How to access information about Report Writer functions in the Microsoft Dynamics GP SDK

Report Writer functions are Dexterity functions that were created to perform functions that are not typically available in Report Writer. These functions can be added to reports by using a Calculated field as a user-defined function. For more information about these functions, see the Report Writer Programmer's Interface document in the Microsoft Dynamics GP Software Development Kit (SDK). To do this, follow the appropriate steps.
