SAP Business One 10.0 – Feature Package 2608
The Web Client takes a giant leap: more than 50 new apps – from banking and MRP to project management – AI-assisted queries with the new Ask AI feature, powerful analytics reports, and a completely redesigned Excel data import. Discover the highlights.
The Four Key Themes of This Update
AI Arrives in the Web Client
The new Ask AI feature answers context-related questions in nearly all list and detail views. AI also generates SQL statements for user-defined queries from plain-language descriptions – data analysis without SQL knowledge.
Over 50 New Web Client Apps
Banking with external reconciliation, checks for payment, MRP with forecasts and order recommendations, project management, price lists, campaigns, employees, inventory revaluation, pick lists, and much more – entire modules arrive in the Web Client.
Advanced Analytics Reports
New reports for General Ledger, Inventory Movement, Purchase Analysis, and Profit and Loss comparison – with hierarchical tables, transaction-level drill-down, flexible filters, and Microsoft Excel export.
Data Import & Printing Redesigned
Excel import with predefined templates, built-in validation, simulation mode, and resumable import sessions. Document printing gains print sequences, watermarks, automatic PDF archiving, and new Crystal Reports layouts.

Web Client
By far the largest area of this Feature Package: more than 50 new apps, AI features, advanced reports, a redesigned data import, and extensive localization enhancements bring the Web Client closer than ever to full desktop parity.
Ask AI & AI-Assisted Queries
Ask context-related questions with field placeholders in nearly all list and detail views and get immediate AI-generated answers – with reusable question templates managed in the dedicated Ask AI app. In the User-Defined Queries app, AI generates SQL statements from plain-language descriptions, with results in list, chart, and card views and batch activation of multiple queries.
Please note: these AI functions require an activated SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). Alternatively, customers can use our SAP Business One MCP integration.
New Advanced Reports
General Ledger, Inventory Movement, Purchase Analysis, Profit and Loss Statement Comparison, and the Profit and Loss Statement for all localizations.

Redesigned Excel Data Import
Downloadable templates with built-in validation and your UDFs, intelligent auto-mapping of columns, inline data correction in the preview table, a simulation mode that tests the import without writing to the database, and resumable import sessions that never lose your progress.
