This course focuses on the topic of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), using the world leading standard software SAP ERP.

The course participants will be provided with a general overview of the theoretical base of enterprise resource planning using the business software SAP ERP. The theoretical knowledge is then put into practice and consolidated using case studies on integrated business processes which the course participants will carry out actively in the SAP system.

A practical approach for teaching is used to cover both the theoretical basis and the case studies for the complete spectrum of SAP ERP. This gives the course participants a chance to get an in-depth overview of the SAP ERP system functions: Logistics (LO), financial accounting (FI), controlling (CO), and human capital management (HCM). The integration aspects to the SAP systems SAP Business Intelligence (BI) and SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM) are also part of the course.

The participants are furthermore also prepared for the original certificate exam of SAP's own course TERP10. The certificate exam is organized by SAP (as part of this pilot project with the SAP University Alliances) and is held on site. Participants can take the certificate exam (C_TERP10_60) after completing the course. Exact dates can be found in SAP certificate exam.

The course participant will have a broad theoretical and practical knowledge of the SAP ERP system on completion of the course due to a wide range of practical experience and detailed explanations on the individual SAP ERP modules. This specifically applies to technical aspects, organizational structure, and integration of a number of business processes and functions.
The practical work on the business process scenarios presented and integrated in the case studies enables the course participants to understand the function of SAP ERP fundamentally. This gives the participants the skills to familiarize themselves quickly with any unknown SAP ERP system later in their career. When completing the course, the participants specifically have the skills and knowledge of the following functions and their integration within complex business processes:
