SAP Corporate

The role of SAP Corporate Consultants encompasses the corporate aspects of business programming. These professionals are responsible for developing custom objects, performing technical configuration, and customizing standard SAP components to ensure the smooth operation of business processes.

In addition to functional modules, SAP comprises various technical modules, including SAP Basis, SAP ABAP, SAP CRM, SAP XI/PI, SAP Netweaver, and more.

SAP Basis occupies a unique position within the SAP architecture, acting as a vital bridge between the underlying computing infrastructure, which includes the operating system, database, and network architectures, and the various SAP modules like FICO, MM, and SD. In essence, Basis is responsible for the administration of the SAP system.

SAP ABAP, on the other hand, is a high-level programming language developed by SAP, standing for Advanced Business Application Programming. Its latest version, ABAP Objects, introduces object-oriented programming. SAP can run applications written in both ABAP/4, the earlier version of ABAP, and applications utilizing ABAP Objects. Typically, transaction codes are used to execute ABAP programs, such as the transaction code VA01 for creating sales orders.

SAP CRM, which stands for Customer Relationship Management, is indispensable when enterprises, such as manufacturing companies, seek to implement SAP. Organizations acquire SAP products from SAP AG Inc. and require customization to meet their specific corporate needs. This is where SAP consultants come into play. Functional consultants understand the client's corporate requirements and, drawing upon their SAP product expertise, determine how to tailor the product to meet those needs.
