ActiveX integration (SAP Business One)
SAP has developed the low-price solution SAP Business One (SBO) that gives small and midsize
businesses (SMBs) an immediate and complete view of their business operations and customers. It is
developed for small companies that require less complex industry-specific functionality from SAP IT
solutions.
Different third-party software solutions exist that act as an interface between SBO and NiceLabel
software. The 3
rd
party solution links both applications. Such solution can be an ActiveX component
activated on an HTML page. The application acts as an additional window of SBO. On one end the
application uses direct access to the SBO database in order to retrieve the desired data. On the other
end it employs NiceLabel's ActiveX interface to activate it as a label printing server.
Such approach with 3
rd
party application allows the user to use all the powerful functions of NiceLabel
software in designing and printing the label. When the user selects the print command in such third-
party solution the application obtains the necessary data for the label from the SBO system and
transfers the data to NiceLabel to print the label.
For more information about ActiveX integration please refer to the ActiveX Programming Guide
which can be downloaded from NiceLabel website
www.nicelabel.com.
