intervention from senior management.
For this reason, you want to set the ongoing sales invoices cue on your role center as follows:
- Favourable (green): < 30
- Ambiguous (amber): XXXXXXXXXX
- Unfavourable (red): > 40

Activity 3 Multiple Filter Criteria 10

B. Capture a screenshot of Filtered Customers list page showing the results from the
filter.
Important: Each time the activity requests you to type in #######, please enter the seven-
digit number (xxxxxxx) from your ERP login Uxxxxxxx that you have received. For
example, if your ERP username is U1100222, then the seven digit number is XXXXXXXXXX.
Since each login account receives the same copy of the master data, the seven-digit number
serves to distinguish between the individual transactions & data sets, hence prevent clashes
from other students’ work.
Activity 4 ERP Activity Journal 30
Please records your activities and issues related to completing the ERP activity exercise. In
date order, clearly list the following:
o Date of login & the number of ERP exercise activities completed
o Full description of activity completed
o Time duration of the activity
o Challenges/ issues faced (if any)
If you did not get the intended output as required, please write what measures you took to try
to resolve the issues: looking up in the Internet; discussing with peers and teaching team;
took a different course of action, etc. Please provide a rationale towards your alternative
action and/ or your reflection on these activities. For example, if you tried to do this several
times but you encountered e
ors, etc. please include screenshots of e
ors and write your real
experience.
We will award marks for an authentic journal entry here, so you might get e
ors in all 3
activities above, but you may get full marks in this section if you explain your experience and
what you did to try to overcome these issues.
Note: Your entries in the ERP tool [this is accessible to us in the system from an ERP
tool report of your activity by User account], your ERP exercise activity including
screenshots, data sheet or activity journal may be cross-referenced and validated during
the marking of this assignment. In cases of inconsistencies, marks may be deducted.
