As the various steps of the purchase are recorded in SAP, we will ask you to answer some questions about what is occurring. Keep in mind that this business process is normally done by more than one person in order to properly segregate duties and maintain authorization controls.

Assignment 3Purchasing Example Using SAP ERP
Primary Learning Objectives:
· Experience the steps in a typical purchasing transaction
· See how an ERP system handles a typical purchasing
transaction
The objective of this assignment is for you to become familiar
with the steps and the documents involved in a typical
purchasing transaction and also investigate how the SAP system
operates for this type of transaction. We will be using the
financial accounting (FI) and the materials management (MM)
modules of SAP. We start by creating the master data in the
system. We create master data for a new material and a new
vendor and then link these together using an information record.
After that we run through a transaction in which we purchase
the material we just created from the vendor we also just
created. As the various steps of the purchase are recorded in
SAP, we will ask you to answer some questions about what is
occurring.
Keep in mind that this business process is normally done by
more than one person in order to properly segregate duties and
maintain authorization controls. However, in this exercise you
will do all of the steps from your individual SAP logon.
You will perform the following tasks:
Create a material master
Create a vendor master

2. Create an information record to link the vendor and material
Create a purchase order for the material
Receive the material
Receive the invoice from the vendor
Make payment to the vendor
For all of the following work you will use your own company
code. This company code is based on the SAP number assigned
to you (see Blackboard grades). Whenever you see the value
XX in the assignment you will substitute your assigned SAP
number. Be sure to use only your assigned SAP number.
Step 1: Create a Material Master record for a Trading Goods
The material master record contains all the data required to
define and manage a material. In SAP this is formally part of
the Materials Management (MM) module. However, some
important accounting information is also contained within this
record. For example, product cost and pricing information and
also tax information are contained within the material master
record.
The master record consists of individual views and the
individual views are presented in the form of tabbed pages.
These views are organized on a functional or departmental
basis. Each department has its own view that permits easy
access and maintenance. In other words, data is integrated from
engineering, manufacturing, sales and distribution, purchasing,
accounting and other departments. This master data is used as a
source of data for purchase order processing throughout the
procurement cycle. For simplicity, we are ordering a trading
good that we will subsequently sell. Trading goods are items
that we purchase for resale. There are other types of goods such
as raw materials that are used to manufacture finished products.
The product that we are going to purchase is an aerodynamic
bicycle helmet.
Just a reminder: When you see an “XX” enter your assigned
SAP number.

The SAP terminology is a little confusing in this part of the
process. What we would normally term cost, they term price.
That is, by their terminology price (not cost) is what we paid
for the good.
The price control of S means that the company is using standard
costing with the standard cost you entered of $80. The moving
price is the moving average price that is calculated by averaging
the costing of the good (what they actually paid for the good)
over a specific period of time. The standard cost is a constant
cost used by the company and is used in many ways to measure
the performance of the company with respect to this good. You
will learn more about this in your managerial accounting class.
1.4 Why is it very important for the company to know how
much the good costs?

The creation of a material and a vendor would allow us to order
those goods from that vendor. However, as an additional
control, we can define the relationship between the good and the
vendor. In SAP this is done by creating an information record.
That is the next step in the process.

18. Project Name or Identification: T-shirt Company Startup
Business
Project Stakeholders
· Romero Edwards
· Owner, CEO, and manager
· romeroedwards93yahoo.com
Project Description
· Background
Identity is one of the key features that any entity, group or
individual may have. There are different ways of developing
identity and each may be used in different ways. After carrying
out research on the trends that have been able to survive the
changes in time, I have discovered that branded t-Shirts are top
in that category. It is against this backdrop that I came up with
the black and white youth T-Shirt as a symbol for youths from
all races gender religion and career to identify with the current
generation. The information contained in this paper explains
how I shall use virtual and online markets to ensure that the
brand has been sold across the globe.
· Description of the challenge or opportunity
Challenge
There are different challenges that the brand may face once it
enters into the market. The first challenge is the challenge of
the established brands that are already selling in the market.
Two of the most selling brands include Nike and Fila. These
two brands have dominated clothing industry especially for
casual wear t-shirts. The model of marketing used by these
companies is able to reach out to many people. The companies
have been sponsoring different sports events, branding
community development initiatives and other forms of
marketing that involve reaching out to the people.
The other challenge that the brand may face is time taken to
establish the brand. The market at times is slow to accept new

19. products due to the fear on their quality and the unseen future.
This is especially a challenge to small enterprises which depend
on the revenue from the new product for them to have a going
concern. This requires the marketing material to be persuasive
enough in order to lure the customers and change the market
preference.
The other challenge that the brand shall face is the rating of the
marketing items on the Google marketing platform. One of the
features that are linked with Google marketing is peer rating.
The feature allows other persons who are using the platform to
rate brands. A brand which receives high rating is viewed to be
preferable and this may change the perception that the
consumers will have on the product. This in return will affect
the preference that the products will have once it hits the
market.
Opportunities
The first major opportunity that the brand has is the theme that
it passes. The T Shirts pass a message of tolerance amongst
people from different racial and religion backgrounds. This is a
convenient message especially in the twenty first century when
there are concerted efforts to fight any racial discrimination.
The fight against racism is convenient for sportsmen, office
based careers, technical workers and government officials
internationally.
The other opportunity that the brand has is the appeal to the
youth. As the paper elaborates in sections below, the T-Shirts
shall be holding names that portray the chances in patterns that
affects the youth in the last year. This shall change every year
and thus every youth shall be looking upon the next set of T-
Shirts and thus demand shall be high each year. The team shall
allow the youth to participate in developing the brand for the
year through internet platforms. Indeed, Google marketing
offers opportunity for customers to give their feedback on the
views they have on the product. This is the feature that the
marketing team shall use to gather details on the items that the

20. youth would wish included in the succeeding year’s T-Shirt.
Also, the marketing platform presents the brand with an
opportunity of stealing the global show through Google
Marketing. Google marketing can be viewed from any remote
computer which has internet connections globally through the
World Wide Web. Thus, the product can go viral within the
same day that it is floated to the market. This may even
overwhelm the production department of the organization.
· Overview of the desired impact
· Global impact: using Google marketing allows the brand to get
the attention of the international market. This is vital in the
optimization of company’s potential. The company targets the
international customer base and use of Google marketing helps
in attaining such a market.
· Wide market on first roll out: it is a common tradition for
companies to start small and grow big. However, internet based
marketing helps companies to roll out at medium level. While
the level of marketing may be a consideration, with enough
capital, internet based marketing can be vital in developing a
wide customer base at the first roll out.
· Passing out the message: while making high sales is one aim
of the brand development, the brand development also seeks to
pass out an antiracist message to the customers. This is
expected to change the level of thinking to include more
tolerant views. The success of this campaign can be easily
transformed into success of the organization since the customers
can be lured to buy products of the company that facilitated the
noble course.
Measurable Organizational Value (MOV)
· Project’s overall goal and measure of success
The overall goal of the project is to present the market with a
new design of t shirt while at the same time pass the antiracism
message. This shall include development of a common voice to

21. the youth against racists and adding up their voices to the
international fight against racism. The following items shall be
used to measure success of the project
· Rating by other users of Google marketing: as noted earlier in
this paper, other users are allowed to describe their ratings on
the brands that are marketed on Google marketer. While it is
hard to know the real intention of the persons making the rating
(since there are chances of down rating by malicious persons or
overrating by persons who are unrealistic and only wish to
prove the marketer rights), the platform can always be used as a
sampling ground for the acceptance or otherwise that the
product shall have once it is released to the market.
· Visits and revisits of product online profile: a brand that is
built using strong visual features will have high number of
visits on its online profile (on Google marketing website.
· Number of recommendations from online viewers: Google
marketing allows users to recommend other persons who hold
Google accounts products and brands which are portrayed
through Google marketing. A preferred brand will have high
number of recommendations.
· Online based sales: since Google is an online based marketing,
online based sales can be directly linked to it. Successful online
based marketing will lead to high online based sales.
· What elements of the project provide value to the
organization?
Elements of the project that would provide value to the
organization include;
· Company brand; brand which passes right message to the
people
· The anti-racists campaign: many people would be interested in
joining the global course which has all the right attitudes
· Use of internet marketing; virtual markets are the modern
forms of marketing and this shows that the organization
embraces technological developments.
· Real time requisitions: customers always are glad where they

22. can be able to source hoods and services from online sources
and be allowed to place their requisitions online and real-time.
This includes provision for electronic money transfer which
would increase the level of communication between the
producer and the consumer. This also reduces the number of
middlemen between the producer and the consumer.
· ROI (return on investment) and cost versus benefit
Google marketing has one of the special features where the
company does not have a fixed cost for the advertisements. The
company allows the advertiser to come up with maximum
budget for the day and the price for each click. The budget may
be scaled up or down according to the advertising needs of the
brand that is being advertised. The marketing method thus
leaves the marketer to come up with the flexible budget. Thus,
the marketing shall not be expensive. Other costs include
· Hosting an organization’s website
· Cost of broadband connectivity
· Cost of designing the t shirts and the website.
The benefits are similar to achievement of goals that have been
outlined in earlier sections of this paper
· Statement or table format
Project Scope
· What will be included in the scope of this project?
The project shall include the following features
· Branded T-Shirts that shall be marketed over Google
marketing
· Videos for promoting the T-shirts
· Web-link to organization website
· Web loins to products webpage on the company’s website
· A guide which shall answer frequently asked questions about
the brand
· An open letter inviting all users of Google marketing to trade

23. · The features to identify the organization like logo and theme
colors
· What will be considered outside the scope of this project?
The organization will also consider
· Marketing complementary products like shoes and caps
· Use of newspaper and magazine captions citing quality of the
products
· What are the project’s main deliverables?
The project’s main deliverable is high sales. You cannot market
if you are certain that the amount from sales won’t be sufficient
to meet the marketing needs.
· Provide a statement and description.
The product being marketed is a branded T-shirt which carries
important information against racism and which calls for unity
of young men internationally.
