Assignment Description
This assessment will be completed in groups of four students. Each group is required to complete four tasks (by providing screenshots) and answer the related questions.
Task 1: Financials
Task: Reviewing a General Ledger Account
Access the SAP Fiori Launchpad and locate a General Ledger (G/L) account within the organisation's chart of accounts. In real-world practice, organisations often manage several bank accounts (e.g., payroll, operating, and investment accounts), each represented as a G/L account on the balance sheet.
Each G/L account is linked to a company code and contains both chart-of-accounts data and company-specific details. This structure enables multiple company codes to utilise a shared chart of accounts while preserving their own configurations and records.
To view G/L Account Master Data:
From the Launchpad, open the Manage G/L Account Master Data tile. In the Chart of Accts field, select GBI Global Group (GL00).
Search for account 1000000 and open its master data record.
Once the account's details are displayed, take a screenshot of the screen showing the G/L Account Master Data. Paste the screenshot into the space provided below.
(Reference: SAP Tutorial, p. 31 - aim to display the master data for G/L account 1000000.)
Process 2 - Now answer the following questions (This part does not need screenshots). Note: The first four questions in this sub-section relate to the G/L account 1000000.
What is the Account Group assigned to this G/L account?
Is this account a Profit and Loss Statement or a Balance Sheet account?
What is the "Account Currency" for US00?
What are the differences between Global Bike Germany GmbH (DE00) and Global Bike Inc. (US00) under "Company Code Assignment"?
Record information about the G/L Account in the table below:
G/L Account Number G/L Account Name (Short Text)
2001000
3000000
3100000
6000000
7000000
Task 2: Procurement
You are working as part of GBI's operations team and have been asked to complete several system-based processes. Your outputs for each process will be submitted using the deliverable template provided at the end of this document.
Business Case
Following in-depth discussions with suppliers and customer focus groups, GBI has identified a market opportunity for a new product line - the Coastal Cruiser bicycle. Before production and sales can begin, key product and supplier information must be established within the enterprise system. This process aligns closely with Supply Chain Management practices.
Process 1 - Supplier Setup
Add a new supplier record to the system for PT-Bike Parts, linked to company code US00.
Use the existing supplier, Mid-West Supply, from your practice exercises as a reference for all other data fields. Ensure all relevant details are replicated accurately before saving the record.
Process 2 - Materials
Create a material record for the Grand Tourer. You are going to define a new Finished Product, The Beach Cruiser, with item code BECU1### (Where ### is your SAP user id.). The specifications for the Beach Cruiser bike are:
Net weight: 5000 gm
Gross weight: 5000 gm
Standard Price: $800 USD
Valuation Class: 7920
Purchasing Group: N00
Price Conditions: Qty 1 Amount: $1100
The material will be stored in Plant MI00 (Miami Distribution Centre), Company US00, Storage Location TG00. All other data, including the organisational levels, is the same as for your CHLK1### bike.
Task 3: Production Planning
Work Centre Creation
Because of the unique assembly and finishing steps involved in producing the Coastal Cruiser bicycle, a dedicated work centre is needed for final packaging and quality checks.
Create a new Packaging Work Centre (PKG-WC5-###) using the same configuration details as the other work centres you created in previous practice sessions. Ensure the naming, capacity, and location details match the existing template work centres before saving. This task relates to concepts commonly used in Production Engineering.
Task 4: Sales and Distribution
Process 1 - Customer Master Data Setup
The marketing team has secured a new distribution partner, Ride4Youth, based at 125 Oceanview Blvd, Palm Shores, FL, USA. This customer's account profile should mirror that of the Cycle World customer in your previous exercises. The same account representative who manages Cycle World will also oversee Ride4Youth-ensure this contact is linked in the customer record during setup.
Process - End-to-End Sales Fulfilment
Following the success of its promotional campaign for the Urban Explorer e-Bike, Velocity Sports Inc. has secured a major order from a new retail partner. You are required to carry out the full order-to-cash cycle in the enterprise system, which reflects key Sales Management activities.
Tasks:
Customer Creation - Set up a new customer record for Pedal Power Co., located at 212 Boardwalk Drive, Seaside, FL, USA, 33480. Use the same account configuration and data as the WheelWorks customer from earlier exercises. The same sales contact managing WheelWorks will also manage Pedal Power Co.-link this contact to the new customer record.
Sales Order - Create a sales order for the Urban Explorer e-Bike according to the purchase details provided.
Delivery Process - Complete the outbound delivery for the order.
Invoicing - Generate and post an invoice for the customer.
Payment Processing - Record receipt of a payment of $15,000 from Pedal Power Co.
