ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a way to integrate the data and processes of an organization into one single system. Its main goal is to integrate data and processes from all areas of an organization and unify it for easy access and work flow.

ERP's usually accomplish integration by creating one single database that employs multiple software modules providing different areas of an organization with various business functions. Once an ERP system is in place, usually all aspects of an organization can work in harmony instead of every single system needing to be compatible with each other. For large organizations, increased productivity and less types of software are a result.

BENEFITS :

• A totally integrated system.
• The ability to streamline different processes and workflows.
• The ability to easily share data across various departments in an organization.
• Improved efficiency and productivity levels
• Better tracking and forecasting.
• Lower costs.
• Improved customer service.

SAP - The original name for SAP was German: Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte, German for "Systems Applications and Products." The original SAP idea was to provide customers with the ability to interact with a common corporate database for a comprehensive range of applications.

SAP applications, built around their latest R/3 system, provide the capability to manage financial, asset, and cost accounting, production operations and materials, personnel, plants, and archived documents. The R/3 system runs on a number of platforms including Windows 2000 and uses the client/server model. The latest version of R/3 includes a comprehensive Internet-enabled package.
Following are the available Technical<hyperlink> and Functional<hyperlink> Modules:

Technical Modules :

• ADVANCED BUSINESS APPLICATION PROGRAMMING (ABAP)
  
  
• BASIS ADMINSTRATION

Functional Modules:

• FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING & CONTROLLING(FICO)
• Human Resouce(HR)
• Sales & Distribution(SD

The ABAP programming language was originally used by developers to develop the SAP R/3 platform. It was also intended to be used by SAP customers to enhance SAP applications – customers can develop custom reports and interfaces with ABAP programming. The language is fairly easy to learn for programmers but it is not a tool for direct use by non-programmers. Good programming skills, including knowledge of relational database design and preferably also of object-oriented concepts, are required to create ABAP programs.
