three ezine articles Michael Dickson Seahawks Jersey , four pay-per-click campaigns and six joint ventures set up before lunch. Ah, yes.

But there are two major problems with waiting until you've acquired that level of skill before actually going into business.

First, you'll never get there. Nobody knows everything. If you wait until you do, you'll be waiting for hell to freeze over as that flock of pigs goes flying by. Which is to say, you'll never do it.

Second, trying to learn everything first is a 'Catch 22.' You have to get in there and do it to learn it, so if you wait until you learn it Shaquem Griffin Seahawks Jersey , you'll never do it. Real sandcastles can never be built in the mind. But they can really be built.

Okay, then. Am I saying you can just roll up your sleeves and open a business online when all you know about computers is how to turn one on? Well, not exactly. Then again -- almost.

Sure, you should get as comfortable as possible with the computer in general, and with the Internet in particular. But it is possible to get started with not a whole lot more than the surf-and-send-an-email basics.

So let's take a look at what might be holding you back. Could it be that you don't have enough money to hire someone to create a website for you, and the idea of doing it all by yourself is just too intimidating?

Well, did you know that there is something called WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) software that will actually allow you to build a site with nothing more than the ability to type up some text in Word (or whatever wordprocessor you're familiar with) Chris Carson Seahawks Jersey , then copy and paste it onto a pre-decorated web page called a template? That's it. Really.

And getting it up on the web may sound intimidating when you're told you need to know FTP. But that's nothing more than the old 'drag and drop' that you've been using on your computer desktop to put your files (letters, pictures of your kids -- or your grandkids) into folders.

And if even that doesn't convince you, you can get your feet wet in the online business wading pool without any website at all. There are drawbacks (for example, you can't begin to build a mailing list if you have no website where potential customers can sign in). Even so, it will at least get you going. And, obviously, you can't get where you want to go if you don't start Russell Wilson Seahawks Jersey , right?

But, you say, I hear that to do business on the Internet, I have to know about marketing. Well, indeed you do. But that's true of any business, online or off. And it's a lot easier -- and a whole lot cheaper -- to reach potential customers online than off.

And even if, right now Ugo Amadi Womens Jersey , you have no idea about how to do it, the Web has a virtual overload of information on the subject. In fact, with all the free tutorials that are offered online, you can learn the basics -- and more -- without paying a penny.
