It enables you to expand Business One processes, adapting them to your company’s internal processes. This means simplifying both the system’s usability and your daily activities.
coresuite customize has a modular structure which enables you to create new functions very simply or add predefined functions.
coresuite customize captivates with individual functions such as the defining of required fields, the coloring and redesigning of masks as well as the invoking of functions. Your own extensions can be created and applied directly. With these adjustments the user can manage his day-to-day work easier, safer and more productive. coresuite customize is divided into different modules, which can be activated or deactivated at any time.

Features:
Optimizer
With the module Optimizer, you can log into any SAP® event and react accordingly. Possible events are for example “leave a text field“, „add a document“, „switch between data”, “close the window” etc. If such an event has been triggered the desired function can be realized. A field can be controlled, filled in, displayed and compared. When creating a function, there is the possibility to react by either code (VB.Net or C#), SQL or RegEx.
For functions with code, an integrated code editor is available. This helps writing code fragments with code completion and syntax control. SQL queries can be put on the data bank, either to check values or to read and write back values into a specific fie RegEx is the short form for regular expression. With this string it is possible to check specific values. There are predefined control strings available as templates.
Designing your own input masks.
To allow you to establish your masks individually, each text field can be displaced or even hidden, if it is not needed. Changing the tab sequence, adding your own separators and additional information fields makes it possible to design forms that fully meet the client’s expectations.
To each user his personal extensions.
All coresuite customize functions can be individually activated or deactivated for each user through administration rights.
Program your own functions.
You can program your own functions very easily with the coresuite editor.
Connecting to other coresuite modules.
Diversity of possibilities makes it possible to create combinations with other coresuite modules. Initiating printing jobs with coresuite designer, using coresuite time to dispatch service calls marked „for invoicing“ or importing/exporting company data with coresuite connector are but a few examples.
The functions button.
The functions button is an important element of coresuite customize. An endless number of functions can be added to it, such as creating emails directly from SAP® Business One, sending SMS, updating currency from a webservice or starting external programs.
Import/export.
It is possible to import and export individual rules with a few simple mouse clicks. Applying previously created functions from an existing solution to a new system is absolutely no problem. For example, the ones that can be imported are made available on the coresystems AG website.

Advantages.
The major problem with standard solutions is their rigidity and inflexibility. This is precisely where coresuite customize enters the scene. Thanks to the possibility of adapting SAP® processes to internal company processes simply by creating rules, without expensive additional programming, SAP® Business One can quickly be adjusted to the client’s needs. This improves software handling, as the module is already integrated in SAP® Business One, and automatically leads to a higher degree of client satisfaction.
