SAP is a market leader in providing ERP (Enterprise Resource and Planning) solutions and services. In this chapter, we will try to understand more on ERP and where it should be used. In addition, we will learn the implementation techniques of ERP along with the ERP packages available in the market.
What is ERP?
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a software that is built to organizations belonging to different industrial sectors, regardless of their size and strength.
The ERP package is designed to support and integrate almost every functional area of a business process such as procurement of goods and services, sale and distribution, finance, accountings, human resource, manufacturing, production planning, logistics & warehouse management.
SAP was founded in 1972 in Walldorf, Germany. It stands for Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing. Over the years, it has grown and evolved to become the world premier provider of client/server business solutions for which it is so well known today. The SAP R/3 enterprise application suite for open client/server systems has established a new standards for providing business information management solutions.
SAP product are consider excellent but not perfect. The main problems with software product is that it can never be perfect.
The main advantage of using SAP as your company ERP system is that SAP have a very high level of integration among its individual applications which guarantee consistency of data throughout the system and the company itself.
In a standard SAP project system, it is divided into three environments, Development, Quality Assurance and Production.
The development system is where most of the implementation work takes place. The quality assurance system is where all the final testing is conducted before moving the transports to the production environment. The production system is where all the daily business activities occur. It is also the client that all the end users use to perform their daily job functions.
To all company, the production system should only contains transport that have passed all the tests.
SAP is a table drive customization software. It allows businesses to make rapid changes in their business requirements with a common set of programs. User-exits are provided for business to add in additional source code. Tools such as screen variants are provided to let you set fields attributes whether to hide, display and make them mandatory fields.
This is what makes ERP system and SAP in particular so flexible. The table driven customization are driving the program functionality instead of those old fashioned hard-coded programs. Therefore, new and changed business requirements can be quickly implemented and tested in the system.
Many other business application software have seen this table driven customization advantage and are now changing their application software based on this table customizing concept.
In order to minimized your upgrading costs, the standard programs and tables should not be changed as far as possible. The main purpose of using a standard business application software like SAP is to reduced the amount of time and money spend on developing and testing all the programs. Therefore, most companies will try to utilized the available tools provided by SAP.

SAP ABAP support by bob panic www.rockstarconsultinggroup.combob panic
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a system that integrates all of these functions into a single system, designed to serve the needs of each different department within the enterprise. ERP is more of a methodology than a piece of software, although it does incorporate several software applications, brought together under a single, integrated interface.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integrate primary business applications; all the applications in an ERP suite share a common set of data that is stored in a central database. A typical ERP system provides applications for accounting and controlling, production and materials management, quality management, plant maintenance, sales and distribution, human resources, and project management.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

ERP - What It Is
ERP is not just a software…but a complete business solution integrated across the entire value chain which creates an information infrastructure for efficient planning and effective execution.
ERP - What It’s Not ……
ERP facilitates the decision making but does not decide.
ERP provides comprehensive information to optimize but does not optimize dynamically.
It automates and integrates transactions but does not target the cycle time.
ERP will impact
Communication and information domain
Leadership and authority
Company policies
Jobs and rewards
Company structure and culture
Skills and knowledge of employees
Information is available online generally to a much broader audience
ERP can alter how work gets done and thus how people work together
ERP alters the level of decision-making authority
ERP can alter organizational structure
Recipe for a successful ERP application
Comprehensive functionality
Integration among modules and functions
Best Business Practices
Global support
In 1972, five former IBM employees -- Dietmar Hopp, Hans-Werner Hector, Hasso Plattner, Klaus Tschira, and Claus Wellenreuther -- launch a company called Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing in Mannheim, Germany. Their vision: to develop standard application software for real-time business processing.
SAP is now the recognized leader in providing collaborative business solutions for all types of industries and for every major market.
Serving more than 36,200 customers worldwide, SAP is the world's largest business software company and the world's third-largest independent software provider overall.
Today, SAP employs more than 38,400 people in more than 50 countries.
In 1990s SAP R/3 was released.
With SAP R/3, SAP ushers in a new generation of enterprise software -- from mainframe computing (client-server architecture) to the three-tier architecture of database, application, and user interface.
Heterogeneous Platforms
SAP was earlier divided into different Functional modules like Materials Management (MM), Sales & Distribution (SD), FI (Financial Accounting), CO (Controlling), HR (Human Resources), PP (Product Planning), PM (Plant Maintenance), PS (Project Systems) etc.
But, with the introduction of mySAP Business Suite, SAP is now organized into a service-based architecture, which has the following:
mySAP Customer Relationship Management
mySAP ERP
mySAP Product Lifecycle Management
mySAP Supply Chain Management
mySAP Supplier Relationship Management
All business processes throughout the supply chain are INTEGRATED & executed on a common system sharing all information
Scalability
Modular
Model innumerable business processes
Industry best practices
Can be customized
IS- Plug-in
With the Internet, the user becomes the focus of software applications. SAP develops mySAP Workplace and paves the way for the idea of an enterprise portal and role-specific access to information.
As mentioned earlier, with the introduction of mySAP Business Suite, SAP is now organized into a service-based architecture, which has the following:
mySAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
mySAP ERP
mySAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
mySAP Supply Chain Management (SCM)
mySAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM)
mySAP ERP addresses the core business software requirements of the most demanding midsize and large organizations -- in all industries and sectors.
mySAP ERP includes four individual solutions that support key areas of Enterprise Resource Planning:
mySAP ERP Human Capital Management (HCM) -- Maximize workforce potential.
mySAP ERP Financials -- Turn finance into a strategic business partner.
mySAP ERP Operations -- Free up resources; budget for innovation.
mySAP ERP Corporate Services -- Streamline business processes and costs.
SAP has since broadened the integration vision of mySAP Technology into a blueprint they call the Enterprise Services Architecture (ESA).
SAP NetWeaver is a comprehensive integration and application platform”, mySAP Technology is now renamed SAP NetWeaver™; NetWeaver delivers the ESA blueprint.
SAP NetWeaver is a vision, or paradigm, of total integration of :
People
Information
Business Processes
Applications
SAP has a team of over 2000 developers in a single organization, working on NetWeaver.
Quick Facts about SAP ERP6.0:
Launched in June 2006
Built on SAP NetWeaver 7.0
Approximately 7000 systems (12/2007)
Platform upon which SAP will deliver future software innovations
Software innovation delivered via “SAP enhancement packages”
Because configuration is captured in data, as opposed to code, it survives software upgrades and other changes.
R/3 applications are written in the ABAP programming language, and run within the application layer of the R/3 System.
ABAP programs communicate with the database management system of the central relational database (RDBMS), and with the graphical user interface (SAPGUI) at presentation level.
ABAP programs are objects of the R/3 Repository. Like all other Repository objects, you maintain them using an ABAP Workbench Tool.
To open ABAP programs directly from the tool ABAP Editor, select the menu path Tools -> ABAP Workbench ->Development -> User Interface -> ABAP Editor from the SAP menu of SAP Easy Access (or start Transaction SE38). If you want to change a program using this method, you must already know its name and environment.
This procedure is only suited for maintaining or creating relatively simple or short programs, which have few or no additional components. It is better to access ABAP programs through Tools -> ABAP Workbench -> Overview -> Object Navigator from the SAP menu of SAP Easy Access (or start Transaction SE80).
