Setting up your system

- [Instructor] SAP Business One is not optimized for demonstrating how to use it. In default display it's very difficult to read on a video. I'm going to make a few changes to my screen and if you want your screen to match closer to mine you can do so too. I'm going to go up to the personal settings up here, and I'm going to click that and go to Display. And I'm going to go over here to Font, I'm going to go down here to Ariel Narrow. And then I'm going to pick a font size of 16. Scroll down here and hit Update. And that says it's successfully done, and you can close that up. And that gets you a nice size, but you'll notice this is not the best way to use SAP Business One on a day-to-day, standard reports get messed up a little bit. And you've got lots of scroll bars everywhere, like this one. You're better off with the nine or 10 point Tahoma, but like I said, for video this works very well. If you have a new copy of OEC Computers you may also get a message about posting periods. It's an old database, and no one has opened the posting periods in several years, probably back as far as 2012. Take a look at the course SAP Business One Essential Training, or talk to your controller accounting department to set this up for the proper periods if you're getting that message. Speaking of old, OEC has been around a long time without any current entries. You may want to go into the production module and sales order and put some extra entries in. So for example, I'll go over here to Sales Order. Then I'll go over down here to Name, put in huli, and we get the Huli Pizza Company, and give them a delivery date of the 31st. Go down here to the item, and I want you to pick a special item, and we'll talk more about it later, but that's the lm4029 printer. This is one of the few items with a bill of materials that doesn't have any extra work with identifying serial numbers, so it's a good one to pick for this. And then you can go ahead and add that. And I'm going to do the same thing over here. I'm going to scroll all the way down to Production, and I'm going to make a production order. And I'm going to do an lm4029 again. And I'm going to make a plan quantity 30. You can see my plan quantity changes. And my due date will be, we'll put it a little further out, and I will make it September for my due date, like that. Okay, go ahead and save that record. You can add some more records if you'd like, but that should be enough. And I'll go ahead and update that, say yes. And I've updated a production order. And then you're ready to go.
