SAP Business One now provides Style West with views into their inventory across multiple divisions, tracking all transactions from order to cash. Check out their story.

When I was in college I had a professor, Mauricio, ask me what I wanted to do when I graduated. I loudly and enthusiastically exclaimed that I was going to be a Project Manager for a software consulting company. I remember him saying "Why in the world would you want that job? A software PM is a person responsible for everything in a project with no control over any of the project resources! You should TEACH people how to Project Manage instead." Admittedly, now that I'm living my dream at 5 AM when a client inevitably has a question or runs into a workflow that I never thought of (i.e. I've trained my pet terrier to make blog posts - can you make it so the web pages post with everything translated into audio for small dogs?) I sometimes wish I had decided to take his path instead.

In this post, we'll see how to run a report automatically for the pevious days sales. This is a very cool report that allows small businesses to get a clear grasp on how their business is doing on a day to day basis. Often used by business owners to keep up on their company, this type of report provides on-going visibility into operations that only SAP Business One and XLR can provide the small business.  Check out this post on how to do just that with SAP Business One and XL Reporter.
