Self - paced Programme Overview
This self - paced programme is part of Finance Fundamentals Package by our expert Bartosz Tyrala. Manufacturing organisations use ERP systems to structure cost information across activities, resources and production processes. This course introduces the principles of activity-based costing (ABC) and explains how activities and cost centres are used to describe cost behaviour. Through clear explanations and practical examples, learners understand how activity types, cost drivers and production volumes influence how costs are represented and interpreted in ERP environments..
Programme Structure
Key Module 1: Understanding Activities in ERP Manufacturing
Key Module 2: Defining Cost Centres and Their Role in Activity Costing
Introduces cost centres and explains how they structure cost allocation and activity-based costing within ERP systems.
Key Module 3: Types of Activities: Fixed, Variable, and Mixed
Explains different types of activities and how fixed, variable and mixed behaviours are represented in cost analysis.
Key Module 4: Analysing Production Volume and Activity Consumption
Explains how production volume influences activity consumption and how these relationships are described in ERP-based costing structures.
Key Module 5: Calculating and Interpreting Activity Costs in Production Orders
Introduces how activity costs are calculated and explains how they are interpreted within production order costing structures.
Key Module 6: Fundamentals of Activity-Based Costing (ABC) in ERP Systems
Explains the principles of activity-based costing and how ABC frameworks are represented within ERP environments.
Key Module 7: Applying Activity-Based Costing to Real-World Production Scenarios
Explains how ABC concepts are described in production contexts and how activity-based costing is interpreted in manufacturing environments.
Key Module 8: Evaluating the Impact of Activity Cost Behaviour on Production Costs
Explains how activity cost behaviour influences cost structures and how these relationships are interpreted in manufacturing analysis.
Key Module 9: Final Assessment and Practical Application
Provides a structured review of key concepts and explains how the course brings together activity-based costing terminology and frameworks.
Business Outcomes
Learners understand the concepts and terminology used in activity-based costing within ERP systems. They recognise how activities, cost centres and cost drivers structure cost models and can explain how production volumes and activity behaviour influence cost representation.
Is this right for your organisation?
Suitable for organisations introducing teams to activity-based costing concepts in ERP environments. Relevant for professionals in manufacturing, finance or operations who need to understand costing terminology and how ERP systems represent activity-based costs.
Programme Impact
The course creates a shared understanding of activity-based costing concepts and ERP terminology across teams. This supports clearer communication and more consistent interpretation of costing structures within manufacturing organisations.
