Now more than ever before, maintaining a competitive edge require consistently delivering your products faster, cheaper, and more conveniently - all without increasing prices.  This is typically done via eCommerce, and in fact the term "eCommerce" is today's most commonly-used term in the internet world.  And what's cooler is that eCommerce used to be only something that big corporations could pallette from both a bandwidth and cost perspective.  This notion was also true for ERP platforms.  But, no more.  Many of you reading this post may have heard of SAP and the offerings they have for small-midsize businesses; and many of you may have heard of Magento.  But were you aware that the solutions like SAP Business One and SAP Business ByDesign can be fully integrated with a Magento online storefront/shopping cart?  What is the integration called?  Navigator iConnect.

What does it do?

The eCommerce iConnect for SAP Business One provides a seamless mthod to completely integrate your SAP Business One system with your current or future eCommerce website.  Through this connection, orders from your website will automatically be loaded into your SAP solutions - accompanied by an alert letting you know an order has arrived.

Furthermore, as briefly mentioned above, this connection leverages the best-of-breed functionality of SAP for small business and proven eCommerce packages, namely Magento and Yahoo! store.  Simply put, now there's no need to settle for a non-funtioning website or a less powerful, less powerful ERP system.  This connector enables the fullest of world-class functionality, and the seamless sharing of data between the two. 

Diving deeper, the Magento/SAP integration enables you to input full features lists, thus enabling complete synchronization of item master records, pricelists, special/volume pricing, item inventory, sales taxes, business partners, orders, deliveries, shipping & tracking, and credit card payments. 

So what's the catch?

Simply put, there isn't one besides you just contacting Navigator  With the SAP/Magento integration, there is no need to customize your website to accommodate iConnect.  Whether you already have a online storefront, or your need to create one, the iConnect tool is a simple, two-way connector/translators between your SAP system and the eCommerce website.  Also, if you have not made the leap to ERP, and you have not set up your online store, Navigator can guide you and assist you the purchasing, implementation, and training of such, making your online business churn & burn quicker, and your business delivering more profitability to your bottom line than ever before; simply due to using two world-class solutions that now work together to build your business.

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to export the actual counts entered ion a PI count document. I can find the information but I can't seem to export it. I have run a report in confirmation journal to highlight all discrepancies on the counts but I now need to pull all the actual count numbers entered on the logistics area counts completed at the start of this month. I can't find anywhere to pull this information from. I have all the count documents completed manually at sites but am trying to avoid having to type all these out manually into a spread sheet if possible. Any help given would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks

Hi Experts

My use case is that we our customer requires some custom code lists to be added to Standard UI e.g. Accounts. This code list should also be extensible via Fine-Tuning process by key user in post implementation scenario.

Now I have created a Configurable code list in SDK using BCOs, it works fine and is also appearing in Fine-Tuning section. The issue I am facing here is that it only shows the “Code” and Not the Values inside the Extension field list on UI. I have added screen shots here.

Please Guide me through.

Hi expert

My company is working on our new SAP BbyD setup. 

In preparing our supplier master and employee master, we were advised to include their bank info in our bank directory.  As our suppliers reside in different countries and apparently use different banks, are we really need to set up one bank in our bank directory for every one of them?

Will that mess up our bank records?

We would like to know how other business by design users set this up.  Please advise.

Many thanks!

Hi Everyone,

    I'm new to SAP BYD. I wanted to create one Custom data source, where the fields values are coming from different BO"s. how to create that?

for example, suppose we have the screen called Quote Comparison in "Sourcing and Contracting" work center. there i need to create one data source for  those values.

so, i'm trying to create one custom BO, where i declared all the fields those are there in the Quote Comparison screen. and those values are coming from different BO's. so, i imported those BO namespaces in this custom BO, and i'm assigning those values to the custom BO values.

can you guys please give me some brief example how to create custom data source, and how to assign the values to the custom BO fields, those are coming from different BO's?

Thanks

Hi experts,

I created an incident in my customer tenant test because mandatory fields don't work. And they answered me following:

"it's not sufficient to set the field to mandatory in SDK (this only creates the red star), you also have to implement a check using ABSL (i.e. in BeforeSave event).

Hope this clarifies your issue if not please revert back to us.

Thank you for your consideration and cooperation."

But when I tested using ABSL I created an extension called AccountEXT.xbo using the code that you can see in the following image:

The test field was "Country", and when I tried to save the new account, appeared the error that you can see in the following image:

There are someone that know if it exsists another way to set a field (or an extension field) into a mandatory field?

If anyone can help me with this issue, I will be really grateful

Hi all,

A customer has many fixed assets that are currently under construction during a Go Live implementation.  I realize ByD uses projects as a bit of a work around for handling assets under construction in the system, but what is the best way to handle the data-migration of these assets under construction in ByD?  (along with the expenses/etc associated with these assets under construction)?

thanks a lot,

Hi

I am facing some problems while changing the values in Code-list while using fine tuning process in Configuration. I have created three code-lists and then being added to configuration using BAC.

In this BAC I have created one business Topic and three separate business options. Each business option is linked with each bcc (business Configuration Set).

Now when I go to and “Edit project scope” I am able to get the code list on my UI using extension fields and values are there too. But the problem I am facing is that in “Open Activity list” when I open the Business Options NOT all the options are opening properly.

Although I have got some of them opening fine and let me make changes while others are showing errors.

Any Advice Please.

Many thanks in Advance.
