Questions on Features
Q: Does the product have an offline mode?
A: No, and the complex nature of SAP B1 makes offline somewhat pointless anyway. But we do offer an encrypted cloud-based connection, that will allow access while on the road as long as you can get a 3G/4G/5G/WiFi/other connection, which given the rapidly expanding coverage of such technologies should suffice in most cases.
Q: Does the product have any data ownership?
A: No. The multi-database system prevents us from adding it.
Q: How do settings in authorizations in SAP influence what you can see in the ribbon in outlook? A: CRM for Outlook has its own permission tree controlled in the cloud (The SAP permissions do not fit well enough).
