What is Business one ?

Hi Guys,
I am basically PI developer and our company is planning to use the business one. Can somebody give an over view of this product.
For what purpouse it is used and what are the skills required to work on this ?
any links or suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Raj

I believe the difference between two systems are more than similarity. Check the SAP documentation:
u2022 SAP Business One is the right solution for smaller businesses, typically with
fewer than 100 employees and 50 users, that are looking for a single system to
cover their basic needs.
u2022 SAP Business ByDesign is the right solution for midsize companies that are focused
on improving common cross-industry processes while minimizing their IT
costs and resources. For these customers, SAP Business ByDesign combines
the benefits of integrated, end-to-end business applications with the low risk and
low total cost of ownership of a u201Csoftware as a serviceu201D solution.

What is business one ? how is it different from sap R/3,?

Does B1 needs special expertise in SAP ?can an R/3 consultant run the transactions and customisations in B1 with ease ?please answer my queries.
REGARDS
Sunkari

hi vinod,
Some of difference between SAP B1 vs SAP R/3,
1.SAP Business One is SAP's offering for small and mid size companies, while R/3 is SAP's offering for large companies.
2.SAP Business One is a software that was bought over by SAP and it has been greatly enhanced over time,
SAP R/3 is indigenous to SAP and it has also undergone various re-engineering over time.Example: SAP ECC.
3. SAP Business One and SAP R/3 are built on the concept of client/server architecture,.SAP Business One(2-tier) client/server architecture,SAP R/3 is based on a three tier/n-tier client/server architecture.

Many in the forum overlook for possible defects though of low priority. Opening defects ensures they get considered for future releases and makes the product so much better.

What is meant by an Activity in Business One

Hi All,
What is meant by an Activity in Business One.I studied it in Business One Help,but it is not much helpful.I want a brief description regarding Activities(help me by taking an example).Where this activity used(only in Sales Opportunities and Service modules).
Help me regarding this or send me the related links that suit to my Question
Thanks & Regards,
Saleem

Maybe I don't understand your question, but I think this is no a SDK issue.
An activity can be a call, a meeting, a task, any interaction with a customer that you want to keep record.
So, lets say you have a sales opprotunity, and in the first meeting you came up with a follow up meeting. Then, you open the sales opportunity in SAP, and add an activity for that opportunity, detailing when, where is the meeting, who will go,what do you have to show, etc. You can set a reminder so you don't miss this meeting.
Hope this helps
Harold

What is the biggest SAP Business One database you have ever seen?

Hi All
I'm trying to determine what capabilities of how big a SAP Business One database can become without it becomming to slow to work with... The reason for this question is that have a customer with a database of 27GB ... The customer have only been in production for one year, but because they roughly place 1500 sales orders each day the growth rate is big...
So the question is simple how many GB is your largest customer and how does the system manage?

Hi Rasmus,
I'd agree with the above, the overall size isn't as important as the hardware that they are using. I've seen a 75GB database system which was suffering badly because they hadn't specc'd the disk I/O correctly although memory and CPU were fine (we didn't spec this, it was a site we were called in to help on when they started having issues). Of course, a larger database is going to have other issues (eg backup and restore times, patch upgrade times etc) and you'd probably want to be more proactive on database maintenance than on a smaller database (eg you don't want to have autogrow kicking in during the day so you'd need to make sure that there is sufficient space in the database at all times).
If you are concerned about database size then one option is to clear the history tables. This can reduce the database up to 50% but, of course, you'll lose the change history.
Database archiving is still rumoured to be coming out in the next version.
Kind Regards,
Owen

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

Hi,
We have encountered the following issue.
Using the SAP mobile application (version 1.1.3 (Android) - 1.9.6 iOS)), we connect successfully to database but when we try to open the Business Partners and Items, a "No Data" message appears.
If I insert a BP in mobile, the SAP Business One show these BP that I insert, but in the App I have the message "No data".
What could be causing that?
Thank you everyone

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.

( 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;

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...

Crystal Reports Dynamic Parameters with SAP Business One

Okay, I've got this very strange issue with dynamic parameters in Crystal Reports connected to SAP Business One.
Let's start with the software versions:
- Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601
- SAP Business One 8.8 (8.80.231) SP: 00 PL: 13
- Windows XP SP3
(SBO Server on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005)
What I'm about to describe is something I've tried in several reports and for which I created a very, very simple test report to see if it was reproducible in a very simple situation.
- I connected to a Business One server through CR's SBO connection type. Logon is successful, tables are shown.
- I pick OCRD and plac CardCode and CardName in the details section on the report. Previewing the report shows data.
- I create a dynamic parameter on CardCode and in the Select Expert I select the CardCode field and define that that should be equal to the parameter.
- I preview the report again. Now it asks me in such a parameter screen for logon credentials. It shows the server and database it tries to connect to and in the username it shows the SQL Server username I used to connect to the SQL Server in the first place. However, the password for that user is not accepted. I also tried to login with the Windows administrator user and with the SBO manager user, but no success with any attempt.
I also tried to add a static parameter and add all database values to the list. Same screen, different result:
Crystal Reports 2008 wrote:
Logon Failed.
Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT:
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. (rptcontrollers.dll)
(On a side note: the report is saved as report1.rpt)
Anyone else got similar issues and found a solution?

Hi,
When you have fixed your crystal installation following the note posted earlier, please take a look at the [how to guide|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000882232009E.pdf] and also at the [e-learning|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700001370262010E] about SAP Business One 8.8 and Crystal Reports.
There are so called "tokens" which you need to use instead of dynamic parameters.
Dynamic paramters don't work in SAP Business One 8.8, if they are not defined as a static paramter with token.
Best regards,
Darius

Crystal Reports background processing for SAP Business One 8.8

Dear Partners,
I have an SDK program developed in SAP Business One SDK that works in 2007, it calls crystal reports externally and can be executed as a background task using the windows schedular or from the command prompt.
My problem is it does not work under SAP Business One SDK 2008 PL18 with SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008.
I receive the following message after this line in my code,"oReport.PrintToPrinter(CopyNo, False, 0, 0)".
'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LogOnException: Logon failed.

   at BGProductionRpt.ECR_Common.ECR_PrintReport(Int32 CopyNo) in C:\SDK Development\8.8\test\XX_Rpt\ECR_Common.vb:line 485'
My Question is what Crystal Reports libraries or other method should I be using ?
Crystal Reports 2008 for SAP Business One eg. 51038978.zip - downloaded from portal obviously dosn't contain the CrystalDecisions libraries.
Crystall Reports 2008 - cr2008_sp3_fullbuild, cr2008fp33.exe, cr2008fp33_mm, cr2008fp33_clickonce - also download from the portal, the cr2008_sp3_fullbuild does contain the crystal decisions libraries.
Finally other choices are crystal reports included with the visual studio 2008 and crystal reports full version direct from Business Objects.
I have tried different versions of crystal decision libraries- eg, 12.0110 or 12.02 but still no joy.
Also if I manage to get the report to fire what should the client be running eg, if they have the Crystal Reports 2008 for Business One do they also need to install the Crystal Reports Run time - cr2008fp33_clickonce.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi John
Since the SDK works in 2007 it will be using the OLD DB access method.
Change the Crystal report to use an OLE DB datasource rather than the SAP Business One data source.

Rob
