If you’re using the Project Management module in SAP Business One, you’ll be familiar with a column called “Stage Dependence”. But, do you know what is it and how to use it?
Stage Dependence column used to define if finishing the stage is dependent on finishing one or more other stages. If a stage is dependent on another stage, it means that you cannot finish the stage until the stage it is dependent on is finished.
