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 center planning and work centers, linkage between cost accounting and production/logistics, work centers 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, availability 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.

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 center planning and work centers, linkage between cost accounting and production/logistics, work centers, 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.

Method of Assessment:
Written exam (individual) 33,33%
which assesses the conceptual component of the subject (EPC, ERM).
Practical exam using the SAP R/3 system (individual) 33,33%
which assesses the application component of the subject.
A case study to be implemented independently: 33,33%

Since the initial case study in the lecture is implemented iteratively, it is imperative that students are present at all times.

Grading scale:

• Excellent (1): 87.5% - 100.0%
• Good (2): 75.0% - <87.5%
• Satisfactory (3): 62.5% - <75.0%
• Sufficient (4): 50.0% - <62.5%
• Fail (5): <50.0%

Prerequisite for passing the course: minimum performance of 40% in the final examination.
