Introducing the EPM Sample Application LESSON OVERVIEW In this lesson, you learn how to describe the Enterprise Procurement Model business. example. You also learn about the Open Item Analytics sample applications and which computations they invalve. Business Example Your company, IT2LO, sells hardware to other companies, and purchases hardware or parts from other companies. ITeLO uses several ABAP applications, for example, to classify customers according to their payment behavior, the total sales volume they generate, dunning runs, financial account results, and more. One of these applications is called Open Item Analyties, and it analyzes how lang the customer invaices remain unpaid on average and per customer and the total open invoice amount per customer. It then proposes which customers should receive payment reminders. ITeLO wants you to imarove the performance of this application considerably, by making use of SAP HANA. LESSON OBJECTIVES After completing this lesson, you will be able to: + Describe the Enterprise Procurement Model business example + Describe the Open Item Analytics sample applications and which computations it involves Enterprise Procurement Model (EPM) The ITeLO example described is part ofa larger sample business scenaria called Enterprise Procurement Model. This scenario was introduced in SAP NetWeaver ABAP as areference and show case for how to use newer technologies. Most SAP HANA courses use this scenario. ITeLO both sells and buys hardware, so its full set of applications includes a sales part, a procurement part, and master data management. This is reflected in the data madel, which includes sales orders, goods issues, and customer invoices on the sales side; similar entities on the procurement side; and master data entities such as stock, business partners (customers and suppliers), and products. © Copyright.
