Definition

A combination of business event types and the associated rules, which can be used in several programs .

Use

You use modules to create generic, reusable templates for complex or similar academic events. You can use these templates in study plans and adapt them to individual student requirements.

Structure

You can assign business event types (object type D) to modules (object type SM) to define their academic content.

You can also assign business event offerings to modules. Modules represent general, long-term objects. However, business event offerings are related to a specific session.

If the module is assigned a category designated as individual work , you can maintain individual work data for this module. You assign the required category in the Module Data infotype (1746). Your system administrator designates a category as individual work in Customizing for Student Lifecycle Management in the section  Student Lifecycle ManagementMaster Data Academic Structure Individual Work Set Up Categories .

You can assign a rule container (object type RC) to modules so that the system can perform checks in specific activities.

You can also assign modules an academic calendar (object type CA) containing the relevant dates and periods.

You can combine modules to module groups (object type CG) and set up a hierarchy. Module groups can be assigned to a program of study. You can assign modules to more than one module group and reuse their program contents. You can also assign modules directly to a program.

You can manage modules in the module catalog which displays all the modules of an organizational unit. In the module catalog, you can assign business event offerings to modules.

When you create a new module or maintain an existing module, you create and change the following infotypes of the module:
