SAP Business One 10 – Management
The eagerly awaited SAP Business One 10.0 is packed with exciting features and platform enhancements. We continue to explore the improvements it offers to users worldwide in our Innovations Series. In this article, we focus on the highlights and benefits of the Administration feature upgrades.
SAP Business One 10.0 Administration Module
The Administration module stands out with features that enhance efficiency, control, and visibility in your business, offering a series of enrichments.
Printing Preferences
You can print, mail, and export service calls and contracts to PDF immediately after creation. This feature enhances printing capabilities. Document printing selection criteria have been enriched with additional options such as table sorting and filtering based on document type, allowing you to optimize bulk printing.
Reference Documents
The scope of reference documents in SAP Business One modules has been expanded. Payment, Purchase Request, Goods Receipt, Inventory Transfer Request, and Inventory Transfer Confirmation documents can now be referenced, and automatically referenced documents can be created from valid marketing documents. Duplicate entries can refer to a single document. In addition, the number of referenced documents is visible, and users can easily access the list of referenced documents sorted by module.
Attachments Tab
The new version allows easier management of attached documents and configuration of system behavior. The attachments tab is now available in functions such as Inventory Opening Balance, Inventory Counting, Inventory Posting, Incoming Payments, Outgoing Payments, Production Order, and Timesheet.
Support End Date
A support information field has been added to the About SAP Business One window. The displayed support expiration period provides all the necessary information on a single screen.
Field Lengths
Customer Group Name and Supplier Group Name can contain up to 100 characters, and Item Group Name also supports 100 characters. SAP Business One 10.0 provides greater flexibility for entered values and ensures the standardization of product field definitions.
Approval Process
Version 10 improves control over the approval process by allowing authorizers to update pending document drafts. Approval procedures are simplified and become more flexible; the form containing Last Update Date and Last Update Time fields now also includes Updated Draft, Draft Update Date, Draft Update Time, and Draft Comments fields. Both the authorizer and the sender can add the document to be approved, minimizing unnecessary workflow traffic.
Authorization
It is now possible to assign different access rights to various tabs in Item Master Data and Business Partner Master Data windows for your Users or User Groups. SAP Business One enables users to manage authority, responsibility, and task areas separately in individual tabs, preventing errors and enhancing data security.
