Introduction to the
distribution game
ERP Simulation Games:
Pedagogical objectives
• To show how the ERP system
supports business strategies
• To develop a hands-on
understanding of the concepts
underlying enterprise systems
• To experience the tangible
benefits of enterprise integration
firsthand
• To develop technical skills at
taking decision using an
enterprise software

Distribution game
• In groups of at most 4
participants, each team
operates a bottle
distribution company.
• Using standard reports,
participants have to make
business decisions to
ensure the profitability of
their operation

Rules of the game
• Each round will be of 20 steps (a bit more than 1
min per step)
• End-of-round inventory is carried over to the next
round
• You can sell a product only if you have it in stock
• You compete against the other teams and
importers
• Your objective is to maximize profit

SAP Navigation
ABC of Enterprise systems
• An enterprise system is build around an integrated
database
• A system such as SAP contains tens of thousands
data tables
• When a user creates, changes or views data in the
system, he or she performs a transaction
• Data changed or created by one user can be exploited
by all other users (ex. reporting, tracking, execution of
orders, etc.)
• All transactions are traceable, transactions with
financial impacts can be reversed, never erased

User interface
• Users interact with the enterprise system through
transactions.
• A large number of pre-programmed transactions exist
in SAP
• Each transaction has a transaction code – one can
call a transaction if one knows the transaction code
• The SAP menu allows to browse and find the desired
transaction
• One can create a user menu or a list of favourites
with the commonly used transactions

Reports and queries
• Reports and queries are transactions that allow
users to view existing data
• A typical query is performed as follows:
• In the first page of the transaction, you must enter the
selection criteria for the query (ex. Company code,
product code, etc.)
• Then, click on
to execute the query
• A table containing the requested data will appear
• The display and layout can sometimes be modified

Entering new data
• Some transactions are designed to change or
create new data (change forecast, release
purchasing orders, change sale price, etc.)
• The interface varies according to data required by
the system
• The system will not allow you to save information if
all the compulsory fields have not been filled
• You must save/release/confirm before exiting the
transaction

time
