Document Header Fields

The universal marketing-document header fields shared by every SAP B1 sales and purchasing document โ€” CardCode, dates, totals, status, and the copy-chain links.

Goods Receipt

A manual stock increase with no purchase order behind it โ€” inventory rises and posts to an offset account, against a warehouse and never a business partner.

SAP Document goods_receipt
Incoming Payment

A customer payment received and allocated against open A/R invoices โ€” cash rises, the customer's receivable clears, and the applied invoices close.

SAP Document incoming_payment
Master Data

Business partners, items, warehouses, chart of accounts, price lists, payment terms, and tax codes โ€” the master data every document depends on, and the dependency chain that must exist before any flow can run.

SAP Flow business_partner item warehouse chart_of_accounts price_list payment_terms tax_code
Purchase Quotation

A request for a price from one or more suppliers โ€” the head of the purchasing chain. No stock, no G/L effect.

SAP Document purchase_quotation
Sales Quotation

A non-binding price offer to a customer โ€” the first document in the sales chain. No stock, no G/L effect.

SAP Document quotation
The SAP Business One Mental Model

Every business action creates a document, and every document answers four questions โ€” who, what, how much, and what effect.

Document Line Fields

The DocumentLines fields on every SAP B1 marketing document โ€” item, quantity, price, warehouse, tax, and the line-level BaseType/BaseEntry/BaseLine copy chain.

Goods Issue

A manual stock decrease with no sales document behind it โ€” inventory falls and posts to an expense account, against a warehouse and never a business partner.

SAP Document goods_issue
Order to Cash

The sales document chain from quotation to customer payment โ€” each step's status, its stock and GL effect, and how Norma automates it.

SAP Flow quotation sales_order delivery invoice credit_memo incoming_payment
Outgoing Payment

A payment made to a vendor and allocated against open A/P invoices โ€” cash falls, the vendor payable clears, and the applied invoices close.

SAP Document outgoing_payment
Purchase Order

A binding commitment to a supplier to buy goods or services. No stock, no G/L effect โ€” but it drives MRP and starts the three-way match.

SAP Document purchase_order
Sales Order

The customer's commitment to buy โ€” may commit (reserve) stock, but posts no G/L entry. The hub of the sales chain.

SAP Document sales_order
The Document Chain and How Documents Reference Each Other

How SAP B1 documents copy from one another through BaseType, BaseEntry, and BaseLine, and how the open/closed status keeps a chain reconciled.

Business Partner Fields

The BusinessPartners master fields in SAP B1 โ€” CardCode, CardType (customer/supplier/lead), currency, payment terms, credit limit, addresses, and contacts.

Delivery

The physical shipment of goods to a customer โ€” reduces stock immediately and posts COGS under perpetual inventory.

SAP Document delivery
Goods Receipt PO (GRPO)

Records the physical receipt of goods from a supplier. Increases stock and posts the GRNI accrual โ€” the received leg of the three-way match.

SAP Document goods_receipt_po
Journal Entry

A manual, balanced posting straight to the general ledger โ€” debit and credit lines against G/L accounts, with no business partner and no item.

SAP Document journal_entry
Procure to Pay

The purchasing document chain from purchase order to vendor payment โ€” the three-way match, GRNI, the GL effect of each step, and how Norma automates it.

SAP Flow purchase_quotation purchase_order grpo ap_invoice purchase_return ap_credit_memo outgoing_payment
Service Layer Basics

What the SAP Business One Service Layer is โ€” OData entities over HTTP โ€” and how Norma talks to it to read and write documents.

Stock Transfer

Moves stock from one warehouse to another โ€” quantity leaves the source and arrives at the destination with no net change in inventory value and no business partner.

SAP Document stock_transfer
A/P Invoice

Records the supplier's bill and the payable owed. Clears the GRNI accrual and books Accounts Payable โ€” the billed leg of the three-way match.

SAP Document ap_invoice
A/R Invoice

The customer billing document โ€” creates the legal claim and posts the G/L entry (Accounts Receivable, Revenue, VAT).

SAP Document invoice
Inventory & Warehouse

Stock movement types, valuation methods, warehouses and bins, the counting process, and each movement's accounting effect โ€” plus how Norma reads and moves stock.

SAP Flow grpo delivery goods_receipt goods_issue stock_transfer inventory_counting return purchase_return
Item Fields

The Items master fields in SAP B1 โ€” ItemCode, ItemType, the sales/purchase/inventory flags, per-warehouse stock (ItemWarehouseInfoCollection), prices, and valuation method.

Codes and Enums

SAP B1 coded-value reference โ€” the DocObjectCode / object-type table (oOrders=17, oInvoices=13, โ€ฆ), BoStatus, BoYesNoEnum, and document-type enums used in Service Layer filters.

Finance & Banking

How operational documents feed the general ledger, the standard journal entry per document type, A/R and A/P aging, payments, bank reconciliation, dimensions, and the period close โ€” plus how Norma reads the books.

SAP Flow invoice ap_invoice delivery grpo incoming_payment outgoing_payment journal_entry
Purchase Return

Sends received goods back to a supplier. Decreases stock and reverses the GRNI accrual โ€” the mirror of a Goods Receipt PO.

SAP Document purchase_return
Sales Return

The reversal of a delivery โ€” goods come back from the customer and stock increases. The physical counterpart to a delivery.

SAP Document return
A/P Credit Memo

Reverses the value of an A/P Invoice โ€” the supplier credits money back. Reduces Accounts Payable; may also decrease stock.

SAP Document ap_credit_memo
A/R Credit Memo

Reverses the value of an A/R Invoice โ€” credits money back to the customer and unwinds the receivable and revenue.

SAP Document credit_memo
A/R Down Payment

An advance payment request against a future invoice โ€” the customer pays up front, before goods or the final invoice.
