The requirements listed in this document apply to SAP Business One software in general and are independent of
any underlying database, Microsoft SQL Server or SAP HANA.
Note that the minimum hardware requirements outlined here are just recommendations to support operational
processes at lowest level. For smooth operations, any given installation should ideally have a configuration that is
standard to the market.

Latest News
Jul 8, 2014
Guidance for maintenance of SAP Business One product versions running on Microsoft
Windows XP.
The SAP Business One Release Family 8.8 (8.8, 8.81, and 8.82) will support Microsoft Windows
XP until April 2015 when Microsoft is expected to stop customer-specific support. Until April
2015, no incompatible changes should be delivered with patches for component versions already
released on Microsoft Windows XP. Customers and partners who are in need of resolutions
specific to Microsoft Windows XP are requested to read SAP Note 1177282 - End of Support for
SAP Releases Using Microsoft Products.
1.1.1 Disclaimer
In general, only the English platform versions are supported. Platform versions in other languages are
supported as long as the issue is not specific to the platform version in a particular language.
SAP Business One will no longer provide any support statements on virtualization software as we
consider it the virtualization vendors responsibility to ensure operating system compatibility. SAP
Business One is running on virtualization software just as it is running on non-virtualized operating
system platforms.
SAP Business One will test only major versions of Microsoft's operating systems, databases and Office
software products. Service Packs delivered by Microsoft in the course of a product's lifecycle will no
longer be tested separately, but will automatically be officially supported for SAP Business One.
If you encounter an issue with any of the Microsoft product Service Packs, SAP will solve this issue on a
case-by-case basis as a bug (historically low rate of occurrence).
For inquiries concerning supported platforms, open a ticket under component SBO-CRO-PLT via the
SAP Business One Product Support page. For platform-related information specific to the SAP Business
One XL Reporter, read SAP Note 1787431.

Recommendation
For WAN connections, use the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
Citrix or WTS Client Sessions For recommended requirements, refer to Citrix or WTS documentation.

requirements.
Example:

For details, refer to the Microsoft Windows system requirements and the respective Citrix
document.
Citrix session and partner add-on use 0.25 GB per concurrent users
Each concurrent user requires 1 GB for SAP Business One + 0.25 GB for Citrix session and partner add-ons
= 1.25 GB
Total memory required is 8 GB for Windows and Citrix server + 10 concurrent users x 1.25 GB for each user
= 20.5 GB

If, for example, other applications with a high transaction volume or long reports are executed, contact your
solution provider for recommended requirements.
Network bandwidth:
Each concurrent user who is accessing Citrix or WTS sessions via WAN requires 0.5 Mbps (512 Kbps)
external bandwidth.
Example:
For 32 concurrent users, an external bandwidth of 16 Mbps is required.
Network latency, screen resolution and other factors might impact Citrix or WTS sessions. Contact your
solution provider for configuration details.
