Hace un par de semanas publicamos en este artículo cómo se podían utilizar las autorizaciones para limitar el acceso de los usuarios a los distintos módulos y funciones de SAP B1. Esta semana hablaremos de los grupos de autorizaciones, que se utilizan para restringir el acceso a elementos concretos, como pueden ser las Listas de precios o la Document Numbering. Defining authorizations
Suppose, for example, we have a series of commercials running in different areas and we do not want those in the "Zona Norte" displayed the price lists of the "Zona Sur" and vice versa. In this case, using the rates already introduced in previous articles , which will be the following:
In the example shown, the user cmateo allowed to view the lists of groups 2 and 4, while denied access to group 3. Thus, this employee could view and modify the rate of the "North Zone", but not that of the "Zona Sur".
highlight some issues concerning these parameterizations:
This little feature that we have seen exemplified in price lists can also be applied to the numbering documents to prevent, for example, a logistics operator of the export department can create documents with the serial numbers assigned to the national department. The settings in this case is done similarly to the previous case.
From SEMIC have begun a collaboration with IT-Spain.net (through the portals erp-spain.com and demosdesoftware.com ) for a series of webinars in which we to share with you our knowledge of SAP B1 .
In this first installment is a brief demo of the product, introducing the various standard SAP modules B1, to focus later in the development of an add-on taking advantage of electronic invoicing standard SAP B1 integration with MS Outlook.
As we made the new webinars post on the blog, but if you want to follow any live we challenge you to check the calendar of events IT-Latino, available at www.eventos-it.com. If no last minute change, the next event is scheduled for Wednesday December 15 at 17:00

Another post over prices, and with this give and closed the series of articles related to price management in SAP B1 . Today we will discuss the Special Prices . Definition
This module allows us to define a specific price for a given IC . To access this module you can do it from 2 points:
The simplest is to use the second option to set prices for a given IC. If we do so, SAP B1 shows the window of special prices for business partner as shown in the picture below.
To explain how to define special prices using this window, first define your operation and then parameterize 2 examples of use. Reference Rates
The definition of special rates can specify which reference rate to be used for calculating the prices of each IC.
Just keep in mind that the benchmark rate will be directly the item master, explained in our Creating post buying and selling rates in SAP B1 . Do not use the period and quantity discounts which are explained in the post and quantity discounts period. We may also use a price list special "No list price." This option, already discussed in detail in the post automatic price lists, and manuals related allows us to specify an item price without reference to any other price list. Practical examples
Suppose a particular customer want to make a 10% discount on the price list "sales price" for items of the Group "PCs" for that we act as the following video.
In the case of indicating to a customer a specific price regardless of any reference price list, we would use as a reference price list of the list "No price list" . The following video shows how to manually set the price for each of the articles of the group "PCs."
In the definition of special prices also we can define temporary bids using the same procedure as we saw in the post and quantity discounts period. Copy
special pricingSometimes you may be interested to apply special rates for a specific IC to another IC, or even several ICs that share pricing. To do SAP B1 has a tool we have available in selection criteria.
In the picture above we can see how you can copy the customer's special price "C2000" all customers of the group "Administration" for items group "PCs." This tool helps to the extent of price lists. Hierarchy
prices Special prices always prevail over any price fixed at both the master articles as time and quantity discounts . Must be taken into account, because if we want to restore prices based on the price list of the IC, we delete previously Special Pricing.
One of the advantages of SAP B1 is that, regardless of the type of license you have a user, you can configure permissions to allow / deny access to each application modules independently. General authorization
From the menu item Management -> System Initialization -> Authorizations -> General authorization accesses the authorization form that allows you to set these permissions. Each module can specify 3 values: Lack
The application allows not only set permissions at the module level, but in terms of document / form. Thus, a user may have full access to the orders and invoices within the sales module, but only allowed to see the Bills. When that happens, the general module (Sales in this example) is marked as authorization number. Copy configurations
To expedite the management of permissions, it is possible to copy the settings from one user to another. Normally companies exist users of the same profile and that, consequently, have the same access to the application. When that happens, just set the authorizations in one of them and copy them to other users of the same type.
This simply must do drag & drop user source to destination as shown in the picture below.
Since we recommend that you use the authorizations to prevent users from accessing the application settings, especially those forms within the menu items Management -> Initialization system and Management -> Settings . The safest thing is to assign responsibility for these tasks users parameterization, so as to avoid possible errors due to incorrect settings.
In this post we explain the considerations that must be taken into account in applying the provision 10708 default on English law with SAP B1 . Computation of maturity
According to this provision states that:
The payment period in respect of all calendar days of the year, and are void and will not put the agreements to exclude from the computation considered vacation periods.This implies that we should review the settings in SAP B1 holidays and dates of payment. Vacation
SAP B1 can be defined by the timing associated with the IC's which is the vacation of IC (used for the calculation of maturities). The picture shows where you set this parameter in the IC's.
If we defined vacation periods for the IC's Deberre clear the field value Vacation to comply with the new provision.
To identify these IC's can use a query that will show all those vested vacation. SELECT
CardCode, CardName, HldCode FROM T0 WHERE T0.HldCode <> OCRD ''
not be taken into account the payment dates for the calculation of maturities. That is why we eliminate the payment dates of those IC's that are assigned. The payment dates are defined in the button shown.
IC's to identify those for which it has set dates for payments, we use the following query: SELECT
T0.CardCode, T0.CardName OCRD FROM T0 WHERE
T0.CardCode IN ( SELECT DISTINCT FROM CardCode CRD5)
Using standard functionality can to solve this new need. This case we shall see through a billing example shown in the picture.
Suppose that the company conducts a bi-monthly billing invoices and that the payment term customer currently stands at 60 days from the date of issuance of the invoice ( Date document). Now with the new provision is set to 60 days from the date of posting packing slip.
What we can do here is change the number of days of the payment term of 60 days to 45 days. Thus, to make the bill the day 15 of the month, a slip of day 1 will have a maturity of 60 days of the receipt date by adding 45 days of the invoice date.
To do this we modify the conditions of payment () as shown in the picture.
With this solution, we can only assure you that no expiration date exceeds 60 days. However, it may be the case that due dates are calculated with a shorter period (which comes within the law), depending on the difference between the date of the receipt and invoice date.
Since we have developed a small add-on correcting the expiration date from the date of the receipt and not from the date of the invoice (Posting Date, Date document and date system.)
According to the new layout we will be gradually shortening the repayment period according to specified maximum period (85 days in 2011, 75 days in 2012 and 60 days in 2013). To do this we need to change the payment term member of our IC's.
If we look for those IC's with a certain condition of payment for change we can proceed to use the following query: SELECT
T1.CardCode, T1.CardNameBy standard functionality of SAP B1, supported through user queries and a little ingenuity, we can meet the legal requesitos the new provision of law delinquency.
