Wish to implement SAP Business One in your organization but now knowing how SAP Business One will handle the financial accounting processes?
Well, let’s understand how SAP Business One ERP can help small and medium-sized businesses with its accounting and management tool to get the best business results.
Every business transaction is recorded in the company’s books, which allows them to manage their company effectively with the option of producing financial reports to report the transaction to the authorities. All the business transactions result in a value exchange. A certain accounting increases value while the other decreases value resulting in the recording of balancing credit side and debit side postings.
In a standard sales process, the documents that create automatic journal entries are delivery, A/R Invoice, incoming payments, and deposits. In SAP Business One, a journal entry is automatically posted for many documents during sales, purchasing, and inventory processes.
