💲 Comprehensive Discount Integration
The B2B Portal now applies the full range of SAP Business One discounts, including:
- Special Prices for Business Partners (SP).
- Discount Groups (DG).
- Period and Volume Discounts (PV).
- Price Lists (PL).
This setup uses Business Partner-specific rules to determine how discounts are applied, helping you deliver the right price at the right time to boost customer satisfaction and sales.
🧮 Discount Priority and Calculation
Discounts follow SAP Business One’s pricing structure, applied in this order:
- Special Prices have the highest priority when active.
- Period and Volume Discounts and Discount Groups are applied based on item, customer, or group settings.
- Price Lists are used when no other discounts apply.
Depending on Business Partner settings, the system calculates either the lowest or highest price based on what’s most appropriate, helping you offer competitive pricing while driving increased sales opportunities.
📊 Real-Time Discount Information
Instant visibility into available discounts in the Product Catalog and Choose Product screens helps you drive more sales by clearly showing customers the best available deals:
- A green icon indicates available discounts.
- Clicking the icon opens a pop-up showing the Effective Price (current price) and the Possible Effective Price (after additional discounts).
The pop-up also displays Period and Volume discounts, offering customers a clear view of how much they can save, encouraging larger purchases and faster decision-making.

🔗 Customizable Product
Catalog Structure
The B2B Portal now offers a new Custom Categories mode, allowing businesses to manage their product catalog with more flexibility. This helps customers find what they need faster, leading to quicker checkouts and increased sales.
While the standard SAP Business One Item Groups structure remains available, businesses can also create custom product categories based on User Queries.
This flexibility allows for tailored product groupings, making it easier to highlight promotions, best-sellers, or seasonal items, providing more control over how products are categorized and displayed.
- Category Displays a tile-based layout of categories or group titles, with featured products, ensuring customers can quickly locate what they’re looking for.
- Product Selection Page: Products are shown based on the selected category, with filters available to further refine the selection, enhancing the overall user experience.
🛠️
Flexible Admin Control
We’re excited to introduce a new Admin Panel toggle, allowing you to switch between Item Groups and Custom Categories, giving you greater flexibility in organizing your catalog to match your business needs.
Custom categories can include nested groups or a simple flat list, with each category assigned a custom name, description, image, and dynamic parent-child relationship, making it easier for your customers to navigate.
🔍
Advanced Filtering Options
Categories can support unlimited custom filters based on OITM fields, including User-Defined Fields (UDFs).
These filters, presented as checkboxes in the sidebar, help customers quickly find what they need, improving decision-making and making their shopping experience more intuitive and satisfying

By-Products Management
You can now fully manage by-products in the Production Terminal, giving you more command and helping you diversify your revenue streams.
By-products added to a Production Order (PdO) with a negative quantity can be received directly into stock, turning potential waste into sellable inventory. This process mirrors component issuing but results in a Goods Receipt, allowing you to efficiently track and manage by-products.
🔁
Multiple Instances
of the Same Route
The Production Terminal now supports multiple instances of the same route in a Production Order, giving you greater control and simplifying production
Before, the stages were merged, which meant users lost visibility of the routes. Now, stages are displayed separately with unique identifiers (e.g., Packaging – Instance #1, Packaging – Instance #2) to deliver users more control over repeatable production processes.
🖊️
Text Lines Support
We’ve updated the Production Terminal to permit text lines to be added to match the functionality in SAP Business One.
This enables users to input instructions or other important information directly in the production order, improving communication and accuracy in production.
🎨
Visual Enhancements
The Production Terminal interface has been developed and improved with color-coded rows:
- Manual items are green.
- By-products are orange.
- Backflushed items remain uncolored.
Additional hints and indicators for row colors and negative quantities are also included to aid users in quickly understanding the production order status.
