General InfoEdit

System SAP ERP (previously SAP R/3) has a modular structure, that is contains number of modules accessible by one login to the SAP ERP system (with the exception of SAP BW and SAP KW).

SAP ERP modules are widely known by their abbreviations. Modules are organized hierarchically, that is have submodules (ex. Fixed Assets FI-AA is a submodule of Finance FI). Some modules are extensions of existing modules, but are not officially a submodule (ex. Fleet Management FM is an extension of Plant Maintenace PM).

Some parts of SAP software are also described with module code due to support issues. These are Technical Modules.
