Short description:

In a control and regulation technology company (valves), the individual sales system (operated on a host using VSE, CICS, Cobol and VSAM) is to be replaced with standard software. In addition to SAP R/2 RV, SAP R/3 SD is also included as a smaller software system. Due to the existing R/2 environment in accounting, materials management and production, RV was suggested as the sales and distribution system.

Supplement:

In addition to the host programs, the old system also had decentralized components operated on Nixdorf 8870 computers in the branches. These individual solutions are to be replaced with a central sales and distribution system.

Technical description:

When the standard software is introduced, the sales processes are also to be re-engineered. Furthermore, the material numbers were previously converted to anonymous numbers and this conversion is to be supported.
