Study on 1C typical configurations and the problem of their modification

Abstract

The article gives an overview of the 1C program structure, configurations available to Ukrainian users, the product versioning and modifications that took place over its history. It has been made a conclusion on the fact that 1c has a monopoly position in the market for accounting automation software products in the post-Soviet countries due to the fact that there are no equally sophisticated alternatives tooled for the national standards. However, it has been figured out that despite the fact that the 1c developer offers a wide range of typical and industrial configurations addressing commonly arising business needs, a variety of routine issues requires program code modification implementation. One of the most frequent changes made to a typical configuration is connected with the fact that the typical configuration standard documents do not fit companies needs. The paper addresses the algorithm of adding data and its output in the typical configuration standard form to make information display more convenient for different users (accountants, economists, management, storekeepers, logistics experts, etc) to optimize workflow.
