SAP FUNCTIONAL MODULES
( SOLUTIONS ) OVERVIEW
All you heard about SAP ERP software . But confused about functional
modules ? What is called a SAP Module or Which Module should I
Select? Why there are several modules and what is the requirement for
that. A lot of questions and doubts. Here is the answer with an
overview about Modules in SAP.
A company has different functions right? It will have a sales
department , marketing department, HR department, accounting
section etc etc. You all know all these section handles different
functions of a company and all are integrated with each other. For
example HR department linked with financial ( accounting ) team for
salary and other related things. Sales and Distribution need to link with
material storage ( stores ) to check the balance stock and all. Different
areas ( functions) of a company but all are interlinked for running as a
single unit of company.
In SAP software all these functions are divided as Modules. SAP MM
Module deals with material management sections , SAP SD module
deal with Sales & Distribution etc. Now I am sure that you got the
picture.
