SAP has slowly evolved in terms of its product offerings. You will still come across SAP consultants who refer to the SAP system as SAP R/3, but as SAP’s product offerings have broadened, the reference to R/3 has been dropped. R/3 initially referred to SAP’s only product, the Enterprise Resource Planning [ERP] system, but today SAP offers a host of products of which SAP ERP Central Component is the heart [often referred to as SAP ECC]. The SAP ERP Central Component is where the original ERP [R/3] functionality is housed, and it is where all the data processing/business process transacting takes place. This above references is focused on the Financial [FI] and Controlling [CO] modules found in SAP ECC version 6.0.
The goal of these references is not to teach you how to implement one specific solution but to teach you how to configure the SAP system. Attempting to cover every possible configuration scenario you might encounter would be an impossible task, but after reading the book, you will be able to apply what you have learned and configure your system based on your business requirements.
SAP has now introduced many areas of functionality from its data warehouse often referred to as its business warehouse [BW] or, now more correctly, business intelligence [BI] which includes a host of reporting tools and functionality, not limited to business objects.
SAP also offers the following software sites.
Supplier Relationship Management [SRM]
Strategic Enterprise Management [SEM]
Catalog Content Management
Compliance Management for SOA
Supply Chain Management [SCM]
Product Lifecycle Management
Customer Relationship Management [CRM]
