Sap Business One In International Business Scenarios

Corporate ERP localization is probably coined terminology and it is important when

your organization crosses the borders of United States or Canada and opens facilities overseas. If you are using accounting application here in the USA this fact doesnt automatically means that it is available in foreign language and that it is in compliance with foreign country tax related legislation. We saw numerous situations where companies were trying to deploy Microsoft Dynamics GP for Russian, Brazilian and Chinese subsidiaries and even having several forms translated to these languages the problem with legislation compliance finally shut down the attempts. SAP B1 is localized in major world regions except probably Arabic world. Lets take a look at international deployment features and scenarios:

1.Foreign Tax Code compliance. This aspect of Corporate ERP localization is critical especially in large countries such as Brazil, China, Japan or Russian Federation. Tax compliance in basic requirements is supported and updated regularly by SAP itself. You may expect add-ons from ISV partners where additional recommended features are also available

2.Foreign Language User Interface. Here we would like to talk a bit about Unicode standard where each character is presented in two bytes. Unicode is important when you are automating hieroglyphs and this is important in Asian markets such as Korea, China and Japan. Business One supports Unicode and user interface is switchable from English to Chinese on the fly

3.The magnitude of foreign operations and ERP selection. If in the headquarters you are happy with high-end ERP solution the cost of its extension to your foreign subsidiary might be not feasible. SAP BO is in essence Small Business ERP with numerous data export options and integration with external applications including consolidated Financial Reporting. These facts make it feasible to implement Business One for oversea location in so-called spoke and hub model

4.Consolidated Financial Reporting. If you are running consolidated P&L and Balance Sheet on FRx or Microsoft Management Reporter platforms then there are two recommended approaches to include SB1 company. First approach is to export GL Trial Balance into Excel format and include Excel worksheet in Reporting Tree. Second approach suggests exporting GL Entries from Business One and importing them into GL of the shadow company created on your Corporate ERP platform in the headquarters

5.Where should we install the software? Our recommendation is central office and enabling user interface via Citrix or Terminal Server. Multinational company is built around centralized Operations, Financial and IT controls. Decent internet bandwidth is common in foreign countries
