During a recent upgrade of a client from Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 we also did a migration of FRx to Management Reporter.
After doing the test upgrade and migration I tested Management Reporter and everything was working fine. However, a month later when I was back on site for the live upgrade and some additional training, I found that Management Reporter was no longer working correctly.
When I tried to open a column definition I received an error:
Management Reporter: The operation could not be completed due to a problem in the data provider framework.When I clicked OK on this error a second was displayed:
Management Reporter: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: sourceI clicked OK again and then received a third error as Management Reporter crashed and closed:
Management Reporter for Microsoft Dynamics ERP has stopped workingAs the error was Management Reporter I checked the error Service Logs in the Configuration Console and found two errors.
The first error which reflects the provider framework error message which had popped up:
Show/Hide Error Message
Microsoft.Dynamics.Performance.Reporting.Common.ReportingProviderFrameworkException: The operation could not be completed due to a problem in the data provider framework.

at Microsoft.Dynamics.Performance.Reporting.Common.Service.ServiceBase.BaseExecute[TResult](Func`1 executor)
Component: Microsoft.Dynamics.Performance.Reporting.DataProvider.Server.DirectLinkService
User: DOMAIN\userAnd the second error which actually gives some details of the error:
Show/Hide Error Message
Microsoft.Dynamics.Performance.DataProvider.Core.ValidationException: One functional currency code must be defined. Correct the data to define a functional currency code for the provider.

Component: Microsoft.Dynamics.Performance.Reporting.DataProvider.Server.DirectLinkService
User: DOMAIN\userThe Windows Event Viewer often records different error messages to Dynamics GP or Management Reporter so I also checked the that on the server running the Management Reporter services and found three errors.
The first showing the same functional currency error as the second of the Management Reporter Configuration Console errors:

User: DOMAIN\userThe second error which shows the same framework provider error as the first of the Management Reporter Configuration Console errors
Show/Hide Error Message
Microsoft.Dynamics.Performance.Reporting.Common.ReportingProviderFrameworkException: The operation could not be completed due to a problem in the data provider framework.

Component: Microsoft.Dynamics.Performance.Reporting.DataProvider.Server.DirectLinkService
User: DOMAIN\userAnd the third error which was not duplicating one from the Configuration Console:
Show/Hide Error Message
System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.Dynamics.Performance.Reporting.Common.Service.ServiceFault]: The operation could not be completed due to a problem in the data provider framework. (Fault Detail is equal to Microsoft.Dynamics.Performance.Reporting.Common.Service.ServiceFault).I checked and one of the companies in Dynamics GP did not have a functional currency set; once set Management Reporter worked without further issue.
I was, and still am, a little puzzled over this error as Management Reporter had worked fine immediately after it had been installed and the reports migrated from FRx.
What should we write about next?
