Intelligent Back 2 back provides enhanced functionality to the standard SAP Business One
back-to-back Sales to Purchase Order process that will allow users to handle real world scenarios and
improves the link between the Sales and Purchase elements of the
process
Create a Sales Order
Within SAP Business one, users create a Sales Order as usual. But, pending the options selected,
the user can automatically get a default cost price; define a cost price; and have Purchase Order creation
activated automatically.
When cost prices are defined, these prices will automatically update the GP base price which is
the basis for the standard Gross Profit calculation function.
Default cost price calculation can be based on a set margin on retail price; last purchase
price; defined Item cost; or user defined.
The cost price field will work with multi currency and will allow you to retain a record of the
original foreign currency cost price you had defined

Generate a Back 2 back Purchase
Order
When the Sales Order is saved, the standard ‘Generate Purchase Order’ screen will appear.
But a number of enhancements will be available to users.
Purchase Price taken directly from the defined cost price on the Sales Order – also in foreign
currency. And a suggested purchase quantity that is equal to the quantity not in stock – instead of the full
quantity on the sales order.
Update & change Purchase Orders – effect
on Sales Orders
To be able to handle real-world situations, additional features have been created that will
allow the user to deal with different scenarios.
Users can split Purchase Order lines and quantities into two –or multiple Purchase orders in the
case of staggered deliveries and other scenarios.
Users can also generate a Purchase Order to a different supplier on the basis of the original
Purchase Order. All of this can be done without losing the link to the original Sales Order.

Users can also update Pricing on the Purchase Orders, and allow it to update back to the
original Sales Order cost price and GP calculation. In this way they can achieve real costing for their Sales
Orders
