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

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

I would appreciate any advise or assistance on this.

Setting or Resetting a password using SQL in Business One 9.0

In the link shown below, we started a discussion on how to set a password using SQL in Business One. (I am re-opening the discussion in a new thread.)
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3430860
I have been using a similar query to do the same. In the query below, I set the MANAGER password to some value and copy it to all other active users.
update OUSR
set PASSWORD = (select PASSWORD from OUSR where USERID = 1)
where USERID > 1 and GROUPS <> 99 and USER_CODE not like 'B1i%'
This process works just fine in pre-9.0 p09 versions. However, there is something in the new release(s) that is different and being validated so this method no longer works. (I have checked AUSR as the initial control, but this is not the case.)
When using the query above in the current release, logging into users account will generate "Enter valid user name and password". Changing the password manually works just fine. This tells me that there is an additional location where the password is being updated/stored which needs to be included within the script. I am guessing that this location is also where the single-sign-on information might be held, but I am unable to find anything.
I realize that this is not supported. However, when creating a "SANDBOX" database and needing to change 150 users passwords, it is unreasonable that we change these by hand, one-by-one. (And I realize that we should not change those which are using DOMAIN passwords.)
Anyone have any ideas about what else needs to be updated to make this work?
Thanks,
~ terry.

Gordon,
That's part of the challenge!...
I would like the SANDBOX database to be useable by anyone wanting to log in, test, and learn.
But, I do not want it to have the same password as the LIVE database. That way we can better secure the LIVE database and the users will have to type in a different password to access the SANDBOX, eliminating the possibility someone processes live data in a test database.... or visa-versa.
Best practices tell me that we need to do our training and testing in a SANDBOX. Occasionally, we need to copy the LIVE database to a SANDBOX to have current data for this functionality. And I am trying to avoid spending 30-60 minutes manually changing over 100 user passwords.
Thanks,
~ terry.

Crystal Reports and Business One Problems

Hello all
Some questions about Crystal Reports and Business One, I try run some Crystal reports developed in special but for some reason when I ussing Terminal Services this unplug, so, more strange its when the user are not administrators because when are adminstrators this problem is not present.
Some tip its welcome.
Thanks a lot

Hi Ricardo,
I checked the privileges point to point, even as he opened like to administration, but no response as to assign regular users, that is strange.
>I didn't undertstand these statement .What do you mean by point to point .There is only one place you have to specify was user has access to the group you have defined .As described , it is done in number 4 .(Please refer to that )
When we are talking about user -there is two user --One is superuser and regular user
If you are super user , you have to give permission to other users to only crystal report and regular user doesn't need access to Administration module <referring he opened like to administration> .
BTW , Are you familiar with crystal report administration in SAP b1 ? You can find several thread poiting towards training material in the forum
Hope this helps

Need help with Business One Implementation Consultant Certification

Hello,
I need help preparing for the B1 certification. I have taken the test once already and failed. I found it very tricky with multiple correct answers for each question.
I have gone thru the eLearning several times now. And this week I am taking the instructor led training. I have also purchased and studied the Ebook. I have a good grasp of the product, but I feel that this is not enough to help prepare for the test.
I want to know if there are any other resources I could use to help prepare for the test. Are there any practice exams
Any and all help is appreciated
Thank you!

- ETS:
Channel Partner Portal -> Solutions -> SAP Business One -> Support -> Training & Knowledge
- DRC:
Channel Partner Portal -> Solutions -> SAP Business One -> Support -> Documentation resource centre
Hope it helps & good luck!

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...

SAP Business One Interface.

Hi everybody, I'm new in SAP Business One. We are working with other third to party warehouse management software, and we have to create an interface with it. The warehouse system works with tables in its own data base, where we have to put the sales orders, and it has other tables where it puts the information that we need to create the invoices. How can i do that?
Regards.

Fernando
What you are talking about is really a big integration project.
Using the SDK Tool you can download the Sales Order transaction from SAP as a XML file and then extract the Sales Order information from the XML to your Warehouse tables.
Once the warehouse transactions like Receiving / Delivery is done this has to be brought into SAP as a Goods Receipt PO or Delivery document referencing the PO / Sales Order respectively.
You need to go through the SDK training material / help files. These get installed when you install the SDK components from the SAP Product CD. The same can also be found in the document resource center.
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/smb/sbo/documentation
A completely understanding of the SDK functionality would be a good first step before starting on the integration itself.
Best wishes
