General Requirements
Installing Mini SAP BasisSAP stands for Systems Applications and Products. It is the name of both online financial and administrative software and the company that developed it. SAP is made up of individual, integrated software modules that perform various organizational system tasks. SAP is an extremely complicated system where no one individual can understand all of it.
SAP runs on a fourth generation programming language called Advance Business Application Programming (ABAP). It has many of the features of other modern programming languages such as the familiar C, Visual Basic, and Power Builder. SAP graphical user interfaces (SAPGUI) runs on Windows / NT / UNIX / AS400.
SAP are categorized into 3 core functional areas:
1. Logistics
Sales and Distribution (SD)
Material Management (MM)
Warehouse Management (WM)
Production Planning (PP)
General Logistics (LO)
Quality Management (QM)
2. Financial
Financial Accounting (FI)
Controlling (CO)
Enterprise Controlling (EC)
Investment Management (IM)
Treasury (TR)
3. Human Resources
Personnel Administration (PA)
Personnel Development (PD)
