SAP Business One Reseller Chicago, Atlanta Newsflash: DB Structure Notes by Andrew Karasev

If you have implemented SAP B1 and now have phase two integration with legacy system or external CRM application needs, then you should first research SAP Business One Data Transfer Workbench and its ODBC integration options. This publication should ideally help you with your SAP Business One consultant, VAR or technology partner selection. If you need advanced integrating application with custom screens, you should consider developing in C# or VB.Net with SAP Business One SDK gateway to your SB1 server. Let's come to technology highlights:

1. SB1 Workbench. You probably heard from SAP Business One consultants the convenient way to move your legacy ERP application objects to SAP Business One. All you need to do is to fill our Excel CSV templates and they will be integrated via Workbench. However this is not the whole story - in fact, Workbench could serve you as ongoing integration tool, where you schedule integrations in DOS Batch file by calling Workbench with the parameter of saved integration setup CML file

2. SQL Views. If you want to prepare your records for integration automatically, consider switching from Excel CSV templates to ODBC integration in Workbench, where ODBC connects to SQL complain database with prepared SQL view - it could be Oracle, MS SQL Server, Pervasive SQL, Microsoft Access to give you flexibility idea

3. SB1 tables structure. In SDK you can research the structure, however when you need to prepare your Workbench integration, the best idea is to look up relevant tables and their contents in SB1 MS SQL Server company database. In SB1 View->System Information - this will give you table, form and field info in left lower corner. Try this - open Inventory->Item Master Data and place the cursor over the field to the right of the Item Number - you should see the table name is OITM and the field name is ItemCode. Please continue your discovery, if you need help, let us know
