To talk about SAP, you must first define what an ERP is. An Enterprise Resource Planning is business process management software that manages and integrates the finance, supply chain, operations, trade, reporting, manufacturing, and human resource activities of a company.

 

SAP is an ERP created by Germans. It is a system that helps companies with the management of their processes. One of the characteristics of SAP is its great order: thus dividing each of its processes and activities into modules, making everything more user-friendly.

 

SAP modules:

 

SD: is in charge of sales and distribution, everything concerning customer orders, order tracking, billing and shipping.

 

FI: in this SAP module everything that has to do with finances is managed, among these activities are: fixed assets, configuration of wholesale accounts, accounts payable, financial statements and treasury.

 

MM: this is the materials management module. Covers inventory, material valuation, vendor orders, purchasing, and consumption-based planning.

 

PP: production planning, schedule planning, production orders and plant confirmation and control are managed.

 

SAP also has a wide range of reports that allow you to view all the data and procedures that are handled in its different modules, thus offering the user a clear image of the company's administrative process.
