SAP Business One vs. "Regular SAP"

I am a user of SAP Business One. I have an opportunity to help with a conversion from Lawson software to the "regular" version of SAP. By this I mean the version of SAP used by large companies. Is there any similarity between the two SAP's from a user standpoint? Keep in mind I am not a programmer only a user.

Hi,
Please refer threads:

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

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

Installation of SAP Business One client and required administration rights

Dear community,
I would like to kindly ask you for your feedback on the installation of SAP Business One client and its patches on end-user computers.
The pain points I have heard so far are the following:
- The installation of SAP Business One client and its patches has to be started by a user with administrator rights. As far as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong), this is also required in case of installation of any other software.
- End users usually do not have administrator rights and therefore the SAP Business One clients have to be manually upgraded by administrator. This is time consuming (and therefore costly) activity.
We are considering to design a new solution which would overcome the above limitations.
I would like to confirm with you if my understanding is correct:
Question 1:
Is it a common situation that the end-users of SAP Business One client do not have administrator rights and therefore cannot install the patches of SAP Business One client by themselves?
If yes, how do you resolve this currently?
Question 2:
Do you use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager or Active Directory (or any other 3rd party solution) to automatically distribute software packages and updates to client PCs at your customers?
Question 3:
If the SAP Business One client installation (and its patches) is delivered as MSI package with silent installation capability, would you be able to automate the deployment of B1 client updates to client PC using the abovementioned technologies? Or can you still see some obstacles?
Thank you
Best regards
Jan Ruzarovsky
SAP Business One Product Management

Dear all,
Thank you very much for your comments, very helpful!
@Marco - SAP Business One 8.8 client currently does not support the silent installation / upgrade. However we are currently considering this requirement and we would like to deliver it as soon as possible.
We are currently considering several possible designs. One of them is as follows:
1. A new SAP Business One Updater Service will be installed on each client workstation.
It will be a windows service installed and running under a local system account.
2. The updater service will check regularly if there are any new patches of SAP Business One client or add-ons uploaded to a configured shared directory.
3. If a new patch is found in the shared directory, the updater service will SILENTLY install the new patch (add-ons, SAP Business One) on the client workstation.
The service would be able to install patches even if nobody is logged in.
Questions:
If we consider the above design, there are a few open topics:
1. During the upgrade of the SAP Business One server, the client patches (and SAP add-on patches, partner add-ons) would be placed to a SHARED directory instead of into SBO-Common (as it is implemented currently).
- Does this have any impact on your tools, processes or add-ons?
2. SAP Business One upgrade wizard will put the latest patch of SAP Business One client into a configured shared directory. The shared directory will have to be read-only for everybody in the network to avoid that the valid installation files are replaced by malware or virus infected files
- Can you configure such a shared directory?
From customer perspective, if a new patch is put into the shared directory, the updater service can behave as follows:
1. Manually initiated upgrade of the client
Example: Customer starts the old (not upgraded) SAP Business One client. The client will inform him/her that a new patch has been found and it has to be installed in order to continue working with the client. After customer clicks "Yes", the upgrader service starts the silent installation of the client and informs customer about the progress. Once the upgrade is finished, the upgraded SAP Business One client will be started automatically.
2. Automatic update:
- Update the client automatically (e.g. overnight) if customer is not working with SAP Business One
- If SAP Business One client is running, ask customer if he/she wishes to upgrade the client now or to delay the upgrade by X minutes.
Question: Which of the above two scenarios would you and your customers prefer?
If the upgrade is fully silent, automated and handled by the upgrader service, Is it acceptable for customers to trigger the installation manually and wait till the client is upgraded? Or would they prefer to have the client updated for them e.g. overnight so they can immediately start to work?
Best regards

Know more detail about the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One ?

SAP Business One 9.1 is about to release this year and we can see in the feature enhancements that a significant update is planned in the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One, more commonly known as RSP. Let’s have a quick look what update is planned for RSP in version 9.1:
Enhancements planned in Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One 9.1
RSP is planned to support both SAP Business One on Microsoft SQL Server as well as SAP Business One on HANA Database
RSP Processes and Reports adapted to SAP HANA Database
With this plan RSP will help in the areas of Download, Installation, Go-Live Check, Monitoring, Upgrade and Support for SAP Business One both   on SQL Server and HANA.
But like me (non-SAP B1 Consultant) many of you have the question what is RSP and how it helps in support? Here I have tried to gather all information.
What is Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One?
The remote support platform for SAP Business One is designed to protect a SAP Business One installation by providing automated and remote support in a high-volume business.
The platform monitors the entire SAP Business One environment. By significantly reducing the time between the appearance, identification, and resolution of issues, the remote support platform for SAP Business One minimizes the impact on customer databases and processes.
Some Key Features of Remote Support Platform:
Showing alerts to SAP B1 Admin about the events which require their attention, such as low disk space, database backups, etc.
Incident Reports against the issues identified which require attention of SAP Support
Company Database Backup and Restore options
Regular fixes of Company Database inconsistencies
Check, Download and Install regular updates in SAP Business One
Upload Logs and required files to SAP Support or to Partner Support on regular basis
Some details about RSP Backup Management
Schedule daily, weekly, and monthly backups
Perform differential and full database backups
Back up transaction logs
Back up files to shared folders on a network
System Status Report through RSP
From June 1st 2013, it will be mandatory to install, configure and upload the System Status Report (SSR) from Remote Support Platform (RSP) for SAP Business One in order to receive support for messages of a technical nature (upgrades, performance & crashes, etc).
Database uploads only via RSP
From June 1st 2013 SAP Business One Support will only accept database uploads to SAP via remote support platform for SAP Business One. In certain exceptional circumstances STFP may be used but this will constitute a minority of cases.
Microsoft Windows PowerShell Scripting
In the remote support platform studio, you can create tasks using Microsoft Windows PowerShell scripting. PowerShell enables you to perform remote administrative tasks on customers’ Microsoft Windows operating systems, by providing full access to Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).Some Network Prerequisite for RSP
To achieve the internet connection test, you must allow port 80 for the RSP external communication
Disabling antivirus firewall or add the RSP to the trusted zone of the antivirus
Set the correct proxy
Disabling Windows firewall in the TP_link Wireless Configuration Utility

Material transfer from SAP R/3 to SAP Business One is blocked

Hello experts,
Please I need your help for the following scenario:
Our client has B1iSN and SAP R/3 in the headquarter company and B1if and SAP B1 in the subsidiary. The material transfer from SAP R/3 to SAP Business One failed and the following message is diplayed:
Result message :
com.sap.b1i.xcellerator.XcelleratorException: XCE001 Nested exception: com.sap.b1i.bizprocessor.BizProcException: BPE001 Nested exception: com.sap.b1i.xcellerator.XcelleratorException: XCE001 Nested exception: com.sap.b1i.xcellerator.XcelleratorException: XCE001 Nested exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: DI Error: (-2028) No matching records found (ODBC -2028)
The Material database transfer is blocked due to message in status
failure which block all other messages.
We tried to restart the server (Business One and B1iSN) but it didnu2019t solve the issue.
Any idea please? Thank you.

Hi Nadia,
did you check the WRITE-POLICY settings of your scenario?
when reading the displayed DI Error message, it looks like B1iSN is trying to update an B1 item which does not exists.
Please open SAP B1iSN Tools -> Development Tools -> Graphical scenario Design and select your Bizpackage, BizStep and BIUMETA.
Open the WRITE-POLICY symbol and check the entries:
Insert on Exist = error or fallback2U
Update on Miss = fallback2I
The Update Policy should stay to value regular.
To activate changes of the WRITE-POLICY please deactivate, modify and reactivate your Business Process instance.
If a WRITE-POLICY change has no effect, please check your data mapping (BIU) and especially the parameter <QueryParams>, which mustn't be filled for "insert/Add" operations into B1.
Best regards
Bastian

Creation of Add-on package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One Client

Please help me creating package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One. If Add-on executable is compiled with x86 option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 32 bit SAP Business one and if Add-on executable is compiled with Any CPU option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 64 bit SAP Business one. Problems are mentioned as below
1. My Add-on uses MS ACCESS connection and the connection is read using Jet OLEDB 4.0 provider. It works fine for x86 compile mode but not when compile mode is Any CPU. I searched for the issue on Google and found a solution to change MS ACCESS connection provider to ACE.OLEDB.12.0 but again ACE provider is installed according to the Office version i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit office suite. If I install 32 bit ACE provider then Add-on executable compiled with x86 version is working fine but with Any CPU option throws error as provider is not registered on current machine.
2. Secodly, our license validation activex dll is build using vb 6.0 and therefore when Add-on executable is compiled using Any CPU option, Add-on EXE cannot read from license dll. Any suggestion, how the activeX dll can be compiled whose component can be created from for X86 compiled exe and any cpu compiled exe.
Please help because we are stuck in this issue and cannot move forward.
Thanks.

Hi Alejandro,
That is one solution but did your add on used ms access connection? if you used Jet oledb to connection string or ace oledb connection string? what if 32 bit office is installed and what if 64 office is installed? how did you found the office version in install script? after determining the office version how did you installed Microsoft redistributable for ace oledb (32 bit or 64 bi )?
I am sorry that I asked many questions but these are the problems where I am stuck with the addon installer?
Thanks

Imposto retido na fonte (SAP Business One 2007B)

Pessoal,
gostaria de saber como funciona a cumulatividade de imposto retido no SAP Business One 2007B no Módulo de Vendas C/R?
Preciso saber qual a melhor forma de fazer esse tipo de nota fiscal? Qual o melhor processo?
Abraço,
Marcelo.

Olá Marcelo...
Voce pode ser mais especific com situação real que voce está vivendo???
Tenho trabalhado com NF de Serviços e talvez possa te ajudar!!!
Em relação a cumulatividade, o SAP tem um campo nas configuração de detalhes da empresa, só que não há nenhuma documentção que prove o funcionamento deste parametro e a qual dos IRF ele está ligado.
Estou estudando uma maneira de fazer isso via conta contabil transitoria individual para cada tipo de IRF em conjunto com a rotina de Alertas, para monitorar os saldos acumulados das contas...
Atenciosamente,
Wagner

Addon not loading - B1 Usability Package for all users in SAP Business One

Hello, I am a new admin to SAP B1 and am about to go live in a few weeks. We are running SAP Business One v. 8.80.227.
Envirorment details: Dedicated server for SAP database, and Terminal Server for remote connections.
I have a demo group of users in Active Directory that have permission to Remote Desktop to the TS and load SAP. For now, theses users are local admins on the TS. ( Permissions to be revised once addon issues are worked out ). I am the companies tech, and we have a SAP implementation company leading the project development.
Currently the addons that we are running are CRSB1Addon SAP 8.8 and B1UP from boyumit.
For one of the users in the Active Directory Security Group all the addon's work great. However the other users get the error below;
When logging in the system message window shows the following:
Failed to assign SAP Business One user license to SAP Add-ons. The Add on is configured to automatically load on startup, yet once I get the error, I open the Add on Manager and I don't see the B1UP in either tab at all.

hello Ken - Boyum IT has its own License Administration - path of Administration > Add Ons > B1 Usability Package > License Administration...
Do all of the users have a checkmark to give them access???
When a user has only the Main Menu window open, select the "Form Settings" icon and follow the same path on the Form Settings window that is diplayed and make sure they have checkmarks next to the B1 Usability Package to be "Visible".
Are all of the user set to display Boyum IT on their machines???
LOL - I am not technical so I have no idea what that other stuff means...
Hope that helps...

    How can i slove this problem?Thanks for your help.

Hi David,
I also seek help for the dashboards, no doubt its matter of practise but like we are facing the problems where we have to map our query structure with Excel sheet.
like I'm facing a problem where my Query accepts two parameters in SAP B1.
In Xcelsius I mapped almost everything and these two parameters are accumulated by 2 combo's but when I make a XML data connection and use trigger cell option , it just takes one combo into consideration.
Expected result is : If I change the value in any of the combo then it shud reflect results accrodingly
Actual result : if I change the value of 2nd combo it doesn't reflect the changes until I select the value from first combo again.
Any inputs will be really very much appreciated.
Regards
