Included with membership

Think Tanks con­nect you with peers nav­i­gat­ing the same chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties as you. ASUG will facil­i­tate an inter­ac­tive peer-to-peer exchange where solu­tions are shared for top­ics spe­cif­ic to your role and interest.

Should you go with SAP Project Sys­tem Net­work Activity/​Order or the Plant Main­te­nance Work and Pur­chase Order? This top­ic does not seem to be clear­ly defined for many, leav­ing the deci­sion on which set-up to use very murky. Attend this inter­ac­tive dis­cus­sion to learn the advan­tages and dis­ad­van­tages of each pro­gram, along with SAP S/4HANA configurations. 

Join us on Wednes­day, Sept. 30 at 1:30 p.m. CT.

  • Brief wel­come and kick­off from ASUG
  • Rapid case study led by ASUG mem­ber Rick Paull from Indorama
  • The dis­cus­sion will focus on iden­ti­fy­ing and high­light­ing clear advan­tages and dis­ad­van­tages. For example:
    • Do both meth­ods work with cross-appli­ca­tion time sheets (CATS)?
    • What’s the impact on a planner?
    • Plan­ning and exe­cut­ing a turn­around project
  • Shar­ing of recent wins or suc­cess­es, along with resources utilized

Gain vis­i­bil­i­ty into the chal­lenges and suc­cess­es oth­er SAP cus­tomers are expe­ri­enc­ing, and acquire new ideas for real-world solutions.
