OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Growing manufacturers often reach a point where spreadsheets and basic accounting software can no longer keep up. Production is planned on whiteboards, stock levels are uncertain, and nobody is quite sure what each product really costs to make.

SAP Business One brings production into the same system as sales, purchasing, inventory and finance. Bills of materials define what goes into each product, production orders track what is being made, and material requirements planning (MRP) shows what to buy and when, based on real orders and forecasts.

Because Business One is a single system, manufacturers get one version of the truth: sales, purchasing, stock and finance are always in step, and reports come from live data rather than spreadsheets assembled at month end. Managers can see margins, stock and cash without waiting for someone to prepare them.

Webtel implements SAP Business One with a practical, phased approach. We start with the processes that matter most, use standard features wherever possible and add industry add-ons only where they clearly pay back. Your key users are involved from the first workshop, so the system fits how your team actually works.

CAPABILITIES

What Business One Covers

Bills of materials

Production orders

Issue materials, report output and track work in progress.

MRP

Plan purchases and production from orders and forecasts.

Product costing

See material, labour and overhead costs per product.

COMMON CHALLENGES

What Usually Gets in the Way

These are the issues we see most often. Each one is planned for from the start, so it does not surface in the week before go-live.

01

Unknown product costs

Costs are estimated, so pricing and margins are uncertain.

02

Stock surprises

Materials run out, or too much is bought, because stock data is unreliable.

03

Manual planning

Production plans live in spreadsheets that are hard to keep current.

04

Weak traceability

It is hard to trace a batch from supplier to customer.

AT A GLANCE

What SAP Business One Covers

SAP Business One is SAP's ERP for small and mid-sized companies. It brings the core of the business into one system, so every department works from the same, up-to-date information.

Finance

General ledger, banking, VAT, budgets and reporting.

Sales & CRM

Quotes, orders, invoices, opportunities and service.

Purchasing

Requests, purchase orders, receipts and supplier invoices.

Inventory

Stock, warehouses, batches, serials and pricing.

Bills of materials, production orders and MRP.
