Management Reporter is the hot new financial reporting tool that has replaced FRx in Microsoft Dynamics GP. In the past, you had to pay a license fee for each additional Management Reporter Designer or View user. But now when you purchase Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 you get an unlimited number of Management Reporter users for free.
Cost of Management Reporter for Dynamics GP
In the last version of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 (under Business Ready Licensing) you received one Management Reporter Designer user with each Dynamics GP user license purchased. But then if you wanted additional licenses it was $1,000 each for designer users and $125 for viewer users. Plus the annual maintenance fee on those license.
But now you get an unlimited number of Management Reporter Users for free in Dynamics GP 2013. That can be a huge cost savings.
