Working with SAP Business One Web Client

CompuTec WebClient Start is an essential tool for integrating CompuTec AppEngine plugins and extending the functionality of the SAP Business One Web Client. It connects the two systems so you can extend your ERP with more tools and features. CompuTec WebClient Start is installed during the company activation.

Step 1: Install the CompuTec WebClient Extension Package

The CompuTec WebClient Extension Package contains all plugins enabled for a specific company. Each company has its own plugin pack, so you must install it separately for every company.
