- [Instructor] SAP Business One is a licensed product
and there are four types of licenses.
There are three limited licenses,
the CRM, logistics and finance licenses,
which give you partial functionality.
CRM is all customer facing SAP Business One.
It includes business partners, opportunities,
accounts receivable and some inventory.
You'll be able to follow a lead,
close the sale,
get the order and build a customer.
This is the license we'll be using in this course.
Logistics is all the internal production.
This license handles accounts payable
to order raw materials,
the inventory module to store raw and finished goods,
production to handle bills and materials and work orders
along with the MRP, service and resource modules.
Finally, there is the financials.
I rarely see this license
as often the financial people need full access
to all the parts of SAP Business One.
Financials are the basic accounting
like chart of accounts and journal entries.
It includes the banking modules
and financial reporting modules of SAP Business One.
Most of the accounting, payments
and general reporting happen here.
The focus here is the CRM module,
though OEC Computers is set up for a full license
called the professional,
which has administrative access.
This will let us look under the hood
at a few things as we go along.
On any license,
the system administrator can also add security access
to grant or restrict parts of the system.
In some businesses,
a limited license is too limiting.
For example,
a custom software company
or construction company
which needs to give a bill of materials
as part of a sales proposal
would need salespeople to modify the bill of materials
which is not included in the CRM licenses.

in the course library.
Again, I'm going to be less restrictive here
so we can do more than your everyday work.
