Why this exists
The order desk is a bottleneck nobody designed
Wholesale orders arrive by phone, email, text and occasionally fax. Somebody reads them, works out whether the price is right for that account, checks whether the stock is really there, and types the whole thing into the ERP. That person is the constraint on how many orders a day the business can take, and every order passes through their attention.
A portal does not make that person faster. It removes the step, for the customers who would rather not phone anyway.
The hard part
One customer. One item. Four things decide the price.
This is why a wholesale portal cannot just publish a price list. Watch how the number is arrived at, or step through it yourself.

The journey
One order, end to end
Nothing is re-keyed and nothing waits in an inbox. The order the customer submits is the document the warehouse picks from.

Picking runs from the same document. Delivery and invoice follow it through the normal flow.
In the portal
Built for buyers who already know what they want
Wholesale ordering is not retail shopping. Most of it is repeat, most of it is urgent, and almost none of it is browsing.
Quick order
Paste the list. Fix what does not match.
Buyers who work from a spreadsheet can paste it straight in. Codes are validated against SAP Business One as they land, and anything ambiguous is flagged before the order is built rather than after it arrives.
Paste from a spreadsheet, or type
2 of 3 lines matched. Fix one to continue.
Add to orderReorder
Last week's order is usually this week's order.
Order history comes from the SAP Business One documents, so it matches what the office sees. One action turns any past order into a new one, repriced at today's prices rather than the old ones.

Customer-specific pricing
Price lists, volume breaks and special prices resolved per account, exactly as SAP Business One would resolve them on a sales order.
Account-specific catalogs
Customers see what they are set up to buy. Restricted items, contract-only products and account ranges are honoured.
Live availability
Real stock by warehouse, including what is committed and what is on order, so nobody buys something that left this morning.
Balance and credit
Account balance, credit limit, open invoices and statements, where the business wants customers to see them.
Reorder from history
Past orders become the starting point for the next one. Most wholesale ordering is repeat ordering.
Quick order
Paste a list of SKUs and quantities from a spreadsheet. No browsing for buyers who already know what they want.
Multiple account users
Several buyers under one account, with their own logins and, where required, approval before an order is submitted.
Order status
Order, delivery and invoice status pulled from the SAP Business One documents themselves rather than a separate status field.
The boundary
What the portal owns, and what SAP Business One owns
Almost everything belongs to SAP Business One. The portal owns the session and the cart, and hands the result back. That is the whole design.
Items, descriptions and units of measure
The catalog follows the item master. New products appear without a second data entry.

Live
Writes use the supported SAP Business One interfaces only. Nothing writes directly to the database, which is what keeps the system upgradeable.
Everything above moves on SAP Business One's supported interfaces, with a layer between the portal and the ERP that logs each transaction and retries the ones that fail. How the integration is built.
On a phone
Most reorders are placed standing in a stockroom
Not at a desk, not on a laptop. The ordering flow is designed for a thumb and a poor signal, because that is where it is actually used.
Saved lists
The items this account buys every week, one tap from an order.
Their price, on the phone
The same resolved price as the desktop portal, from the same SAP Business One data.
Works on a bad connection
Built light, so it loads on the warehouse Wi-Fi rather than timing out.
