What is SAP Business One?
SAP Business One is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system specifically designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It provides a comprehensive set of functions and tools to help businesses organize and improve all aspects of their daily operations.
SAP Business One integrates information and processes within the company, ranging from sales and purchasing to inventory management, as well as human resources management, accounting, and financial reporting. The system also enables data analysis and the creation of detailed reports to assist companies in making informed strategic decisions.
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, connecting human resources management systems with other systems has become essential to ensure operational efficiency and easy access to data.
Integrating the Jisr system and SAP Business One is one of the crucial links that facilitates the work of human resources departments and saves time and effort.
Enabling integration helps reduce manual tasks involved in processing daily entries by the finance departments. Instead of creating and sending entries manually, the process of creating and sending entries is automated from the Jisr system to the SAP accounting account.
Note 1: The integration is only done with the SAP Business One system, not with the SAP S4HANA system.
Note 2: It is recommended to have a knowledgeable employee who has an understanding of adding the necessary settings to integrate the SAP accounting account with the Jisr system.
Jisr provides integration with SAP Business One in both cloud and on-premises versions.
Supported SAP Business One versions to integration process (as of 2023):
