 What is ERP?

What is the simplest ERP definition?

Think about all the core processes needed to run a company: finance,
HR, manufacturing, supply chain, services, procurement, and others. At
its most basic level, ERP integrates these processes into a single system.
But new ERP systems are anything but basic. They provide visibility,
analytics, and efficiency across every aspect of a business. Using the
latest technologies, ERP systems facilitate the flow of real-time
information across departments, so businesses can make data-driven
decisions and manage performance
 What is ERP?
• ERP is the integration of core business processes, in real-time and mediated by software and
technology.
• Core Business Processes include:
▪ Production Planning
▪ Purchasing
▪ Sales
▪ Inventory Management
▪ Finance

The very fundamental question for any beginners is why Enterprise Resource Planning also called
ERP, is required? To answer this, let’s examine this typical business scenario.?

To know the answer we need to discuss Enterprise Systems

 Enterprise systems?
Based on the manner in which communication and data exchanged is managed. Enterprise systems can be broadly
classified as

1) Decentralized System

2) Centralized System which is also called as ERP.

Decentralized System LETS WATCH A VIDEO

Data is maintained locally at the individual departments

Departments do not have access to information or data from other departments

Centralized System [Also Called ERP System]

Data is maintained at a central location and is shared with various Departments

Departments have access to information or data from other Departments

Problems with the Decentralized system
Numerous disparate information systems
created individually over time which are
difficult to maintain
Integrating the data is time and money
consuming
Inconsistencies and duplication of data
Lack of timely information leads to customer
dissatisfaction, loss of revenue and reputation
High Inventory, material, and human resource
cost.
These are some major drawbacks for which
we need a solution. Well, the Solution lies
in Centralized Systems i.e., ERP.
Key benefits of the centralized system are:
It eliminates the duplication, discontinuity, and
redundancy in data
Provides information across departments in real time.
ERP System provides control over various business
processes
Increases productivity, better inventory management,
promotes quality, reduced material cost, effective human
resources management, reduced overheads boosts
profits
Better customer interaction and increased throughput. It
also improves customer service
Hence, a centralized enterprise management system is
required.
SAP Software is a centralized enterprise management
system, also known as Enterprise Resource Planning.
The meaning of the acronym SAP is Systems Applications
and Products in Data Processing
 Typical Business Process
A typical enterprise has many Departments/ Business units(BU).

These Departments/ BU continuously communicate and exchange data with

each other.

“The success of any organization lie’s in effective communication and data

exchange within the Departments/ BU as well as associated third party such as
Vendors, Outsourcers and Customers”.

 What is SAP?
What is SAP?
SAP stands for Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing. SAP, by definition, is
also the name of the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software as well as the name of the
company. SAP Software is a European multinational, founded in 1972 by Wellenreuther,
Hopp, Hector, Plattner, and Tschira. They develop software solutions for managing business
operations and customer relationships.
SAP system consists of a number of fully integrated modules, which covers virtually every
aspect of business management.
SAP is #1 in the ERP market. As of 2010, SAP has more than 140,000 installations
worldwide, over 25 industry-specific business solutions and more than 75,000 customers in
120 countries
 Why SAP? Why not others?
SAP is user-friendly, familiar looking, and has an experience of windows based applications
SAP can be used worldwide
It is easy to process user transactions with SAP
SAP improves the effectiveness and efficiency of the employees
SAP improves upon the business process efficiencies
SAP gives reliable, accurate, and instant information
SAP allows customizing the software to specific needs of the company
SAP is a affordable and no special software is required to access
SAP supports all the fields, such as Marketing, Finance, Human Resource, Logistics,
Operations, etc.
 What is SAP NetWeaver?
• Short Introduction of SAP NetWeaver

SAP NetWeaver is a technology of the software company SAP SE, and

the technical foundation for many SAP applications

The NetWeaver platform was a portal technology developed

by Israeli software company TopTier Software (founded in 1997), and
which SAP acquired in 2001. The founder of TopTier Software, Shai
Agassi, joined SAP and was given responsibility for the company's
overall technology strategy and execution. He initiated the development
of the integration and application platform that became the NetWeaver
platform.
 What is SAP NetWeaver?
What is the simplest SAP NetWeaver definition?

NetWeaver is SAP's integrated technology platform and is not a product in

itself. Note − The latest available version is SAP NetWeaver 7.5 released in Q4
2015.

SAP NetWeaver is an open technology platform that offers a comprehensive

set of technologies for running mission-critical business applications and
integrating people, processes, and information.

SAP NetWeaver (SAP NW) describes all the software and services used for
'Business Enablement'. The SAP Business suite, such as ERP Central
Component (ECC) or Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), contains the
software components for that specific business solution.
People integration:

It simply means that it

enables you to bring people
together and help them
work more efficiently.

Example:

Portal: - Provides industry

leading portal technology
that delivers unified,
personalized, and role-
based user access
Information integration:

It means you can bring

together information from a
variety of locations and have
it make sense in the context
of what your folks do every
day!

Example:

Business Intelligence:- It
provides you with reliable
tools for creating individual
and interactive reports and
applications.
Process integration:

It means coordinating the flow of work across

departments, divisions, and between
companies. Usage type process integration
includes all functions previously covered by SAP
NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure that you use
to realize cross-system business processes. This
SAP NetWeaver usage type enables different
versions of SAP and non-SAP systems from
different vendors running on different platforms
(for example, Java ABAP, and so on) to
communicate with each other. SAP NetWeaver is
based on an open architecture, primarily uses
open standards (in particular those from the XML
and Java environments), and provides services
that are essential in a heterogeneous and complex
system landscape. These include a runtime
infrastructure for exchanging messages,
configuration options for managing business
processes and the flow of messages, as well as
options for mapping messages before they reach
the receiver.
Application Platform:

SAP Web Application Server provides a

complete development infrastructure on
which you can develop, distribute, and
execute platform-independent, robust, and
scalable Web services and business
applications. SAP Web Application Server
supports ABAP, Java, and Web services.

Installation Options for the SAP

NetWeaver Application Server

For the installation of SAP NetWeaver

Application Server, you can select from the
following two installation options −

ABAP System − Using this installation

method, you can run ABAP programs and
also few selected SAP Java applications.

Java System − Using this installation

method, you can run J2EE applications but
not any ABAP programs

Reports:

Reports are just programs that generate lists of data Or maybe they've got a little bit of interactivity in them. But
basically they supply data to the front end databases the SAP GUI and so on.

When a user runs a report, they typically get a selection screen.

Once they enter their selection parameters and execute the report, they normally cannot intervene in the
execution of the program. The program runs and then displays the output.

Dynpro's are a little bit different.

Dynpro's are dynamic programs. They allow the user to intervene in the execution of the program and they
work by processing a series of screens that we call dialogue screens. The user determines the flow of the program
itself by choosing which buttons or fields to interact with on the screen. That action then triggers different functions
that have been coded
within the flow logic of a program. While we're creating a report we will be generating interfaces that clusters dim
prose for all our selection criteria. Now don't fret, because most of the work that ABAP people do is actually inside
report programs And even though these programs are classed as reports, they don't always generate output. The
report programs are there to process all the logic, reading and writing to the database.
ERP Software Vendor
SAP Business One is business management software (ERP) designed
for small and medium-sized enterprises, sold by the German company SAP SE.
As an ERP solution, it aims to automate key business functions in financials,
operations, and human resources.

SAP Business One was initially launched in Israel in 1996 under the name
"Menahel" ("manager") or "TopManage", for countries out of Israel. The
company was founded by Reuven Agassi (CEO) and Gadi Shamia (VP of sales,
marketing and product). The product was designed by Gadi Shamia and the
head developer was Hilla Mazinter.

In its first years, TopManage was sold in the Israeli market only, and was the
first Windows/Mac business management product to be offered in the Israeli
market. In 2000 TopManage started its global expansion into markets
in Europe and Latin America.

In March 2002, SAP purchased TopManage Financial Systems and branded

their system as SAP Business One. TopManage founders Reuven Agassi and
Gadi Shamia were given executive positions at SAP following the acquisition. A
year earlier, TopManage's sister company, TopTier, had also been acquired by
SAP. TopTier was founded by Reuven Agassi's son Shai Agassi.

The acquisition allowed SAP to reach out to the small market through its
partners and also to gain additional business from the smaller subsidiaries of
its enterprise customers.
