Last time we reviewed the sources for SAP Business One help in the blog have documented, it's already been three years. In the article "More than the SAP Business One manual" we had compiled a list of where to find help on the subject of SAP Business One. Time to do an update!
4SAP Business One Online Help 2020
The first point of contact for SAP Business One support is of course the SAP online help. The site's manual addresses all topics related to ERP software. Of course, the User Manual isn't a book, it's a website. The page covers different versions of SAP Business One. Of course, the current version 1000, which has been released since 2020, is included. Here you can access the following topics directly:
- introduction
- administration
- finance
- opportunities
- sale
- Purchasing
- Business partner
- bank processing
- warehouse management
- resources
- production
- Material Requirements Planning
- service
- staff
Specialties of the country versions
SAP Business One is consistently on the international designed for use. We always start from the same basis. But many countries have their own peculiarities. Often, of course, it is about taxes, banking or electronic reports. The SAP Business One manual has its own chapter here: Country Specific Information.
SAP Business One Using Help Documentation
How to – instructions for operation
In addition to the SAP Business One Manual, there are "How to - Documents" on individual topics. However, these are all in English and not all are accessible without a SAP user ID. An excerpt:
- How to Define Authorizations in SAP Business One 10.
- How to Define and Use User-Defined Values
- How to Manage Sales and Purchasing Tax in the US
- How to Work with Electronic Billing in the India Localization for SAP Business One 10.0
- How to Work with GST Simplified Returns? ANX in the India Localization for SAP Business One 10.0
- How to Work with GST in the India Localization for SAP Business One 10.0
- How to Work with SAP Business One Office 365 Integration
SAP Business One Manual To Go
The one published in English is a bit more compact and oriented more towards business processes ?SAP Business One To Go?. With its 274 pages, the guide is a quick guide through the functions of SAP Business One. Somehow a slightly smaller but effective manual.
SAP Business One Community
The SAP Business One Community is for everyone who wants to keep up to date on current developments and special topics related to SAP Business One: the blogs in the SAP Community. Here you can learn a lot from SAP employees, but also from consultants who pass on their knowledge in blogs.
The textbooks
For many people, a book is still the preferred source when it comes to acquiring knowledge. Books have also been published on SAP Business One. The works presented here are actually also available as e-books. This type of SAP Business One help can also be obtained digitally.
The standard work
?The practical handbook for beginners and users? by Robert Mayerhofer has become a standard work on SAP Business One in German-speaking countries. It's not just a help and manual. The book also provides orientation about the processes that are hidden behind the functions. The reader is also guided with exercises to learn. Of course, a reference book that accompanies software that has now reached version 10.0 always has a disadvantage: it can never be up to date. However, this has become bearable with the last versions. Many fundamental things will not change significantly either.
The successor
If you want it to be up to date, you will have to be patient, but from July there will be a new, updated edition of “SAP Business One – The practical handbook” give. The new edition has an additional author, which is not surprising since the range of functions of SAP B1 is now awe-inspiring. A gap in the reference book was also closed: from this new and expanded edition, the topics of MRP and production will also be dealt with. The book will be in stores from July 24th, 2020. Of course also as an e-book.
English language SAP Business One Guide
The specialist publications have all been written by experienced SAP consultants. This makes it interesting to compare the different books. The English language book “SAP Business One: Business User Guide” brings you closer to the perspective and insight of six SAP consultants. All areas of the ERP software are examined. This reference work is also available in a bound form or as an e-book.
