Introduction
This document describes how to use additional and changed features that have been introduced to SAP
Business One 2007 A in response to legal requirements or legal changes. These features are available only
when you have installed SAP Business One 2007 A SP01.
If a feature applies to specific countries or regions, these are specified in the main section heading.
NOTE
The topics in this document add to and/or replace the corresponding information in the online
help for SAP Business One 2007 A. You can access the online help as follows:
 In SAP Business One, choose Help  Documentation  Online Help.
 Go to SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com. Choose SAP Business One  SAP

Business One 2007  your language.

SBO Mailer Signature Enhancements

The SBO Mailer is used for sending e-mails from SAP Business One.
As of SAP Business One 2007 A SP01, if you are running more than one productive company database on
one SAP Business One server, you can share one generic e-mail signature for all companies or you can
define a unique signature for some of them.
In some countries, there are legal regulations regarding unique business information that needs to appear in
the signature of all business correspondence. The SBO Mailer enhancements that are provided in SAP
Business One 2007 A SP01 enable you to create e-mail signatures that comply with these regulations.
Prerequisites
The following are mandatory prerequisites for configuring the SBO Mailer signature:
 You have installed SAP Business One 2007 A SP01.
 You have started the SBO Mailer component in SAP Business One Service Manager on your SAP
Business One server.
 You must have superuser status to create a new e-mail signature or modify an existing one in SAP
Business One. For more information, see Defining Authorizations in the online help.
For more information, see the administrator’s guide provided with SAP Business One 2007 A SP01.
Creating or Modifying E-Mail Signatures

SAP Business One 2007 A SP01 provides two e-mail signature options:
 Common – for all company databases on one SAP Business One server installation
 Company – for a specific company database
NOTE
You cannot create e-mail signatures for individual users in the Messaging Service Settings
window.
To create or modify a common or company e-mail signature:

1. Log on to SAP Business One, and choose the company whose e-mail signature you want to create or
modify.
NOTE
You must have superuser status to create a new e-mail signature or modify an existing one in
SAP Business One. For more information, see Defining Authorizations in the online help.
2. In the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Administration  System Initialization  Services
Settings  Messaging Service Settings.
3. In the Messaging Service Settings window, choose one of the following Signature To Be Used options.
You can do this either now or after entering your information in the relevant tabs that are described in
subsequent steps:
 Common

 Company
4. Enter an e-mail signature in one or both of the following:
 Common E-Mail Signature tab
Choose this tab to create or modify an e-mail signature for all the companies that are installed
on the server.
 Company E-Mail Signature tab
Choose this tab to create or modify an e-mail signature for the company you are currently
logged on to.
NOTE
If you choose this option, it does not affect the signatures of the other companies. Only the e-
mail signature on the Common E-Mail Signature tab is valid for all companies on the same
server.
On the tab you have chosen in step 4, in the text box, enter an e-mail signature having a maximum of
32,768 characters and spaces. You can use any HTML tags for formatting the text except <HTML> and
<BODY>.
5. Choose one of the following Signature To Be Used options, if you have not already done so in step 3:
 Common (the default)
 Company
6. Choose Update and then choose OK.
Upgrading from Previous SAP Business One Releases

When you upgrade from SAP Business One 2005 A, 2005 A SP01, or 2007 A to SAP Business One 2007 A
SP01, your previous settings for SBO Mailer e-mail signatures are copied automatically to the Common
database and appear in the Messaging Service Settings window, in the Common E-Mail Signature tab.
NOTE
As of SAP Business One 2007 A SP01, you can no longer access SBO Mailer e-mail signature
settings through SAP Business One Service Manager. You can access these settings using the
path provided in step 2.

Queries: Decimal Precision for Calculated Fields

In SAP Business One 2007 A, the administrator can determine the number of decimals to display and save
for each type of number.
To access the settings, from the SAP Business One Main Menu choose Administration  System
Initialization  General Settings  Display. There are separate settings for the following number types:
 Amounts
 Prices
 Rates
 Quantities
 Percent
 Units
In SAP Business One 2007 2007 A, the number of decimals for calculated fields within queries was
determined by the Amount setting, even if the fields on which the calculation was based were not amounts.
In SAP Business One 2007 A SP01, an additional setting – Decimals in query – enables you to set the
number of decimals that are displayed for calculated fields within queries.
To access the Decimals in query setting, from the SAP Business One Main Menu choose Administration 
System Initialization  General Settings  Display.
EXAMPLE
In 2007 A, the general settings for decimal precision might be as follows:
Amounts = 0
Prices = 2
Quantities = 2
A query that calculated a subtotal by multiplying price by quantity would display the calculated
field with no decimals, even though both price and quantity are to be displayed with two
decimals.
With SAP Business One 2007 A SP01, the general settings for decimal precision might be as
follows:
Amounts = 0
Prices = 2
Quantities = 2
Decimals in query = 5
A query that calculated a subtotal by multiplying price by quantity would display the calculated
field with 5 decimals, even though both price and quantity are to be displayed with two
decimals.

Queries and User-Defined Values

If a calculated field in a query is bound to a field in the user interface, the settings for the user-interface field
determine the decimal precision.
EXAMPLE
The general settings for decimal precision might be as follows:
Prices = 2
Decimals in query = 5
On the Items Master Data form, you could create user-defined values for the Base Price field
based on a query that returns a calculated value. The query returns a value with 5 decimal
places because it is calculated, but the Base Price field uses only 2 decimal places because it
is bound to a field of type price.
Queries That Return Constants

The additional setting also affects the number of decimals that are returned in a Select statement that returns
a constant.
For example, if Decimals in query is set to 3, the query statement Select 1.637436 returns 1.637.
SAP Business One Software Development Kit Changes

The additional setting for calculated fields in queries is exposed in the DI API and, therefore, its value can be
set in the code.

Converting Monetary Amounts to Text in Words: Chile

In SAP Business One Print Layout Designer, in the Properties - Field window, the Sum in Words option
enables converting a numerical monetary amount to a text version in words using Chilean Spanish. The
Latin-American Spanish words un billón (billion in English) are not used by the Chilean localization. Instead,
in SAP Business One 2007 A SP01, the Chilean-Spanish words mil millones appear in text versions of
monetary amounts, as shown in the example below.
EXAMPLE
Numerical Amount Latin-American Spanish Wording Chilean-Spanish
Wording
1.000.000.000,00 Un billón de pesos Mil millones de pesos
In addition to the above, in SAP Business One 2007 A SP01, each of the following windows contains the
Amount in Words field, where the conversion to Chilean-Spanish wording appears:
 Checks for Payment window
To open this window, choose Banking  Outgoing Payments  Checks for Payment.
 Bill of Exchange - Receivables window
To open this window, choose Banking  Bill of Exchange  Bill of Exchange - Receivables.
 Bill of Exchange - Payables window
To open this window, choose Banking  Bill of Exchange  Bill of Exchange - Payables.
Enabling the Sum in Words Option in Print Layout Designer

(PLD)
...
1. Open a sales or purchasing document.

2. In the SAP Business One toolbar, choose the Print Layout Designer icon.
3. In the Layout Designer – Selection Criteria window, select a template and choose Edit Layout.
Print Layout Designer opens.
4. In the main window on the left (the window name varies depending on which document you chose in
step 1 and which template you selected in step 3), place your cursor in the field where you want to
change a monetary value to text.
5. In the Properties window, on the Format tab, choose the Sum in Words option.
6. Save your changes.
The next time you print a document of the type chosen in step 1, the monetary amount for the field you
chose in step 4 appears in text as words.
For more information about working with SAP Business One Print Layout Designer, see the Print Layout
Designer landing page, which you can access from http://service.sap.com/smb/sbocustomer/documentation.

Examples
NOTE
In Chile, decimals are not used for local peso currency amounts; that is, peso amounts are set
to be rounded to the nearest digit. Even if the amount in words is defined for decimals, they do
not appear in transactions in pesos.
The following table shows examples of Chilean-Spanish wording of monetary amounts as they are provided
for the Chilean localization in SAP Business One 2007 A SP01.
Amount Chilean-Spanish Wording
1.000.000.000,00 Mil millones de pesos

Deferred Tax and Exchange Rate Differences: Costa

Rica, France, Guatemala, Italy, Mexico, South Africa,
Spain
If your company uses deferred tax, you report collected or paid tax according to the date on which the tax is
actually paid and not according to the date on which the marketing document is created. If the document has
been created using a foreign currency, it is likely that the exchange rates differ on these dates.
If tax is reported in the local currency at the exchange rate applied when the marketing document is settled
and not at the exchange rate applied when the document was created, the resulting differences need to be
accounted for.
Therefore, the amount of VAT or any other deferred tax calculated in the original document is only of a
provisional nature. It is not considered as the basis for the amount of tax to be paid or reported to local tax
authorities.
In 2007 A and 2007 SP01, you can post currency exchange rate differences in documents where deferred
tax is applied to an additional G/L account.
The documents relating to deferred tax are A/R and A/P invoices, A/R and A/P credit memos, and A/R and
A/P down payment invoices.
NOTE
Exchange rate differences are not liable to tax.
Activating Exchange Rate Difference Handling for Deferred Tax

Exchange rate difference handling for deferred tax can be activated at any time, but once it is activated and
transactions have been processed, it cannot be disabled. It is not activated by default for either an existing or
a new company.
Prerequisites
The deferred tax method must be in use.
To activate the deferred tax method in an SAP Business One company:
 In Administration  System Initialization  Company Details  Accounting Data, you have
determined to manage deferred tax for customers, vendors, or both.
 In Business Partners  Business Partner Master Data  Accounting  Tax, you have set up
deferred tax for each business partner.
 Since the reporting according to the deferred tax method is done by using special G/L accounts, in
Administration  Setup  Financials  Tax  Define Tax Codes:
 You have set up each tax code you want to include for deferred tax.
 You have set up a deferred tax account.
Procedure
...
1. From the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Administration  System Initialization  Company
Details  Accounting Data tab.

2. Choose the Apply Exchange Rate on Deferred Tax option.
Result
An additional G/L account, Realized Exchange Diff. Gain/Loss on Deferred Tax, is added at the company
level. Exchange rate differences from marketing documents where deferred tax is applied are posted to this
G/L account. To see this account, from the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Administration  Setup
 Financial  G/L Account Determination.
Example
An A/R invoice was created in U.S. dollars with an exchange rate of 10 Mexican pesos per U.S. dollar. This
is for one transaction row item of USD 1000 and VAT of 15% deferred (USD 150 is the tax amount). The G/L
account postings are as follows on the date the A/R invoice is created:
G/L Account U.S. Dollar Mexican Peso
(Foreign Currency) (Local Currency)
Customer (A/R) 1150 11500
Revenue 1000 10000
VAT Deferred 150 1500
When the A/R invoice is paid, the exchange rate is 11 Mexican pesos per U.S. dollar.
If the Apply Exchange Rate on Deferred Tax option is not selected, the G/L account postings are as follows:
G/L Account U.S. Dollar Mexican Peso
Cash 1150 12650
VAT Payable 150 1500
Exchange Rate Gain/Loss 1150
If the Apply Exchange Rate on Deferred Tax option is selected, the G/L account postings are as follows:
G/L Account U.S. Dollar Mexican Pesos
Cash 1150 12650
VAT Payable 150 1650
Exchange Rate Gain/Loss 1150
Realized Exchange Diff. 150
Gain/Loss on Deferred Tax

Folio Numbering: Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico

Use this function to create legal documents such as invoices and credit memos that include the fiscal
document number known as Folio.
Documents created with a Folio number have two numbers:
 The internal number defined in document numbering (see Administration  System Initialization 
Document Numbering).
 The Folio number that you can define using folio numbering function or when you create the document.

item level.
Calculation Rule:
 If you do not select the checkbox, the system applies a
threshold (Min. Taxable Amount, Max. Taxable Amount, or
Flat Tax Amount), calculates tax separately for each sales
jurisdiction present in the document, and then distributes the
tax proportionally back to the lines.
 If you select the checkbox:
 For marketing documents, the system applies a
threshold, calculates tax separately for the lines with
the same sales jurisdiction and item code, and then
distributes the tax proportionally back to the lines. (This
also applies to the freight of the line.)
 For manual journal entries, posting templates, recurring
entries, and service type marketing documents, the
system applies a threshold and calculates tax
separately for each line.
NOTE
If all lines of the fields Min. Taxable Amount, Max.
Taxable Amount and Flat Tax Amount are blank; this
checkbox is disabled. The system calculates tax
separately for each sales jurisdiction.
If freight is assigned in the header of the document,

you cannot use Single Item Tax for this freight.
Min. Taxable Amount, Displays the tiered taxable amounts and the corresponding rate(s)
Max. Taxable Amount you defined for a specific jurisdiction.
Flat Tax Amount Displays the amount of flat tax you defined for a specific jurisdiction.
NOTE
If the checkbox Single Item Tax is selected, and Min. Taxable Amount, Max. Taxable Amount,
or Flat Tax Amount is used, then you cannot do the following:
 Use the Tax on Tax function in the Sales Tax Codes – Setup window in certain cases
Even in those cases where you can use the Tax on Tax function, the application
prevents you from adding the marketing document if the tax code contains a sales
jurisdiction with thresholds assigned and if Tax on Tax is applied.
 Edit the Gross Price column in marketing documents and journal entries
In this window, the Tax Rate field is for reference only. The application determines the actual
tax rate, based on the posting date.

Fixed Assets Add-On: Germany

From January 2008, a low-value asset (LVA) is defined in Germany as an asset valued at between 150 EUR
and 1000 EUR. The Fixed Assets add-on enables you to depreciate low-value assets. You can do the
following:
 Define the depreciation type for low-value assets with the new range
 Cancel low-value asset acquisitions and deactivate the relevant low-value asset
 Retire low-value assets with three new retirement document types
In this section, value refer to net value (without tax).
Low-Value Asset Depreciation

A low-value asset is required by German law to be depreciated over five years even if the asset is sold or
scrapped within that time. A low-value asset acquired in any month of one fiscal year has to be depreciated
for the entire year.
For example, an asset valued at €600 is acquired in September 2008. It is depreciated for all 12 months of
2008 and also subsequent four years (2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012). All LVA items acquired during one
particular fiscal year are depreciated through one collective fixed-asset item.
SAP Business One enables you to depreciate low-value assets in accordance with German tax law:
This section contains the following procedures for low-value asset depreciation:
 Defining the depreciation type for a low-value asset
 Defining the fixed asset class for a low-value asset
 Creating a low-value asset
 Creating a low-value asset acquisition
 Cancelling a low-value asset acquisition document
 Retiring a low-value asset
For more information on fixed assets, see the online help on this topic.
