FRx Report Conversion for Sage ERP Now Even Easier

New Reporting Tree Conversion Utility for Sage 100 ERP (MAS 90) and Sage 500 ERP (MAS 500)

We previously introduced you to the Sage Intelligence Report Designer Add-in - an important tool in converting your old FRx reports to Sage Intelligence reports. The only time-consuming task that remained was the process of manually converting your reporting trees - but no more!

A new FRx Reporting Tree Conversion Utility converts FRx Reporting Trees into Sage Intelligence Reporting Trees. It’s a great complement to the Report Designer Add-in and together, they significantly speed up the conversion process.
