Abstract: One of the biggest challenges of an economic entity that has deployed an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is to adapt and implement certain module / software applications, within system, thus solving the requirements of the business environment. In our case is, the ERP system is SAP, and the programming language is ABAP, with the latest technologies WebDynpro. The Z-KPI tool software application is addressed to the financial-accounting department and aims to monitor the activity of the employees involved in the finance and accounting division - specific activities, in scope: Account Receivable (KPI for issued invoices; KPI for on incoming payment procesing; KPI for costs). In our case we will exemplify exactly the adopted methodology, the models used as well as the workflow of the documents, approved by the management together with the department managers - we have the purpose: the activities developed and quantified for the Accounts Receivable department. Our big challenge was to adapt the Z-KPI module within the SAP ERP system. The purpose of this paper is to provide a solution that can be applied in an ERP system - in our case SAP (System and Applications, Products) using ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming). Some of our data were automatically collected (we also have manually data added in the application) from SAP and according with designed KPI formulas, developed by the management of the company, these are displayed in the established reports. This Z-KPI development application - module is used in a big gas and oil company. Details regarding the study, implementation and testing of the module-software application will be shown in this article.
