The proposed course, ACCT 739--Enterprise Resource Planning Systems, will provide students with an in-depth look at how a modern enterprise computer system functions from an applied perspective. There are components that cover production, sales and distribution, finance, and HR while the focus is on manufacturing. Manufacturing serves as an excellent example to illustrate the need for specialization and granularity to business roles in large and global companies and how these roles or functions need to communicate and integrate in such a way that one process blends into another seamlessly and with information being made available from one process to another in a logically consistent manner. Students who understand ERP systems have the potential to obtain jobs as a consultant, auditor or as a business professional that can rapidly pick up and use their own ERP system internally.

The proposed course will be conducted in a flipped classroom format in which the first "basics" component of the

course will consist of asynchronous learning that covers approximately 20 percent of the material. The second part of the course involves intensive ali-day on-campus instruction and activities over a four week period and covers the remaining 80 percent of the material. We anticipate registering students six weeks before coming to campus in order to allow flexibility in completing the asynchronous learning portion of ACCT 739 in conjunction with other

asynchronous components to the graduate certificate in Enterprise Resource Planning Systems.

The proposed course is a critical component of the proposed graduate certificate in Enterprise Resource Planning Systems in that it constitutes the final course for the certificate. Presently, the Darla Moore School of Business does not offer an equivalent course. An in-depth knowledge of ERP systems is fundamental to successful SAP TERP10

certification, an industry standard credential.

We anticipate that this course will be taken by MBA, MHR, and MACC students.

ACCT 739-ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEMS

Instructor: Email: Work Phone: Office Location: Web: Office Hours:

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course introduces concepts in ERP and integrated nature of business processes. Students are introduced to all the major components of an ERP system. The course participants in Enterprise Resource Planning Systems will gain extensive theoretical foundations of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) using the SAP ERP software. The theoretical knowledge is practically implemented and deepened during the course by the use of case studies and hands-on exercises using the SAP ERP system.

The course will be conducted in a flipped classroom format in which the first "basics" component of the course will consist of asynchronous learning that covers approximately 20 percent of the material. The second part of the course involves intensive ali-day on-campus instruction and activities over a four week period and covers the remaining 80 percent of the material. We anticipate registering students six weeks before coming to campus in order to allow flexibility in completing the asynchronous learning portion of ACCT 739 in conjunction with other asynchronous components to the graduate certificate in Enterprise Resource Planning Systems.

After completion of the course, students have a comprehensive, theoretical and practical knowledge of the central ERP modules. This includes the organizational and data structure and the integration of a variety of business processes and functional areas. Students completing this course will have the advantage of being equipped with a good understanding of business processes adopted by companies around the world. They will also get insights into best business practices and how ERP can be used to optimize business processes.

The course addresses the following functional areas of the SAP ERP Systems: Logistics, Finance, Controlling and Human Capital Management. Furthermore, the integration with the SAP systems and SAP Business Intelligence (BI) is presented.

The University of South Carolina as an active member of SAP's University Alliances program is therefore able to offer TERP10 courses to its students. A TERP10 course, and its associated certification, is a direct response to the global forecast of needed SAP skills in the market, estimated to be between 30,000 and 40,000 professionals in the next several years.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students who complete this course will be able to:

• navigate confidently within SAP systems • explain the organizational structures used in each business process • identify the key master data which must be maintained to execute each business process • describe how various business transactions are performed using the SAP ERP system • discuss the ERP transactions within SAP required to complete each business process cycle • identify the key integration points between the different business disciplines supporting

each business process cycle • explain the integration points between applications within SAP ERP • be prepared to attempt the SAP TERP10 certification exam

COURSE OUTLINE

The ERP Systems course covers the basic structures, organizational elements, and master data used throughout the SAP ERP environment. NetWeaver will be introduced as the technology infrastructure supporting the ERP business processes. The business processes and tentative schedule are show below:

At the conclusion of the course, you will take a final examination consisting of multiple choice, and in some instances multiple-answer questions. The exam will test your understanding of all topics covered within the course.

SAP CERTIFICATION ________________ ,, ___ ,,, .. ,_,, ____ , ___ ,,_,_,_,_

Upon completion of ACCT 739 and other related courses, you may choose to take the C_TERP10_65 certification exam (SAP Certified Associate - Business Foundation & Integration with SAP ERP 6.0 EhPS). Students register directly with SAP for the certification exam, however, the price for students taking the exam with classmates as part of an on-campus course is only $290 USD. This exam fee allows one student to take the exam once when it is offered on their campus as part of the ERP course.

Upon successful completion of the SAP TERP10 exam, participants will become an SAP Certified Business Associate which is recognized by partners and companies across the SAP ecosystem. Students will find that the TERP10 Certification will open internship opportunities as well as full time jobs with consulting firms and other SAP partner companies.
