  SAP Business One provides some special functions for Check for Payment, ranging from the definition of a House Bank Account to printing a batch of Checks for Payment. These are the Top 3 Questions we see in SAP Business One Support about printing Checks for Payment. Question 1: How do you print Checks for Payment if the checking account is locked? SAP Business One will not allow you to print a check when another user is accessing the checking account. The Check Printing will be locked at that time. Sometimes the lock is not released, and if you try to print the Check for Payment, you will see the message ‘You cannot print checks while another user is accessing this checking account’. To release the lock, complete the following step: Under   Administration   →   Setup   →   Banking   →   House Bank Accounts , deselect   Lock Checks Printing   for the relevant bank accounts. Question 2: How can you set default print layout for your Checks for Payment? When you open the Check for Paymen

 Why does production variance (total variance) occur? What happens to the total variance when you close the production order? If there is a difference between the value of the issued components and the received products, this results in production variance, which is referred as total variance in the application. Production variance often occurs because of the following: 1. Component overconsumption: The quantity of components consumed in production was greater than planned, which causes a negative variance. 2. Component savings: The quantity of components consumed in production was less than planned, which causes positive variance. 3. "Receipt before issue" scenario: The receipt from production is added before the issue for production. In this scenario, the product cost is based on the product cost estimation, which is derived from: a) The current production order structure (in other words, the list of production order components along with their planned quantities). b) The c

Symptom   Fixed Asset Master Data Import does not import all of the fixed assets, or fails to import Solution  If not all of the fixed assets are imported by the Fixed Assets Master Data Import, you can check the log file for more information. The log file is located in a subdirectory called "SAP Business One Log" that can be found in the temp directory. To access the temp directory, open Windows Explorer and enter "%temp%" in the Address field.  You may find one or more lines beginning with, for example: [date time] BA ER CBAMasterDataTransfer::CBAMasterDataTransfer. The error message and the incorrect data are then added to this initial string. To find out what is wrong in the log file, the following is a diagnosis of the problem from system messages: a) "Import End; Number of imported asset: 0; Number of processed assets: 0; Error:             1". Reason: It is usually due to format error. b) "Import End; Number of imported assets: 0; Number of pro
