Some time ago Microsoft announced that Management Reporter was no longer going to get development support. This meant that it was time to start exploring options to replace MR internally for financial reporting. No rush, MR isn’t going away soon, but why not explore…
Here is a link with some information about this:

At the same time that the announcement occurred, Microsoft also announced a FREE solution to report our financials… FREE… plus it is EXCEL based. WHAT?!?!?! Awesome, I know!!
Jet Express (Now called Jet Basics) is 100% FREE and does a great job of utilizing Excel and connecting directly to your GP data source for financial reporting… don’t let FREE push you away… it is a VERY powerful free tool and can replace Management Reporter.
Jet Basics is a great way to get started with financials in Excel. Jet Reports takes it one step further… and it’s totally awesome!!!
