Windows Workflow Foundation and SAP Business One

Does anyone here have any experience creating Windows Workflow Foundation (.NET 3.5) activities and workflows that interact with SAP Business One?
A lot of examples in books show how easy it is to use workflows to write directly to a database, but we obviously cannot do that with SBO.
I am most interested in where to place the code to log into the DI-API and how to pass that connection to the individidual activities.
Thank you,
Mike

Michael,
This could be done with some work using the DI Server and Business One Web Services (B1WS). You can get more detail on B1WS from the Tools section of main SAP Business One page here on SDN ... although it does not go into WFS or WF.
In the future when eSOA services are delivered for SAP Business One ... you will see that WF can be used much more easily. This is an area that SAP is investigating ... keep a lookout on SDN!

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TALLY ERP AND SAP BUSINESS ONE

Hello Experts,
From where i can find the comparison between TAlly ERP and SAP business one ?

Tally 9.0
Accounting
. To fulfill legal requirements - records as per standards and practices
. To pay taxes to various bodies - statutory needs
. Keep the business running - manage receivables & payables, cash, bank...
. Keep a watch on the pulse of the organisation - key performance indicators
. Respond to queries - to locate the right transaction immediately
. With the entry of a voucher (this is what we call all accounting transactions) all books of accounts, all reports, all totals & sub-totals are updated instantly. There is nothing more that needs to be done - whether you are inserting a forgotten entry, or correcting one.
. Taxation requirements of all the states of India are available, in the prescribed formats.
. Supporting tasks like reminder letters, delayed interest, ageing, bank reconciliation.
. One single dashboard to look at all important business ratios.
. Drill down from any report, even the Balance Sheet, right to any voucher or filter and search.
. Data entry in the language of the users choice - and report in any other language (from the languages supported).
. Mark vouchers that are draft as 'optional' and convert these to final- with one button click
Financial Management & Controls
Tally.ERP 9 comes with rich features & financial reports that give you the necessary management and control of your business. A few of these are listed below:
u2022 Funds Flow & Cash Flow reports - help you locate bottlenecks
u2022 Bank reconciliation - keeps your bank books in sync, and identify unclear instruments
u2022 Customer Credit Limits - to limit risk of default and large losses
u2022 Budgets - keep tabs on projected expenses against actuals
u2022 Mark vouchers post dated - these will reflect into the books of accounts only on/after that date
u2022 For needs where reports have to consider a transaction that has not happened (say salaries for this month that get paid the next month) vouchers (called 'reversing journals') can be marked to 'disappear' for reports post a specific date
u2022 "Scenario" management - helps you with your business forecasting and planning. You can use optional, reversing journals and memorandum vouchers, to aid in recording provisional entries that are useful for interim reports
u2022 Multiple inventory valuation. You can decide one valuation method for the business, and be able generate financial reports using any other valuation method - as the  statutory method may not be appropriate for your needs, your bankers and for other decisions
u2022 Cash balances can go negative - you can get warned if this is about to happen, or see reports and make the necessary corrections
u2022 Several business exceptions are available (negative stocks, negative ledgers) - for
you to exercise control over these activities
u2022 A one-screen business ratios with drill down right up to the transactions - help you to correct course frequently u2022 Item wise & document wise profitability statements to control revenue leakage and inappropriate pricing
u2022 Internal audits are supported with audit controls - authorised users can mark vouchers as 'audited' and can get to see reports on changes made post audit, and the name of the person making the change
Inventory Accounting & Management
If you deal in goods, of any type, you'll appreciate the Inventory capabilities in Tally.ERP 9.
You can comprehensively record all types of inventory transactions, using goods receipt notes, delivery notes, stock journals, manufacturing journals and physical stock journals. All stock movements are fully recorded and maintained in stock registers.
Developed for all manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers or traders a small list of features are briefly described below:
Manufacturers:
. Bill of materials and Manufacturing Journals, to record material conversions
. Compound bill of materials support, for units that contain assemblies
. Multiple locations (godowns)
. Excise for manufacturers, including all documentation and invoice
. Costing for jobs
Distributors & Wholesalers:
. Multiple price lists, with effective dates of applicability
. Use multiple units of measure (say KG's & grams)
. Dual units of measure (say KG's and bags, to support variations as happens in commodities)
Traders:
. High speed billing, with support for POS printers
. Bar code support
. Automatic application of taxes
. Service billing & service tax
. Integrated sales return in bills
. Print bills (and any other document) in the customers language
Common:
. You can choose to de-link the computed inventory value to automatically appear in
   your financial statements - and enter this figure manually.
. Stock ageing reports, to identify slow and non-moving stocks
. Invoice profitability reports to keep a pulse on sales
. Multi-currency transactions - buy and sell across the world - with integrated forex  gain/loss calculations
. Physical stock take records to adjust physical vs. actual stocks
. Maintain batch & expiry details
Purchases & Payables: from Order to Payment
Tally.ERP 9 delivers the entire purchase cycle whether the need is the complete purchase order - goods receipt - rejections & returns - advances, debits & payments or a single payment entry, fulfilling all needs.
To ensure that you have the right stocks and minimize carrying costs, Tally.ERP 9 delivers the following to improve purchase orders:
. Define Re-order levels as a definite number or based on consumption
. Define minimum quantity to order as a definite number or based on consumption
. Pull up a report that shows the stock position, including complete details of open purchaseorders, sales orders that need to be fulfilled - check on past purchase history, and then place orders
. Optionally stagger delivery dates in the PO
When receiving goods:
. Make entries in accordance with supporting documentation, including errors your suppliers could have made (say of multiplication & round off)
. Incorporate additional costs
. Automatically manage input taxes
. Flexibility allows receipt of goods, quantities and rates different from that ordered - since this is common in real life
. Record samples & free items (using different 'actual' & 'billed' quantities)
. Multiple receipts for one order or one receipt for multiple orders, or against verbal ordersIn case there is a need to add other costs (say coolie and cartage) these additional charges can be apportioned to the cost of goods purchased.
Supplied goods may not match your needs and these are managed by the 'Rejections Out' inventory voucher. Supplier dues, input taxes and inventory positions are updated.
Suppliers often indicate likely profits, which may not be met. In case such assurances are made, you can look at Item profitability reports, and get the facts right. You could then negotiate a rebate and record this as a debit note.
Keep tabs of how much is due to whom, when. Manage advances, payables & post dated checks. Ensure there are no errors in payments - print checks from Tally.ERP 9.
Sales & Receivables: from Order to Receipt
The lifeline of a business, efficiencies in sales operations, both of goods & services, directly impact growth and profitability. The need to optimise and keep a close watch here requires exceptional capabilities from your business IT system - and Tally.ERP 9 meets these demands.
The sales process is supported with the following documents:
. Quotations - records of quotes
. Sales orders - accepted customer orders
. Deliver Notes - documents that accompany goods
. Sales Invoices/Cash Bill - to record the sale
. Credit Notes - for financial adjustments
. Rejections in - for goods returns
. Receipts - for advances and receipts
Do you have cash sales (sales across the counter)? With support for Point of Sale printers, bar codes and receipts in multiple tenders, you POS enable your business at no additional cost. Product sales may come with added services - and the integrated product & service billing will close this.
Enforce credit limits, where needed. Along with the Payment Performance of Debtors report you can identify persistent problems and take necessary business decisions. Interest for delays & reminder letters aid in collection.
For businesses engaged in Excisable goods, you get full support for Excise for Traders & Manufacturing Excise - matter of fact a business could be both!
Make multiple deliveries from one order, or one from multiple orders - this common need is available across all documents of the sales process.
Do you have multiple classes of customers? You can easily setup multiple prices (even in advance and specify the date from which they are effective).
Discounts against the line, or for the document, additional charges as a percentage or lump sum, automatic round off of bill totals, automatic computation of VAT & Service tax, returns & exchanges are all available.Need to verify that you are making the desired sales margins? Item wise and bill wise profitability reports will help you keep tabs.
Multi-company
Security: With multiple companies, possibly including personal accounts, you may need to control who gets access to which companies, and to do what. You can set up users, grant or deny access - and these are defined for each company.
Remote Access: You choose to specify which company is accessible remotely. You choose which remote users have access; you decide what access a remote user gets.
Central User Management: Users come and go. You might also have a password policy requiring users to change passwords every few weeks. You can take advantage of the ease of central user and password management that Tally.NET identities carry - and even remotely manage these while not in office.

What is Series B
This Series will deliver major enhancements both in entirely new areas of functionality as well as in technology capabilities.
Technology & Capability Enhancements
Multi-session
Support for multiple application windows, which can even be launched by clicking on a mail link or a 'shortcut., Each of these are simultaneous 'windows' into different areas of your business processes & reports. Dynamic data refresh and the display of different views when resizing - for e.g. smaller windows displaying a more consolidated view of data, will improve organizational management and productivity.
Multi-threaded
A 'thread' is a specific task that is being performed by the microprocessor. Enhanced capabilities will be enabled such that each application window can perform more tasks simultaneously instead of linearly, including processing messages from the server. Multi-core processors, even on the desktop, are now common. We will take full advantage of these as well.
Multi Stack Architecture for Scale-up & Scale-down Deployments
To deliver the capabilities described above, and the ones that follow, Tally.ERP 9 will become 'componentised' - consisting of several layers of programs - often referred to as 'n-tier architecture'.
These software components are horizontally scalable, meaning that you can add one more computer to increase the computing power needed for a layer. In the same way, you can remove systems as needed, or collapse them into a single system - all of them even on a notebook, if required.
High Transaction Capacity with Low Latency & Management
Let us say that you start generating a report that needs to be extracted from a few thousand vouchers. This process is run in a 'session', which is isolated from all other users. Even if other users delete or modify any of the vouchers needed for the report while the report is being compiled, there is no impact on this session and you will get to see the report as if these other users did not exist.
In the same way, the user performing the edit will also be isolated. After the edit, he can open the voucher and see it with the changes he made, perhaps even delete it.
The architecture described above will in itself deliver substantial performance and transaction handling capacity. To push performance further in those cases when the storage media (typically the hard disk) is busy with other operations, additional capabilities will store these transactions 'temporarily' in a 'Q' for later write, while the user is free to continue his work (these transactions are protected against power failures and so on).
Payment Engine for Debit & Credit Cards
The facility for online payments using a variety of payment mechanisms (NEFT, online banking, credit cards), as well as receive payments (Debit / Credit Cards, NEFT etc) will be available.
Functional Enhancements
Online Banking and Reconciliation
Collaborating with Banks who wish to facilitate their customers with this capability, we will provide Online Banking - including Payment Instructions, Standing Instructions, DD, NEFT,RTGS Transfers, Balance Queries, Instruction Status, Automated or Semi-Automated Bank Reconciliation.
Point-of-Sale for most Retail Environments
Series B will support dedicated POS terminals, with Credit/Debit Card, Discount Coupons and various other payment mixes, Loyalty support, schemes, multi-layered supervisory control, simultaneous keyboard and scanner controls, integrated or isolated printing of bill and credit card authorisation slips, item substitution, rate markup/markdowns, integration with measuring devices - such as weighing scales, bill suspension and retrieval, bill reversals and cancellations, etc. It can also be used for other store operations (receipting, inventory management etc), and general business operations (finance and accounts) - both on the same machine or separate machines.
Income Tax
Comprehensive IT coverage encompassing corporate & individual income tax, including typical payroll requirements and e-Returns will be available.
EXIM Documentation
Import & export documentation has become a growing need with the world economy becoming more open. This requirement will be supported, additionally covering the processes that need to be managed along with the documentation.
Job Costing
The enhanced Job Costing functionality will support most job costing needs to a level of granularity that is increasingly needed. We expect that you will be able to handle most, if not all, project accounting needs as well.
Fixed Assets
To take advantage of tax breaks as well as to manage organizational assets, this feature will support all requirements - from opening assets, adding, removing, amalgamating, grouping, vendor tagging, AMC's, servicing, service calendars, repairs and upkeep, refurbishing, breaking-down, depreciating and disposal for complete fixed asset management.

Cannot start widget - Ensure that SAP Business One Integration Service and SAP Business One Event Sender Service have been started

Dear Experts .
I'm trying to enable widget for my company db but getting the following error :
Ensure that SAP Business One Integration Service and SAP Business One Event Sender Service have been started; then wait 1 minute and try again
I can connect to the B1iF locally and remotely .
I have the db configured in the SLD and connects successfully .
I have the event sender service and proxy started and configured for the company db.
I can access the Dashboard web portal and login with database sap credentials (but I see nothing there)
I've checked that there are no duplicate entries in the SSLD table for SBO common (note : 1619422)
I've also tried to re-activate the xelcious from the B1iF->control.
My Setup :
I'm runing SBO server, B1iF installed locally and B1iSN installed on a 3rd party server.
I'm using B1iF as even forwarder for B1iSN.
I know this has been discussed many times through out the forum and I've tried most of the stuff other than clean install.
I would appreciate any input before removing B1iF completely and re-installing.
Thanks in advance ,
Nadav.

Windows 2008 Server R2 & SAP Business One

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with SAP Business One and Terminal Service on Windows 2008 Server R2? We are finding a number of issues with this configuration and we are looking for any feedback that is out there.
Here is the situation - our customer is running SAP Business One v2007 SP01 PL09 Hotfix4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine. All users (15 max) access SBO via Terminal Service to this machine, which also holds the databases (SQL Server 2005). The machine currently has 20GB of RAM.
What we are finding is:
1) When any process related to SBO (SBO core or add-ons) consumes some portion of memory, none of that memory is ever released back to the O/S until SBO is completely closed. So over the course of a day each user ends up simply consuming more and more memory as forms are opened for transactions. While we do see this in Windows 2003 Server to some extent, at least some memory is released when a given form is closed.
2) Once the system hits a point where around 75% of RAM is consumed the users start seeing application "hangs" and are forced to manually terminate SBO (via Task Manager) and restart. There doesn't seem to be any paging or use of virtual memory (if my terms are right) in use.
3) If the system is busy and a new window/form is opened the new window immediately (within one or two seconds) presents the "Not Responding" message on the new window. Depending on the circumstances the application is simply waiting for resources and will continue opening normally.
I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has experience with Windows 2008 Server R2; and especially using it for Terminal Services. My personal feeling is that it is a platform that should be avoided but we would certainly like to hear what other folks have to say.
Regards,
Ross Unger

Licensing Costs for SAP and SAP Business One

Hi,
I have to make an analysis for my boss.
Does anyone know in general how the licensing works for SAP ERP and Netweaver solutions and for Business One ?
I am not getting the information I need from SAP's website.
I have been told the outline price on the ERP side is 4500U$D per seat/user per year. Is that a flat rate and then you can install as many sandbox, dev, test, prod systems and you like ? Or do you also have to pay a license fee for all of the installed systems in your landscape ?
And how much does the licensing for SAP One cost and how does it work ?
Thanks,
Petr.

Hi Petr,
SAP softwares are not like any other buy n use softwares like winamp.
SAP delivers its solutions only through authorized partners.
First thing is you need to contact the Implementation partners for the respective softwares.They will give you a quote after studying your business scenario.
Here is the link for finding a SAP partner in your region.
<a href="http://www.sap.com/partners/index.epx">SAP Partners</a>
$4500/user? Yes it is around that range for SAP Business One. But definetly it will be much higher for SAP ERP.
Thanks

POS systems and SAP Business One

Does anyone know of any Point-of-sale (POS) systems that can work together with our SAP Business one application in retail stores.
Please can you advise us on our available POS options with SAP Business One for retail stores.
Also would there be a need to buy additional SAP licences for users with this solution or can there be a savings there?

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.

Re-installing SAP Business One

After removing and re-installing SQL Server 2005 and SAP Business One 2005 SP01 with no problems or error-messages I try to install SAP Business One 2005 SP01 again and get to the Installation screen with text:
"One of the following must be successfully installed prior to installation of Business One:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP3
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.5.3 GA
IBM DB2 Universal Database 8.2.2 FP5 Express Edition
Server"
and cannot select Typical for installation on my notebook.
It seems that SAP assumes that the SAP Server software has been installed and the SQL Server has not been installed, while the Software list on the Configuration screen mentions the SQL Server, but does not mention the installation of the SAP Business One Server software.
How can I correct this situation? A remove and re-install does not change anything.

1) Do you still have the "SQL Server Agent (Agent XPs disabled)" error ?
2) Are you sure you installed SQL in the default instance and not a named instance ?
If SQL Server found another instance already on the computer it will not install with the default instance but with a named instance.
The named instance can be accessed by following "\name_of_the_instance" after the computer name, but not only the computer name.
To be sure, you can see the installed instances by reading the content of "InstalledInstances" in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\
(use regedit)
3) Have you ever used a firewall that you uninstalled ou kill not cleanly ?
For example, if you autorize sqlserver.exe in ZoneAlarm, then disabled the start of zonealarm, your sqlserver.exe can be accessed but if you reinstall it, the new sqlserver.exe will not. The only way is then to restart zonealarm and autorize the new sqlserver.exe
4) Have you tried to make an ODBC connection to your SQL Server ?
5) Have you tried to choose "sql server" instead of "sql server 2005" when installing Business One ?

How to run SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows and use MaxDB on linux/W

Good day,
As the subject shows we have SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 and I want to find out how to use it in combination with MaxDB instead of MS SQL. I find a lot of MaxDB stuff on the net but no guides on how to setup SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows workstations and connect them to MaxDB.
Is this possible and if so how do I go about doing it ?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated .

Hi,
I suggest you to check the supported server for B1 in this link:
http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/platforms
You will know the sap b1 supported platform.
If you really want to use maxDB on linux/W as B1 server, you can send a development request to SAP AG.

Trying to install SAP Business One 8.8 on a clean Windows 7 professional pc

Hi, i am trying to install SAP Business One V 8.8 on a clean Windows 7 professional laptop. I need to install the server and client sides. I have already installed SQL server express 2005.
When i try to to install the server software I get the error message 1628 installation failed almost straight away. I ket the same message if I try and install the server tools, SBo server or outlook integration.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Simon

Hi Simon,
Solution to Problem ID :1618
Try the following Steps :
1. Clear the 'Temporary' Folder of Windows 7 : Start ->Run->%temp%->Press 'Enter'->Select All & Delete
2. Restart your machine. (This is Must)
Actually it keeps an image of the previous installations, so always for re-installation you need to perform this steps.
Same is with Win 2008 Server editions also.
Now proceed with the installation and remember always run SBO installations in Windows 7 and 2008 Server by clicking on 'Run as Administrator'
Hope your problem would be solved.
