Guide - B1UP comparison with SAP B1 Screen design

B1 Usability Package has many modules and features. Among them is our Item Placement Tool (IPT) or in other words our Screen Design Tool.

The Item Placement Tool (IPT) gives you the ability to rearrange all data on any window in SAP Business One and completely tailor SAP screens to your business.

The amount the many features are the following:

  • Move and hide any field in any window.
  • Create a linked arrow with a customer behavior
  • Change text and background color to labels and fields.
  • Create valid values for fields from SQL query or user list
  • and much more

SAP Business One 10 version included new screen design options which are also included in the B1 Usability Package. However, those additional features are very minimal and basic in capabilities compared to what the Item Placement Tool can offer today.
