Press Release Body: SAP B1 increases the number of installations and implementations
across the US and, having pretty modern design and flexibility, it offers
alternative ways to traditional ERP rich modular functionality and add-ons by simply
adopting SB1 standard logic and placing certain procedures to implement industry
specific verticals. In this publication we would like to introduce cargo shipping
or transportation industry setup example. The proposed logic is available out of
the box and could be improved by SB1 queries, including additional fields into
standard reports as well as adding some custom Crystal Reports or Excel reports

1. Agent Settlement Report. It is often the case that you work with agents and
these agents are both customers and vendors. At the end of the month, or on the
timely base you are setting their customer and vendor invoices and either send them
the payment or cut the check or create credit memo if balance is negative. You
should be able to decide which transactions are ready for settlement and which
should wait the next settlement time. The result of the settlement is so-called
agent settlement report, plus you would like to have historical settlement querying
functionality
2. Agent Settlement as Internal Reconciliation for multiple business partners. This
feature is new and introduced in SB1 version 2007. What you do here is select two
business partners: one is Agent as Customer and another one is Agent as Vendor.
Internal reconciliation for multiple partners then goes into the history and becomes
the construction, linking customer and vendor docs matching, you can create either
SB1 query or use existing reconciliation reports with added fields to provide
required info
3. Sales and Purchasing Invoice details on Agent Settlement report. If you need
additional details, such as invoice lines or items, then simple way is creation
Agent Settlement Report in Crystal Reports
4. Bill of Lading Report. We recommend you to review pick and pack functionality in
SB1 to check in items into containers and consolidated shipment with House and
Master Numbers. Items packed in boxes could be good prototypes for Bills of Lading.
As Bill of Lading may vary in its form and information required, please prepare
your formalized version for further discussion with SB1 consultant
