SAP hands-on test
The SAP hands-on test will be open books, notes, and handouts; and it lasts for 150 minutes. It is to test your hands-on skill of running an SAP system configured with the three main business processes (i.e., sales & distribution, procurement, and production). The SAP system instance will be built on your SAP lab exercises, aiming to configure your own enterprise system and to manage the three major business processes for your company code assigned to you.
Your effort prior to the hands-on test is to verify the integration, consistency and completion of your system configuration with the three business processes. The verification must be completed before the test. Upon completion however, each student shall email Dr. Shen right away with the following information:
1) company id and name,
2) plant id and name,
3) finished product ids and names, prices, credit amount, discount rate and
4) required delivery lead time
At the beginning of the test, Dr. Shen will issue a purchase order to your company for finished goods and trading goods. Your task during the test is to fulfill the order, which shall trigger the business processes of sales and distribution, procurement and production operations using your company code.
Final written test
The final test will be closed books, notes, and handouts; and last for 120 minutes. It will be comprehensive, covering the book chapters, hands-out, PP slides, OM homework assignment, SAP slide sets and SAP lab exercises. It will have both multiple-choice questions of SAP and OM topics and computational problems from OM.
