Business One Training Materials for Opening Balances

Hello, I am doing my first implementation of Business One for a new company.  I have everything setup except for the opening balances.  I have gone through the Opening Balances training on the Partner site but it doesn't show me how to enter the initial opening balance dollar value...  
I selected an opening balance g/l account (with a balance of zero because i don't know where to add any $ to this account) then entered their opening balance for their cash account but it displays a negative dollar value for the Opening Balance account due to there not being any $ in that account...
I am wondering what the actual process is of entering the first initial dollar value to get the opening balance account to be zero after doing the opening balances (from the admin menu) rather then it being negative when you are finished with the opening balances?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Opening balance accounts are all clearing account that offset the actual balance. You do not need to enter dollar value directly here. In which way you have entered OB?
Hello Gordon,
I followed the SAP B1 training whereas I opened the Opening Balances for GL accounts window, selected my opening balance account (which has a balance of zero dollars), entered $100,000 into their bank account G/L account and clicked the Add button.
This ended up giving my opening balance account -100,000 and my bank account a +100,000 balance. 
From most of the documents I've read, they say that the opening balance account should be at zero after doing the opening balances but how would you do that in this case (where all they have is a bank account to start with and all BP's accounts set to zero)?
This is a new business starting from scratch... all they have is their bank account and they are currently purchasing items from vendors and they want to enter the transactions for those items starting tomorrow into B1.
Let me know,
Jason

  • Anybody know where I can find tutorials and training materials for Adobe Output Designer

    Hi everybody,
    I am a graphic / web designer and newly appointed on a project requiring Adobe Output Designer skills. Now, I've already searched in a lot of places: but still couldn't find a reliable source of tutorials and training materials for Adobe Output Designer.
    Can anybody help?

    The DJI cameras were first supported in ACR 8.3 and more support added in ACR 8.4:
    Lens profile support | Lightroom 5, 4, 3 | Photoshop CS6, CS5 | Camera Raw 8, 7, 6
    You will need PS-CS6 or PS-CC or PSE12 with current updates on OSX 10.7.x or Windows 7+ to use this version of ACR.
    However, even if you have an older version of PS or older OS, if you can install the Adobe DNG Converter, you can copy these lens profiles to the User's lens profile folder and they might be seen.  I can give more specific instructions about doing this if you are unable to update PS's ACR to 8.3/8.4.

  • Some thoughts on the dearth of training materials for the new MCSE certifications

    Mostly this is venting... while it would be nice to see some remediation, I have no such expectations.
    Given that Windows Server 2012 was GA 15 months ago, I'm severely disappointed at the lack of published training guides targeted to the MCSA and MCSE certifications (most notably the 70-413 and 70-414), and specifically with respect to the objectives involving
    System Center that are included in those examinations.
    I used the Exam Ref by Steve Suehring, and frankly was quite disappointed, although I'm not sure whether to blame the book, or the question pool on the exam. What I did observe was that a significant percentage of the concepts discussed in the Exam Ref book,
    and ostensibly in the objectives for the exam, were not actually touched at all by the exam. More significantly, I encountered concepts on the exam that were not even mentioned in the Exam Ref. Presumably the Training Guide (700 pages) will go into much more
    detail (e.g. the exam I encountered seemed very heavy with respect to Active Directory Site design), but it won't be available until April (at the earliest).
    Further, there's nothing available in the realm of preparation materials for the 70-414. The Exam Ref was supposed to be available in September 2013. (The O'Reilly site says March 2014, but the MS Exam Page is not yet updated.) Who knows when it
    will really be available, and I don't even see a mention of an actual Training Guide for this exam.
    Adding insult to injury, I bought into the special last spring to take the -417, -413, and -414 (which expires tomorrow), and have been unsuccessful at passing the -413 (due to the poor prep materials) and didn't even consider the -414 (due to the non-existent
    prep materials).  Frankly, I feel very ripped off -- (And if the actual questions on the -413 compared to the Exam Ref are any guide, I'm not particularly encouraged by the eventual availability of the -414 Exam Ref.)
    I do see where there's still a discount package available (including 2nd shots) for the MCSE: Server Infrastructure ($255 for both exams plus 2nd shots), available until May 31, 2014-- and expire on December 31, 2014. I think I'll wait until May and see
    if [a] the -413 Training Guide gets published and [b] what the "master plan" will be for training for the -414.
    Btw.. it seems the prospects are no better for the MCSE: Private Cloud exams either.

    For post-production and audio work, having a quieter computer is one of the reasons I ordered a Mac Pro - quieter is good. And as my MDD dual 867Mhz is now as long in the tooth as I am, it couldn't come at a better time. I was really contemplating buying a quad G5 the past 6 months, but then heard the professional desktop would come out during the developer's conference, and I'm glad I waited. The price is absolutely - and insanely - great. Mine should be here on the 15th, and I'll be counting the hours. As for the risers, I'm willing to endure a few nanoseconds as a trade-off.

  • BPC 7.5: FX rate for opening balance from different category

    Hi,
    I have three categories in my system, ACTUAL, ESTIMATE and BUDGET. When we submit ACTUAL data, we also submit a forecast for the year end period (DEC in our case). We also have currency rates for FORECAST for the DEC period.
    We are now working on the budget and the opening balances (business rule) are coming from the forecast since we obviously do not yet have actuals.
    This copying works fine (CATEGORY_FOR_OPE on BUDGET is set to FORECAST).
    However, when we run a currency conversion, we have a problem. The opening balances are set to convert at the previous year end rate which is fine. But the system uses the BUDGET category rates whereas we want it to use the FORECAST rates. But only for the opening balances, all other flows should be converted using the BUDGET rates.
    Is it possible when using the currency conversion business rule, to use the FORECAST rates from the previous year end for opening flows but BUDGET rates for all other flows?
    Thanks,
    Arnold

    Hi Arnold,
    Yes this can be done.
    Basically in your FX business rule table you need to have your opening flow/acctdet to use the formula [AS_IS]. This will take the group currency value from the previous period (in your case the last period of year -1 in the FORECAST category) and enter that value in the group currency field in the current year for BUDGET.
    Note - If you are doing detailed balance sheet planning and you need it to always to balance to 0, then you will also need to put a line in your business rule to take [END]-[AS_IS] to the currency translation reserve. Otherwise this [AS_IS] value in GC will mean your GC balance sheet will be out of balance.
    Hope this solves your issue.
    Tom.

  • Business One Training

    I am looking for support on Business One. I will be starting a new job in 2 weeks that my new company is currently using Business One. I want to be prepared and looking for information on the program. My experience in SAP is with a Fortune 15 company which used SAP.I have researched the internet and only see the same tutorials on Business One. Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Marc

    Hello Marc - welcome to the world of SAP B1. 
    A few outside references/books you might want to get ahold of:
    1.  Introduction to SAP Business One by Robert Mayerhofer.
    2.  SAP Business One Implementation by Wolfgang Niefert.
    You can also go to Amazon and look at some reviews done there.
    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_16?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=sapbusinessone&sprefix=sapbusinessone
    If you are going to do any work with Crystal Reports, then try to find Crystal Reports Beginner Level Training DVDs by The Orchestra Team (they have some great videos on You Tube also).  A good book is No Stress Tech Guide to Business Objects Crystal Reports 2008 by Dr Murphy.
    The Business One to Go from SAP is really a great guide (as already suggested) but please make sure you get the proper version - 2007 or 8.8...
    If you are coming from a Fortune company (as I also did), be prepared to cover a whole lot of ground.  You were probably working with the SAP R3 ERP system and there is a world of difference between R3 and SAP B1.  After 5 years in SAP B1, I am pretty happy with all of the new things learned in SAP B1 because there are so many nuances which are easily overlooked.  But your experience with a Fortune company will come in very handily with the "big" picture outlook...
    If you are going to be working in an IT technical role or have supervision over IT technical functions, send me a note using the info on my business card and I can help direct you to a good site for IT in a small company that covers much, much more than just SAP.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions in the forum as this is probably the best place to get answers, and there are quite a few great people here willing to help...
    Good luck and take care - Zal
