While analyzing an SAP Business One’s customer’s needs, NewIntelligence determined a requirement to budget sales by individual customer and item at the month level. It also needed aggregation by various item or customer attributes (i.e., item group, customer group, etc.). The number of combinations was difficult to manage and required significant manipulation to achieve desired results. Thus, the process would only be done annually, and budgets remained static.

With NewIntelligence’s help, the client implemented IBM Planning Analytics, enabling planning, budgeting, and forecasting from a top-down approach and leverage historical data as a foundation for upcoming budgets. The client now adjust forecasts using relative proportions with breakback capability down to the customer, item, and salesperson levels. The solution allows for use of sandboxes to test out what-if scenarios prior to committing numbers. Now budgets are tweaked throughout the year and provide an additional revised version.

Nine Line Apparel is a clothing brand manufacturer and distributor co-founded in 2012 by two brothers and U.S. Army veterans.

This session will go through the use case regarding SAP Field Service Management in conjunction with SAP Business One. We will explore a case where service intervention was required on site to repair a broken hydraulic press. In this situation, intervention takes longer than expected and partial invoicing should be done based on time and material base. On site, it was recognized that an additional technician would be required to solve software issues in the press’s software. As such, a service checklist needs to be filled out and signed digitally by the customer’s representative. Based on this flow, a detailed service report can be produced to the end customer and the back office, thus creating a complete, final invoice for service intervention.
