Crystal Reports

Create and customize presentation-quality reports from the data in your Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 ERP system with Crystal Decisions software. Crystal Reports® is a powerful WYSIWYG report writer that allows you to create meaningful reports quickly and easily. You can use sample reports straight out of the box or modify them to suit your needs.

The ODBC (open database connectivity) driver gives Crystal Reports direct access to Sage MAS 90 and 200 data and provides read-only access for other applications, including MS Word, Excel, and Access.

FRx

FRx is a full-featured, graphical financial reporting tool. Microsoft FRx Desktop is recognized as a best-of-breed financial report writer and a market leader with more than 75,000 installations worldwide, 8,000 of which use a Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 ERP system.

With FRx Desktop, the ability to independently specify row and column formats maximizes the flexibility of your report formats. Combine formats with custom reporting trees that match your company’s chart of accounts structure to report on specific cost centers. Using a special tool known as the Cleaver, you can restructure your cost centers or carve out new account segments not possible in your standard general ledger. After creating a report, you can print it, export it to an Excel worksheet, drill down to examine the transaction details, or distribute it through e-mail. Plus, FRx Desktop includes links that allow you to include external spreadsheet data in reports. You can also generate multi-company consolidation reports.

F9

A powerful Excel-based financial reporting tool, F9 uses advanced technology to deliver data from your Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 General Ledger module to Excel. When you activate the unique hot link feature from within your spreadsheet, you create an automatic link to your general ledger data—and each cell in your spreadsheet can be hot-linked to any data item in the General Ledger module. Real-time financial information is instantly available within your spreadsheet, and you can save time by taking advantage of your existing spreadsheet expertise. F9 also saves time by eliminating re-keying of data into your spreadsheet.

With F9, your spreadsheet becomes an integral part of your Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200 accounting system. You can easily perform a “what if” analysis to determine the effect of business decisions on your company’s financial status, using up-to-the-minute information from your General Ledger.
