SAP Business One 2007 - SQL Security best practice

I have a client with a large user base running SAP Business One 2007. 
We are concerned over the use of the sql sa user and the ability to change the password of this ID from the logon of SAP Business One.
We therefore want to move to use Windows Authentication (ie Trusted Connection) from the SAP BO logon.  It appears however that this can only work by granting the window IDs (of the SAP users) sysadmin access in SQL.
Does anyone have a better method of securing SAP Business One or is there a recommended best practice.  Any help would be appreciated.
Damian

See Administrators Guide for best practise.
U can use SQL Authentication mode Don't tick Remember password.

  • Down Payment Invoice in Sap Business One 2007

    hi
      Scenario.
      Before Creating Sales Order Advance is taken from customer. Then Sales Order is created .
      Before delivery performa invoice is raised indicating Advance & Balance Amount against that Sale Order
      Example price = 225000 Taxes = 23410 Advance = 75000 Balance = 178410.  Then finally invoice is raised for the full amount.
       How this can be done.
       Is there any document on How to link Customer Advance with A/R Invoice for Sap Business One 2007.
    Thanks

    Hi Manish,
    The following would apply to 2007A but I would think it's the same or very similar for 2007B:
    1.  Enter your Sales Order - don't click 'Add' if you've also received a payment (advance payment or deposit)
    2.  Click on the Payment Means (money bag) icon
    3.  Select the payment method and enter the amount information, etc. (like a regular incoming payment)
    4.  Click OK to save the changes; you will return to the S/O window
    5.  Click Add to save the S/O and payment.
    When doing this, SAP will not only add your S/O but create and AR DownPayment Invoice & Incoming Payment, all linked together.
    If you've already processed your S/O, open it and copy it to an AR DownPayment Invoice.
    Enter the DPM amount in the footer section.
    Do steps 2 & 3 (above).
    Add the AR DP invoice.
    When ready to process the invoice, be sure to link the DPM before adding it otherwise there will be some manual steps to do.
    Hope this helps,
    Heather

  • How to create Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007

    Hi,
    When I create my Add-On into SBO I have some issues.
    Which program do I use to create an Add-On into SBO?
    Is there a URL or Path where I find the program?
    I am using a 2003 program which is built by my colleague.
    I assume SAP provide the Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007
    Thank you,
    Rune

    Rune,
    At a high level ...
    1) VS2005
    2) Compile your program
    3) Generate and Add-on Identifier
    4) Create a registration datafile
    5) Create the setup program consisting of your .EXE and the .ARD file
    6) Add-On is created and running in SBO
    Again ... the details on deploying and packaging your add-on can be found in the SAP Business One SDK Help Center Documentation and the SDK eLearning.
    Also, you can use B1DE using the Simple Installer or Professional Installer will do most of the work for you after you have coded the add-on.

  • DTW DI API for SAP Business One 2007 B (8.60.037)

    Hi Experts,
    I'm having problem uploading the chart of accounts using the Data Transfer Workbench (DTW).  it seems that the dtw uses the key "Code" but in the B1, maybe the "AcctCode" is used instead.  Thus error results it says "Invalid XML File65171.  I'm currently using the DTW 2005 DI API.  Could you give me link to the suitable DTW DI API tha would work with :    SAP Business One 2007 B (8.60.037)  .  What is the workaround
    Regards,
    Allan

    Dear Rakhi,
    Computability of any add-on with any version of SAP dependent on few things, Like what kind of Add-on this is?, What functionality it will customize? What tables of SAP will play there role in the development of Add-on?
    If you are planning to upgrade your system to 8.8 in near future than I would also recommend to first upgrade the system and than develop the Add-On.
    Thanks

  • Rounding in SAP Business One 2007

    Question on rounding for SAP B1 2007. I was wondering does anyone know the difference between rounding by currency compared to rounding by document.
    Also my customer changed the currency-rounding to 6 digits but now when  he prints the checks from outgoing payment it shows 6 trailing zero in the total and he really wants to do something about this. I know we cant round down but I was wondering is there any work around it.
    Thanks

    Hi Suda:
       I guess I already knew we couldnt round down the currency once its set. My customer was not convinced that the currency exchange rate at 4 decimals was doing justice since he works with different currency so instead of setting this at General setting-display tab he changed this at currency level.
    I was wondering is there anyway to supress the extra zero's like any function.

  • Running SAP Business One on a 64-bit server

    One of our clients wants to upgrade their server to a 64-bit server running Windows Server 2008.
    What are the implications of this and do we also need to then use Microsoft SQL Server 2008?
    I went to this web link: https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/smb/sbo/platforms and found some info, but the questions I still have is the following:
    1. If we upgrade to SQL 2008, do we have to buy licenses or can we also just get an installation from SAP with our software (if we've gone live over 2 years ago already on SQL 2000, then upgraded to SQL 2005).
    2. Can we still stay on SQL 2005 or is it better to use SQL 2008 and what is the implications?
    I found the following on the link posted above:
    Mar 11: SAP Business One 2007 now supports Microsoft® SQL Server 2008.
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is now fully supported by SAP Business One 2007 A (as of patch 47) and SAP Business One 2007 B (as of patch 10), including SAP-developed add-ons.
    Jan 21: SAP Business One 2007 now supports Microsoft® Windows Server 2008.
    Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is now fully supported by SAP Business One 2007 A (as of patch 46) and SAP Business One 2007 B (as of patch 09), including SAP-developed add-ons. 64-bit and WTS support are still pending and will be announced when available.
    What exactly does the bold part mean?
    Any tips/hints on making this decision will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Adele

    Hi Adele,
    "64-bit and WTS support are still pending and will be announced when available" means that Windows 2008 64bit has not been tested working with SAP Business One yet. Thus not supported (yet).
    Same applies to W indows T erminal S erver 32bit and 64bit.

    Yes, you can still stay on MSSQL 2005 and upgrade later to MSSQL 2008. The other way around will not work. MSSQL 2008 is currently supported only as of SAP Business One 2007 A PL47 or SAP Business One 2007 B PL10.

  • Hide and activate fields in SAP Business One

    Hi,
    How do I see the following in SAP Business one 2007 A?
    1 - Where do I see the option of hiding or making a filed mandatory, optional etc.? Can i hide some fields in A/P invoice entry? How do I do that?
    2 - How do I create a field or a column which will populate necessary details. For example..How do I create a column named amount in the A/P invoice so that it shows the corresponding amout of the invoice near the column named Invoice number?
    3 - How to access a particular column from a table structure? Do I need to write an SQL query for this?
    4 - How to pull up a field from a table and make is visible for the users? Do I need to be an ABAP expert for this?
    5 - What are stored procedures?
    Please let me know!! Thanks

    3 - How to access a particular column from a table structure? Do I need to write an SQL query for this?
    Try the link below:
    how do make link between query and UDF
    Yes, you write the query by going to Tools->Query Generator.
    You need to know the FMS number for the varialbe AMOUNT you created.
    You can know that by turning on debug info View->Ssystem Info, and then placing your cursor on AMOUNT. At the bottom left know its FMS variable number. There are multiple ways of dealing with.
    Use the above variable in the Query Generator with a $ sign. Save the query. General (some name)
    Then attach the above query to AMOUNT ShiftF2 and click to dril down to saved query and attach it. Choose the type refreshment.
    I am missing out on some small details, but you have to try it you will get there.

  • Upgrading sap business one version 800232 is not allowed

    Hi All
    I got this error when I tried to run an upgrade from SBO 2007A PL 42 to SBO 8.8 PL3.
    Any suggestions.
    Regards
    Bongani

    Dear Bongani,
    i found something for this Error i hope it help:
    Zusammenfassung
    Symptom
    In the connection setting step or database selection step, the following error dialog appears: "Upgrade SAP Business One from version xxx is not allowed. Contact your SAP business partner for support."
    Other terms
    Upgrade Wizard, Upgrade Path, Restriction
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Application error
    Due to the nature of development cycles, it takes some time for SAP Business One 8.8 to merge bug fixes from latest released install base patches. As a result, some upgrade paths are restricted in order to avoid data loss/duplicate upgrade in certain cases. For example: a bug fix is applied on 2007 A SP01 PL07 and merged with 8.8 PL05. If the database in 2007 A SP01 PL07 is upgraded to 8.8 PL04, the fix will be lost. In addition, there is a risk of data loss if the fix involves some metadata change. So 2007 A SP01 PL07 can only be merged with version 8.8 PL05 and higher.
    Solution
    SAP intends to provide a patch or patches in order to solve the problem described.
    The section Reference to Related Notes below will list the specific patches once they become available. The corresponding Info file of the patches in SAP Service Marketplace will also show the SAP Note number.
    Please note that these references can only be set at patch release date.
    SAP will deliver patches only for selected releases at its own discretion, based on the business impact and the complexity of the implementation.
    In addition to the bug fixes listed in this SAP Note, this patch contains also the bug fixes from:
    SAP Business One 2007 A SP01 PL06,
    SAP Business One 2007 B SP00 PL14.
    For more details, please see the SAP Notes under the "Related Notes" tab.
    IMPORTANT: Please note that if you are on a higher patch than the 2007A/2007B patch levels listed above and upgrades to 8.8, this may result in unexpected issues and potential data loss as the upgrade path is not supported yet.
    Best regards,
    Indira
