There are two types of Report Designer files.

A .RPS file is a direct link to an MYOB Acumatica Site, and really just says "Go open the current report from the website"

A .RPX file is a local copy of a report saved to your computer. If you are working on customising a report, you will probably end up with a few local .RPX copies
