SAP Modules
When SAP migrated from R/3 to SAP ECC, the documentation officially switched from the term SAP module to the term component, yet many in the industry still use the term module. SAP ECC components have been merged so that they can function together. Both modules and components, in normal usage, refer to a segment of the software that is independently designed to handle a certain set of business processes (see figure). ECC is made up of ten functional core components, sometimes known as modules, and two technical components.
The business functions covered by the functional modules that are typically implemented in SAP ECC are listed below.
- SAP FICO: SAP FICO (SAP Finance and SAP Controlling) is made up of two modules that handle financial accounting and reporting, as well as cost planning and monitoring. They allow enterprises to manage and keep all of their financial data and transaction history in one location, as well as execute financial analytics.
- SAP Sales and Distribution (SD): The SAP SD module manages the major sales and distribution processes. This includes selling products or services to customers directly or through distribution networks. SD is also in charge of customer returns, billing, and credit issuance.
- SAP Materials Management (MM): The SAP MM module handles supplier procurement of materials and services, as well as inventory processes such as counting and reconciling physical inventory. MM also oversees all goods issuance, receipts, and material transfers from one plant or storage location to another.
- SAP Human Capital Management (HCM): SAP HR-related functions are managed by the HCM module. Payroll, time management activities such as attendance and leave, career development, travel, and workplace safety are all included. Submodules within functional modules can be implemented as needed.
- SAP Customer Service (CS): The CS module manages the business processes for providing customer equipment maintenance services. CS also includes the option to bill customers for maintenance services rendered.
- SAP Quality Management: The QM module is deeply integrated into the procurement, production, sales, and equipment maintenance processes. Advanced features include the ability to manage full internal or external audits. QM can also assist in determining the root causes of product failure to ensure that a company’s business processes continue to improve in quality.
