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 ECC. Entity Relationship Models for master data entry and Event-driven Process Chains (EPCs) for operational processes will help students to navigate through the SAP system and to see the link between the concept to be implemented and the actual information system.

Students can carry out a standard implementation of SAP ECC in cost accounting, materials management and production planning/execution including the relevant customizing.
Students have an understanding of ERP system implementation and customizing in general irrespective of the system used.
Students can plan an implementation project in the field.

According to the examination regulation full attendance is intended for a PI. Absence in one unit is tolerated if a proper reason is given.

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.
