Alerts in SAP Business One
![[Translate to English:] Alarmmeldungen](/fileadmin/_processed_/2/4/csm_magazin_alarmmeldungen_e4f23c7b94.webp "[Translate to English:] Alarmmeldungen")
Jens DemutIn many areas of a company, important tasks arise precisely when certain conditions occur. To ensure that these are not overlooked, it is worth monitoring information automatically. SAP Business One supports you in this with alerts that detect relevant events and immediately inform your team.
If, for example, you want your SAP Business One solution to automatically notify you when certain conditions are met, then alerts are the perfect solution.
SAP Business One comes with preconfigured alerts such as credit limit deviation or discount deviation.
Of course, you can also create your own alerts. The implementation is very simple:
- If there is not yet a suitable query in your SAP Business One, you simply create a new one via the query wizard or the query manager (to be found under Extras\Queries). This query must contain the necessary parameters so that an alert can be triggered later.
- When the query is ready, select the alarm functions in your SAP Business One menu under Administration. There you can open the previously created query (e.g. due service contracts) and set the rules for the alarm. Individual or several persons can be defined as recipients. If you tick the Internal box, the alarm message will appear in SAP Business One within the alarm window. In parallel, you can also be informed by e-mail. In the meantime, we no longer consider SMS and FAX to be relevant, but they would also work.
In order to always have an overview of the alerts, you can set up an alarm widget on your desktop in both SAP versions (MS SQL and SAP HANA).
