Unit II:
MANAGING THE MASTER DATA

Skillful use of master data is essential in getting the most out of the SAP Business One
application. Data describing business partners such as customers, vendors, and leads is master
data. Descriptions of items that are kept in inventory or manufactured by the company are master
data. G/L accounts which are used to post transactions are also master data. When a new
document, such as a purchase order, an invoice, a sales quotation, or a goods receipt, is created,
master data provides much of the necessary information.

Master data also keeps track of predefined values and settings that are used by the
automated wizards for payment processing, dunning activities, and material requirements
planning (MRP). Default control accounts assigned to vendors and customers are also master data.
The rest of the information that describes what is happening for a specific transaction is called
transactional data. Proper setup and management of master data allow everyone to use SAP
Business One to maximum efficiency. If master data is set up accurately, creating a document such
as a sales order becomes a lot easier. You only have to confirm that the default information is

QUICK GUIDE TO COMPUTER APPLICATION using SAP Business One


correct.

However, if master data is not accurate, business processes come to a halt while people
figure out how to enter the correct information. This chapter offers guidance to help you
understand, set up, and use master data properly so that you and your company get the full
benefit of SAP Business One.

SAP Business One tracks business activities using documents such as purchase orders,
invoices, production orders, sales orders, and so on. Each of these documents is constructed from
smaller reusable chunks of data called master data. Creating documents from master data
increases productivity, ensures data consistency, and reduces errors.

Master data refers to the key information that describes your customers, vendors, and
leads as well as items that your company buys and sells.

2 TYPES OF MASTER DATA

Lead

Business Partner
Customer

Vendor/Supplier

1. Business Partner Master Data

Use this window to add new business partners and to display and edit business partner
records. To open the window, choose Business Partners Business Partner Master Data. By
default, the window opens in Find mode, which lets you search for business partners.

A. Lead data: Describes people and organizations in the sales pipelineyour potential
customers. Lead master data records are used as the foundation for sales and marketing.
When you make the first sale to a lead, you change the business partner type to customer,
turning the lead into a customer.

B. Customer data: Describes people and organizations to which your company sells products
and services. Customer master data records are used as the foundation for documents related
to processing and fulfilling orders for customers and for the wizard for dunning customers.
QUICK GUIDE TO COMPUTER APPLICATION using SAP Business One

Entering and Managing Master Data

C. Vendor data: Describes the people and organizations from which your company buys
products and services. Vendor master data records are used to create documents related to
purchasing and accepting delivery of goods and services and processing payments to
vendors.

Most software systems have lists of data that are shared and used by several of the
applications that make up the system. For example, a typical ERP system as a minimum will have a
Customer Master, an Item Master, and an Account Master. This master data is often one of the
key assets of a company.

2. Item Master Data


SAP Business One lets you to manage all items that you purchase, manufacture, sell, or
keep in inventory. Services can also be defined as items, although they are only relevant for sales.
For each item, you enter the data relevant for a particular area in SAP Business One, which
uses this data for purchasing, sales, production, warehouse management, accounting, and
services.
You use the Item Master Data window to add, update, search, and maintain item data.
This window lists all the items in your company.
To access the window, choose Inventory Item Master data.

Item Master Data includes how the item may be purchased or sold, the price of the item,
the inventory level, and how purchasing of the item is forecast and planned. Item master data
supports a two-way process. Some items in inventory are sold by your company. Other items are
purchased by your company. Some items may be fixed assets that are tracked for accounting
purposes.

24 SEARCHING THE MASTER DATA LIST

One can show all the inventory items inside the master data list by placing an asterisk (*)
in the item number or description field. The same procedure applies for business partner master
data, you can just type asterisk (*) in the BP Code field.
However, you can do a wild card search by placing the asterisk (*) before, after or in the
middle of the word that you want to search. The list would show all items that contains the
particular string that you used.

You could also find specific information by typing in the word or number that you are
looking for in the particular field.

Note: One important rule applies to all master data- If a master data record is involved in an
accounting or inventory transaction (such as an A/P invoice, A/R Invoice, Journal Entry and so on),
it cannot be deleted. In addition, once a sales order is created, the business partner or the item
linked to it cannot be removed.

Exercise 2.4: Adding Item Master Data

Although item master data is completely different from business partner master data in
content, both are set up in a robust yet versatile way. For example, item master records keep
track of items that are sold, purchased, and inventoried by your business. Frequently the same
42 items are purchased, inventoried, and sold. The information is the same; it is just used differently.
Item master data is at the heart of almost every process in SAP Business One. It is used in
almost every module, including the sales, purchasing, production, MRP, inventory, and service
modules.

Create an Item Master Data for the following new items:

NEW ITEMS

Unit III
PURCHASES, INVOICING AND PROCESSING PAYMENTS

You can begin the purchasing in SAP Business One by requesting quotations for items or
services from your vendors using the purchase quotation document. Once you have compared the
vendors' quotes and found the best offer, you proceed to ordering the goods. To order the items
or services, you create a purchase order document.

The next stage is the goods receipt PO. It is the stage when the inventory is received into
the company. The goods receipt is followed by an A/P invoice, which is the request for payment. It
is the only mandatory document in the purchasing process. It is possible to create the A/P invoice
without first creating a goods receipt PO or a purchase order.

In SAP Business One, you can create an A/P reserve invoice. This document is similar to a
purchase order but includes a request for payment. The A/P reserve invoice is used when a vendor
is concerned about the credit worthiness of his customers. In the purchasing process of SAP
Business One, it is possible to return goods to the vendor if, for example, the goods you received

QUICK GUIDE TO COMPUTER APPLICATION using SAP Business One


were faulty. You can use a goods return if you based the return on a goods receipt PO or an A/P
credit memo if the return is based an A/P invoice.

You can create a new document based on one or more of the existing ones. When you
create a new document with reference to an existing document, only the documents that are still
open are displayed. All documents for which you have not created a follow-on document have an
open status. Open documents remain open until you transfer all items completely to the follow-
on document, or until you manually close or reverse them.

Each document affects inventory quantities and some affect the general ledger. The
purchase order affects the available inventory quantity. The goods receipt PO increases the actual
inventory quantity. If you create an A/P invoice without reference to the goods receipt PO, it will
also increase the quantity in stock.

As far as accounting is concerned, the A/P invoice always creates an accounting


transaction. It records freight and tax and updates the vendor account with the new outstanding
balance. The A/P reserve invoice only affects the available inventory quantity and creates an
accounting transaction.

The goods return reduces the actual inventory levels. The A/P credit memo reduces the
actual inventory levels and also creates an accounting transaction by applying negative amounts
to the previously invoiced accounts.

Note: Depending on the complexities and requirements of a business, the use of some marketing
documents may be omitted such as creating a Purchase Requisition for, Purchase Oder, Sales
Opportunities, Sales Order, etc.. But invoices are required marketing documents and therefore
should never be omitted. This Material will start the Purchasing Process from the creation of a
Purchase Order. 47

Excercise 3.5. Creating a Goods Return

The goods return document is used to return delivered goods to vendors or to reverse a
purchasing transaction for an item completely or partially, for example, a goods receipt PO in SAP
Business One. Due to legal stipulations, you cannot delete or make any accounting-relevant
changes to these documents. However, to return unwanted or faulty goods, or to correct errors
made when entering the above-mentioned documents, you can create a goods return.

When you create a goods return, the goods are issued from the warehouse and the
quantities are reduced. If your company uses perpetual inventory, SAP Business One automatically
creates the relevant posting to update the inventory values as well.

To access the window, choose Purchasing A/P Goods Return.

Note: The prerequisite before creating a Goods Return document is that there should be no A/P
invoice was created for the goods being returned. If an invoice has been created, you must create
an A/P credit memo.

Suppose you discovered that 1 unit of item no. P100, referencing Goods Receipt P.O. no.
270, orderred from Jaimie Lou were defective when received.Since no A/P Invoice was created for

Exercise 3.6. Creating A/P Credit Memo

When you create a delivery for a purchase order or an A/P invoice in SAP Business One,
legal stipulations prevent you from deleting or making any changes to these documents. You may,
however, want to return the goods to the vendor for a variety of reasons, or you may find that
you have made a mistake while creating the documents.

The A/P credit memo is the clearing document for the A/P invoice. Therefore, if the
vendor has delivered goods, and you have already created an A/P invoice, you can reverse the
transaction either partially or completely by creating an A/P credit memo.

You create the A/P credit memo based on the A/P invoice to establish a link between the
two transactions in SAP Business One. However, it is also possible to create an A/P credit memo
without having a base document.

SAP Business One lets you create an A/P credit memo with a zero amount. You can do this
when you clear A/P invoices for no-charge items, such as items that are part of a promotion or
covered by a service contract.

You correct both the quantities and the values with the credit memo. SAP Business One
reduces the inventory of the credited items by the quantity specified in the credit memo, posts
the value of the credit memo to the vendor account in the accounting system, and reduces the
expense account by the same amount. 65

To access the window, choose Purchasing A/P Credit Memo.


Suppose you discovered that 3 units of item no. A00001, referencing the last A/P invoice
created - no. 251 (Vendor: VT200; Rome Alfred) were defective. Since an A/P Invoice was already
created, we use A/P Credit memo to return the 3 units.

Before creating an A/P Credit Memo, verify that your credit balance to Rome Alfred is
zero. Remember that we have already paid the invoice issued by Rome Alfred.

Unit IV:
SALES, INVOICING AND RECEIVING PAYMENTS

THE SALES PROCESS IN SAP BUSINESS ONE

The sales process moves from issuing a sales quotation for goods to selling the goods (and
services) to delivering the goods to invoicing the customer for the goods. Each step involves a
document, such as a sales order or A/R invoice. SAP Business One moves all relevant information
from one document to the next in the document flow. You can adapt the steps according to your
needs and business processes.

Prerequisites

To avoid problems during document creation in later stages of the sales process, make sure that
the following key data is maintained correctly before you start creating sales documents:

QUICK GUIDE TO COMPUTER APPLICATION using SAP Business One


Business partner master data, especially the customer's bill-to and ship-to address,
payment terms and dunning parameters
Item master data

Process

The sales process in SAP Business One entails creating the following documents:

1. Sales Quotation

Before ordering, customers often require a sales quotation for review in their company.
You create it as a proposal of your goods and services to a customer or lead. It does not
result in any posting that alters quantities or values in inventory management or
accounting.

2. Sales Order

The sales order is a commitment from a customer or lead to buy a product or service. The
document is important for planning production, creating purchase orders and scheduling
resources.

3. Delivery

You create a delivery note to indicate that the goods have been shipped.

4. A/R invoice

After you have delivered the goods or provided services, you bill the customer using an
A/R invoice. With this document, you request payment from your customer and record 71
the revenue in the profit and loss statement.

Note:
The invoice is the only mandatory document in the sales process. You can create one
without first creating the other three.

For legal reasons, you cannot delete deliveries and A/R invoices or change any accounting-
relevant data on these documents if they have been already entered in SAP Business One.

Additional Process Documents

Each of the following documents has a specific purpose in the sales process.

A/R reserve invoice used when a company is concerned about the credit worthiness of
its customer. In this case, the company demands payment before any delivery of items to
the customer.
Return a corrective clearing document used to credit a customer if the goods were
QUICK GUIDE TO COMPUTER APPLICATION using SAP Business One

delivered but no A/R invoice was issued


A/R Invoice + Payment document for cash sales to one-time customers. SAP Business
One treats an A/R invoice + payment document the same way as an A/R invoice. The
corresponding journal entries in accounting and inventory are processed automatically
after the document is posted.
A/R credit memo used to credit a customer if the goods were delivered and an A/R
invoice was issued

It is possible to create new documents based on existing ones. When you do so, only the
documents that are still open are displayed.

Open documents:
Are those for which you have not created a follow-on document
Remain open until you transfer all items completely to the follow-on document, or until
you manually close or reverse them

Each document updates the inventory quantities and the general ledger in the following ways.

A sales order affects the amount of inventory committed to a customer and, therefore,
the available inventory quantity.
A delivery reduces the inventory committed and the in-stock quantities. Furthermore, it
affects the general ledger, if SAP Business One manages the perpetual inventory. In such a
case, the delivery reduces inventory valuation and posts a cost of sale.
An A/R invoice created without reference to the delivery, also reduces the quantity in
stock. An A/R invoice always creates an accounting transaction. It records the revenue and
tax, and it updates the customer accounts with a new outstanding balance.
An A/R invoice + payment reduces the quantity in stock and records the revenue and tax.
An A/R reserve invoice affects the amount of inventory committed to a customer and,
therefore, the available inventory quantity. It also creates an accounting transaction.
A return increases the in-stock quantity and updates the associated inventory accounts.
An A/R credit memo increases available inventory levels and creates accounting
72
transactions. It credits the customer accounts in the general ledger and corrects the
revenue account by the same amount.
Note: Depending on the complexities and requirements of a business, the use of some
marketing documents may be omitted. This Material will start the Sales Process from the
creation of a Sales Order.

As you can see in the journal entry, no changes to inventory were recorded when you
create the A/R invoice. This is because, the increase in Inventory is already posted upon the
creation of the Delivery document.
However, if there is no preceding delivery document, the A/R invoice records the changes
to inventory quantity. Additionally, if you are running perpetual inventory, the A/R invoice records
the changes to inventory value in the resulting journal entry.

Exercise 4.9. Sales Returns and A/R Credit Memo

For legal reasons, you cannot delete a delivery or invoice that you enter in SAP Business
One, or change accounting-relevant data in these documents. However, the customer might send
the goods back for various reasons, or you might have made a mistake when you entered the
documents. In such situations, create a return document.

When you enter a return document, you can reverse the posting of a delivery. When you
create the return, the system corrects the inventory Units. If your company runs a perpetual
QUICK GUIDE TO COMPUTER APPLICATION using SAP Business One

inventory, creating a return automatically generates a journal entry that updates the inventory
value.

Note:
If an A/R invoice has not yet been created for the delivery you want to reverse, use the
Return document under Sales A/R Return. If you have already recorded an invoice, use the A/R
Credit Memo (Sales A/R A/R Credit Memo) to correct values and Units for the transaction in
SAP Business One.

4.9. Suppose Customer C30000 (Microchips) returned 2 defective HP Color Laser Jet 5 (Item No.
A00004). These were from the recent items delivered to Microchips.

Since an A/R Invoice is already created for the said delivery, we cannot create a Return Document
for the 2 HP Color Laser Jet 5. Instead, we will be issuing a credit memo to record the return.

Open the A/R Invoice relating to the returned items.


Go to Go to Sales A/R A/R Invoice
Choose the Last Data Record
Click Copy to and choose A/R Credit Memo.
Click Add to save the A/R Credit Memo.

QUICK GUIDE TO COMPUTER APPLICATION using SAP Business One
Exercise 4.10. Set-up Item Availability check

The item availability check enables you to assess if:

a specific item is available


a specific item is in a particular warehouse
a specific item quantity is available
a specific item is available for delivery on the required date

In addition, you can check:

The item quantity available on the requested delivery date


The earliest delivery date for the full quantity required in the sales order
A basic Available-to-Promise (ATP) report that provides additional information about item
availability, such as the uncommitted stock and receipts available to satisfy potential
customer orders.

The Item Availability Check window only appears when the quantity of an item required in a sales
order is larger than the availability quantity on the delivery date, minus the minimum level. The
minimum level is defined on the item level or at the warehouse level (as defined in the Item
Master Data window). 97

The quantity is calculated as follows:

Available = In Stock + Ordered Committed from the current date to the requested delivery date.
If you update an existing sales order (instead of creating a new one), SAP Business One does not
take into account the existing sales order values when calculating available quantity, as it does
when you create a new sales order.

Example

A purchase order was created with a quantity of 10 items.


Sales order 1 was created with a quantity of 6 items.
Sales order 2 was created (this is a new sales order) with a quantity of 5 items, and the
available quantity is calculated as 4 items.
If the quantity in sales order 1 is updated from 6 to 8 items the available quantity is
calculated as 10 items, as if Sales Order 2 is not yet created.

Note: Item Availability Check window appears only if the Activate Automatic Availability Check
QUICK GUIDE TO COMPUTER APPLICATION using SAP Business One

checkbox is selected under AdministrationSystem InitializationDocument SettingsPer


Document Tab for the document type Sales Order

Available Quantity is the quantity of an item that will be available for delivery on the Requested
Due Date for the selected warehouse. If the Requested Due Date is beyond the item's lead time,
then the Available Quantity is the requested quantity since there is still a time for the company to
order or produce the ordered quantity before the requested due date.

SAP Business One determines the available quantity by checking that the amount in the Available
Quantity field is greater than the minimum level defined on the warehouse level, if the item is
managed by warehouse, or greater than the minimum level defined in the Item Master Data
window, if the item is not managed by warehouse

If a Delivery Date is not entered in the sales order the current system date is used.

Lead time (LT) is the planned time interval between the shipping of a delivery in the ship-from
location and the expected time of arrival at the location receiving the delivery (customer or ship-
to location).

The calculation of lead time is done as follows:

Lead Time = Current date + lead time + Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays

Lead Time is defined under InventoryMaster DataPlanning Data tab


Holidays are defined under AdministrationSystem InitializationCompany Details Accounting
Data tab

Example
The example below describes how to calculate the earliest available date for an item.
Lead Time When calculating the Earliest Availability date for an item:
The current date is Thursday May 22, 2008.
98
The lead time defined in the Item Master Data window is 3 days.
The weekend is defined as Saturday and Sunday in the Company Details window. In addition, May
27, 2008 is defined as a holiday.
The earliest available date is calculated as Wednesday May 28, 2008.
