Class objective(s) (learning outcomes)

Every student implements the business case in a separate virtual company in SAP ECC. Students perform all steps which have to be implemented also in a real-world implementation project:

- Cost accounting - planning cycle: Implementation of cost accounting for a production environment, implementation of the value flow in a company (allocations, surcharges, activity inputs) in SAP ECC.
- Master data for the MRP process: organizational structure, materials master and material planning, product structure, cost centre planning and work centres, linkage between cost accounting and production/logistics, work centres, initialization of capacity planning, definition of routings.
- Sales projections and primary requirements.
- Procurement logistics and accounting: Master data in procurement, 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, availability check, calculation schemes, and order execution/confirmation.
- Cost accounting - actual costs: Production and procurement activities create actual costs enabling plan/actual analyses.
- Sales logistics and revenue accounting: Order processing, price determination, inventory management, customer management.

In all steps, students are confronted with a business case and have to implement the case in SAP ECC, that is, the system has to be customized to the given case.

Prerequisites according to degree program

"Integration Management with SAP ECC: Implementation Project I" (Kurs V) has to be attended subsequently in the same semester.

Bachelor SBWL Produktionsmanagement:
Studierende, die Kurs I und II schon positiv absolviert haben, werden bevorzugt aufgenommen.

Diploma program WiWi-Management Science: see http://www.wu.ac.at/programs/for/students/linksdownloads/download/studienplaene/wiwi_v1.pdf

Teaching and learning method(s)

Content:
Understand the implementation of Production and logistics in an ERP system and its integration into management accounting.
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 ECC. Entity Relationship Models for master data entry and Event-driven Process Chains (EPCs) for operational processes will help students to navigate through the ECC system and to see the link between the concept to be implemented and the actual information system.

In case of restricted admission; selection criteria

For exchange (ZAS) and CEMS students an entrance exam will be required, please check out http://prodman.wu.ac.at for details.

The subject of the entrance exam on Oct. 4, 2010 will be Entity Relationship Modeling and Event-driven Process Chains. For a Web-based trainer with solutions, see the ERM/EPC Web trainer.

IMPORTANT: This entrance exam only concerns CEMS and exchange students. Students in a WU program are subject to the sequencing criteria of their resp. course program.

Criteria for successful completion

IMPORTANT NOTE: The case study is structured, so that NO absence can be tolerated. If you miss one hour of the whole course, the class will have made progress in the case study which is next to impossible to make up for. According to past classes we strongly advise you to make sure you can attend all of the course.

Method of Assessment:
Written exam (individual) 40%
assesses the conceptual component of the subject (EPC, ERM).
Practical exam using the SAP R/3 system (individual) 40%
assesses the application component of the subject.
Two progress checks in the implementation of the case study: 10% each.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The written exam (and the overall result) have to be positive to pass.
