Task 1: SAP System Security Parameters
Task 1.1: Transaction Code and SAP R/3 System
According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2001), “A transaction code is a four-character command that tells the system location of a task. Every SAP screen comes equipped with an inimitable transaction code (Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2001). A transaction code may contain a combination of numbers and letters like pe15 or letters only like stzm (Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2001).
A transaction code is important in SAP R/3 system for a number of reasons. First, when SAP R/ 3 system is accessed by a user, a query is initiated at the application level of the data base and is performed using SQL (ERP Great 2016). Secondly, the transaction code helps in locating and according a code to data transferred to the Front End System from the Relational Database (ERP Great 2016). Thirdly, a transaction code becomes useful when data is being converted from one consistent state to another (ERP Great 2016). More importantly, the transaction code becomes instrumental in recording the stage at which the data conversion took place within the SAP R/ 3 system. In addition, the transaction code is important within the SAP R/ 3 system when a new set of data is being entered into the system or is being used to update an existing data set in the database (ERP Great 2016).

Integration of various systems into a single unit, financial crises is reduced and the flow of finances within the firm controlled. This ensures that reports on financial usage are accessible from any terminal and the SAP system stores any entry made at any given time. On the other hand, management is easy since all the source information required is accessible at one point and information distribution is on time (Osterle, H. 1998). Doing everything under a system reduces the act of supervision since the system has the ability to monitor any transaction and generate a

in the early spring when temperatures in the day are above freezing workers on maple farms begin producing syrup. They use drills to make slightly upward facing holes into the tree on the Southside usually half an inch in diameter and two inches deep called taps where sap can be seen dripping. A spell is then inserted into the tap which drips into hanging buckets. Once the buckets are full they are transported into a large pot inside of a sugar shack. In the sugar shack the sap is heated to its boiling point until about sixty-six percent of the water is removed. if the syrup starts to bubble to high a stick of butter can be lightly rubbed on the inside around the top of the pot to avoid overflow. After heating while the syrup is still hot
The major concern or reason of why Nibco needed to switch to SAP R/3 was to replace or “cut loose” from the company’s existing legacy systems. The main issue underlying the legacy systems was that they were separated systems and had problems to communicate between each other.

24. Transaction processing systems are most commonly used by the senior management level of an organization.
The first level of an Information Systems is the Transaction Processing Systems this system is basically use to input, store, and output data transactions in an organization. Using this system we can expect to have a very fast response due to today’s demands that require immediate action, for example making payments to a vendor. Since the data is stored we can say that TPS is very reliable and low chance of failure rate. If failure does occur, individuals can easily modify data to resolve the problem.
