More info at erpsim.hec.ca ABC of Enterprise systems An enterprise system is build around an integrated database A system such as SAP contains tens of thousands data tables When a user creates, changes or views 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 with financial impacts can be reversed, never erased

ERPsim is owned by Polyvalor and Valorisation Gestion and commericialized by Baton Simulations. More info at erpsim.hec.ca User interface Users interact with the enterprise system through transactions. A large number of pre-programmed transactions exist 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

More info at erpsim.hec.ca 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

More info at erpsim.hec.ca Entering new data Some transactions are designed to change or create new data (change forecast, release purchasing orders, 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 compulsory fields have not been filled You must save/release/confirm before exiting the transaction
