User can't reset password after manager set a temporary password

2026-02-02T06:12:58.485000+01:00

A handful of our users can't reset their password. I assign a temporary password to each and set "Change password at Next Logon". When they try to create their own new password, it says "Incorrect Password [Message 20701-3]"

SAP Business One 10.0 version for SAP HANA (10.00.181)

- Affected users were not locked.
- All other users can change their password.

Hi All,

I have created two TN's on sales order which is working fine.

Working TN:

---- Prevent addition/ update of Sales Order if DocDueDate or ShipDate is Weekend or Holiday----

/* ROW LEVEL CHECK (ShipDate) */
IF EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM RDR1 T1
WHERE T1.DocEntry = @List_of_cols_val_tab_del
AND (
DATENAME(WEEKDAY, T1.ShipDate) IN ('Saturday','Sunday')
OR CAST(T1.ShipDate AS DATE) IN (SELECT CAST(StrDate AS DATE) FROM HLD1)
)
)
BEGIN
SET @error = 1717
SET @error_message = 'Sales Order line Ship Date cannot fall on a Weekend or Holiday.'
GOTO TN_RESULT
END

/* HEADER LEVEL CHECK (DocDueDate) */
IF EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM ORDR T0
WHERE T0.DocEntry = @List_of_cols_val_tab_del
AND (
DATENAME(WEEKDAY, T0.DocDueDate) IN ('Saturday','Sunday')
OR CAST(T0.DocDueDate AS DATE) IN (SELECT CAST(StrDate AS DATE) FROM HLD1)
)

)
BEGIN
SET @error = 1718
SET @error_message = 'Sales Order Due Date cannot fall on a Weekend or Holiday.'
GOTO TN_RESULT
END

This is working fine.

However, When I consolidate these into a single TN, it doesn't work.

Is this system behavior or something missing in the code:

----------------------------

Consolidated TN not working

--------------------------------

IF EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM ORDR T0
INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
WHERE T0.DocEntry = @List_of_cols_val_tab_del
AND (
-- Weekend/Holiday check for SO Due Date
DATENAME(weekday, T0.DocDueDate) IN ('Saturday', 'Sunday')
OR T0.DocDueDate IN (SELECT H.StrDate FROM HLD1 H)

-- Weekend/Holiday check for Row ShipDate
OR DATENAME(weekday, T1.ShipDate) IN ('Saturday', 'Sunday')
OR T1.ShipDate IN (SELECT H.StrDate FROM HLD1 H)
)
AND T0.DocDueDate >= CAST(GETDATE() AS date)
)
BEGIN
DECLARE @daytype NVARCHAR(100)

SELECT TOP 1
@daytype = CASE
WHEN DATENAME(weekday, T0.DocDueDate) IN ('Saturday','Sunday')
THEN 'Weekend (Header DocDueDate)'
WHEN DATENAME(weekday, T1.ShipDate) IN ('Saturday','Sunday')
THEN 'Weekend (Row ShipDate)'
WHEN T0.DocDueDate IN (SELECT StrDate FROM HLD1)
THEN 'Holiday (Header DocDueDate)'
WHEN T1.ShipDate IN (SELECT StrDate FROM HLD1)
THEN 'Holiday (Row ShipDate)'
END
FROM ORDR T0
INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
WHERE T0.DocEntry = @List_of_cols_val_tab_del
AND (
DATENAME(weekday, T0.DocDueDate) IN ('Saturday', 'Sunday')
OR DATENAME(weekday, T1.ShipDate) IN ('Saturday', 'Sunday')
OR T0.DocDueDate IN (SELECT StrDate FROM HLD1)
OR T1.ShipDate IN (SELECT StrDate FROM HLD1)
)

SET @error = 1717
SET @error_message = 'Date cannot be on a ' + @daytype + '!'
GOTO TN_RESULT
END

Can someone please check and let me know what is missing for the consolidated TN to make it work?

Regards,

Joseph

Triggers no SAP B1

2026-02-11T13:57:28.853000+01:00

Bom dia, pessoal, tudo bem?

Possuo uma arquitetura de ingestão de dados em tempo quase real do SAP Business One (rodando em SAP HANA) para um Data Mesh no Google BigQuery, utilizando Apache Kafka como camada de streaming.

Uso como critério, os campos de UpdateDate = CURRENTDATE.

Porém, quando falamos na JDT1 (faço uma query linkando OJDT e JDT1 para pegar o UpdateDate) , temos rotinas internas que atualizam campos como BalDueDeb e BalDueCred, ou seja, essas alterações via rotinas SAP não me geram uma alteração no UpdateDate, e por consequência meu BigQuery fica com dados desatualizados/incorretos para aquele TransID.

Gostaria de saber se criar uma trigger para pegar todos meus Updates realizados na JDT1 e enviar para uma tabela de auditoria:

Seria aceito pelo SAP? O que o SAP diz a respeito de criação de triggers?
Eu poderia ter problemas futuros?
Eu geraria muito impacto em meu banco de dados? Em performance no sistema, consumo de recursos.. (a trigger seria executada a cada update e/ou insert)
Quais outras saídas posso ter?
Se eu criar uma view no meu Hana para "simular" essas alterações de BalDueDeb e BalDueCred através das baixas realizadas, resolveria meu problema?

Atenciosamente,

SAP Business One Freezes When Logging On

2026-02-13T12:22:56.064000+01:00

After upgrading SAP Business One from version 10 FP 2008 to 10 FP 2505 Hotfix 1, users are able to log in to the company database successfully. However, immediately after login, the mouse cursor keeps loading (moving) for approximately 1–2 minutes before the system becomes responsive.

This delay occurs consistently and significantly impacts usability and productivity.

Analysis Performed:

I created a separate demo company database where no SAP add-ons are installed.
Login to the demo database is completed instantly, without any delay.
Based on this comparison, the issue appears to be related to the SAP add-on EFM – Format Definition.
When the EFM add-on is present, the post-login delay occurs; when it is not installed, the login is normal.

Kindly advise on how to resolve or optimize this issue. Please let us know if, any configuration or known issue exists that could cause this post-login delay.

SAP se congela al crear Almacen

2026-02-14T03:10:05.280000+01:00

Buen día comunidad,

Tengo una situación en un proceso que me solicitaron en la empresa, al momento de crear un almacén nuevo con ubicaciones, al hacer clic en botón Crear se congela SAP inmediatamente y tengo que cerrar forzadamente.

He intentando de varias formas, creando el almacén limpiamente, duplicándolo de otro almacén existente, crear sin ubicaciones.

La única forma que me dejo crearlo fue ponerle la opción de inactivo, pero al querer quitar el cheque de inactivo y Actualizar también se congela el programa SAP. Eliminar el almacén si me permite procesarlo.

como información adicional nos conectamos por servicio RemoteDesktop, la versión de SAP B1 es la 9.3 PL12 64 bits, base de datos SQL server 2016.

NOTA: ya intente replicar el escenario directamente de una sesión remota desde el servidor de producción y sin ningún efecto.

favor de alguna solucion o pista para poder resolver este caso.

SAP Business One System Requirements for HANA and SQL Versions

2026-02-15T09:02:56.954000+01:00

Hello,

We are implementing SAP Business One (on-premise) for our clients, both HANA and SQL Server versions.

We understand that for SAP Business One on HANA, the typical minimum requirements is 64 GB RAM. It is just information. We are not aware of any clear hardware sizing guidelines. Plus, we only know certified servers list, it means we cannot install SAP Business One on other servers?

Could you please advise on the exact system requirements and sizing parameters for both versions?
Additionally, is there any official sizing template or calculator available to estimate the overall hardware requirements?

A/R Invoice Back-Date Error – “There is a document of this type with a later posting date

2026-02-16T17:43:38.966000+01:00

"Protocol not allowed" error on PDF/Preview in (KBA 3617976) SAP Business One 10.0 FP2511 HANA

2026-02-16T19:13:15.344000+01:00

Hi Everyone,

I am currently dealing with the "Protocol not allowed" error in SAP Business One 10.0 FP2511 (HANA) when users attempt to preview, print, or export documents to PDF immediately after using the Add & View mode.

The Issue: As documented in SAP KBA 3617976, the system blocks the print/preview protocol when a document is added or updated and then immediately accessed for output while still in the same view.

Current Situation: SAP has acknowledged this as a bug in FP2511 and intends to provide a fix in a future Feature Package. In the meantime, the suggested workarounds are:

Using Add & New and navigating back to the record.
Enabling Automatic Printing/PDF Export in Print Preferences.

The Challenge: The first workaround is significantly impacting user productivity in high-volume environments, and the second workaround (automatic PDF generation) isn't ideal for users who need to manually select layouts or review data before finalizing the output.

My Question to the Community: Aside from the two workarounds mentioned in the KBA, has anyone found a more seamless way to bypass this protocol error?

Is there a specific Client-side setting or UI API tweak that helps?
Has anyone found a way to "force" the protocol to refresh without navigating away from the document?
Are there any specific Windows Environment variables or Crystal Reports runtime settings that might alleviate this?

I would appreciate any creative solutions or "quick-fix" scripts that you've implemented for your clients while we wait for the official patch.

Best regards,

Sunil Patil

SBO Mailer Test Connection Failed – Server Unreachable (SAP B1 10 FP2508)

2026-02-18T10:12:26.586000+01:00

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to configure the SBO Mailer in SAP Business One 10 FP2508.

In the System Landscape Directory, I go to Job Service Configuration and enter the SMTP server, username, password, and port as required. However, when I run the test, I receive the following error:

Test result: Failed
Message: Test connection failed
Trace: Server unreachable or incorrect

The SMTP server is working normally, and the same email account is functioning correctly outside of SAP.

Is there something I might be missing in the configuration?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Showing Red Blank Error message while Updating the General Setting (Enable Transaction Notification)

2026-02-19T07:32:02.576000+01:00

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem while updating the General Settings > Enable Transaction Notification, which is showing me a red blank error message.
Version: SAP Business One 10.0 version for SAP HANA (10.00.240) SP 2402 (64-bit)
Describing the scenario, Firstly, I took a Replica from our production system. Secondly, I tried to change the company nameunder System Initialization > Company Details. While pressing update then shows me Red Blank message. Thirdly, one person suggested me to Uncheck "Enable Transaction Notification" under System Initialization > General Setting , and update the Company Name successfully. Fourthly, I tried to enable the transaction notification under the same General Setting. But this time I failed to re-enable this setting, and showing me a blank red message. Even I can't do any transaction like Purchase or Sales. I have attached the reference images. Your suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Issue with DTW Import – Unexpected Ship To Creation and Change Log Behavior

2026-02-19T09:27:24.597000+01:00

Good morning,

we are experiencing an issue with one of our customers during the mass import of Business Partner data via DTW.

Specifically, in the DTW file we are only populating the following fields: CardCode and Global Location Number.

During the upload (DTW on table OCRD), SAP, for unknown reasons, automatically creates an empty Ship To address for some Business Partners — for example, 4 out of 15 test uploads — therefore inserting a record into table CRD1.

Furthermore, when checking the SAP change log, for the Business Partners where the Ship To address has been automatically created, the system reports — with today’s date (the DTW execution date) — all the previous changes that had already been recorded in the past.

In practice, SAP appears to “repeat” in the change history, under the current date, the latest modifications previously made, in addition to the actual changes generated by the DTW upload.

Have you ever encountered a similar issue? Do you have any insight into how this behavior could occur?

It is unusual that the system writes into different tables, even when DTW is not involved. Furthermore, there are no empty rows in the import file that could explain the automatic creation of a blank record.

Thanks
Chiara
