SAP Business One in Small Manufacturing Warehouse Implementation and Integration

If you have just several workers down on the warehouse floor and small assembly on order operations then take a look at Business One which is reasonably priced and open to all the kinds of integrations and in addition to that has contemporary user interface and reporting.  Let’s take a look at what you are getting and budget expectations:

1. Discrete Manufacturing with Inventory Management including picking and packing and plus you are getting these modules integrated with MRP (parts replenishment wizard), Sales Orders and Accounts Receivable and Purchase Order and Accounts Payable

2. Budget Expectations in Software Licenses.  Software license is based on named user.  The most powerful license is called professional and its cost is slightly below three thousand US dollars.  SAP also requires annual contract which is based on pricelist percentage and its cost is measured typically as below twenty percent per year.  There are restricted user licenses such as CRM only for example with the cost around one thousand

3. Budget in Implementation Consulting Hours.  It is reasonable to expect the match in the cost of consulting comparing to software licenses assuming that you are not expecting large scale customization, integration or report design project.  Custom software development should be discussed and estimated separate

4. Integration Options.  We do not want to cover third party tools and restrict this publication to whatever is available in native set of instruments.  And here you should review Data Transfer Workbench as well as SAP B1 Software Development Kit programming in Microsoft Visual Studio VB or C# projects.  The reason to recommend these languages is sample codes available for programming by example

5. Customization in Settings or User Defined Fields and Tables.  If all you need to do is to create user defined tables and fields with automatic editing interface then there is no need to do coding and all that is possible just in settings.  Think about additional parameters for your finished goods or spare parts.  Add them in settings and fill them in user interface and place them on your managerial report designed in Crystal

6. Selling to the international customers and participating in international business.  Business One is localized in major international regions including China, Brazil, Europe and Russian Federation.  It supports Unicode based alphabets such as Chinese, Japanese or Korean

7. Versions.  If you already have this application implemented you might be on one of the historical versions 2005A or 2007A.  Currently in November 2011 version 8.81 is marching across the United States and internationally
