SAP stands for S ystems A pplications and

SAP ERP consists of several modules,
including Financial Accounting (FI),
Controlling (CO), Asset Accounting (AA), Sales
& Distribution (SD), Material Management
(MM), Product Planning (PP), Quality
Management (QM), Project System (PS),
Plant Maintenance (PM), Human Resources
(HR).
SAP ERP collects and combines data
from the separate modules to provide the
company or organization with enterprise
resource planning.

Typical implementation phases:
Phase 1 - Project Preparation
Phase 2 - Business Blueprint
Phase 3 - Realization
Phase 4 - Final Preparation
Phase 5 - Golive Support
Companies planning to implement or upgrade
an SAP ERP system should pay strict
attention to system integration to save their
SAP ERP implementation from failure. With
system integration in place, data flows move
completely and correctly among various SAP
ERP components, thereby not only
streamlining business processes but also
eliminating or minimizing redundant data entry
efforts. SAP Transport Management System (TMS) is
a tool within SAP ERP systems to manage
software updates, termed transports , on one or
more connected SAP systems. This should not
be confused with SAP Transportation
Management, a stand-alone module for
facilitating logistics and supply chain
management in the transportation of goods
and materials.
