SAP ABAP/4

TECHNICAL MODULE

SAP - ABAP/4

SAP R/3 is a client/server based application, utilizing a 3-tiered model. A presentation layer, or client, interfaces with the user. The application layer houses all the business-specific logic, and the database layer records and stores all the information about the system, including transactional and configuration data.

SAP R/3 functionality is structured using its own proprietary language called ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming). ABAP, or ABAP/4 is a fourth generation language (4GL), geared towards the creation of simple, yet powerful programs. R/3 also offers a complete development environment where developers can either modify existing SAP code to modify existing functionality or develop their own functions, whether reports or complete transactional systems within the SAP framework.

SAP - ERP

 SAP - ERP 

SAP AG  is a German software corporation that makes enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations.

SAP was founded in June 1972 as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung ("System Analysis and Program Development") by five former IBM engineers in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg (Dietmar Hopp, Klaus Tschira, Hans-Werner Hector, Hasso Plattner, and Claus Wellenreuther). The acronym was later changed to stand for Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung ("Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing").

In 1973 the SAP R/1 solution was launched. Six years later, in 1979, SAP launched SAP R/2. In 1981, SAP brought a re-designed product to market. However, SAP R/2 did not improve until the period between 1985 and 1990. SAP developed and released several versions of R/3 in 1992.

 SAP R/3

SAP stands for Systems, Applications and Products in data processing 

R/3 Stands for
R = REAL TIME
3 = THREE - TIRE ARCHITECTURE

Three-tier architecture has the following three tiers: 

1. Presentation tier

This is the topmost level of the application. The presentation tier displays information related to such services as browsing merchandise, purchasing, and shopping cart contents. It communicates with other tiers by outputting results to the browser/client tier and all other tiers in the network.

2. Application tier (business logic, logic tier, data access tier, or middle tier)

The logic tier is pulled out from the presentation tier and, as its own layer, it controls an application’s functionality by performing detailed processing.

3. Data tier

This tier consists of database servers. Here information is stored and retrieved. This tier keeps data neutral and independent from application servers or business logic. Giving data its own tier also improves scalability and performance.

E R P: Enterprise Resource Planning

ERP- Enterprise Resource Planning is a term originally derived from Material Requirements Planning (MRP) followed by Manufacturing Resource Planning        

“Companies are realizing the significance of ERP as an essential pillar in building the real-time enterprise. Real-time enterprises need extendible business functionality based on a solid but flexible IT infrastructure that allows them to quickly adapt business processes and add functionality without having to overhaul their underlying technology foundation”.

 

•         ERP systems typically handle the following for a company

–        Manufacturing

–        Distribution

–        Inventory

–        Shipping

–        Invoicing

–        Accounting

–        HR etc.

 

ERP System Integrates internal and external management information across an entire organization, embracing finance/accounting, manufacturing, sales and service, customer relationship management,supply chain, HR(All required resources to run the Enterprise) etc. ERP systems automate this activity with an integrated software application. Its purpose is to facilitate the flow of information between all business functions inside the boundaries of the organization and manage the connections to outside stakeholders. ERP systems can run on a variety of hardware and network configurations, typically employing a database as a repository for information.

ERP systems typically include the following characteristics:

·       An integrated system that operates in real time (or next to real time), without relying   

         on periodic updates.

·       A common database, which supports all applications.

·       A consistent look and feel throughout each module.

·       Installation of the system without elaborate application/data integration by the 

         Information Technology (IT) department.

·       General ledger, payables, cash management, fixed assets, receivables, budgeting,

         consolidation. etc.
