How To Understand SAP Modules Without Spending a Fortune (Mindmap)

Table of Contents

Do you ever wonder just what is in the SAP box? 

 

With so many SAP modules forming part of the core ERP solution, it can be very difficult to truly understand what SAP Modules are available and which ones do what.  

What Most Customers Ask Me About SAP

I have been surprised many times by both SAP prospects and SAP customers asking me just what SAP does.  To answer that, I built a mindmap that allows you to drill-down SAP Module by SAP Module, to explore the entire solution.  If you are an old SAP hand, this is probably not news to you.  

In order to answer the question, I first had to find the SAP Architecture documents available from the SAP Chief Technology Office.  As they are somewhat long, and you need to have considerable background knowledge to really dig down into them, I found the SAP MindMap the easiest way to simplify and interpret the content buried within them. 

SAP Modules

 

 

 

Fundamentally, the SAP ERP system is based on three Mega-SAP Modules, Finance, Logistics and HCM

However, the system also includes numerous other modules:

 

What You Get With My SAP MindMap

 

In my SAP MindMap, I provide drill-down exploration capability to each of these modules.  As SAP is all about Business Process Management, you can find a few of the potential linkages between modules, though I have not put all of those linkages in for clarity's sake.  This is how a SAP Solution Architect comes up with your custom SAP Solution Landscape.

 

Internal SAP Integration Points

 

I should also point out that integration is the key advantage of these packages. 

For instance, there are more than 200 built-in integration points between SAP CRM and all the other modules, such as the ERP system.  Get your copy of the Best Selling SAP Mindmap by click the image below.
