Active accounts you associate with category (such as Balance Sheet->Cash for instance), categories as you can see allow you to build P&L, BS and Cash Flow reports automatically.

Comparison report allows you not only compare two different periods, but also compare two different companies, which is not what you commonly find in other ERP packages5. Collection management. In SB1 you have up to 10 levels of dunning or collection letter formats, which you can setup for the delinquent account in sequence of collection attempts. Collection management is not a separate module, it is integrated in Financials, as Financials itself is tightly integrated with Business Partners section, where customers are.6. Multicurrency. This functionality is really on the advanced level, comparing to other small business MRP packages in US. This is probably attributable to the fact, that SAP Business One is very popular in international environment. Multiple versions of currency revaluations are very impressive.
