Procedure

  1. From the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose   Administration   Add-Ons   Add-On Administration   Company Preference   tab.

    Default Group

    Defines the way this add-on is opened when SAP Business One is started.

    • Mandatory: SAP Business One starts the add-on automatically. The add-on is necessary for the successful operation of the SAP Business One application. The application launches the add-on at start-up and shuts it down if the add-on is terminated for any reason. Users cannot start or stop mandatory add-ons.

    • Automatic: SAP Business One starts the add-on automatically. Users can stop automatically started add-ons with no impact on SAP Business One. When the add-on stops, a warning message informs users.

    • Manual: SAP Business One does not start the add-on automatically. Users can start the add-on at any time. When a manually started add-on is stopped, a message informs users.
