Migration Experience from AccPac to Business One

Our company is looking to transition from Sage AccPac to Business One. I am looking for feedback from previous users of AccPac who are now on B1. Would be interested to hear what you think after using both systems in terms of functionality, learning curve for new users and overall impressions, whether good or bad, of the differences. Thanks in advance !!

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum and welcome you join B1 club.
All migration in general will cause great resistance. Users are reluctant to change. Be ready to fight with any negative comments about new system.
They are different. If the users do not think the new system is better, you have to convince them.
Thanks,
Gordon

  • Capture keystroke from the SAP Business One Desktop

    Does anyone know how I can capture a keystroke from the SAP Business One “Desktop” with the UI API?
    Basically, open the B1 Client, then click the mouse in the back ground beside the main menu so that the cursor is “nowhere” (not in the search field). Now set some code In the KeyDown event to catch any keystrokes. Nothing happens. The event is not called. I even tried using SetWindowsHookEx API function but never got it to work with an SDK project since there is no form hHandle. Woudlnd even work once I gave the hhandle of the B1 Client

    Hi Marc,
    what is your exact requirement ?
    I don't think you can specificly catch a key down in the background - but only because it is not possible to "lose" main menu as active form ( only if you close it -> then search field is active ).
    So basically you have to find a logic where you can catch *your* keydown on any form.
    Be aware of the fact, that keydown won't let you catch all keys / key combinations.
    I had an equal requirement some time ago and after a lot of experimenting ( windows global hook wouldn't work reliable ) I ended up using SBO key shortcuts ( F2-F12 ) and their menu events.

  • Loading data from SAP Business One to BW

    We need to load data from several SAP Business One databases to BW. I find some special objects for SAP Business One in the Business Content
    And a short description in Help:
    The source for the data upload is a file system. The relevant files can be generated using the views provided within the SAP Business One database.
    May be someone has an experience in this area or could advise documentation about this
        May be better to use DB-connect?
    Thanks for your help

    Hello Elena,
    I am just curious if you've found answer to your question how to extract data fron BusinessOne into SAP/BI? What can we use? Only flat files or there are some standard extractors exists? Or have you used DB Connect for that?
    Thank you,

  • Credit Note in SAP Business One

    Hi All,
    We want to reimburse some of the customer promotional expenditure ( e.g. trade scheme operated in the market, distribution expenditure undertaken, display given etc ) in form of credit or we want make credit entry for the same reason to the customer  which should be adjusted with subsequent sales in future.
    But we could not find above facility in SAP Business One.
    You are aware that the credit note issuing is a regular process adopted by all companies and is quite common in FMCG business. We want that each and every single credit note has to be documented in the system and reconciled against each party's claims .
    Please help us with a proper solution  for the  process of system generated Credit Note as that will help us a lot.
    Regards
    Arindam

    Hi Arindam,
    To access the credit note module window from the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Sales u2013 A/R  A/R Credit Memo. Also make sure that you have the credit note option selected in the main menu form settings. Also please check that you have the right permissions and license assigned to the user performing this function.
    For legal reasons, you cannot change or delete a delivery or invoice that you enter in SAP Business One. However, the customer might send the goods back for various reasons, or you may have made a mistake when you entered the documents.
    If a sales transaction for which you record an accounting and an inventory posting has been completely or partially reversed, you must enter a corresponding sales document to clear it. This document reverses the changes in terms of stock quantities and monetary values.
    The credit memo is the clearing document for the invoice and for the returns. If the goods were delivered to the customer and an invoice has already been created, you can partially or completely reverse the transaction by creating a credit memo. With the credit memo y
    ou correct both the quantities and the monetary values. The system increases the stock of the credited items by the amount specified in the credit memo. The credit memo credits the value in the customer account in the Accounting system and amends the revenue account by the same amount. The system corrects the tax amounts automatically.
    SAP Business One enables you to create an A/R credit memo with a zero amount. You can do this when you clear A/R invoices for items delivered without a charge, for example, for items that are part of a promotion or covered by a service contract.
    Hope this helps.
    Kind regards,
    Matt

  • Help with  Business One (B1) Core

    I am trying to install the core SAP ECC tables for the SMB solutions Business One (B1) on Window 2008 or Window 7 64-bit OS.
    I am confused on which B1 version to start with for installing and configuring the core SAP ECC tables functionally then install the add-ins for demou2019s
    What RDBMS do we use to install B1 MAXDB , SQL Servers etc?
    Which version and what order do we install first to get the Core SAP ECC tables and modules then what add-ins or upgrades?
    1.     SAP Business One 8.8 Integration for SAP Net Weaver (B1iSN 8.8)
    2.     SAP Business One 8.8
    3.     SAP Business One 2007 SP01

    Thanks
    Rod

    Hi Rod,
    ECC and B1 is not the same. You can not get the Core SAP ECC tables and modules from B1.
    SAP Business One 8.8 is current version that you should install. Then SAP Business One 8.8 Integration for SAP Net Weaver (B1iSN 8.8) for integration with ECC.
    Only SQL server is supporting RDBMS for B1.
    Thanks,

  • ABAP and Business one

    Hi Friends,
    I tried searching the net for details but i was not able to clearly find. Hence i am posting on this forum. Hence, i apologise for asking such a basic question but i believe that you people can clarify my doubts
    I am working with SAP ABAP for the past 2 years. It was recently one of my colleague suggested about SAP Business one. My queries are :
    1. Is there any link between ABAP and business one ( i.e does it make sense for an ABAPer to learn business one. Are there any concepts of ABAP which we use in Business one)
    2. Is it worth to change your skill set from ABAP to business one?
    3. How good is the market for Business one ?
    Expecting your reply. Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Prem

    1. Is there any link between ABAP and business one ( i.e does it make sense for an ABAPer to learn business one. Are there any concepts of ABAP which we use in Business one)
    ANS: There is no link between ABAP and SAP B1.
    2. Is it worth to change your skill set from ABAP to business one?
    ANS: This is left to the individuals mindset.
    3. How good is the market for Business one ?
    ANS: Market is good for experienced people

  • XI PCK for Business One Integration

    Hi,
    can I use the XI Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK) for SAP Business One to integrate B1 with ERP via SAP XI? What is DI API exactly?
    I don't see the point implementing another middleware like B1i when I use SAP XI for integration with mySAP applications.
    Thanks in advance.
    Alex

    Alexander,
    You can use XI as a connector instead of ALE to connect mySAP ERP to B1i.  The DI API is the connector for SAP Business One.  The DI API or Data Interface API is part of Business One and the Business One SDK.  B1i exists to easily connect mySAP and SAP Business One without typical coding that would be required simply by using XI to connect with SAP Business One and mySAP.  B1i contains all of the connections, pre-defined content, message handling and error correction for common business scenarios to connect these to systems.  Without B1i, you have to hand code everything.  If you are not connecting with SAP Business One, then you may not have a need or requirement to use B1i.  There are more detailed whitepapers here from the SAP Business One main page on SDN.  You should have a look at those.

  • Shorten Business One Deployment (Follow-Up from P2P)

    Deploying SAP Business One Server and Clients can be time cumbersome and time consuming. We definitly have the goal to further streamline the installation experience of SAP Business One. Please share with us:
    - What are you main challenges when installing Business One Server / Client?
    - What are you main challenges when deploying a patch?
    - We have the vision of installing Clients and/or patches with "one click".  Please share with us your ideas to achieve this objective.
    This thread is continuation from 'Shorten Business One deployment' <a href="http://p2p.sap.com/businessoneforum?type=join&login=1&uid=41FB661A76CED536C825C4E2B6FF4397&cid=91&go=z37225">discussion</a> in P2P SAP Business One Forum (Product Development Collaboration).
    Previous discussion on P2P is summarized in the attached file.

    - - What are you main challenges when installing Business One Server / Client?
    The challenges sometimes come from the customer which would not like to invest more money to make their SBO installation more smooth. E.g: the HQ is in city A and the client is in city B, C and D. using V-Sat and Citrix maybe could solve but high investment cost. Another e.g. is slow connection to server from branches to HQ although using citrix + ICA.
    - - M personal challenges are the patch level sometimes replace or even delete some functionality in previous patch, for example. SBO 2005A SP 01 PL 18 upgrade to PL 27, it made receipt from production can't be above PO quantity.
    -- I think it is OK but I can't imagine the result will make it work well or not.

  • Proper way to migrate schema from one DS5.2 to another

    What is the best error free way to migrate schema from one Directory Server 5.2 to another.
    Thanks,

    I have migrated schema from 5.1 to 5.2 and below are my experiences. Check if this helps you in any way.
    - After overwriting 99user.ldif from 5.1 to 5.2; experienced problems in starting the DS 5.2 instance. On looking into the logs, few object classes and attributes gave problems.
    - Modified 99user.ldif in DS 5.2 by appending schema values group by group. Able to start DS 5.2 instance without problems
    - Migrated data (ldif file) via ldif2db command to DS 5.2
    - Encountered problems in DS 5.2; Suffix got dissappeared after migrating the data and a restart of DS 5.2 instance. Upon looking logs and few troubleshooting steps, found the aci's in the data file creating problems
    - Removed aci's in data (ldif file) manually and migrated using ldapmodify command and it worked
