You need staff who previously worked with the tool. The learning time is going to be high. Being a more developed tool, the user requirements are high compared to other similar ones.

In order to make it more user-friendly, we must not forget that a tool such as an ERP will be used by all areas of the company, which includes inexperienced personnel up to senior levels.
They should improve the integration with other tools that do not belong to the SAP family. In today's world, emphasis should be placed on emails, social networks, mobile applications, applications of calls and messaging, as well as providing adequate storage access on the cloud.
The implementation of the tool is in accordance with the type of program, however, for people who have not worked with programs of the SAP family, it will require more implementation time, as well as intensive user training courses.,8,The first impact we measured in the implementation of this tool was saving paper for printing, invoices and security paper, and savings in the issuance of reports that have allowed the reduction in 10% of administrative expenses.
In the second chronological order, we have reduced the storage and transportation expenses by 8% because we can monitor the behavior of the client portfolio in an adequate manner, making an adequate use of the inventory, largely due to the sales forecasts made by the billing team.
Reduction of 15% in accounts receivable, since a collection task has been carried out adjusted to each client, in the same way, we have reduced the banking leverage by improving our cash flow as we will only use the banks for investment in assets.,SAP Access Control,Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Microsoft Dynamics CRM),5,1,The inventory management, purchasing requirements, as well as the sales projection, allows for an adequate attention of the clients and needs.

The design is elegant and sober, offers a corporate image.
It is a reliable and safe tool, giving guarantee of data integrity, also manages a good accessibility scheme by user profiles.,The user level learning curve is slow, especially if you have not worked with the tool before. It is a complete program, which can generate the feeling that it is not friendly, the interface is serious. Since there are many options and modules, it can generate confusion in the average users.
User profiles, if they are not well designed, do not allow the handling of unauthorized parameters. Therefore, the Work Flow and all those involved in it must be handled very well, along with their functions. To avoid accessibility problems.
The reports must be well defined, otherwise there is a risk of not presenting the desired data, since many reporting options are available.,No,7Ronald SocorroOverall a fair program.2018-06-20T17:58:51.618ZSAP Business one was a replacement for an older CRM that was used prior. We used it to have a clean streamline from our Clients and our Vendors. The main problem that is possessed is the consulting portion. I feel that the management that implemented the optimization for our company did a poor job to hit the main focus of SAP.,Creating Vendor Accounts
Using their invoices feature.
The speed of SAP to access potentially archived information.
Their ability to quickly view vendor payments and clients payments.,SAP might be excellent, but I feel that the manager who spoke with the developers to optimize SAP did a horrible job and did not take advantage of the full functionality of the program.
SAP could move a little more smoothly when loading information, it is fast, but it's sometimes inefficient.
I believe the company that I worked for that did this caused us to have unnecessary steps when adding vendors to be paid on client invoices.,7,Allocation of records from the previous system
Everything is at a glance, but too compact.
Could use more feature to work with non-warehouse clients.,,Zendesk, Zopim by Zendesk, ZipRecruiterVerified UserSAP B1- great tool for companies outgrowing QB and other entry level ERPs2018-04-02T14:19:32.997ZWe used SAP B1 to manage our sales pipeline.

The reporting is very good. You can create your own report via the Query Manager and then even add some layouts to the reports.,The Software Development Kit (SDK) has some errors that haven't been solved from previous versions of the system.
The Print Layout Designer (PLD) is somewhat tricky to work with.

The possibilities for the users to make their own reports (at least the simple ones), reduces the cost of the consulting you will need, although some consulting will always be needed at the start of the project if you don't have an in-house team.
