Virtual Case 3 Description
VC3 is an Introduction to SAP. In particular, you will be using SAP to manage the Sales Fulfillment Process.
Start by viewing PowerPoint slides introducing you to
SAP.
Next view PowerPoint slides describing the Fulfilment
Process, which is the context for VC3.
VC3 has two options for completion. You may choose the option that works best for you.
Option 1 (Recommended for most)
For this option in Virtual Case 3 it is important that you are able to follow directions precisely.
Step 1: Obtain your SAP username here:
(your initial
password is NIUgbi24 )
Step 2: Logon to the SAP cloud through the link here:
(our client # is 120)
Step 3: Read the Sales Order Fulfilment Process (Document Flow) Microsoft Word document to complete your document flow.
SAP Document Flow instructions
(step-by-step instructions to complete VC3… you can start with Step SD 2 if you
want)
Here is the video tutorial (Step #2, SD 2, only) to help with Step 3:
Watch the VC3
SAP video tutorial
NOTE: This video is using
an older SAP interface, and is slightly outdated. The Word Document, linked below in Step 3,
has been updated for the new interface.
Using both, you should easily be able to get through VC3.
IMPORTANT: You are recommended to complete the entire
assignment in one sitting, without logging out of SAP. If you do not, WRITE DOWN your order number
(see this at about the 20:30 minute mark in the above video). You will need this when you log back in, so
you can continue with the assignment.
When you create an Order, you are assigned a random Order Number WHICH
IS DIFFERENT than your SAP Number.
Important Note:
If you mess up something in Step 5, Step 3, or whatever, my TA and I will not be able to fix it. We will only be able to tell you “Create a new order”. Which means “start from the beginning” at Step 2. That’s difficult, we realize, but that is our only choice. SO, go slowly and carefully through the Word document so you do not miss even the smallest step. Because if you do miss something, something will go wrong later, and you will need to start from the beginning. If this happens, you will have more than one order in SAP, and you may not be able to clear Accounting (Step 7). This is because your Accounting Department will think you have not invoiced and/or collected on the other orders. You will not lose points for this. Just turn in your Doc Flow with Step 7 as not cleared.
Step 4: Prepare a Web page (top level) in your Google Site and name the page “SAPDocFlow”. Check that you’ve named your file correctly and posted it correctly by clicking on your name from the VC1 link on the OMIS 351 class web site and then typing “SAPDocFlow” after the URL that comes up for your page. Post a picture of your SAP document flow onto your SAPDocFlow page using the same techniques you used to post a picture of your Excel files for VC1.
Option 2 (Recommended for those who have trouble with
the technology)
Step 1: Read the Sales Order Fulfilment Process (Document Flow) Microsoft Word document to understand the document flow.
SAP Document Flow instructions
Step 2: Answer the questions below. Place your answers in a file named SAPDocFlow within your Google Sites page. Consult VC1 instructions if you forget how to add a page to your Google Site (it will work very similarly to your resume or your Excel pages, only now the contents will be the answers to the questions below):
1) About what percentage of Forbes 500 companies run SAP?
2) What is the purpose of Step 2 (in the Word document) in the Sales Order Process? Name at least one SAP software function that was used in Step 2.
3) What does the F4 key do in the SAP software?
4) What is the purpose of Step 3 in the Sales Order Process? Name at least one SAP software function that was used in Step 3.
5) What is the purpose of Step 4 in the Sales Order Process? Name at least one SAP software function that was used in Step 4.
6) What is the purpose of Step 5 in the Sales Order Process? Name at least one SAP software function that was used in Step 5.
7) What is the purpose of Step 6 in the Sales Order Process? Name at least one SAP software function that was used in Step 6.
8) What is the purpose of Step 7 in the Sales Order Process? Name at least one SAP software function that was used in Step 7.
As this is a “virtual” assignment, you have until
Here’s the point breakdown for VC3:
VC3 is a 100 point
assignment.
10 points off: For EACH week past the original deadline that your VC is posted late.
Since the TA grades Virtual Cases at
the deadline shown on our online Course Schedule, if you are late finishing a
VC, you must send an email to the TA giving notification when you complete it,
and that is the date/time used to determine your point deduction. If you do not send a notification to the TA
via email, you will get a 0 on the Virtual Case.
0 points off: The document flow is done correctly, completely and clearly.
10 points off: For each document flow element not completed.
20 points off: For bad page name or bad URL (the TA cannot find your Document Flow, but finds it after you correct your mistake).
20 points off: Using your SAP Number in place of your Order Number.
40 points off: Not displaying the “Business Partner” line (top line) in your Document Flow.
100 points off: Using someone else’s SAP number to complete your assignment. This also carries a possible academic integrity violation.
100 points off: no posting of VC3 to your Web page.
