New Feature Enhancements:
Intercompany Solution:
1. Enhancement in Intercompany Alert Notifications
Intercompany Alert Notification has been enhanced to provide more detailed and structured information.
Now, the subject itself includes key details such as the status, sending branch, the sending transaction type along with its transaction number, and the corresponding receiving transaction number.
With this enhancement, users can quickly identify important transaction details at a glance without needing to open individual alert notifications. This enhancement significantly improves efficiency by reducing the time spent navigating through multiple alerts to find relevant information.
2. Support for the additional Ship To addresses on the Return documents
The Intercompany Solution now supports additional Ship-To addresses on Return documents, enhancing flexibility in handling return deliveries across different locations. This enhancement ensures that businesses can accurately capture and track the specific destination where returned goods are being shipped, improving operational efficiency in intercompany transactions.
In SAP Business One 10.0 FP 2502, the additional Ship To addresses enhancements are available in the Logistics tab for return requests, returns, A/R credit memos, goods return requests, goods returns, and A/P credit memos.
3. Enhancement in Error Messaging for Replication via Service Layer
An enhancement has been introduced to improve error messages in replication via the Service Layer. Instead of displaying the generic "XCE212 Error while performing HTTP call; HTTP status is 400, Bad Request" error in the Intercompany Message Log, the system now provides more detailed and precise error messages.
With this improvement, users can better understand the root cause of replication failures, making it easier to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently. The enhanced messages offer clarity and accuracy, reducing troubleshooting time and improving the overall user experience.
4. The TLS protocol is now supported in the messaging setup for the Intercompany Solution
Supporting the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol in the messaging setup for the Intercompany Solution marks a significant enhancement in ensuring secure communication across systems. This addition reinforces the Intercompany Solution's security framework, making it more resilient against potential threats and cyber risks.
With the inclusion of TLS, organizations can now have greater confidence in the confidentiality and authenticity of their intercompany transactions. Whether sending confidential business data or managing transactions across different systems, the encrypted communication offered by TLS minimizes the risk of unauthorized access.
5. SAP Business One Service Layer supports Delivery to Goods Receipt PO 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 Delivery to Goods Receipt PO document exchange cycle in version 54.
6. SAP Business One Service Layer supports for Unit of Measure Group master replication
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 Unit of Measure Group masters in version 54 in addition to 20 masters supported in previous versions.
7. The option to export data to Excel is available in the Monitor Consolidation report
The Export button has been added to the Monitor Consolidation section in Monitoring to facilitate the export of data in Excel format. This new feature enhances user convenience by allowing quick and efficient extraction of consolidated monitoring data for further analysis and reporting. Users can now download the required information with a single click, eliminating the need for manual data copying and reducing the chances of errors.
8. The Unit Price and Line Total properties of the "Purchase Order-Sales Order" object are made optional in the company template
The Unit Price and Line Total properties of the "Purchase Order - Sales Order" object have been made optional in the Company Template. This enhancement allows businesses to apply the price list in the sales order defined for the customer in the receiving company, ensuring more accurate pricing in intercompany transactions.
9. Support for the integration of Due date calculation in the payment terms
The Intercompany Solution now supports the integration of the enhanced EndAt field for Due Date calculation in Payment Terms. This enhancement allows businesses to define a precise endpoint for due date calculations, ensuring greater flexibility and accuracy in managing intercompany payment schedules.
In SAP Business One 10.0 FP 2502, additional options have been introduced in the Payment Terms:
In Administration → Setup → Business Partners → Payment Terms, the additional options are added to choose whether the payment period ends at the end, start, or middle of the month.
10. The CFL button is added to the Distribution Template Code field on the master data
The addition of the CFL (Choose From List) button to the Distribution Template Code field on the master data introduces a valuable enhancement to the user interface. This feature allows users to easily access a list of available distribution templates, streamlining the process of selecting the correct template when entering or updating master data. With just a click, users can browse through the list of predefined templates, improving the overall user experience. This enhancement significantly improves efficiency, especially for users who frequently work with distribution templates.
11. The CFL button is added to the G/L Branch Allocation and Outgoing Payment screens
The CFL (Choose From List) button has been added to the Delegation Company field in Outgoing Payments and the Template field in the G/L Branch Allocation screen for easier and more efficient data selection.
The addition of the CFL button to the G/L Branch Allocation and Outgoing Payment fields introduces a notable improvement in user efficiency and ease of use. This enhancement allows users to quickly access a list of available options for both G/L Branch Allocations and Outgoing Payments with just a click.
12. A help icon is added for the "Block Creation of Intercompany Marketing Documents until Base Document Confirmed" in the general settings
A help icon has been added to the Intercompany General Settings for the "Block Creation of Intercompany Marketing Documents until Base Document Confirmed" setting. This icon provides users with additional information about the setting and impact of this setting, ensuring a clearer understanding of its purpose.
13. Informative notes are added to the Firm Documents screen under the 'Direct Creation of Firm Document' section in General Settings
Informative notes have been added on the Firm Documents screen under the ‘Direct Creation of Firm Document’ settings within Intercompany General Settings. These Informative notes are added to provide users with a clear understanding of the specific conditions required to create the firm documents directly in the receiving company. This addition helps streamline cross-company documentation by making the process more transparent and user-friendly.
14. The InventoryQuantity property in the document exchange is made optional in the company template
The InventoryQuantity property for intercompany document exchange has now been made optional in the company template. This enhancement introduces added flexibility in managing inventory quantity during document exchange. This update is particularly beneficial for companies having global item master but with different inventory UoMs across entities.
Integration Hub:
1. Support for the User Defined Fields (UDFs) integration in the Shopify connector
The Shopify connector now supports the integration of User Defined Fields (UDFs) between the Shopify and SAP Business One applications. This functionality allows users to map the existing User Defined Fields (UDFs) in Shopify and SAP Business One. This is particularly useful when the UDFs with the same length, datatype, and structure exist in both applications and can be mapped for seamless integration. By leveraging this feature, businesses can ensure that custom data fields are synchronized between Shopify and SAP Business One.
2. Support for the User Defined Fields (UDFs) integration in the Magento connector
The Magento connector now supports the integration of User Defined Fields (UDFs) between the Magento and SAP Business One applications, allowing businesses to map and synchronize custom data fields between Magento and SAP Business One. This functionality enables users to seamlessly link UDFs that share the same length, data type, and structure across both applications, ensuring a smooth and efficient data exchange. By leveraging this feature, businesses can maintain consistency in custom fields such as additional product attributes, customer information, and order details, reducing the need for manual data entry and minimizing errors.
3. Support for Email notifications for WooCommerce Connector
This feature allows users to configure email notifications for WooCommerce transactions within the WooCommerce Connector. Once set up, the designated user will receive email notifications about the transaction status, whether it has failed or succeeded. Customers can configure the email alerts separately for both successful and failed transactions, providing flexibility in how they monitor and respond to transaction outcomes.
In the event of a failed transaction, the configured user will receive an email notification with an attachment containing the failed XML message payload. This ensures that the user has all the necessary information to investigate and address the issue promptly.
4. Support for Email notifications for Shopify Connector
This feature allows users to configure email notifications for Shopify transactions within the Shopify Connector. Once set up, the designated user will receive timely email alerts about the transaction status, whether it has failed or succeeded. This functionality ensures that users are kept informed of critical transaction outcomes without having to manually monitor the system.
Customers can configure the email alerts separately for both successful and failed transactions, providing flexibility in how they monitor, respond to, and prioritize transaction outcomes. The ability to tailor the notification settings for each scenario enhances the user experience by allowing businesses to streamline their workflows and stay informed in a way that aligns with their specific needs.
5. Support for Email notifications for Magento Connector
This feature offers users the ability to configure customized email notifications for Magento transactions within the Magento Connector. Once the setup is complete, the designated user will receive email updates regarding the status of transactions, whether they are successful or have failed. This functionality allows for enhanced flexibility, as customers can configure email alerts separately for both successful and failed transactions, ensuring that they can monitor and respond to transaction outcomes in the way that best suits their needs.
6. Support for Email notifications for Expensify Connector
This feature enables users to configure email notifications for Expensify transactions within the Expensify Connector.
