In this blog I would like to share my thoughts on how to become successfull with SAP Business One in the Cloud. It takes some steps to get up and running which mostly starts with a cloud infrastructure but on the other hand, don't under estimate the changing sales cycle that comes automatically when selling cloud applications like SAP Business One.
In my role as SAP Business One Cloud Specialist I get in contact with a lot of partners with questions regarding Cloud set-up and infrastructure based on HANA, this but also questions about a changing business model when selling SAP Business One in the Cloud drives me to inform you in serveral topics about what is relevant and which questions will come on your path when taking the next step: 'Being successfull with SAP Business One HANA in the Cloud'.
I will address serveral topics which are relevant when talking about cloud, not only the infrastuctural set-up but also sales cycles that will be affected.
What drives you to go for cloud?
Personally I was triggered a couple of years ago when Rinse Tamsma (former Vice-President Global Sales Business One) kicked off the B1 Summit in Kopenhagen. He showed a graph about the SME market and demand for ERP solutions, there was a differentation between On-Premise and Cloud. The percentage of requests in the market for Cloud was more than 52%. I was working for a SAP Business One partner at that moment and responsible for sales, my conclusion was that I had contact with less than 50% of the market because we were not offering SAP Business One in the cloud. I could sell more but did not have the 'cloud solution' and price model. That more or less frustrated me and brought me at the point to think about cloud and what it could do for our business.
I will explain in this blog the steps to take and questions which are relevant when going for cloud, based on my experience but also based on the request from SAP Business One Partners. Doing this by mainly by explaining the steps and sharing information which is already available on SCN.
This blog will be updated from time to time as I will try to add new information every week.
The following topics will be covered in this blog.
Finally SAP Partners get the best opportunitie to become successful in cloud as they have the contract with the end customer. Look at this article which explains that SAP Business One Partners a in a good position to sell Cloud!
About me:
I work at SAP and working with SAP Business One for the last 8 years in a variety of roles. Currently I look after SAP Business One Cloud and spend much of my time working with partners to help them take advantage of the new and exciting opportunities that have emerged since it's release.

Hi all,
In our days the sales guys are more and more aggressive therefore I had a challenge to create an additional discount at the line level in the sales documents. For example, we have some items with 30% discount and for certain customers the sales reps wanted to give an additional 6% but they wanted the customer to have on their Invoices 30+6% and not 34.20% the real discount value.
I was searching and I didn't find anything like this and that's the reason of this post.
This was my approach:
- I created a table (Discounts) and added 2 fields (Discount and Mask)
- In the Marketing Documents - Title I added a field (Discount) that receives the value of the discount in the BP Master data
- In the Marketing Documents - Rows I added a field (Mask) that will have the value that we want to print in the documents.
- In the Business Partners Master Data I added a field (Discount) that will have the additional discount of the customer.
In the Business Partner Master Data the user can insert the additional discount if the customer has a discount.
In the discounts table, we have a relation between the discount and the discount mask that we want to be printed in the documents.
In the Sales Order form I used 3 formatted search's to achieve the correct result.
1. FMS to get the customer discount from the Business Partner Master Data.
The FMS runs after typing the customer code.
Select U_Discount From OCRD Where OCRD.CardCode = $[$-4.0.0]
2. FMS that calculates the correct discount. The FMS runs and if the customer doesn't have a special price, gets the discount from the Discount Groups - Manufactures. If the discounts are by Item Group or by Properties the code has to be changed.
The FMS is triggered after the item code.
If IsNull((SELECT T0.[Discount] FROM OSPP T0 WHERE T0.[CardCode] = $[$4.0.0] and T0.[ItemCode]= $[$38.1.0]), 99) = 99
If (SELECT T1.[Discount] FROM OEDG T0 INNER JOIN EDG1 T1 ON T0.AbsEntry = T1.AbsEntry inner join OITM T2 on T2.FirmCode = T1.ObjKey WHERE T0.[ObjCode] = $[$4.0.0] and T1.[ObjType] = '43' and t2.itemcode = $[$38.1.0]) > 0
Select (SELECT T1.[Discount] FROM OEDG T0 INNER JOIN EDG1 T1 ON T0.AbsEntry = T1.AbsEntry inner join OITM T2 on T2.FirmCode = T1.ObjKey WHERE T0.[ObjCode] = $[$4.0.0] and T1.[ObjType] = '43' and t2.itemcode = $[$38.1.0])
+ IsNull(((100 - (SELECT T1.[Discount] FROM OEDG T0 INNER JOIN EDG1 T1 ON T0.AbsEntry = T1.AbsEntry inner join OITM T2 on T2.FirmCode = T1.ObjKey WHERE T0.[ObjCode] = $[$4.0.0] and T1.[ObjType] = '43' and t2.itemcode = $[$38.1.0])) * $[ORDR.U_Discount.0])/100, 0) from OCRD T1 WHERE T1.[CardCode] = $[$4.0.0]
If IsNull((SELECT T0.[Discount] FROM OSPP T0 INNER JOIN SPP1 T1 ON T1.ItemCode = T0.itemcode and T1.Cardcode=T0.Cardcode WHERE T0.[CardCode] = $[$4.0.0] and T0.[ItemCode]= $[$38.1.0] and $[$10.0.Date] > T1.FromDate and $[$10.0.Date] < T1.ToDate), 99) = 99
If IsNull((SELECT T0.[Discount] FROM OSPP T0 WHERE T0.[CardCode] = $[$4.0.0] and T0.[ItemCode]= $[$38.1.0]), 0) <> 0
SELECT T0.[Discount] FROM OSPP T0 WHERE T0.[CardCode] = $[$4.0.0] and T0.[ItemCode]= $[$38.1.0]
3. FMS that gets the discount mask.
The FMS is triggered after the discount%.
If ($[$38.15.Number]) > 0
SELECT T0.[U_Mask] FROM [dbo].[@DISCOUNTS] T0 WHERE T0.U_Discount =($[$38.15.Number])
This is how it looks like after typing a customer and some items:
Then I made a change on the layouts to print the Disc.Mask if it's filled otherwise it prints the discount.
I hope it helps someone and I'm looking forward for your comments or questions.
Best regards,
Augusto Silva

i have been using the Fixed Assets Module in SAP Business One Ver: 9.0 PL-5.
The Auto Depreciation runs until the last period of the fiscal year. all automatic depreciations for the fiscal year is executed from 2014-2015.
but the Closing balances carry to next year shows the differences in opening balance of the 2015 fiscal year.
I Found that when i use the Fixed Asset Auto Depreciation run formula was working fine for the new assets which is created in that year based on the capitalization
posted. but the previous year Asset carrying is calculating wrongly, bcz the formula not considering the Net book values of Dec -2014 on jan-2015 auto depreciation runs.

We have a user who has changed the look of his dashboard and it has been working fine. He logged in this morning and he was greeted by the welcome screen after he had logged in. This indicated that it had not loaded his personal settings.
Does anyone know where these setting are stored? For example is a profile on the server?
Frustrated as this has happened to him on a number of occasions. Any feedback would be welcomed

HI,
We are a Import/Export distribution business, currently using online ERP cloud application, and want to move to B1 in the cloud.
I have a question around with the currency used on Inventory, can Product use a different cost currency, than the system currency used?
example, we use Philippine Peso (local currency) for sales, and purchase product in $USD from overseas suppliers.
How will this effect reporting, Stock Value Report, P&L, Balance Sheet, Purchase Orders, etc.
Thank you for any help with best practice on this topic

Just when you thought it was safe and you never have to hear from me again, I am pleased to let you know that I have rejoined the SAP Business One community.
I am now working with Brett Mundell, Warren Roberts and the team at Leverage Technologies - an SAP Business One partner based in Sydney, Australia (my home town) after 18 months off for good behaviour working in the United States with a Cloud ERP vendor called Acumatica.
Anyway, I look forward to actively contributing again to the community.

Hi
I wanna know is there any solution for defining different path for attachments. For example I do not want let the SCM department to see the Sales attachments because when i define a path for attachments all of system attachments go to that address.
Today we will explore how SAP Business One software addresses inventory management. We'll talk about how you can find in-stock, committed and available quantities on your items; how the sales process affects inventory quantities; and how the item availability check can help with inventory management on-the-fly.
Companies that buy and sell inventory items look to inventory management software to improve their operations and facilitate the sales process. SAP Business One is a small/midsize business management software solution covering accounting, sales, purchasing, production, MRP and inventory management.
How can you determine inventory levels on your inventory within item management?
In SAP Business One, item master records keep track of items that are sold, purchased, manufactured and inventoried by your business. In addition to displaying items, descriptions, pricing, general and purchasing data on your items, the Inventory Data tab within the Item Master Data will display the inventory level in stock, committed (the quantity ordered by customers), on order (quantity ordered with your vendor by you but not yet delivered), and available in all of your warehouses.
When is an item allocated for a particular customer within the sales process?
The built-in sales process in SAP Business One is Sales Quotation > Sales Order > Delivery > A/R Invoice. At various stages in this process, available inventory is impacted in different ways.
Sales Quotation
Before customers commit to ordering, they frequently want a sales quotation that they can review and circulate within their company. There is no impact on the available stock or committed inventory with a sales quotation. In effect, the inventory is still “available” even though it may be included on a sales quotation.
Sales Order
The sales order is used when a customer has committed to the order to execute their purchase with you. In SAP Business One, a sales order affects the available stock level. This means that the stock available to sell is reduced by the quantity in the order. When you enter sales orders, no value-based changes are posted to the G/L, but the items are added to the committed quantity in the inventory module. When an order for items is cancelled or closed, the committed quantity in the inventory module is decreased. You can view the ordered quantities in various reports, such as the inventory status report. This information is important for optimizing sales processes and stock levels.
How does the Item Availability Check help with inventory management?
A sales order represents a commitment that the items will be delivered in full at a certain date. How can you make sure you fulfill this commitment to your customers? This is where you can use the Item Availability Check.
As you enter the quantity for an item in a sales order, if the available quantity for this item falls below the amount required, a new window opens that displays the following options:
Delivery
A delivery indicates that goods have been shipped. A delivery is sometimes referred to as a packing slip. Creating a delivery in SAP Business One reduces the actual inventory levels. When you post a delivery, the corresponding goods issue is also posted. The goods leave the warehouse and the relevant inventory changes are posted. The inventory account is credited and the cost of goods sold account is debited based on the current item cost.
A/R Invoice
The A/R Invoice is the invoice document sent to a customer to indicate the items sold and the price due. Because the inventory levels were impacted with the sales order and delivery documents, the A/R invoice is impacting revenue only.
Knowing how SAP Business One manages inventory allocation is helpful in understanding at what point inventory is "reserved" for a particular customer order, and when it is not.
