SAP has released SAP Business One 9.3 with PatchLevel 04. This version specifically addresses the requirements surrounding the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The „GDPR Version“ is ready for immediate use.
The GDPR is stressing out medium-sized companies
The European General Data Protection Regulation, which comes into force on 25 May 2018, is currently keeping many SMEs busy. We were able to find out just how much at one of our Specialist events on the subject of the new General Data Protection Regulation determine.
A short summary on the requirements of the GDPR can be found here on our blog.
At the same time, the manufacturers of business software also have to fulfil certain requirements. One Detailed interview with a specialised lawyer you can read about this topic here.
PatchLevel 04 is the GDPR version of SAP Business One
With the new patch level 04 of the Version 9.3 SAP is now delivering a version of SAP Business One that specifically solves some of the requirements of the GDPR. Of course, many other features in addition to the new features also contribute to compliance with the EU GDPR - European Union's General Data Protection. These include rights management, which has been specially expanded in the 9 versions.
SAP Business One must offer solutions for the following elements as part of the GDPR:
- Business partner
- Contact Person
- sales staff
- Purchaser
- Customers
- employees
- users
All these objects hold personal data and therefore require appropriate compliance with the GDPR version.
But all evidence may also fall under observation:
- Offers
- Orders
- delivery notes
- bills
- Activities
- service tickets
- opportunities
- Etc
These are the GDPR functions
SAP Business One 9.3 PatchLevel 04 has the following features ready for GDPR-compliant data management:
- Data privacy tools for setting up personal data
- Personal Data Management Wizard for reports, data encryption and decryption, marking and deletion
- Protocol for accessing confidential data
- Advanced changelog for fields and objects with personal data
