Exercise Introduction
In this exercise, you will be processing accounting transactions for the fictitious Fitter Snacker company—a manufacturer of snack bars. Fitter Snacker has two products, the NRG-A and NRG-B bars. The NRG-A bar touts “Advanced Energy,” while the NRG-B bar touts “Body Building Proteins.”
Multiple versions of the Fitter Snacker Company have been configured in SAP ERP system. Depending on which class you are in, you will be assigned to a particular client. In SAP, the term ”client” has a different meaning than the typical usage of client in the computer world. In the beginning, while not technically correct, the easiest way to understand the SAP usage of client is to think of a client as a separate database. Information in one client is not accessible from other clients. When you log into the SAP system, you have to choose which System/Server you are logging into, then when you log in to that particular server, you have to specify which client you are logging into.
Within each client in the system, there are 100 copies of the Fitter Snacker data. You have been assigned to one of these sets of data. On your SAP System User ID sheet, you have been given the system and client your account is on. You have also been given a Data Set Number, which tells you which set of data you should be using within your client.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU USE ONLY YOUR DATA SET. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE YOU PROBLEMS AS WELL AS OTHERS IN YOUR CLASS.
All of the data in the Fitter Snacker database begins with a Data Set Number. For example, the NRG-A bars are entered as 00 NRG-A, 01 NRG-A, 02 NRG-A, etc. This will allow you to use the search function in SAP to find your particular snack bar. In the instructions that follow, the pound symbol (##) will be used to represent the Data Set Number. For example, in creating a purchase requisition, the instructions will ask you to search for your materials using ##*. You will need to replace the ## with
