The big news was announced at CeBIT 2013: SAP Business One is now available as the first SAP application that can be used without restrictions under HANA is running. Now there have already been a number of anticipatory critics who have expressed doubts as to whether this combination is really a sensible offer for SMEs. After all, the SMEs addressed by SAP Business One are far from really "BIG DATA" to produce.
However, this approach is perhaps somewhat truncated if the potential use of SAP HANA is limited solely to the potential accelerated utilisation of SAP HANA. analysis of mass data.
In a somewhat longer article SAP is now attempting to provide clarification on the SAP.info platform. SAP summarises the most important new functions of SAP Business One on HANA as follows:
(QUOTE.)
- Availability checks ensure a dynamic aggregation of current stocks, ordered stocks, replenished stocks and Stocks and delivered stocks. Orders can be rescheduled by users to optimise product movements.
- cash flow-forecasts enable the consideration of orders, purchase orders, advance payments and regular postings in calculations and thus ensure maximum performance in finance and accounting. accounting.
- Embedded analysis functions are available directly in the transaction screens. They enable sales staff to submit customised cross-selling and up-selling offers to their customers in real time.
- Reports are for computationally intensive tasks such as inventory analyses and the monthly determination of the customer status are already predefined.
- Predefined dashboards contain, in addition to the SAP Crystal Reports In addition to the dashboards already delivered, three new dashboards are available exclusively for SAP Business One, version for SAP HANA: Sales Opportunity, Inventory Analysis and Key Figures for CEOs.
- Ad hoc reports contain common business terms and allow users to easily interact with data using BI tools such as SAP Crystal solutions. Users do not need to be familiar with business rules or know where the data is stored and can therefore create reports without IT support.
- Free company-wide search functions enable keyword searches in all data in SAP Business One.
- Functions for life cycle management include an initialisation and duplication mechanism, Backup and recovery, monitoring and an administration console.
- Mobile access options are provided via the SAP Business One app for many of the new functions, including the integrated company-wide search, availability check and cash flow dashboards.
(QUOTE ENDS)
It seems to be less the size of the company or the amount of data that plays a role in the evaluation of SAP Business One on HANA and more the will to innovationto get a head start.
However, this not only applies to customers who use SAP Business One, but also to add-on manufacturers. The more than 500 add-on solutions for SAP Business One that are already on the market have already been ported to HANA by one or other of SAP's development partners. However, this is probably just the beginning. HANA has its own functional logic, on the basis of which completely new approaches can be pursued.
There is still a lot to look forward to here, as the SAP ADDON manufacturers are developing a much higher level of dynamism than the "tanker" SAP as a "speedboat in the SAP ocean".
