Module ERP Systems, Media Computer Science (Bachelor) (ER 2)
The students shall learn to think in business processes on the basis of integrated ERP systems. They should recognize the interdependence of operational functions, and thus deepen their basic economical knowledge about processes (horizontal integration). Further, the students recognize the need for vertical integration as a prerequisite for the development of ERP systems for management information systems. In addition the students learn architecture, design and development of ERP systems.
The laboratory is linked to the lecture and serves to apply and deepen the lecture material.
The following laboratory exercises are carried out:
- SAP ERP navigation, case study to get to know the user interface and operation of the SAP system
- Case study on order processing (SD module) to understand the implementation of business processes in complex ERP systems
- Customizing case study on reorder point-oriented procurement planning to independently (under supervision) configure a procurement process in the system (company and process customizing)
- Short programming task in ABAP to get to know the programming language.
Independent processing of the case studies in an SAP ERP system individually or in a group of a maximum of two people. Software: SAP ECC 6.04, data basis: Global Bike Inc.
Alternative to the laboratory: Introduction to the ABAP programming language. See I W918.
Recommended reading: Extensive material for introduction to the topic as well as on each case study. Provisioning is about the blended learning and e-learning platform ILIAS.
Kind of work: Labor participation and preparation of laboratory results. Exercises and case studies from the curriculum GBI powered by t he SAP University Alliances community. Some case studies have been extended to more detailed tasks.
Contents:
ERP basics, system integration, system architectures, and logistics: Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Production Planning and Control (PP) as well as Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO). In addition, an overview is given to the software selection.
Recommended reading: Lecture material completely as PowerPoint documents, blackboard notes for interactive development of central problem positions, a main textbook to ERP, a main textbook to SAP ECC 6.0.
Kind of work: Lecture participation
The lecture covers the core processes of IT service management as well as methods for systematic planning, provision and support of IT services. For each process, the objectives, tasks, demarcation, mode of operation and the dependencies on the other processes are worked out. The students thus acquire the competence to know the relevant technical terms and to apply them in practical situations.
The necessary roles and responsibilities are learned. The students understand how IT processes are represented in reference models. The lecture is based on the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), which is a generally accepted standard for the structure and operation of IT organizations.
