Course objectives
Annotation The structure of the course, which follows the BPH_PIS1 course, is conceived so that students use all the knowledge acquired in the previous classes. Topics covered: financial management, cash flow budgets, and analytical tools. Business cases will be solved using Business Central tools. These include frame contracts, substitutions, reservations, ATP/CTP, drop shipments, combined invoicing, SKUs, non-stock items, MRP replenishment, etc. CRM application and its use, advanced logistics, and basics of production planning and assembling will be reviewed. Also, distribution management uses production batches, serial numbers, and expiry dates. Drum-Buffer-Rope and Kepner-Tregoe methods will be used. Metrics, Pareto analysis, and OLAP technology will also be discussed. Main objectives of the course Understanding the reasons for using ERP as a process management tool; learning the main links and functions of an ERP system (MS Dynamics 365 Business Central); learning about the ERP market and the business processes associated with the sale of goods and services; understanding the basics of modern management methods and defining the problems that often affect business and manufacturing processes. An integral part of this is an introduction to the skills required to understand customer needs and the appropriate optimum setup of an ERP system during the implementation process, the ability to demonstrate the impact of any misguided management decisions and an understanding of the benefits that customers expect and believe they can achieve with a properly implemented ERP system. Every student will likely face these problems professionally, and the knowledge gained will be instrumental in solving them. It is known that there is a lack of qualified consultants in the market. Improving students' understanding of these issues through completing this course gives students a competitive advantage. It is one of the main objectives of BPH_PIS2. ERP installation on the home PC will not be required for cloud use.

Teaching methods
Lectures and seminars, modelling the typical case studies by using chosen ERP system and related discussions, self study, hands-on ERS systems. For better understanding of ERP student will be supplied by training materials including e-learning files
Assessment methods
The course is divided into 13 blocks of two hours for full-time study. The course is 0/4, which is to say that it is 2 x 2 hours of seminars. At the beginning of each workshop, the theoretical basics of the subject matter are explained and then modeled on the MS Dynamics 365 Business Central system. The course is not intended for either combined or distance learning. The complex nature of the course requires a type of teaching built as a combination of short passages on theory with subsequent modeling of practical examples. For this reason, student participation in BPH_PIS2 is compulsory in both seminars. During the class, the instructor requires discussion on the topics discussed, and students' reactions to real-life examples are expected, which are continuously translated in the course to understand better the applicability of the tools and methods taught. Thanks to cloud technology, students can connect to Business Central from anywhere, allowing home preparation for required presentations of the system functionality discussed. The instructor continuously reviews knowledge and ability to operate the ERP system in class. The final assessment consists of a written part in which the student prepares materials for an oral examination of the methods discussed and a practical demonstration of the use of the Business Central ERP system. The questions are always addressed with the students in advance, and once they have been explained, they are stored on the server in the study materials in the relevant MS TEASM folder and the interactive syllabus. The study materials also include a set of power-point lectures, where the individual files are always saved after the course, again to the locations already mentioned. Both the Business Central database used, and all study materials are in English. The teaching is in Czech. The questions from BPH_PIS2 form the basis of the questions used in the state final Bachelor's exams in Enterprise Information Systems. Any copying, recording, or taking out tests, use of unauthorized aids and communication devices, or any other interference with the examination's objectivity will be considered a failure to meet the course requirements and a gross violation of the study regulations. As a result, the instructor will close the examination with a grade of "F" in IS, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings, which may result in termination.
The course cannot be taken if the student is abroad at the time of the course.
