Jet Reports users can increase the speed of Dynamics GP financial reports by excluding inactive accounts.

Excluding Inactive Accounts in Jet Reports
To exclude inactive GP accounts, you will need to generate your dynamic lists (replicators) in Jet Reports using the NL function rather than the GP function. We recommend building your list using either the standard GP SQL list Accounts or the custom Jet View Jet GL Account. Here is an example of an NL Rows replicator built to filter out inactive accounts:
See the attached for an example of this technique.
