Class objective(s) (learning outcomes)

This subject re-enforces the lessons learnt in subject "Integration Management with SAP R/3: An Introduction to Logistics and Controlling (VK IV)" , resp.

A complex case study is implemented by students in project groups of 2-3 students, which combines accounting, production, and logistics processes of a manufacturing company.

Prerequisites according to degree program

SBWL Produktionsmanagement:
Integration Management with SAP R/3: An Introduction to Logistics and Controlling (VK IV)

Teaching and learning method(s)

Master data for the MRP process: Implementation of the organizational structure, materials master and material planning , product structure, cost centre planning and work centres, linkage between cost accounting and production/logistics, work centres and their capacity, routings.
MRP and accounting: Deriving sales projections and primary requirements, MRP, planned production orders and purchase requisitions, customizing the MRP process, linking MRP to accounting.
Procurement logistics and accounting: Master data in procurement, information records, processing the purchase requisitions produced by the MRP run and deriving purchase orders; delivery and billing of the items ordered.
Production planning and control: Entering and checking production orders, lot splitting/summarizing, capacity planning and smoothing; process-oriented customizing with respect to scheduling, availavility check, calculation schemes, and order execution/confirmation.
Sales logistics and revenue accounting: Selling items, price determination, accounting, inventory management, customer management (credit limit, customer-specific discounts, etc.).
Specific Teaching Strategies:
Interactive, problem-based lectures and seminars will demonstrate the linkages between concept and practise for the above-mentioned processes through illustrating in real-time how these matters can be implemented in SAP R/3. Entity Relationship Models for master data entry and Event-driven Process Chains (EPCs) for operational processes will help students to navigate through the R/3 system and to see the link between the concept to be implemented and the actual information system. The students will prepare a case study which combines the production, logistics, and the project-oriented processes of an industrial company.
