What SAP ERP can do for you can amaze you leaps and bounds, and everyone knows they need to go SAP, ASAP. But to digitally transform with SAP software, figuring out how to jump in and make sense of it all is a stumbling block.  

This prompts the critical question of who is more likely to catch the SAP wave by successfully deploying the right SAP modules and learning how to use them for upskilling as well as enterprise transformation.  

Wherever you are in your buying journey – whether you are confident, fearful, or somewhere in between, this blog can help you understand the key SAP modules. But let us begin with the basics. 

What is SAP? 

SAP is a German-based globally recognized, preferred and accepted ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software company. SAP stands for “System Analysis and Program Development”. SAP’s suite of applications now connects all aspects of enterprise operations, leveraging cloud, AI, ML, automation, and predictive analytics to drive IT modernization across industries. 

What are SAP Modules? 

SAP modules are specialized components within the SAP ERP system, each focused on a specific business area like finance, procurement, supply chain, or warehousing. They collect and process relevant data, enabling real-time analysis and seamless integration with the central system for informed decision-making. 

There are 2 broad categories of SAP modules: 

  1. SAP Functional Modules: These modules focus on covering all day-to-day critical business elements including accounting, HR, quality management, plant maintenance, and material management. They can be used to automate key business processes and remove manual work as well as business silos.
  2. SAP Technical Modules: These are backend modules used to customize ERP and manage the SAP ecosystem in the company.
