User defined fields are custom fields you create to track information specific to certain subject areas, such as projects,
resources, issues, or risks. SAP Business
One enables you to create your own user-defined fields in existing system tables or your own userdefined
tables. For example, you can track additional activity data, such as delivery dates and purchase order numbers
Manage sets of custom data, for example, a fleet of cars or a list of available meals. Every user-defined table automatically con
following fields: Code (the key) and Name. You can add user-defined fields to the table to maintain additional business informa
User-Defined Windows Opens a submenu that provides links to the forms for entering data in user- defined tables, a
in Entering Values in User-Defined Fields. After opening a form, to define which fields are displayed in it, click in th
toolbar.Example-
Forecasts are used in conjunction with the MRP wizard to generate your stock requirements (buy or make) based on how much
your business is going to sell.
The option to use Forecasts in MRP is one of the options on the Data Source stage of the MRP wizard.
If you go into the General settings / Inventory tab / Planning sub tab. You can tick or untick Consume Forecast.
Lets say you setup a forecast that says you are going to sell 100 items a month and you've already sold 25 items that month. If y
run has a data source of forecasts and consume forecast is ticked, it would say you only need to buy or make the remaining 75 f
forecast (the other 25 has been consumed by the amount you've already sold that month so you don't need to buy or make them
ticked, it would add the full 100 to your requirements and it doesn't matter if you've sold 25 of them already or even 99, it will s
recommend the full 100.
The intercompany integration solution allows journal
entries of all branch companies to beconsolidated into
a dummy consolidation company, enabling a single way
of running SAP Business One financial reports for the
entire organization or, for a division of the organization
4. Sales information
The System Landscape Directory of SAP NetWeaver (SLD) serves as a central information repository for your system landscap
A system landscape consists of a number of hardware and software components that depend on each other with regard to install
software updates, and demands on interfaces.
Features:
* SLD stores information about all installable and installed components of a system landscape.
* We You can also manually add information about third-party components to the SLD.
Data Transfer Workbench (DTW) is a migration tool that allows us to import data from a CSV file to SAP Business One.
It is useful when we need to import large amounts of data, such as items and business partners.
The DTW supports the auto transfer of data into the SAP Business One system, this is designed specifically for internal and som
external transfers.
Demonstrate the basics of using the Data Transfer Workbench to upload mass amounts of records ?

Project Realization
Project Realization is the heart of the project, and in this phase the consultants
implement all the business process and technical requirements defined during the previous phase.
Key Activities
1.Configure of company database.
2.Import of master data.
3.Validation and Testing.
4.Plans of training and cutover.
Easily import master and transaction data from your legacy systems into SAP Business One.
Data Transfer Workbench for SAP Business One is a migration tool that enables you to easily transfer
business and system data from your legacy system into SAP Business One.
SAP delivers a superior standard support service to ensure continuity of your business operations.
SAP Business One customers with a valid maintenance contract benefit from:
* 24x7 support for critical issues
* Single access point for support tasks via the support launchpad for SAP Business One
* Automation and proactive support tools such as remote support platform for SAP Business One
* Software upgrades and updates
* Knowledge transfer
* The way we determine the items value at sales is by using a valuation method.
* SAP Business One provides 3 valuation methods for calculating inventory value: Moving average, FIFO, and Standard Co
* Valuation methods are basically formulas for how you determine the cost of the units that you sell.
When we set up SAP Business One, we need to define how to control the inventory valuation according to business needs and l
settings.
We have two choices for defining inventory valuation.
A perpetual inventory system or a non-perpetual inventory system
* The SAP Business One SDK is a "toolbox" that contains interfaces, sample code, documentation and development tools.
* It provides application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow developers to enhance SAP Business One.
Change Request(CR) comes from the user in support project, After implementation user wants some thing to be added or modif
existing configuration in SAP, It may include ABAP change, or sometime configuration change in both the cases functional con
to do the feasibility study and impact of change to the existing Process flow and act accordingly.
Before doing CR the consultant must make analysis on CR the effects on existing process and before doing CR consultant must
approval
from the authorities.
Financial Impact Analysis is an additional module within ERP Maestro that allows users to see what data has been modified by
change logs within a specific period of time. This data, based on actual modifications within SAP, is compiled into an easy-to-r
searchable
report.
* User acceptance is a type of testing performed by the Client to certify the system with respect to the requirements that was ag
* This testing happens in the final phase of testing before moving the software application to Market or Production environmen
* A company's choice of inventory accounting will affect the company's income, cash flow and balance sheet. Income effect - In
cost of goods
sold are interdependent.
* If one method produces a higher inventory value in the income statement, the working capital will increase.
Client Requirement Doesn’t Meet With The SAP Application,
E.g.: On Purchase Of Material-X, The Other Material Will Get 50% Discount, Which Sap Doesn’t Support,
Like
User exits,
Field Exits
Menu Exits.
These Enhancements Used To Update The Standard Program In Its Respective Business Transactions, Used As A Gateway To M
Client Requirements.
Software licensing structures reflect complexity and rapid change in the technical and business environment. Virtualization, on-
premise, hosting, outsourcing, new product development – to only name a few – all add to the challenges in tracking software e
and deployment.
* Complex SAP license metrics (more than 100 special licensing types)
* Industry-specific systems
* Expensive licensing models (up to 22% maintenance per year)
* Non-transparent license control (automated measurement systems by SAP)
* Difficult license management (Software Identification (SWID) Tags recording unique information about an installed software
are not supported)
Table shorcuts is used to help perform all table related operations using keyboard.
The Setup section, an extensive part of the Administration module, is used for defining settings and defaults for fields that are u
throughout SAP Business One.
Drop shipping is shipping goods directly from your vendor to your customer without holding the items as inventory in your wa
A drop ship warehouse does not actually contain items; it is a ‘virtual’ warehouse. The moment the goods ‘enter’ the drop ship w
