Business Challenges
The client faced critical roadblocks in managing and monitoring their sales budgets effectively:
  • SAP B1 lacks built-in quality management tools: Making it difficult to enforce consistent processes across operations.
  • Manual tracking of inspection results: Introduces the risk of data entry errors and inconsistencies.
  • Absence of standardized procedures for incoming and in-process quality checks results in inefficiencies and unreliable quality control.
  • The inability to block defective items in inventory or trigger corrective actions negatively impacts product quality and operational efficiency.
  • The lack of integrated reporting for non-conformance or inspection history limits the ability to monitor quality trends and track compliance.
Business Needs
  • Automate quality inspections for:
    • Incoming goods (GRPO)
    • Production outputs
  • Capture and store inspection results and test parameters
  • Generate Certificates of Analysis (COA)
  • Provide real-time dashboards and QC reports
  • Ensure auditable records for compliance
Proposed Solution
  • Developed a custom add-on for SAP Business One using the SDK.
  • Integrated User-Defined Fields (UDFs) and User-Defined Tables (UDTs) to manage:
    • Test parameters
    • Inspection screens
    • Linked inspection triggers with GRPO and Production Orders for automation
  • Created a custom Quality Management screen to:
    • Assign inspections
    • Record results
    • Auto-evaluate against acceptance criteria
  • Applied logic to block stock based on QC status, using:
    • Bin locations
    • Batch attributes
  • Utilized Crystal Reports to generate:
    • Certificate of Analysis (COA)
    • Inspection reports
Business Success
The implemented solution transformed the client’s sales planning and tracking capabilities:
  • Fully Integrated Quality Control: A streamlined quality control process is now embedded within SAP Business One, enhancing both efficiency and accuracy.
  • Improved Data Accuracy: Accelerated inspections enable more precise data collection and validation.
  • Enhanced Traceability: Batch records and inspection logs provide greater transparency and accountability in operations.
  • Reduced Risk: The system prevents non-compliant goods from entering inventory or reaching customers.
  • Increased Visibility: Dashboards and reports offer valuable insights into quality trends and performance.
