New Feature Enhancements:
Intercompany Solution:
1. The Intercompany Solution Cockpit is renewed
The Intercompany Solution Cockpit has been renewed, offering significant improvements for better usability. One of the key updates is the splitting of tiles, which now allows users to view more accurate and detailed information. This change enhances clarity and ensures that users can easily access relevant data for intercompany transactions. With a more organized and structured interface, managing intercompany processes becomes more efficient. Overall, the updated cockpit improves both functionality and the user experience.
2. SAP Business One Service Layer supports Purchase Order to Sales Order document exchange
SAP Business One Service Layer is a new generation of extension API for consuming SAP Business One data and services. It builds on core protocols such as HTTP and OData and provides a uniform way to expose full-featured business objects on top of a highly scalable and high-availability Web server.
The Intercompany solution provides service layer support for the Purchase Order to Sales Order document exchange cycle in version 53.
3. The document exchange cycle from Goods Return Request to Return Request is supported
The intercompany solution supports a new additional document cycle, the Goods Return Request to Return Request in the intercompany trade.
The solution supports the creation of a draft or firm Return Request in the receiver company. This automation not only simplifies the workflow but also ensures accuracy and consistency in the creation of the documents. The user has the option to create the Goods Return Request, whether as a standalone document or linked to Goods Receipt PO or A/P Invoice.
4. Optimizing the performance of the User Allocation process
The performance of the user allocation process has been significantly enhanced following the implementation of targeted adjustments in the existing code. These specific modifications were designed to optimize the allocation logic, addressing previous inefficiencies and bottlenecks. As a result, we have seen notable improvements in processing speed and resource utilization, allowing for quicker and more efficient user assignments. This enhancement not only streamlines the allocation process but also ensures a better overall experience for users.
5. The addon validation for decimal and thousand separator settings is enhanced
The validation process for matching the decimal and thousand separator settings between the operating system and SAP Business One has been enhanced for greater effectiveness. This improvement ensures that numerical data is consistently formatted across both platforms, minimizing the risk of errors due to mismatched separator settings.
6. The User-Defined Fields (UDF) Data Replication feature is renewed
The User-Defined Fields (UDF) Data Replication feature has undergone a comprehensive renewal aimed at significantly enhancing the graphical user interface (GUI) performance. This improvement addresses previous performance bottlenecks and streamlines the replication process, allowing for a smoother and more responsive user experience. Users will benefit from faster load times and improved data processing capabilities, making it easier to manage and manipulate UDF data effectively.
7. Support for the creation of direct firm sales quotation documents
The intercompany solution has been enhanced to support the creation of direct firm sales quotation documents in the document exchange cycle, significantly streamlining the quotation process between companies. This new feature allows for more efficient and accurate communication of pricing and terms, reducing the potential for errors and misunderstandings.
8. The "Enable Transaction Notification" checkbox in the SAP B1 General Settings is automatically selected
When connecting the intercompany add-on in SAP Business One, the "Enable Transaction Notification" checkbox in the SAP B1 General Settings is automatically selected. This feature is designed to streamline the setup process by ensuring that transaction notifications are enabled without requiring manual configuration.
9. The Unposted InterCompany Transaction report is enhanced for the Return Request
The Unposted InterCompany Transaction report has been enhanced for the Goods Return Request to Return Request document exchange cycle, specifically to accommodate the Return Request document that is pending posting. This enhancement provides users with better control and visibility over unposted transactions, ensuring that all necessary information related to return requests is captured before final posting.
10. The Intercompany Transaction Report is enhanced for the Goods Return Request and Return Request transactions
The Intercompany Transaction Report has been enhanced to support the Goods Return Request to Return Request document exchange cycle, specifically accommodating the "Add" and "Update" actions of both the Goods Return Request and Return Request documents. This enhancement ensures that all changes, whether new requests or updates to existing ones are accurately captured within the report.
11. Creation of direct firm document functionality is enhanced for Return Request document
The functionality for creating direct firm documents has been enhanced to enable the creation of direct firm Return Request documents in the receiver company, based on the configuration in the Intercompany General Settings. This enhancement ensures that the process of Goods Return Request to Return Request document exchange cycle is streamlined and aligned with the specific settings and rules defined for intercompany transactions.
12. The UDF Data Replication functionality is enhanced to support the Goods Return Request to Return Request document exchange
The UDF (User-Defined Fields) Data Replication functionality has been enhanced to replicate information throughout the Goods Return Request to Return Request document exchange cycle. This update ensures that all the information in user defined fields are accurately transferred from the Goods Return Request to Return Request documents, preserving important information across the document exchange process.
Integration Hub:
1. The source name for the Shopify sales order is displayed in the SAP Business One sales order
The source name for the Shopify sales order is displayed at the Sales Order, A/R Reserve Invoice and A/R Credit Memo documents in SAP Business One to accurately capture the origin of the order, ensuring precise tracking and management of the order's source. This integration facilitates seamless tracking and management by clearly identifying where each order is coming from.
2. Support for creating customer masters using the numbering series in SAP B1 within the Shopify connector
The Shopify connector now includes support for creating customer masters using the numbering series in SAP Business One (SAP B1). This feature enables businesses to maintain consistent and organized customer records by automatically assigning unique predefined numbering to each customer in SAP B1. By integrating this functionality within the Shopify connector, companies can streamline the synchronization process between their e-commerce platform and SAP B1 system, ensuring that customer data is accurately and efficiently managed.
3. The "Paid by Company" checkbox in the "Expense Types" setup in SAP B1 is deselected in the Expensify Connector
In the "Expense Types" setup within SAP Business One, the "Paid by Company" checkbox is specifically deselected for expenses that are mapped to Expensify Categories in the Expensify Settings. This configuration is designed to ensure that expenses linked to Expensify categories are not automatically marked as company-paid. This setup helps maintain precise financial records and ensures that only eligible expenses are processed according to the company's reimbursement policies.
4. Support for Shipping Methods in Sales Order Integration in WooCommerce Connector
The shipping methods defined in WooCommerce orders are now seamlessly integrated with SAP Business One sales orders. This enhancement allows users to view the shipping methods selected in WooCommerce orders within the corresponding integrated SAP Business One orders. This eliminates the need for manual input of shipping details and ensures that orders reflect the correct shipping methods during synchronization.
5. Support for the User Defined Fields (UDFs) integration at Product Master in WooCommerce connector
The WooCommerce connector now supports the integration of User Defined Fields (UDFs) at the product master between the WooCommerce and SAP Business One applications. This functionality allows users to map and synchronize custom fields between both applications, ensuring that all relevant data is accurately and seamlessly shared. This enhancement improves data consistency and helps businesses maintain a comprehensive view of their operations across different platforms.
