University financial management system for commercial accounting and cost calculation

The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system serves as a financial administration system for commercial accounting and cost calculation at the University. SAP ERP consists of various modules covering different administrative aspects like procurement planning, commercial accounting and cost calculation, or budgetary monitoring.

The URZ operates a tripartite system landscape for the University administration, consisting of a development, test and productive system. Since 2015, the URZ has also been operating another system landscape for the Medical Faculty Mannheim at Heidelberg University. These systems are used by the University administration as well as decentralized institutions and institutes. The URZ supports its users in using these systems and makes configuration changes and customizations as well as internal developments according to the demands of the respective department. Currently, around 600 users, an average of up to 120 at one time, have access to the SAP ERP systems operated by the URZ.
