We used [SAP Business One] as 1 of the tools to pick for accounting. SAP business was 1 of the tools in our selection process. SAP is great for complex operations and can connected to many other systems to automate global orders, accounts, purchases and project management.

So for complex rules, and bigger companies this is a great tool to implement because of the freedom you have. Or does it?
  • Inventory management
  • Automations with other systems
  • Reporting (i mean you can report everything)
  • Price... For us it's more a enterprise solutions modules, users etc ramp up the price FAST
  • Learning curve, prepare to train your people!
  • Report building is simple, and needs a upgrade (still it's flexible!)
Like i said for complex implementations and use with other systems SAP [Business One] is great. You can create automatic warehousing if you want with this system as it base. We used it to integrate CRM systems with the production orders to make a seamless automated order process from purchase to warehouse to costumer. And it works great!

But with this it will cost you for implementing and get it to run, next to the training of people to use the system. So again for big companies i would suggest SAP [Business One], but for smaller ones and even mid... There might be better and cheaper options for your needs!

  • Able to make a complex process automated saving a lot of time and money
  • High costs for implementation because you have a lot of options
  • With some learning the system will do it's job good!
We did not use many ERP systems yet so I'm unable to go to much in detail. We tested some and the main issue was the pricing.
Good alternatives would be Oracle NETSUITE, Microsoft Dynamics if your company is Microsoft based with al the other programs (great integrations). And for small business you could look at Odoo they work with modules to build your own system with the modules you need and want, and has a low entry price.
Great system for complex connections and automations, but still even what most say, a big learning curve and a lot of trial and error to get the system to run smoothly. Next to the fact that they have a complex pricing structure that's not clear enough. So for they functions you want you might need to pay extra. And you and up with big $$$ in costs.

Once it stands you have a solid system running for a long time, so for 1 a good investment for the other to high to grab.
We had some complex questions and went in a loop with calls emails etc. They where unable to find the right person to talk with us, and when we found 1 he was unable to reach... We ended up working with a local profession for the implementation, and that went smoothly. I would suggest SAP to start with that if there are complex projects...

The business as a whole uses SAP Business One. We use it for every function of the company and in every department. We use SAP Business One for absolutely everything - from accounting and sales to inventory and contact lists. We also use it to organize our digital files by attaching them to documents within SAP.
  • Thoroughness of business partner information. SAP has a slot for anything and everything you might need to know about a business partner.
  • Ease of Journal Entries. SAP makes it very easy to manually enter and adjust JEs.
  • Chart of Accounts. SAP also makes it so easy to use the chart of accounts.
  • Being able to add attachments to more of the documents in SAP. Such as outgoing payments and journal entries.
  • MacOS Compatibility. I have log in to a Microsoft Remote connection to use SAP. Given that it runs on open source software at its core, there really is no reason for it to require a Microsoft OS.
  • Increased usability of project codes. The standard and custom reports only pull the project code information from the accounting tab of the document instead of the body of the document (where multiple codes are able to be entered.)
SAP Business One (B1) is great for accounting. It has so much functionality and really does everything you need. Honestly, it does hundreds of things most businesses don't really need. Ha ha! I only gave it an 8 because it's not very appropriate for small businesses. It has caused more than one situation for us where the extra functionality was inefficient. Though, I do believe the vendor advertises SAP B1 to be used by companies much larger than ours.

  • Project costing is not super adequate for the types of projects we do.
  • The accounting system lets you look all the way back to the beginning, so researching things is very easy.
  • The invoicing system is super functional and more customizable than QuickBooks.
Yes
They pulled our old data base. Uploaded it to SAP. Then tested the system.
I've stated this several times, but funtionality with MacOS is really an issue.
I honestly preferred QuickBooks for our business needs. We went with SAP because more employees had previous experience with it and were not keen on learning something new.

The use of the tool allows to have an ERP which is implemented, in general, in all areas of the company, integrates in a coordinated manner in the areas of Marketing, Production, Marketing Channels, Inventories, Administration, Accounting, Finance, Portfolio Management of Customers, Accounts Payable and Charged. Allowing the control of all these functions in a single integrated application.

It is ideal for small and medium businesses, since it is a complete application, with a good technical service, and with accessible costs for the benefits received.
  • It allows making a real follow-up of the state of the company, without the need to wait for periodic reports. This provides a corrective tool for situations that deviate from the standard.
  • It prevents the business areas from working separately so the information is not duplicated and is managed effectively by all involved. thus avoiding conflicts and optimizing resources.
  • It allows the proper management of the client portfolio, accurately projecting the inputs and outputs of resources, products, orders, and invoices. Therefore, the inventory and cash flow are properly managed.
  • By correctly managing cash inflows and customer requirements, a real plan of goals can be established that is adjusted to the company's capabilities.
  • It is a standardized program in its use, with a parent company with decades in the market and renowned, which provides adequate user support to the tool.
  • The learning curve is greater than other programs of its type. 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.
  • Visually, it is a sober program. I believe that the presentation could be improved by adjusting it to the user level with which it is worked. 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.
As we have already described, it is an ideal tool for small and medium companies, with a well designed ERP system and adjusted to the reality of the business. It is a sober, reliable tool with extensive experience in the development of administrative tools. The cost-benefit ratio is appropriate for companies of this size. The points of improvement are the integration with other platforms and the visual interface for average users.

  • 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.
Conduct interviews with the administrative and accounting areas, ask about the experience with the tool, make free test modules to detect the possibilities of use, as well as, validate the necessary investment for the implementation of the program with the system area, to determine if it is the most viable option
This tool is ideal for companies that are dedicated to the management of wholesale sales, marketing and distribution of retail products, the way it integrates inventory management tools, marketing, sales, as well as the management and projection of client portfolio is ideal for this type of company. For companies of services and factoring, more friendly applications are recommended. I would choose SAP for its reputation, tradition, and seriousness.
The ability to develop modules that adapt to new fiscal, monetary, and tax policies to avoid problems of this nature for the company. In a fluctuating economy, with changing policies at the monetary, fiscal, and tax levels. With a legal framework that requires changes periodically, it is important to have experts who know this reality and adjust quickly.
No

It is a tool developed by a parent company with extensive experience in the sector, has specialists in each area, as well as a long career. It guarantees the technical quality based on the practice of years of attention to the user requirements, which makes them very competitive in this aspect.
  • It is a tool that gives you all the necessary information, the data you need to make the right decisions.
  • 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.

Being a high profile tool, a user level with specific experience and skills is required to use the program. Which deserves special attention in the junior staff, requires a good management of the administrative part to develop all the benefits of the program. For young and inexperienced people the interface is not flashy. Although it is a very complete program.

Not appropriate for large companies having business processes sliced into small chunks across multiple departments.
