ABC of Enterprise systems

An enterprise system is build around an

integrated database
A system, like SAP, contains tens of
thousands data tables
When a user create, change or view data in
the system, he or she performs a
transaction
Data changed or created by one user can be
exploited by all other users (ex. reporting,
tracking, execution of orders, etc.)
All transactions are traceable, transactions
can be reversed never erased
3

User interface

Users interact with the enterprise system

through transactions.
A large number of pre-programmed
transactions exists in SAP
Each transaction has a transaction code
one can call a transaction if one knows the
transaction code
The SAP menu allows to browse and find
the desired transaction
One can create a user menu or a list of
favourites with the commonly used
transactions
4

Reports and queries

Reports and queries are transactions that allow

users to view existing data
A typical query is performed as follows:
In the first page of the transaction, you must
enter the selection criteria for the query (ex.
Company code, product code, etc.)
then, click on
to execute the query.
A table containing the requested data will appear;
the display and layout can sometimes be modified

Entering new data

Some transactions are designed to
change or create new data (create
forecast, release production order,
change sale price, etc.)
The interface varies according to data
required by the system
The system will not allow you to save
information if all the required fields
have not been completed
You must save/release/confirm before
existing the transaction

Other useful buttons

Use the navigation bottoms to go back
or get out of a transaction
You can open up to sessions. Click on

Understanding production
processing and execution

A planned order is a document created during the

forecasting process. This document has no real
consequence yet. It can be erased or changed.
A planned order can be released completed or
partially into a production order.
A production order instructs the shop floor to
proceed with production. It cannot be erased or
changed
Release of the production order triggers the good
movement of the raw material to the shop floor.
Once production is completed, the production
confirmation confirms the consumption of the raw
materials and the good movement of the finished
products to the warehouse.
