SAP/Finance Skills–OLD

SAP software is used throughout the university to manage administrative functions, including finance, human resources, payroll, purchasing, and materials management. Every employee with administrative or financial responsibilities should know how to access and process financial transactions in SAP in keeping with our policies and procedures.

To help ensure understanding of SAP, we offer a variety of instructor-led and online courses, job aids, and FastFacts webinars.

The best starting point is our Financial Program Sequence document, which outlines and links to appropriate courses and resources for gaining expertise in financial administration, sponsored projects, account management, HR/payroll administration, purchasing, and accounts payable.
