If we don't use SAP campus management

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

We want to implement ECC and CRM in the Higher Education Industry. Our client has already a Student Management System (not SAP) and doesn't want to change it now.

We want to use SAP for billing, instalment plans and debt management (- btw, not only for that). Which SAP modules should we use for that and which object should we configure if we don't use Campus Management?

Could we create a business agreement /contract in CRM with students courses as products? Or could we use service order?

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

Best regards

Stephanie

You can go for FI-CO( for Debit notes), SD (For all billing documents), FI-CA (Sponsor invoices) modules for issuing billing documents. As far as CRM is concern i am not sure.

Lets wait and watch for more answers.

Stephanie,

You could certainly do a standalone SAP student accounting implementation which interfaces with the legacy student system. This approach has actually been done before at other insitutitions, including those that choose to implement Student Accounting prior to implementing the rest of Student Lifecycle Management.

Student Accounting would handle all of the billing, collections, payments, installment plans, etc. It is based on FI-CA (Contract Accounting). The biggest question is whether tuition fees would be calculated in SAP or in the existing system.

I would not see CRM as a necessary component at all for student accounting, but you might have other uses for it (such as recruitment).
