  1. Introduction to SAP

  2. Objectives • Navigate the user interface • Display material tables • Understand the relationship between organizational units • Company, material storage location

  3. Accessing SAP • I assume that NetWeaver is installed on your computer • First, you see a login screen allowing you to select a sap client • Click Log On to log in to the selected client

  4. The SAP Log in Screen

  5. Accessing the SAP Client

  6. The SAP User Interface • There are familiar menus and icons • Access of most functions are gained through the drill-down interface • Drill-down items are used to access screens • Most screens have • Header data • Overview data • Detail data

  7. SAP Icons • They differ a bit from what you are used to

  8. The Three Parts of SAP • There are three parts to working with SAP • Configuration – creating organizational units and assigning them to each other • Execution – Running the application to create master and transactional data • Customization – Changing the way SAP works using ABAP

  9. SAP (Configuration) • We use a tool called the IMG • Transaction code SPRO

  10. SAP Configuration (IMG) • IMG hierarchical user interface

  11. Header data Position overview Position details SAP Screens

  12. Transaction Codes (Introduction) • Every transaction you record is represented by a transaction code • A transaction might be completed by filling out several screens • There are literally thousands of transaction codes • It’s often faster to use a transaction code instead of navigating a menu • Both do the same thing

  13. Enabling Transaction Codes

  14. Favorites • Using Favorites, you can create a custom folder hierarchy organized as you like

  15. Sessions • A session is little more than an instance of the SAP client that you see • It’s possible to run different transactions in different sessions • Click • System / Create Session • System / End Session • There is a limit to the number of sessions you can create

  16. How the Simulation is Set up • You are using a configured SAP simulation called Global Bike • There are others supported by SAP • Each of you has a unique user id • GBI-xxx where xxx is your user number • This user number is “magical” and is used when searching for information • Your user number is on the handout that I gave you. DON’T FORGET IT

  17. GBI Business Processes • Sell – Fulfillment • Buy – Procurement • Make – Production • Track – Financial Accounting • Track – Controlling • People – Human Capital Management • Store – Inventory and Warehouse Management • Plan – Material Planning • Maintain – Enterprise Asset Management • Service – Customer Service

  18. GBI Products • Trading Goods • These are goods that we buy and resell

  19. GBI Products • Raw materials • These are materials used in the manufacturing process

  20. GBI Products • Semi-finished goods • Think of these as intermediate assemblies made from raw materials

  21. GBI Products • Finished goods • These are goods made from raw materials and semi-finished goods

  22. GBI Procurement • GBI buys products from vendors • The following are the German vendors

  23. GBI (Sales) • GBI has customers in the US and Germany • German customers

  24. Common Processes (Sales) • The sales process (order to cash) • Uses Sales and Distribution (SD) • Materials Management (MM) • Financial Accounting (FI)

  25. Common Processes (Sales)

  26. Common Processes (Procurement) • Procure-to-Cash • Materials Management (MM) • Financial Accounting (FI) • Involves the procurement of goods for resale or manufacturing

  27. Common Processes (Procurement)

  28. Searching for Data • Search screens all work similarly • Tabs across the top of the dialog boxes allow you to search based on different criteria • Drop-down boxes allow you to select from a list of valid values

  29. Searching For Data (Material Stock Overview) • Use Transaction Code MMBE to display a stock overview

  30. Displaying Table Data • Use SE11 to run the ABAP dictionary (schema) • Use transaction code SE16 to display a table • Use transaction code SE16N (new) for a more robust interface • Table characteristics • They are usually 4 characters long and are derived from German acronyms • Field names work the same way

  31. Selected Material Tables • MARA contains material master • MARC contains plant data • WERKS is plant field • MARD contains storage location data • LGORT contains storage location field

  32. Data Browser (Example) • Look up material DXTR1000 from table MARA

  33. Data Browser (Example) • Table MARA display • MSTNR material number
