SAP MM

SAP MM       

SAP is the abbreviated term for Systems, Applications, and Products. The SAP ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software package was first developed by SAP AG in Germany and is comprised of numerous modules that allow businesses to deliver excellent customer satisfaction while taking full control of daily operations to maximize results.

Among the many modules is the SAP MM (Materials Management) module, which is part of the logistics area and is often integrated into production and manufacturing facilities that utilize SAP. The SAP MM module handles the procurement and inventory functions of organizations that engage in large volumes of purchasing by giving them hands-on control of inventory management, batch management, purchasing, client categorization, valuation, invoice verification and procurement process, just to name a few. In a nutshell, if you are considering a career path as a SAP MM consultant the prospects are basically endless.

With the use of SAP ERP, businesses in essence automate the input and output of information across specific sections of their organization. For those concerned about materials management, the SAP MM module is integrated with other modules such as Sales and Distribution (SD), Warehouse Management (WM), Production Planning (PP), Quality Management (QM), Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO) so external and internal aspects are factored into each decision stage. It is therefore imperative that a deep understanding of how these modules work alongside the SAP MM module is fully in place to generate accurate input and output information in a quick and reliable manner. For this reason beginners and even seasoned SAP MM consultants must have a full understanding of SAP Financial Accounting and SAP Warehouse training.

SAP BASIS INTRODUCTION

   

                          SAP has done nothing less than change the entire systems landscape for enterprises. The benefits it can bring have led to widespread adoption across the globe. One of the key benefits SAP brings to an enterprise is the ability to integrate the data both within the enterprise, and between it and it’s partners / competitors. In many cases organizations today are both partners and competitors at the same time. 

                      Think of wholesalers and distributors, SAP and Oracle, AT&T and BT, or two oil giants who have an upstream joint venture. These companies use SAP to integrate process between themselves for their mutual benefit. This ability to integrate, however, brings with it a particular risk – that of exposing their data to the un-authorized outside world. Entire companies have been built up around highly guarded intellectual property and process secrets ... and could easily fall if this was breached. Therefore, keeping the security of the organization intact is one of the vital aspects of any SAP implementation

                     .SAP BASIS addresses all security issues by incorporating an authorization module. With increased potential for security breaches in the computer systems around the world, BASIS consultants face a tough task of maintaining the integrity and administering the security of SAP systems. Interoperability features of a SAP system makes this task a bit more difficult.
