SAP MODULES OVERVIEW

Many programme teams were organized along SAP modules lines, so that we have
a FI\CO an MM, a HR team, for eg traning course were(therefor) often prepare and
delivered along SAP modules lines too.The result of this was that solutions were
frequently optimized along SAP modules lines, and less often well intergrated, and
as for users, well they were pretty much trained up in a sap modules and left to get
on with it post go-live.Fortonately those days are mostly passed, and more and
more programmes(fordesign to build to traning) are being organized along process
line such as order to cash(including parts of SD,FI-AR and probably TY as well
purchase to pay(including MM-purchasing and FI-AP).Record to report(FI-GL etc)

now are using the term ‘solution’.Which is much better as follows:
➢ Finincials
➢ Human resources
➢ Customer relationship management
➢ Supplier relationship management
➢ Product life cycle management
