If you can’t find it here, then……

If you have done a search on anything related to SAP Business One, then you probably realize the over-abundance of information out there today.  But, how much of that is relevant and up-to-date?  Why doesn’t someone create a consolidated area of all the pertinent SAP Business One information?  If you have 15 different websites up on your screen right now, then this section is for you!

You will find it useful if you are a current SAP Business One customer looking for the latest information on the new release or even those considering SAP Business One looking for a deeper dive of self-service information.  The SAP website, while containing very good information, is a vast repository and it’s often a daunting task to navigate.  Here, we will be consolidating all of the main sources of SAP information and coordinating them in a more concise manner, specifically related to SAP Business One.  So, let’s get started….

Self-Study Areas

The help withinSAP Business One Academy SAP Business One is very good and getting even better with each release. However, maybe you had your initial training and looking to brush up on the content. Maybe you have training coming up and want to get a head start. Maybe you are a prospect and want to evaluate some of the self-study material.  Here are several links to SAP material and training.  This will not replace training specifically coordinated for your situation, but its a great start.

The SAP Business One Academy can be accessed by anyone and contains an abundance of information.  Just be careful, it’s not always easy to get back to square one and easy to get lost in the woods.

SAP Business One to Go

This is a very expansive document detailing out the functionality and mindset of the system.  It doesn’t have everything, but if it’s not here, then it’s a much deeper dive.  This is for version 9.1 and a new version for 9.2 will be posted in it’s place, when available.  However, even though it’s a version behind, it’s very well done and will give a great understanding on all aspects of the system, except the latest updates.  Be advised, however, it is 304 pages if you print it out in it’s entirety!

SAP Business One To Go

***Editors Note:  This is a document I am often surprised most people don’t have in their own personal repository of Business One information.  It’s one of my first “goto” documents when I have questions.  One reason I like this document is that it starts off with the “personality of SAP Business One”.  Having been in the business for many years, I have learned that understanding how a system “thinks” is one of the biggest keys to success, as you are not trying to constantly fight against what it is trying to do natively.

SAP Business One on YouTube

Does SAP Business One have a YouTube channel?  Absolutely.  Just be careful, there is an abundance of linked content and posts.  Anything more than a year old is probably suspect in terms of functionality available in the latest versions. Since the General Release of Version 9.2 just came out at the end of May 2016.  New video posts are just starting to emerge, but it takes a couple of months to get posted.  That’s the general timing of things.

Did you know you could submit your ideas for product improvements directly to SAP?!?

The New Idea Place for SAP Business One was created for direct user feedback and further product refinement.  It is not meant for categorical changes, but smaller enhancements directly based on user feedback.  Here, you can submit your ideas, vote for other ideas, get new ideas on how to approach specific issues, and have direct product input.  They will even let you know the status of your idea within the process of Concept to Delivery, should it be accepted.

To date, over 2300 ideas have been submitted and over 280 of those have already been incorporated into the product.  That’s actually a very good percentage (12%), considering the number of duplicate requests and many of the requests are for functionality that users just don’t know already exists.  A very nice feature of the board is that it is moderated by a team of experts.  So, if the features actually exist, they will often times point you in the right direction.

Submit your idea today!

A Note Regarding Access

Some SAP Business One resource areas will require an “S” number.  This is an individual company number given to you at the time of purchase.  If you don’t know it, then no one but your current Partner of Record or SAP can retrieve it for you.  Whenever possible, we have tried to include links that do NOT require this number.  We will denote which links require it.

Current License Comparison Chart

SAP Business One has 2 main types of users.  There are Professional Users and Limited Users.  Professional Users have access to a wide range of functionality and are generally managers or power users on the system.  Limited Users have more specific areas of access, like accounting, sales, or logistics.  In either case, just because you can have access to those areas, doesn’t mean you do have access.  Each role, or group of roles, is defined by your administrator and can be limited or even eliminated at the screen and field level.
