Overall Satisfaction with SAP Business One

We use SAP Business One to run our 5 companies. The MRP module is one of the most important ones because it stores our projections and makes calculations which help us decide when to buy and in what quantities so that we get our inventory in time without ordering wrong quantities and in the correct time frames.
We then use EDI to import our Sales Orders directly from our customers, this saves time and avoids errors. Additionally the SO gets created with the correct prices and if there is a difference the SO gets crated with an unapproved status.
We then easily copy the sales order to a purchase order. PO's go through an approval process in SAP. Once the merchandise arrives we receive it into our different warehouses and easily transfer between them.
We then copy the SO to a delivery document and finally to an invoice. The accounting dept. inputs incoming payments from our customers and outgoing payments to our vendors.
  • MRP handling of stocks
  • Inventory audits by warehouse
  • Approval process of documents
  • easily copy from one document type to the other while keeping them linked to each other
  • more reports which are common would be useful such as sales by category
  • an easier way for users to edit reports
  • better and easier dashboard tools
  • Excellent roi since it is the first time the company has real time vision of their finances
  • Users are impressed with the ease of use and visiualization of their transactions
  • integration with EDI has saved time and errors

The software meets our needs although we would like to see more integration with online sales
We receive excellent support from our SAP partner
SAP Business One would be more useful if it contained tools to acommodate the growing need of online sales. A more complete shipping module which handles tracking numbers with the common couriers would be great.
A built in warehouse management system would be great designed to be used with barcode scanners
