What would your team do with extra hours every day?
That’s the question we asked as we explored SAP Business One 10.0 FP 2608. This release takes on the tasks that eat up the workday: chasing vendor quotes, reconciling accounts, building reports and printing checks. Many of them now take a few clicks, and some you can simply ask AI to handle. We’ve picked the features we think will matter most to growing manufacturers, distributors and retailers, wherever you do business. Each short video below shows one area in action.
AI Features: Ask AI & AI-Powered Queries
Get answers and build reports by simply asking in plain language.
- Ask AI, everywhere: Select records in almost any list or detail view and ask a question about them. For example, estimate shipping time and cost for the items on a sales order.
- Reusable question templates: Save your best questions and reuse them with one click from the new Ask AI app.
- Reports without SQL: Describe the report you need, such as a customer aging report, and AI writes the query for you.
- Analyze it your way: View results as lists, charts or cards, then group, sort and drill into the details.
- Your data stays yours: AI only sees business data you choose to share.
The AI features run on SAP’s Business Technology Platform (BTP) and require a one-time setup. Our team can handle the setup for you.
