What B1UP does in SAP Business One, and what it returns
Open any feature to see how it works in the system and what it means for time, accuracy and cash. Each one gets its own guide, with core concepts, best practices and a vocabulary.
Automation & Rules
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
The B1 Validation System creates new functionality for SAP Business One: the B1 Validation Configuration decides when the functionality should happen, and a Universal Function decides what should happen. A trigger reacts to events on any SAP Business One window, a simple or SQL condition can limit it, and an event set before the action can block the SAP Business One event.
- Triggers on any SAP Business One window
- No condition, simple condition or SQL condition
- Events before the action can block an entry
Licence and prerequisites: Configured by super-users, consultants or developers with in-depth knowledge of the structure of SAP Business One
Executive ROI Value
Company rules are applied at the moment a document is entered, not found later in a report.
- Wrong entries stopped as they happen
- The same rule for every user
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
Universal Functions are a collection of functions activated by the B1 Validation Configuration, by Function Buttons or by the Item Placement Tool, and there can be as many as needed, several of the same type. Function types include Macro, which simulates and scripts events in SAP Business One, Line Loop, SQL Report, Crystal Report, Dashboard, Create Activity, Internal Message, HTTP Trigger, File Importer and File Exporter.
- As many Universal Functions as needed
- Macro, Line Loop, SQL Report, Crystal Report and more
- Started by a rule, a button or the Item Placement Tool
Executive ROI Value
Repeated clicks and manual steps become one function that runs the same way every time.
- Fewer manual steps per document
- The same result for every user
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
Function Buttons place buttons on the right-hand side of any window in SAP Business One. A button can trigger a formatted search, open any other SAP Business One window or run a special function, for example opening an order, a delivery, an invoice, a goods receipt or an inventory transfer, and a button can start a Universal Function. Some windows, such as the Main Menu and pop-up windows, do not support Function Buttons.
- Buttons on the right-hand side of a window
- Formatted searches, windows and special functions
- Universal Functions started from a button
Executive ROI Value
The next step for a document is one click away on the window the user already has open.
- Fewer menu searches
- Common steps one click away
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
With the File Importer (UFFI), data is imported from any file format using C#; with the File Exporter (UFFE), data is exported from SAP Business One to any format using C#, SQL or a mix. Both can be launched as a normal Universal Function or run on a schedule, and they are the function types used in batch configurations.
- File Importer (UFFI)
- File Exporter (UFFE)
- Batch configurations on a schedule
Licence and prerequisites: Import and export logic is written in C# (and SQL for exports) by a developer; scheduled runs need the server component
Executive ROI Value
Data from other systems moves in and out of SAP Business One by file, without re-keying.
- No re-keying of file data
- Exports that run on their own
Windows & Data Entry
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
Mandatory Fields make chosen fields mandatory on any window in SAP Business One, at header and/or column level. The check can run during add, during update and during OK, each switched on separately, and the warning-only option sets a field as mandatory with an override.
- Header and column level
- Checks during add, update and OK
- Warning-only option with override
Executive ROI Value
Documents reach the next team with the fields they need already filled.
- Fewer incomplete documents
- Fewer follow-up calls for missing data
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
The Item Placement Tool rearranges data on any window in SAP Business One: fields move between tab-pages, fields never used are hidden, and new tabs can show a Universal Function SQL Report. It works with header-level items, not rows or columns inside a matrix. The Tab Wizard, part of the Item Placement Tool, creates a custom tab or a SQL Report tab, and Make Items Read Only defines items that are read only on any window.
- Fields moved between tab-pages or hidden
- Custom tabs and SQL Report tabs
- Items made read only
Executive ROI Value
Each team sees the fields it uses where it expects them, and cannot change the ones it should not.
- Simpler windows for each role
- Protected values stay unchanged
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
The Template System creates a template for selected data in almost every window in SAP Business One, so a selection window is filled out the same way every time; it does not control the matrix. Default Data sets what is default when a new Business Partner or Item is added, and Quick Create creates an item quickly from Item Master Data or directly from purchase and sales windows.
- Templates for selection windows
- Defaults for new Business Partners and Items
- Quick Create from purchase and sales windows
Executive ROI Value
New records and repeated selections start from the same values for everyone.
- Consistent master data
- Items created without leaving the order
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
The Toolbox is a series of smaller functionalities, each too small to be a module, and it holds over 40 of them. Examples: Use Line search allows line search on all sales and purchase documents; BOM Item Navigation decides how golden arrows react when they are linked to a Bill of Materials item; Delete draft when used deletes a draft when it is used, always or with a prompt.
- Over 40 smaller functionalities
- Line search on sales and purchase documents
- BOM Item Navigation and draft clean-up
Executive ROI Value
Small daily irritations in SAP Business One are removed without development.
- Faster line look-up on long documents
- Fewer leftover drafts
Dashboards & Insight
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
B1 Dashboard turns the background of the SAP Business One client into a dashboard, with widgets such as Dashboard, Kanban, Open Items List, Process Flow, SQL Report, Messages and Alerts and the AI Assistant. Beas dashboards appear with Beas Manufacturing 9.3 PL02 or higher, and WMS dashboards with Produmex WMS 2021.12 or higher. Dashboards can be saved or delivered to files or emails on a schedule, as an image or PDF.
- Widgets on the SAP B1 background
- Beas and Produmex WMS dashboards

- Figures in view at login
- Dashboards delivered on a schedule
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
The B1 AI Assistant is a dashboard widget for interacting with SAP Business One data using natural language, with data queries, manual queries and conversation. For a data query, the AI generates a SQL query, runs it against the database and shows the results in an interactive table; only SELECT statements are allowed. Queries can be saved and, by super-users, made public for others, and the output is a starting point rather than absolute truth.
- Data queries, manual queries and conversation
- Read-only SELECT queries
- Saved queries shared with others
Licence and prerequisites: A separate licence from the main B1UP licence, assigned to each user by an administrator
Executive ROI Value
Managers get answers from SAP Business One without waiting for a report to be written.
- Fewer report requests
- Answers in an interactive table
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
Kanban Boards show SAP objects on a board. The Production Orders board has three columns, Planned, Released and Closed (last 30 days), and a card is dragged and dropped to switch its status. Other boards cover Sales Opportunities, Service Calls and Projects, and WMS Kanbans appear with Produmex WMS 2021.12 or higher.
- Planned, Released and Closed columns
- Drag and drop to switch status
- Sales Opportunities, Service Calls and Projects
Executive ROI Value
The planner sees the status of each production order on one board and changes it with a drag.
- Order status visible at a glance
- Status changed without opening the order
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
With the SQL Report function, reports or charts are created using SQL, including collapsible reports. A SQL Report can sit on its own tab through the Tab Wizard or, for a grid report without dynamic syntax, appear as a widget on the dashboard.
- Reports and charts from SQL
- Collapsible reports
- SQL Report tabs and dashboard widgets
Executive ROI Value
The reports a team needs sit where the work happens, on the window or the dashboard.
- Reports inside SAP B1
- Less exporting to spreadsheets
Data & Documents
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
The Master Data Manager performs administration and maintenance tasks on common master data in the current database as a batch, without external tools like Data Transfer Workbench, and changes can run on a minutely, hourly, daily, weekly or monthly schedule. Mass update Lines closes several lines at once on sales quotations, sales orders, purchase requests, purchase quotations and purchase orders, the Draft Data Manager mass deletes drafts that are not part of an approval procedure, and the Authorization Manager applies authorizations to several users.
- Batch changes to master data
- Changes on a schedule
- Mass update Lines, drafts and authorizations
Licence and prerequisites: Super-users by default; schedules need the server component installed and activated
Executive ROI Value
Changes to many records are made in one batch instead of one by one.
- Bulk changes without re-keying
- Open lines closed in one step
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
A Universal Function launches Crystal Reports, and the B1P&D macro command starts a B1 Print & Delivery action such as Preview, Print, Email or PDF. PLD Extensions import and export PLD Reports to and from XML, and Letter Merge merges Business Partner Master Data into a Microsoft Word document.
- Crystal Reports launched from a function
- B1 Print & Delivery actions
- PLD Extensions and Letter Merge
Licence and prerequisites: B1 Print & Delivery actions need a B1 Print & Delivery licence for the user; the Crystal Report designer is not included
Executive ROI Value
Documents are printed, emailed or saved at the step where they are needed.
- Fewer manual print runs
- Layouts moved between databases as XML
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
B1 Usability Package consists of modules that are turned on and off, and by default all modules are disabled. Configurations are imported and exported as XML, Mass Export and Mass Import move most configurations at once, and the Company State System distinguishes the production database from the Sandbox database.
- Modules turned on and off
- Configurations moved as XML
- Production and Sandbox databases told apart
Executive ROI Value
Configurations built in one database can be moved to another, and only the modules in use are switched on.
- Only the modules in use switched on
- Live and test databases kept apart
Beas & Perfion
Operational Reality (Capabilities)
The Beas Usability Extension is used in Beas Manufacturing. With B1UP and Beas installed together, BeasFunction executes Beas-specific functions, such as an MRP calculation, and the Beas Syntax reads values of Beas screens. The Perfion Extension shows product data from Perfion inside SAP Business One and imports products through the Perfion API.
- Beas Usability Extension
- Beas functions and Beas screen values
- Perfion product data inside SAP B1
Licence and prerequisites: Beas Usability Extension: Beas 9.3 PL0 or higher; BeasFunction: Beas 2021.11 or higher; Perfion Extension: a Perfion subscription, and a B1UP user licence for each user who views Perfion data

B1UP licence. Regular B1UP licences are applied automatically when users sign in to SAP Business One, and a licence gives access to all current and future modules within the B1UP edition, with newer releases run while maintenance is current. The B1 Productivity Package adds optional modules that are purchased separately and assigned manually, and the B1 AI Assistant needs a separate licence assigned to each user. B1UP needs no special option in the SAP Business One licence.
