1. Introduction

SAP stands for Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing. Five German
Engineers founded it in 1972. SAP is an ERP software which large organizations use to
manage their business. SAP has several modules, each of which represents a businessprocess.
Modules are usually abbreviated for the business process they represent. For
instance, HCM is Human Capital Management, FI for Financial Accounting, MM for
Materials Management and SD is Sales & Distribution and so on. All together there are
some nineteen core modules.
These modules are highly integrated in real-time, which means, that if information is shared
between modules then the data is entered only once. This reduces the chances of error
arising from repetitive entry and also reduces the man-hours. Managers and decision
makers always have information at their fingertips and this helps them in effective decision
making.
SAP has been around for nearly four decades. Nine out of ten Fortune-500 companies have
already implemented SAP (not counting the thousands of to-be Fortune-500 companies that
have SAP). There are well over 10 million SAP users worldwide and jobs keep popping up
all around the world.
SAP is the leading ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software. Because of it’s liberal
open-architecture, there are millions of programmers working around the world to provide
interaction between thousands of major software and SAP.
SAP is usually implemented in phases. The first phase is when organizational structure and
accounting components are configured, tested and then taken live. Gradually more modules
are turned on.
