  • Discontinued

Microsoft FRx was discontinued in 2014. It was a report writer software often used with Microsoft Dynamics products. Find alternatives below.

Product Overview

Microsoft FRx was a specialized financial reporting tool that helped organizations streamline their financial close process and improve decision-making through enhanced reporting capabilities. The software was known for its ability to integrate with over 50 financial accounting systems and to pull financial information directly from the General Ledger, ensuring up-to-date and accurate financial reporting. FRx’s user-friendly design included wizards and customizable templates which made it accessible to users with varying levels of financial knowledge.

FRx is no longer supported by Microsoft and is compatible only with older Windows versions, which could pose significant security risks and limitations for continued use. The recommended replacement is Microsoft Management Reporter.
