Purpose of the assessment
This assessment task requires students to take on the role of an employee and complete multiple business process-related tasks using the Enterprise System in response to a detailed scenario. Students will be expected to complete the scenarios and produce the specified reports. Some tasks will mirror tutorial activities. Others will extend beyond tutorial material, requiring students to conduct independent research.
Learning Objective 1: Examine and communicate to a range of stakeholders the role of enterprise systems in supporting the business strategy, business drivers and business requirements of an organisation;
Learning Objective 2: Critically evaluate the integrative role of enterprise systems in supporting business processes and automating and managing the associated transactions within the organisational context.
Assignment Description
This assessment will be completed in groups of four students. Groups will be formed within the first two weeks of class. Each group is required to complete four tasks (by providing screenshots) and answer the related questions.
Task 1: Financials
Display General Ledger Account
Use the SAP Fiori Launchpad to display a General Ledger (G/L) account within your chart of accounts. Businesses typically maintain multiple bank accounts (e.g. payroll, general checking, and money market) reflected on their balance sheets. Each G/L account associated with a company code contains a chart of accounts and company code-specific information. This allows multiple company codes to share a chart of accounts while maintaining their unique information and settings. To find G/L Account Master Data, select the tile "Manage G/L Account Master Data." Choose "GBI Global Group" (GL00) in the Chart of Accts field. Locate account 1000000 to display its G/L account master data. Take a screenshot of the displayed information and include it here. (Note: Arrive at "G/L Account Master Data" for G/L account 1000000. See page 31 on SAP Tutorial.)
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"?
