Introduction to SAP

What does a companys strategy consist of?

Company strategies concern:

How to grow the business How to satisfy customers How to out compete rivals How to respond to changing in market conditions How to manage each functional piece of the business
and develop needed organizational capabilities How to achieve strategic and financial objectives

Introduction Manufacturing Organizations are complex `systems' where

the interactions between the various functions - Sales, Distribution, Manufacturing, Materials, Finance, Human Resources, Maintenance have to be managed towards a common purpose of delivering the customers maximum value at the optimum price. However, since most of these organizations have a `Functional Structure', each function/department works towards their own goals and objectives, rather than the organizational goals. These are the issues addressed by `Enterprise Resource Planning' software solutions providing a common, consistent system to capture data organization wide, with minimum redundancy. 3

What is ERP?
ERP integrates the information across functions, and

provides a set of tools for planning and monitoring the various functions and processes and ensuring progress towards a common purpose A business management system that integrates all facets of the business, including planning, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. ERP helps business managers to implement ERP in business activities such as inventory control, order tracking, customer service, finance and human resources
4

What is an ERP?

An Enterprise Resource Planning system is a packaged business software system that allows a company to: Automate and integrate the majority of its business processes Share common data and practices across the entire enterprise Produce and access information in a real-time environment

Pre-ERP What is ERP? Advice from the front

63

Pre-ERP
Application-specific systems Incremental design Separate information systems built over long period of
time Each system supports discrete business process (e.g., manufacturing, finance, sales) Suppliers and customers rarely part of the information system picture

64

Pre-ERP

65

Pre-ERP
Application-specific systems An illustration of associated problems Under application-specific systems, each business
unit was well served, but important data would vary dramatically among divisions Sales would use its system to project sales; Logistics planning group would use manufacturing system to decide how much product to make and how to schedule production Each area would think overtly or covertly that the other areas numbers werent any good There was no trust between the divisions

66

What is ERP?
Configurable information system that integrates

applications in accounting, sales, manufacturing, and other functions Integration is accomplished through a single (HUGE) database shared by all the applications Designed to support global operations Multiple languages and currencies

What is ERP?

68

Advice from the front

Need to redesign business processes to fit the ERP (not

the other way around) Boeing: Most difficult and time-consuming and expensive aspect of the project was creation of a bridge between PeopleSoft HR system and our legacy payroll systems In hindsight, they believe they should have forced the payroll process to move to PeopleSoft and eliminated those legacy systems
69

Advice from the front

Management support, at the top and in business

areas, is crucial A-Busch recommends placing a BUSINESS leader in charge, not MIS, so project leadership comes from the business perspective Leader needs to communicate vision, maintain motivation, fight political battles, and remain influential with all stakeholders

70

Advice from the front

Prepare to invest in training of IT and process folks A-Busch: Find the right people for the project, empower
them, and take the training seriously Boeing: Reskill the end users; supplement generalized user training with training on the specific application modules each will be using

71

Advice from the front

Prepare to deal with difficulty in hiring and retaining ERPskilled workers Monsanto: One of the critical workforce requirements for the SAP project was identifying analysts with both business and technical knowledge Instead of 200 programmers with average skills, the SAP project demanded and could be accomplished with 20 of the best and brightest business analysts However, retaining these professionals was a significant problem because of their market value

80

4 Ways to Adapt SAP R/3 Enhancements Customer additions and changes to R/3 objects that
are not modifications SAP programs have user exits designed into them at points where they have found customers may want to branch to additional specialized logic

81

4 Ways to Adapt SAP R/3 Customer Development R/3 contains a customer namespace where you can
create your own objects (e.g., additional tables, report programs, dialogs, transactions, etc.)

NOTES: SAP customers typically do only 1 and 4 -

Configuration and Customer Development Textbook use of term Enhancements would encompass both 3 and 4 here
82

What is ABAP? The ABAP Language Pronounced ah-bop Advanced Business Application Programming All SAP functional modules are written in ABAP Only SAP and SAP customers use the ABAP language

83

What is ABAP? The ABAP Language (continued) Supports event-driven logic Uses Open SQL (subset of ANSI SQL) Is multilingual: Text on screens/reports (e.g., titles, headers) stored

separately from the program code User settings indicate which language the text should be displayed in Special date, time, currency fields are incorporated in the language functionality to support global logic Conversions are done automatically
84

What is ABAP? Companies installing or running SAP R/3 need ABAP

programmers to: Provide extended functionality that cant be implemented by Configuration specialized reports additional screens, dialogs, tables additional transactions modules to execute at user exits Of course, the SAP company and SAP consulting firms also need ABAP programmers
85

SAP Components SAP R/3 is comprised of modules categorized in three

core functional areas: Financial Human Resources Logistics Special software packages on top of R/3, targeted to specialized vertical industries: Industry Solutions (IS) Special set of modules positioned between the technical and functional areas of the system: Cross Application (CA) Modules Workflow (WF) 86
