Sidebar in SAP Business One

SAP Business One is an ERP system which not only collects data, but also analyzes data to help you make decisions. In the dashboard users can select the KPIs that they are interested in and get real-time exact information based on the data SAP Business One collected. But data analysis can also show on the side of documents as seen below.
