Press Release Body: SAP B1 gets its ERP and small business MRP market share in US,
especially with the release of SB1 version 2007A. In this small publication we
would like to give you practical highlights on deploying SAP Business One in Rentals
business, where you rent your serialized item and then service it while contract is
active, incurring cost, such as spare parts and replacement, labor hours and
expenses either covered by warranty or billable to the customer. This publication
should help you locate your SAP Business One consultant, VAR, technology partner or
reseller for implementation, software license sale, customization, data conversion,
user training, reporting and integration. SB1 is targeted for small and medium size
businesses, and we expect it to get good ground in Chicagoland distribution hub
related small assembly and shipping businesses

1. How service contact is realized in SAP Business One. You associate your
inventory serialized item with service contract. Here serial or manufacturing
number is auxiliary feature, not required, but we recommend to serialize rented
items. Please, note that you can add more item to the rental contract, see next
paragraph

2. How to allocate additional items to the service contract. What you do is create
service call document, and there switch to Expense tab, Expenses Detail, create new
document and select the type on the document options – transferred to technician.
In the Transferred to Technician document select warehouse from where to transfer
and destination warehouse – to where to transfer

3. How to return items upon the contract expiration. The same way as in paragraph
3, create return from technician document

4. Customer Vendor Consolidation, this feature is new and introduced in SAP B1 2007.
Look at Business Partners – reconciliation and check multiple BPs. Here you can
select your Business partner, who is customer (with its customer ID) and vendor
(with its vendor ID) and reconcile all customer and vendor outstanding documents
with single either payment from customer or credit memo or payment to vendor.
Customer Vendor Consolidation functionality is typically separate module for such
competitors, as Microsoft Dynamics GP Great Plains, for example, so take your
advantage
