摘要:As most large and medium-sized businesses in the US standardize on Enterprise Resource Planning software,business and engineering schools have incorporated courses that focus on ERP in their curriculum to better preparestudents for the real-world. The SAP University Alliance has helped in this effort through providing free software,curriculum and faculty training to incorporate effective ERP courses in both the undergraduate and graduateprograms. The complexity of the SAP software and the desire for introducing courses on configuration of SAP haschallenging implications for faculty as some students treat the course as a mouse-clicking exercise while othersfocus on being the first to finish. The understanding and grasping of the underlying concepts becomes a casualty insuch courses. This paper presents the use of QuickBooks for Accounting for mirroring the business on a softwarethat is relatively more intuitive and easy to use. The students ended with a better understanding of the underlyingconcepts involved in configuring a business on SAP.
