SAP Business One

Before SAP Business One implementation we were using Excel for inventory and accounting activities. Maintaining all these activities in Excel was too difficult. Maintaining multiple files was a headache for users. We were unable to organize data in a proper way due to human errors and excel limitations which was leading to low productivity. But after SAP Business One implementation all these issues get resolved. We are able to get well-organized data with accuracy which leads to improving our productivity and reducing manual work.

Business One is used daily at our facility. We use it to manage our inventory and others that we have at other locations. It handles all internal orders and billing as well as streamlining our processes.

Due to a spin-off, last year our company was faced with the decision of which ERP to use. In the previous years, we were using SAP R/3. We chose SAP Business One because is more suitable for small and medium scale enterprises (like us) where the business processes are more flexible. Moreover, we were looking for a cost-effective solution whereas R/3 is meant for large scale enterprises having multi-country locations and where budget is not much of a concern. SAP Business One does not have all the functionalities as that of R/3 but the functionality list is slowly increasing.

Our company mainly provides the implementation and support services of SAP Business One solution to the companies for their digital transformation journey. We help our clients implementing and migration to SAP Business One solution as a whole company wide Enterprise system. SAP Business One can streamline the company business processes and the real-time information visibility benefits the high-level management in making better data-driven decision in new sales opportunities, bring new products to market quickly and provide business-building levels of customer support and service etc. It also helps to reduce the operational costs, increase the business revenue and improve better work efficiency and productivity.

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?

SAP Business One is being used by my organization within both the sales and administrative departments. It helps us manage our inventory, purchasing decisions, sales processes, customer relations, projects, and operations. SAP Business One helps us gain company wide oversight in real time and offers us peace of mind when making business decisions.

SAP B1 has helped us to consolidate all the financial information of our company. Simplified our operation and since it is a cloud-based implementation we don't run any additional cost related to maintaining it.
It covers the whole cycle from e-accounting to billing which can be tricky in Mexico, provide us with the required information on time and it is specially useful since our accounting is outsourced.

We are using SAP Business One as our primary system for financial control. The entire accounting and tax part goes through SAP. SAP Business One is used by the entire company. Logistics uses SAP Business One for goods inflows and outflows, usage management; financial service uses SAP Business One by issuing and controlling service bills for our customers; and the inspector uses SAP Business One to issue the necessary tax collection forms.

We use SAP Business One across the whole organization. I think our biggest problem with SAP is that we have either not fully implemented the software in certain areas and our item setup was flawed at inception. The time we spend on improving SAP is around these areas. In item set up that includes GL mapping.

SAP Business One is used across the whole organization as our corporate ERP. With it we can manage key business areas such as finance, production or human resources.

We implement and support SAP Business One for 400 companies. SAP Business One addresses everything from accounting and financials, production, sales, purchasing, and brings them all together in one central location. It gives different departments visibility into how the business is performing, both separately and as a whole.

SAP B1 is used extensively across the organization so all functions including accounting, logistics, sales, purchasing, etc

SAP B1 is being used across the whole organization managing orders, shipments, financials, inventory, sales, purchasing, etc. Almost all aspects of the business.

It is currently being used for accounting and finance and will also be used by manufacturing when we get to that stage. Entire organization will use it. SAP consolidates everything onto one platform and will help us manage our inventory and manufacturing processes better than QuickBooks.

SAP Business One is being used are our ERP system which is used in all departments within the organization. This includes Sales (not business development), Purchasing, Logistics, Technical Services (Production), Finance.

SAP has given us the ability to mainstream our processes and have one source of truth. Our legacy systems were comprised of two systems and now have the ability to manage all processes in one. This system also allows in house customization needed to process data specific to our needs.

The whole company uses SAP Business One. With the implementation, we gain greater insight into the business and were able to streamline some processes. We love also how easy it is to generate useful reports.

SAP B1 is used for daily order processing, inventory fulfillment, and financial reporting. SAP B1 is used by the whole company and is extensively used by the Accounting/Finance and Customer Service department.

We use B1 across most of our entire organization of 16 companies in 10 countries. It also allows us to manage and control input from 100+ users to ensure accuracy in a way that previous ERPs did not. It has also allowed us to consolidate data from each business unit in one central location, which facilitates the decision-making process at the global level.

It was being used by the whole organization before we limited the use to finance, accounting, and partial use by operations. It helps us record transactions across three entities and produce the data we need to produce consolidated financials.

SAP is currently being used for inventory tracking, cost analysis, production scheduling, billing both AR and AP and purchasing. We use an outside program for our RF scanning needs and integrate that into SAP.

Our entire organization uses SAP. From accounting to production, invoice processing to purchasing, and our sales team. The biggest gain from SAP is that it allows our entire organization to see the status of their area of focus while having 90% of the business operations run through the software. The only area we do not use is the HR sections, which are managed via our outside payroll processor.

We are currently using SAP B1 as both an inventory management system and an accounting platform minus payroll for a wood flooring supplier. Inventory is tracked from the initial purchase orders sent to our suppliers, to receiving in our warehouses, to moving across our warehouses, to shipping to our customers, to taking returns and to fueling a B2B e-commerce website with live updates on order status and inventory stock levels. SAP B1 lets us have real time access to the count and location of all inventory (as well as a detailed movement history) for customer service reps, shipping staff, purchasing coordinators, warehouse personnel, billing and most importantly, a bird's eye view for ownership and upper management. B1's ability to show real time data easily is its most powerful feature along with the ability to scale when your business grows with more SKU's, customers and vendors.

SAP Business One is our primary ERP system. It is being used end to end, including procurement, production planning, stock management and transactional recording and reporting.

It addresses the business problem of inaccurate and 'scattered' information. The system has many controls that ensure correct and complete data entry into one central database, from which all reports are extracted, providing one, immutable version of the 'truth'.

We use the product for our complete sales and purchase process, meanwhile, it is fully connected with the finance module and it creates automatically a journal entry for every transaction that affects the general ledger. The reporting module has many options and is really customizable, and you can create your own reports once you get familiar with the structures of tables and fields in the database.

SAP B1 took the three software systems we were using and integrated them all into one ERP. This made our productivity increase and made us much more efficient in all aspects of our business. Everything was located within one ERP and made reporting much easier for us. We were able to integrate other third-party solutions into SAP to make our business run even more smoothly.
