Blog Post: Report group updates reduce report distribution maintenance
Using report groups in Management Reporter is a great way to streamline the report generation process. In Management Reporter 2012 CU6, report groups have been updated to reduce maintenance of report distribution maintenance as well. Company, date and detail information along with distribution locations can all be modified within the report group. Check out the video below for an overview of the updates made to report groups.

Is it the same whether adding from a workstation or the server? Sounds like either your app server, your db or your client cannot communicate with the domain controller.

Blog Post: Can Microsoft Dynamics SL be Hosted?
Traditional on-premise implementations of Microsoft Dynamics SL give you complete control over finances, but owning the licenses has hidden costs. With having to maintain extra hardware - along with the associated ongoing IT support to keep up with your constantly changing business needs - the total cost of ownership can be high. For this reason, many businesses using Dynamics SL are looking to move to hosted solutions. This raises the question: can Dynamics SL be hosted? The answer is yes.
By working with your Dynamics SL partner, your entire data base and environment can be brought to a hosting provider. Your costs will then be limited to a monthly subscription fee that will handle the software maintenance plan and entitle you to upgrades at no additional cost. From an IT planning and infrastructure investment standpoint, upgrades are easier and cheaper. Plus, you decrease your technology risk with enterprise-class security, back-up, and disaster recovery at a much lower cost than doing it yourself

Forum Post: How to delete an Inventory Unit of Measure
Hi
We found a problem when entering an order for a particular part number and think that it involves the SKU in the invetory table being different from the SKU in the Unit Conversion table (rolls vs Cases). To resolve this I would like to delete the rule in the Unit Conversion maintenance section but am not able to do so. We get
"System Message 16234 - UOM values are currently in use by Inventory item. Deletion is not possible"
Does anyone know of the process to delete a particular conversion rule short of editing the table itself?
Thank you

I have tried working with both SL 2011 SP1 and FP1
There is an error as follows for each of the dimensions that get integrated:

Forum Post: RE: Cash Manager Detail Bank Rec Report
Is the date the check was written in a different period from the period to post in the GL? That is one possible issue.
Specifically relating to the detail report, the field definitions are these:
Create Date: generally identifies the release date of a transaction and the update date of a daily cash balance. General Ledger posting could occur on or after this date.
Tran Date: identifies the date of the transaction record and equates to the transaction date of a daily cash balance
Pd to Post: is the financial period to post of the transaction record and equates to the period number of a daily cash balance.

Forum Post: RE: Cash Manager Detail Bank Rec Report
Bug 23910 says:
Bank reconciliation detail report drops detail and shows an incorrect adjusted balance when the detail happens to fall at a page break
This was first reported in ver 8 and is fixed in our next 8 release. Here is the workaround:
1. Select the Detail format
2. Click on the Sort tab
3. Put a page break on wrkcadetail.rcptdisbflg
4. Print the report with this modification on the sort tab
An alternative would be to:
In Crystal reports for 2063d, choose Report>Section Expert. Select each line on the left and see if the box is checked to Suppress Blank Section. If it is, remove it. Not it is not likely that you would need to remove this from all lines but I can't be more specific about exactly which lines should be removed so remove them all.

Blog Post: Cash Flow Statements in Management Reporter
Many of you are familiar with the challenges of creating a cash flow statement on paper, now combine that with reporting tool like Management Reporter (MR) that pulls data from your Dynamics ERP system. In looking at the a cash flow statement it would seem fairly straight forward, similar to building a balance sheet, however there are a three items that require some thought and more advanced knowledge with MR report writing.
Beginning Balances
Beginning from prior periods or years are needed in the calculations of the cash flow statement. The column definition will define the period and year for that column but in the row definition you have the ability to modify that row with an account modifier and pull in different periods. Using the row modifier you are able to override the period in all the columns for that row. You have several options for what period you want to report on for that row.

Calculations Using the Beginning Balances
Now that you have the beginning balances added to your row definitions you may have the need to pull in amounts from different columns in order for your calculations in the column definition to work properly. To accomplish that you can add a related formula in the row definition for a specific row. In the below example that row 100 will return the value in column B equal to column B row 1270 and the value in column E equal to column C row 1270.

FASB Style Cash Flow Statements
Now the more challenging aspect of building a cash flow statement is involved. Most company’s use a FASB format of a cash flow statement which requires items such as fixed assets to be reported in more detail such as additions to fixed assets and disposals of fixed assets.
During our MR training classes we discuss the different ways that everyone is using to produce their cash flow statements and what can be done to eliminate the need to export to excel and adjust numbers to complete the cash flow statement. Below are a few of the ideas that have come from our classroom discussions, each having some pros and cons.
External Worksheet
The training manuals for MR uses the example of pulling in data from an external excel worksheet. The setup for this is more involved so I will refer you to the Microsoft MR manuals, as they do a good job of describing the setup for this.
This is probably the easiest way to input the data for the details needed in the cash flow statement.
The downside of this is that the excel worksheet can be unsecured and is prone to being incorrectly changed or deleted by others. The other potential issue is that the excel spreadsheet is only for that specific year and if you are running prior year data you would need to modify the external link in MR to pull from a different spreadsheet.
Print Controls
Another option is to use the print control in the row definition and select DR for all debits and CR for all credits. In the example below row 880 will return all the debits or additions and row 895 will return all the credits or dispositions.
The benefit of this method is that the report does not require any maintenance of outside worksheets or other additional setup.
The potential problem with this method is what happens if an adjusting entry is made to those accounts, then the amounts may not reflect the true additions for disposals.

Statistical Ledger or Unit Accounts
So far this method has proven to be the best solution based on our discussions in the classroom. The idea is to setup a statistical ledger (Dynamics SL) or Unit Accounts (Dynamics GP) and enter the one side journal entry as part of your month end process to an account for additions to fixed assets and another account for disposals of fixed assets, repeating this idea for other account details needed. Refer to the following blogs for setting up Statistical ledgers in Dynamics SL ……………………………………….… and Dynamics GP http://www.boyerassoc.com/blog/how-to-use-dynamics-gp-unit-accounts-to-enhance-your-management-reports . This is similar to the above beginning balances but you would select the Book Code Modifier not the Account Modifier for Dynamics SL then you would enter the account # in the Link to Financial Dimensions used for the details you are looking for. For Dynamics GP you would just enter the Unit Account number for the Link to Financial Dimensions.

The benefits of this are that the numbers are secured from being changed or deleted just like a normal journal entry, the numbers are stamped with the year and period posted and will pull into you MR report according to the date parameters setup in your reports, and you can accommodate for any adjusting entries made to the accounts.
The downside is that if the account balance changes after your initial one sided entry your report may not balance. You can then build check figures in the report to alert you that these numbers do not tie which you can then post an additional one sided entry to correct the balances.
