We are a company with serveral foreign branches of a European parent company, using SAP Business One accounting system. We are currently using seperate SAP databases for each branch which is not efficient and would like to utilise the branch accounting functionality within SAP, if appropriate. This job is split into 2 phases. If you can demonstrate you have sufficient knowledge of the branch functionality in phase 1 then this will lead to phase 2 which would be the implementation of what you have proposed in phase 1.
Phase 1 - is to prepare an overview of your advice which would include the following
- your background and experience of SAP Business One including your knowledge and experience of branch funcionality and when and how you have set up branches within SAP Business One
- The steps that are required to turn on branch functionality and how much effort would be required
- When it is and when it isnt approriate to use branch functionality
- What are the risk factors and what could go wrong
- How to transfer a branch from an existing seperate SAP database to a branch of the parent entity and the steps involved
- What are the advantages/disadvantages of using branch functionality
- If we decide to proceed with implementing use of branch functionality, how you could assist with phase 2 of the project
Phase 1 is a relatively short piece of work in which you will demonstrate your experience and knowledge and the above deliverables. The output should be a document, probably less than 10 pages. Please quote for producing this document. If you do not have experience of using branch functionality in SAP Business One, do not quote for this job. Thank You.
