Although, SAP Business One is a simple yet powerful solution, a number of settings onceconfigured cannot be altered, especially after transaction have been posted. SAP Business One settings every consultant should know! 1. Local Currency & System Currency Once a master data record (Business partner and Item) and/or transaction has been created in the system, the local & system currency definition cannot be edited. 2. Currency Code The Currency code cannot be edited once it is created. However, it can be deleted if atransaction or master data record has not referenced it. 3. Account Segmentation Once an account is created in the system, account segmentation cannot be reset. Also, if you use a template chart of account, the segment settings are used by the system and cannot be edited. 4. Segments You cannot add a segment; change the length of a segment and type of a segment. Also, once G/L accounts are created, segments cannot be deleted from the system. 5. Segment values Segment value cannot be deleted from the system once it is linked to an account definition. The only flexibility is that you can rename segment values, howbeit it does not affect existing accounts. 6. Accounts Code Generator The Account code Generator automatically generates valid combinations of different segment values. These combinations cannot be deleted once they are used in a journal entry. 7. Purchase Accounting If you choose to use purchase account posting system, it cannot be turned off once transactions have been posted into the system. 8. Inventory valuation If you decide to use continuous stock system, the inventory valuation by field is check marked. Once posting have been made into the system, it is not possible to uncheck or undo this definition.

9. Handle Price System by warehouse The handle price system by warehouse box is checked when different costs are defined for individual item and warehouse. This field (box) cannot be unchecked once stock postings are made in system. 10. Allow Stock Release without a Cost Price The implication of choosing this option is that stock will be released without a cost price. If this option is not activated initially, it cannot be activated after transactions have been created. 11. Display Credit Balance with Negative Sign The implication of activating this option is that credit balance is displayed with minus in front. 12. Allow changes to existing Order Activating this option allows modification to be made to sales orders that have already been created. You cannot change this setting after a sales order has been created
