SAP Business One for Small and Medium Businesses

SAP Business One is SAP's ERP solution for small and medium-sized businesses. It brings integrated processes to companies that don't need the scale and complexity of S/4HANA.

Core areas

• Financials: accounting, banking, budgeting, reporting
• Sales and CRM: opportunities, quotes, orders, deliveries, invoices
• Purchasing: purchase orders, goods receipts, supplier invoices
• Inventory: stock across warehouses, serial and batch numbers
• Production: bills of materials and production orders (basic manufacturing)
• Reporting: dashboards and analytics

Deployment

Business One runs on Microsoft SQL Server or SAP HANA, on-premise or hosted in the cloud by partners.

When it fits

• Companies with roughly a handful to a few hundred users
• Trading, distribution, light manufacturing and service companies
• Subsidiaries of larger groups that need a simpler local ERP
• Businesses outgrowing accounting software and spreadsheets

When to consider alternatives

• Very complex manufacturing or multi-country requirements → S/4HANA
• Heavily specialised processes → standard ERP plus custom extensions

Add-ons and integrations

A large ecosystem of add-ons covers industries such as retail, manufacturing and logistics. Integrations connect Business One with:

• online shops,
• CRM and email marketing,
• DATEV and banking,
• warehouse scanners and shipping services.

Implementation steps

1. Requirements analysis and process design
2. System setup and configuration
3. Data migration (customers, suppliers, items, balances)
4. Add-ons and integrations
5. Testing and training
6. Go-live and support
