The folks at Packt were kind enough to send me a review copy of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Reporting. This is an update to the GP 2010 version, a book that I already highly recommend.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Reporting adds GP 2013 reporting elements and provides updates for changes in the new version of GP and Management Reporter.

While reading this book I was struck again by what a great resource it is for the Excel based Analysis Cubes for Dynamics GP. If you've even thought about analysis cubes, you need to buy this book.

The reality is that If you do any reporting in Dynamics GP, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Reporting is the book for you. It is a must have for your GP bookshelf.

This is an update to the GP 2010 Reporting book released a while ago.

The gives a good introduction to some of the reporting tools, such as SamrtList Builder and Management Reporter, and a really good look at Analysis Cubes for Excel.

I'd definitely recommend this book to any GP user who is looking to make more use of the reporting available with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013.

Please note: I received a free ebook copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes. The above would be my opinion whether or not this had been the case.
