What's new in SAP Business One 10.0 Feature Package 2405

The latest Feature Package 2405 for SAP Business One 10.0 brings numerous improvements and new functions. These relate to the customisability, efficiency and user-friendliness of the software. We describe the most important new features below.

Web Client UI API and Visual Studio Code Plugin

One of the most significant innovations is the introduction of the Web Client UI API. This API makes it possible to create UI extensions for the SAP Business One web client. This gives companies the opportunity to customise and diversify user interfaces in order to implement specific business requirements.

The new Visual Studio Code Plugin for the Web Client provides the necessary tools to utilise these APIs efficiently. This allows developers to access the Web Client UI framework, which gives them full control over layouts, controls and event handling. The development environment enables the writing, debugging, previewing and testing of extensions directly in Visual Studio Code. With correspondingly simple steps for creating, executing, building and deploying UI API apps, the personalisation of software is considerably simplified and new efficiency potential is unleashed.

Web Client Inspector for SAP Business One

With the new Web Client Inspector, users can also observe the effects of their extensions on the user interface in real time. Using a web browser, you can inspect individual page elements to understand their properties and identify potential problems. This functionality significantly improves the debugging and optimisation of extensions.

Improvements in sales, purchasing and warehouse management

Feature Package 2405 also focuses on improvements in the areas of sales, purchasing and warehouse management. Users can now insert batches, serial numbers and storage locations in the corresponding incoming and outgoing documents. In an incoming marketing document, for example, a batch or serial number can be created directly in the document line. Alternatively, you can use the help icon to create batches or serial numbers manually or automatically in a dialogue box and select storage locations.

In an outgoing marketing document, batches, serial numbers or storage locations can also be selected directly in the document lines. Automatic selection according to various sorting criteria is also available here. In the dialogue box, you can also navigate between different document lines that are relevant for the Batches-serial number or storage location assignments are required.

Advanced configuration in the web client

The configuration in the administration group of the SAP Business One Web Client has also been improved. As a result, it has an easy-to-navigate menu structure for accessing new settings and object definitions. Users can manage company details and settings, settings for marketing documents, application-specific settings and various function-specific settings directly in the web client.

New definition pages

SAP Business One also offers new definition pages in FP 2405. These can be used to manage different types of object data. Detailed definitions such as payment terms, cash discounts and unit of measurement groups are available in both the list view and the detail view. You can call up definition pages in the detailed view of business objects simply by selecting the "Define new" option in the corresponding fields.

Production variant report

There is a new two-level view of the production variance report. This allows a detailed view of each production component's contribution to the final production variance. Users can view more detailed data for each component row. In addition, more fields such as transaction type, source booking number, source and target document have been added to allow for a more detailed report.
