Concepts shared by all modules

Read this before the first module: this vocabulary comes up everywhere.

ERP and integration

SAP is an ERP: a single database for purchasing, sales, production, the warehouse and finance. Data entered once is reused everywhere.

The client

A complete, self-contained environment (data, configuration, users). E.g. 100 = production, 200 = training. You always log on to a client.

Organizational structure

Company code (legal entity), plant (site), storage location, purchasing organization, sales organization… Defined once during the project, almost impossible to change afterwards.

Configuration, master data, documents

Configuration (SPRO) sets the rules; master data (material, BP) is stable; documents (purchase order, invoice) record day-to-day transactions.

Transactions

Each screen has a code: ME21N, VA01, FB50. Type /n + code to replace the current screen, /o + code to open a new session.

Dialog and background

In dialog, SAP works while you wait. In the background (job), it works on its own; you check the result in SM37. MRP, F110 or mass billing often run as jobs.

The document flow

Each document is created with reference to the previous one. The document flow traces the whole chain: the first thing to check when you need to understand a problem.

S/4HANA and Fiori

S/4HANA is the current generation of SAP on the HANA database: simplified tables (MATDOC, ACDOCA), Business Partner, Fiori apps. SAP GUI is still available.
