Don Husman, CEO of Pen Inc. has invited you to a meeting. Mr. Husman announced that two new products are going to be sold by Pen Inc. They are the Executive Pen (EPEN) and the Premium Pen (PPEN). After a lot of discussions, the decision was made that PPENs would be a trading good. EPENs will be manufactured by Pen Inc. Mr. Husman shared that he believes these will be big sellers. He would like 700 PPEN and 1000 EPEN in stock. Mr. Husman has requested that you complete all of the steps to ensure the product is available when needed. You will be required to have your work validated by your supervisor.

Your first assignment is to buy the PPEN while your supervisor creates the EPEN. These pens will be sold as a wholesale product. Your supervisor has completed creating PPEN, that is, PPEN already exists in your system as a trading good. She would like you to complete the process in SAP that assesses for material shortages. It is your responsibility to make sure the required materials are purchased.   

Purchasing has signed a contract with the vendors that will give the best price. PPENs will be purchased from Slick Pens. The standard price for PPEN_ _ _ is $4.10 each. The materials for the EPENs will be purchased from Pen Parts. Go to the BOM to determine the components. The negotiated price for each component is $.50. We need these deliveries as soon as possible! The delivery date should be three business days. So will be required to buy raw materials required to have 1000 EPEN, you may need to check current inventory. Note that you are not actually producing EPEN but making sure have enough constituent materials to make 100 of them.

Three days later – both orders have been delivered.

You receive an email from the warehouse supervisor that the ordered materials for both products have been delivered in full. He has sent the invoices to you, and you see them on your desk. Enter this information into SAP. Once the information is verified (3-way check), you pay the invoices.

Data integrity is very important at Pen Inc. Complete checks in the system to verify your entries are correct.

Your supervisor has requested documentation to verify you completed the work properly. Create a document showing your work. The memo should include a written explanation of the screenshots of the reports.
