Business one - how is the prospects for a MBA fresher

I am very new to business one and I need some information regarding its training and prospects. One of my friend has graduated (MBA) and trying to get into SAP. Since he is fresher he is not able to undergo any major SAP module. The training center is recommending him to underto business one and jump to other modules after he gets his experience. In this circumstance (a fresher trying to learn SAP and become BSA) is Business one an apt module for him? Can he later jump to a major module? How easy difficult will it be for him?
Please give your valuable suggestions.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hello Deepak - I can provide some input from some experience both as a user and as an implementation specialist.
Most folks think that the R3 world is the best place to start due to the larger number of opportunities and the ability to specialize very quickly in a very thin and focused module (for example, HR in R3).  IF, and that is a big IF, a person wants to be locked into a very thin and specialized module, then going to the R3 world is great.
However, if a person likes to work with the entire range of business operations then All In One, Business by Design, and Business One are the avenues to go.  Although there are differences between the R3 world and these other packages, the truth of the matter is that it is much easier to go from these other packages into R3, than vice-versa.  Why?  Because with the other packages, you are forced to understand what is going on throughout the entire system and the entire business process.  I have seen over and over again where an experienced and seasoned R3 person has tried to work in one of the "all-encompassing" packages and drops from senior to junior in the process because they know one distinct area and now they need to know everything (which most do not).
A lot of people refer to SAP Business One as the "little brother" to R3 (and sometimes even insinuate that SAP B1 is not that tough), but you tell me - which is harder to know in an expert fashion - one single piece of the business or the entire process which a business goes through?  I have been on both sides of the fence and, believe me, knowing what to do functionally and technically for the entire process is a much larger effort and requires a special kind of person.
You hear many horror stories about the R3 implementations which take years to do, millions of dollars, and an army of consultants.  Why is that?  Because each consultant knows his/her piece and mis-communication and finger pointing are farily easy to do.  Not quite possible when you have only one or two consultants there to do the entire SAP B1 implementation; it goes quickly and the responsibility is squarely set upon the shoulders of those one or two consultants.
SAP is currently making a big push in SAP Business by Design (SAP ByD) in the upcoming months and have a variety of Webinars and are creating some good documentation since it is a newer SAP release.  The SAP ByD field is wide open for anyone because there are few consultants who can claim experience (which makes it good and bad, depending upon how you see it).
So the bottom line question comes to this;  does your friend want to be part of the army in R3 and learn a specific area of business or does the person like to work as the hedge-pin of success and responsibility in a broad and entire business process?  Finding a great and all-around SAP B1er is like finding a jewel - I have had the pleasure of working with SAP B1 for the past six years and having someone on the team who is both knowledgable and able to get things done is a great asset...the SAP B1 implementation is both tough but very rewarding...
Good luck for your friend who is starting out...

  • How can i add one field in the container for the standard task-90310004?

    Hi,
    Please let me know thw steps to add one field in the container for the standard task-90310004.
    Usefull suggestions will be rewarded.

    Neslin.

    <b>Hi,
    Containers are used for holding Application data for Workflow purposes.
    Event container
    Task container
    Workflow container
    Role container
    Binding is the linking of data from one container to the other for making data available all across the workflow.
    But you can get values from one container to another container like this
    Container(Con)
    1. WF Con to Role, Wf con to task con, Wf con to event
    and
    2. Event con to wf con, task con to wof con
    and
    3. Method con to task con
    and
    4. Task con to method con
    So, we don't have direct possible binding from task con to task con.

  • I want to learn about workflow any one can provide the guidence for me

    i want to learn about workflow any one can provide the guidance for me

    SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
    Features
    SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
    The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
    There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
    In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
    You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.

  • The iphone 4g white was thicker than the black one, is this the same for iphone 4s?

    the iphone 4g white was thicker than the black one, is this the same for iphone 4s?

    Just to clarify, there is no such thing as a iPhone 4G.  The previous model was the iPhone 4, and the new one is the iPhone 4S.  Apple is being careful not to use the term 4G due to the misuse of the term.  Carriers are using the term regularly and Apple may have to start using the term to let consumers know that the new phone is as fast or faster than the phones already on the market using "4G or LTE".  The IPhone 4S is capable of download speeds up to 14.4 Mbps, which is what the carriers are calling "4G LTE", but in actuality 4G is download speeds of 100 Mbps which isn't availible at this time.  Oh, to answer your question, diesel is correct, the phones are identical except for color.

  • In the market for a MBA 13" and cant decide between 128gb vs 256gb. Help please?

    I am in the market for a MBA 13" and cant decide between the 128gb vs 256gb. I will be finishing up grad school within the year and plan on purchasing an iMac to use as the main computer. I would be using the MBA for internet access, some word docs, viewing pdf files, etc. Nothing really heavy, no video/sound editing, or photography type funtions. I would however like to mess with the garage band program but am new to apple and dont have any experience with it. Itunes library is currently about 600 songs and very few pics. I was originally planning on the macbook pro 13" until I talked to a sales person at the apple store who introduced me to the idea of a MBA. I really like the price point of the 128gb vs 256gb but just want to make sure that I am being realistic with size. Help please?

    I've worked part time for an Apple reseller for a very long time and sold a lot of low end computers to people who thought they were going to use the computer for just email and surfing, maybe writing the Christmas letter. It didn't take me long to realize that a lot of those customers were coming back within a year or 18 months to upgrade their computer or replace it with a more powerful one.
    Based on this experience, I try very hard not to let someone walk out of the store with the low end MBA if that's the only computer in the household. It can't be upgraded. Since the 2011 MBA shipped I've seen another trend developing - it has happened in my own household, with a lot of the people I work with, and customers too. Despite having another computer, even one that in terms of specs is more powerful than the MBA, a lot of people have turned their MBA into their main computer. With that in mind, the 128GB drive really is the bare minimum and it will be costly to upgrade - not to mention voiding the warranty.

  • How to use SAP Business One as a source system for SAP BW 7.1

    Dear Experts,
    We have SAP Business One system as a transactional system. We need to connect the same to SAP BW so that we can deliever reports for this system in SAP BW. I want to know how the integration between these two systems work. Are there standard datasources created in SAP Business One which can be consumed directly in SAP BW like any other ABAP systems, or SAP Business needs to be connected using some ETL tool like UDConnect or Informatica?

    Hi Manoj,
    Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
    1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
    2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
    3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
    Hope this helps.

  • Can different cluster  of SAP Business One installed on the same Server

    Hi!
       Can anyone tell me if B1 different cluster version installed and run on the same server. Example B1 2005A AND B1 2005B. If it can, could you please include the procedure how can it be done.
    Thanks,
    Jo Borlagdan

    No, A and B have different patch cycles - so there would be conflicts in SBO-Common. Therefore it will not work.
    You could try to workaround that with named instances of MSSQL, but installation & update would need additional care + workarounds.
    The best way to combine 2 SAP Business One cluster "servers" but still on one hardware would be to use a tool like VMWare... - but such a configuration has not been released by SAP - i.e. if there's an issue that could be traced back to the VMWare system, SAP might not be (li?)able to fix it
    Sorry,
    Frank
    Message was edited by: Frank Moebius
    BTW: Please note that you need to think eventually about conflicts with MS licenses. SAP has an agreement with MS which ASFAIK covers the license for 1 VMWare Windows system on 1 Windows PC so that we can use WMWare for SAP Business One sandbox systems - after RAM upgrades () it works fine...

  • Would Like to get an iPod but not sure which one would be the best for me..

    i have done some research on the iPods, the easiest to use, which ones are best for fitness workouts, etc. I had an iPod Classic sometime ago but I ruined it because I tried to install the program it came with but it was already installed and the second install I did ruin it. At least this is what the genius bar guy said.
    Anybody who knows iPods fairly well. I am new to my MacBook Pro and I would like to be able to synch the music in iTunes with the iPod for music for various activities. I also have trouble with the ear phones that come with the iPods, so I was looking at a website that had earphones ranging from $300 to $500 approx for people who have various needs in addition to using them at studios while mixing new music. I just want a pair that will stay in my odd shaped ears, have great quality, and work well with the iPods.
    Any recommendations on iPod for exercise. I am not big on videos but having some good music gets me through a hard workout. One problem I have is that the genus guys could not fix the multiple setting, software, preference settings, etc. that had become corrupted in my old Mac and because several genius guys could not fix the numerous problems they gave me a new MacBook Pro. However, they recommended that since my problems were all setting, software issues and problems I have add with adding music in iTunes, that none of my pictures, music or setting be transferred to the new MBP but to start over. They did not even save any of my iTunes and pictures which I thought was odd but what could I say since they were giving me a new MBP. If anybody has a legal way of transferring from my friend;s iTunes the music he has that I can use for the yoga and mind-body classes I teach, which I am getting nervous on because I start the classes next week. I do not have the money to buy the yoga and other fitness music in hours like I use to have. My friend will let me transfer some of his music that he had from his own cds and some but few from iTunes, but that I could get them on myTunes if I could find out how to do that.
    I researched that and since my friend did not care about atwork, artists of the songs on one cd, for example, the genre, tracks, artists, etc. he does have some but I would want to do the research and get the artwork and the titles of the various songs, the tracks, and all the info one gets when they transfer a new cd to iTunes. I had this problem with some of my old music but with google images, and finding the cd online I was able to get all the CDs accurate, even the double CDs that iTunes would have as one cd, but I figured out how to get them to one cd.
    The ways ITunes Help advices on moving songs from one iTunes to another computer with iTunes, they recommend an iPod, transferring them to a DVD and burn the DVd on to my new MacBook Pro, with several other option that were beyond my ability to understand. If anybody has suggestions how to get my friend;s songs to my iTunes so I can have enough New Age and Yoga music for the classes that start next week, I would really appreciate it.
    I also want to start backing up using time Machine and LaCie Rugged hard disk FW, USB, 400 0r 800 FW, 7200 speed, usb, etc. I am not up-to-date on the speed of the LaCie and if the 7200 speed would be a waste of money. Any recommendations for getting this device, not hooking it up to a wireless devise but to the Time Machine. If it does not come formatted for the new MacBook Pro and is it a big deal formatting the hard drive so I would be able to start using it right out of the box. Any suggestions n the iPod, and the LaCie rugged external hard drive would be a hugh help. I cannot afford a Time Capsule right now so I though the LaCie would be the next best thing
    Thanks!!

  • Go back one animation on the iPad for Keynote integrated in iBooks Author

    When playing a Keynote presentation, you can go back one animation if you hold down the Shift key while pressing the back arrow key.
    But how can you do this on the iPad when you have integrated the Keynote presentation with a widget in iBooks Author?
    Tapping or swiping brings forward each animation step by step. Bu swiping backward brings you back to the start of the slide.
    Is there an equivallent for Shift+back arrow on the iPad for iBooks?

    I have the same issue.  I am also using the Keynote remote from my Iphone.

    Hi,
    I have exported the data from two sources, MS-Excel and SAP Business One to Sap Business One (8.81). While exporting the data, I got the error "The field is too small to accept the data you attempt to add. try inserting or pasting less data" for the first time, Immediately when I run it again, it shows export successfully completed, but nothing is changed in the SAP Business One. Could you please provide the solution as early as possible?

  • How is the design for this complex requirement ? pls help..

    Hi All,
    We have a Discount scheme that can be given for all possible
    combination of all customer, area and product hierarchy (attached below).
    for example :
    Promotion No.001 =>for sales on : CustomerGroup 'A', Area 'B', and
    ProductBrand 'C' will get discount 2 %
    Promotion No.002 =>for sales on : AllCustomer, District 'D', and
    Product 'E' will get discount 2.5 %
    Promotion No.003 =>for sales on : CustomerType 'F', AllArea, and
    ProductGroup 'G' will get discount 3 %
    ... and any possible combination.
    And it is possible for an Order / Invoice to get discount from two or
    more different promotion.
    e.g: Order 001, get 2 % from Promotion No.001 and 3 % from Promotion
    No.003, so totally it gets 5% discount.
    (1) Customer Hierarchy
    AllCustomer
    CustomerGroup
    CustomerType
    Customer
    (2) Area Hierarchy
    AllArea
    Region
    District
    Area
    (3) Product Hierarchy
    AllProduct
    ProductGroup
    ProductBrand
    Product
    Our Orders Data has following attributes :
    OrderNo.
    Customer
    Area
    Product
    Gross
    Discount
    Additional info :
    - Oracle version : 10g
    - If multiple discounts are applied, e.g: two discount, 10% each, then
    the total discount is 20%, if gross = 100, then netto is 100 * 80% =
    80.
    The design that comes to my mind is like below, please give me
    correcttion and recommendation :
    The Promotions is defined in master-detail :
    - one master table
    - three detail tables (one for each possible hierarchy)
    - one additional Tabel to store detail of discount an Order get,
    because it can get 2 or more discount.
    PromoHeader :
    - PromoNumber
    - Description
    - StartDate
    PromoDetail1 :
    - PromoNumber
    - PType (ALL / CustomerGroup / CustomerType / Customer)
    - PCode (ALL / 'xxxx' )
    ( note : 'xxxx' can be Customer Group Code, Customer Type Code or
    Customer Code )
    PromoDetail2 :
    - PromoNumber
    - PType (ALL / Region / District / Area)
    - PCode (ALL / 'xxxx' )
    ( note : 'xxxx' can be Region Code, District Code or Area Code )
    PromoDetail3 :
    - PromoNumber
    - PType (ALL / ProductGroup / ProductBrand / Product)
    - PCode (ALL / 'xxxx' )
    ( note : 'xxxx' can be ProductGroup Code, ProductBrand Code, Product
    Code )
    PromoByOrder
    - OrderNumber
    - PromoNumber
    - PType
    - PCode
    - Discount (%)
    (if an Order get two discount, there will be two records on this table
    for thet order)
    The question is :
    1) is this a 'good enough' design ?
    2) if I do go with this design, how is the efficient query / plsql to
    calculate the discounts for an Order.
    Pls help..
    Thank you very much,

    How was your wife using the Find My iPhone app from a Samsung phone? But, that question aside, your wife should educate herself on how GPS works, especially on a cell phone. GPS signals can be interfered with by trees, buildings, clouds. Off by several miles would be unusual, though.
    If your wife is tracking your cell phone and not believing what you tell her, you may want to consider counseling as there are some very serious issues that go way beyond the technology.
    Best of luck.

  • How come the driver for the validiy sensor has an older version but newer release date

    Can someone please explain why the driver for the finger print reader has an older date but a newer version?
    The one on HPs website := Driver Version 4.4.234.0 and Driver Date 24/09/2012.
    Yet the one on my P.C. := Driver Version 4.5.235.0 and Driver Date 22/07/2009.
    Is it worth updating or not?
    I can't seem to get the add-on working on I.E. 11.0.3
    Any advice appreciated.

    Spyke,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    Short Answer: 
    If you are running the same version of the Operating System that you were running when the driver was installed, then it is likely your driver is fine as it is.
    Based on your Example:
    If you have upgraded your Operating System, and you are using Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 AND your system is among those supported by the "newer" driver, then you should upgrade.
    Long Answer:
    There are several Validity Sensor Drivers of this same revision - in the case of sp58869 , the driver has been issued as a compatible driver for the HP Envy M6 for both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.   The change might have required additional supporting libraries used with the driver and did not require changes to the driver software itself.
    You didn't say which computer model you have nor the version of Windows you are running.
    It is true the specific driver within the version class might make a difference if you have updated your Operating System since your own driver was issued for your computer.
    It is true that reinstalling a "same version" driver can help if the driver on your system is corrupted.  Driver corruption is normal to some extent -- leave a driver on a Windows computer long enough and one or two of the zillions of instructions can corrupt, links can be lost; data can become unstable due to library changes or registry errors.
    Drivers control hardware.  The fingerprint driver only controls the fingerprinter.
    Software provides a means for the user to interact with the computer in an organized environment.
    ==================================================​=========================================
    Sometimes a perfectly good driver can "look bad" -- certain data persists from boot to boot.  This is normal and the fact that some data is immediately available at boot means the computer starts up faster and that the Operating System is available sooner to the user of the computer.
    When things in the boot-to-boot instruction set get tangled, then things may stop working:  TouchPad, mouse (external), fingerprint software, maybe even the keyboard.  The login data profile for the user account may not set up properly.
    Driver Reset / Clean-the-cobwebs off the computer:
    Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
    Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook

    If Internet Explorer 11 is a recent update from a previous version, and even if this is not an upgraded IE issue, it is important that you be running the most recent version of your fingerprint Software.
    I am assuming a lot here -- including that you are running HP SimplePass Version 6.x.
    Continuing that line of thought; you might find the following useful:

  • How is the design for this complex requirement ?

    Hi All,
    I have Customer hierarchy as follow :
    CustomerCategory
    CustomerType
    CustomerGroup
    Customer
    Discount can be given to a CustomerCategory, or CustomerType, or a CustomerGroup, or a Customer , or to ALL Customer. Discount is defined in a Promotion Table
    Customer Table :
    CustomerCode
    CustomerName
    CustomerCategoryCode
    CustomerTypeCode
    CustomerGroupCode
    Order Table :
    OrderNo
    OrderDate
    CustomerCode
    OrderGross
    Discount
    Promotion Table :
    PromoNumber
    PromoType (ALL / CustomerCategory / CustomerGroup / CustomerType / Customer)
    PCode (ALL / 'xxxx' )
    Discount
    ** note :
    if PromoType = PCode = 'ALL', means the Discount is given to all customer.
    If PromoType = 'CustomerCategory' then PCode = Customer Category Code
    If PromoType = 'Customer' then PCode = Customer Code
    and so on...
    ** by doing this I avoid to define discount in four table.
    The question is :
    1) Is there any better way to define the promotion table
    2) If I do design the Promotion table like above, how is the efficient query to find the discount for an Order ??
    Thank you for your help,

    How was your wife using the Find My iPhone app from a Samsung phone? But, that question aside, your wife should educate herself on how GPS works, especially on a cell phone. GPS signals can be interfered with by trees, buildings, clouds. Off by several miles would be unusual, though.
    If your wife is tracking your cell phone and not believing what you tell her, you may want to consider counseling as there are some very serious issues that go way beyond the technology.
    Best of luck.
