SAP Technical

The role of SAP Technical Consultants encompasses the technical aspects of business programming. They are responsible for developing custom objects, configuring technical elements, and customizing standard SAP objects to ensure the seamless operation of business processes.

In addition to functional modules, SAP encompasses various technical modules, such as SAP Basis, SAP ABAP, SAP CRM, SAP XI/PI, SAP Netweaver, and more.

SAP Basis plays a unique and crucial role in the SAP architecture. It serves as a bridge between the underlying computing infrastructure, including the operating system, database, and network architectures, and the various SAP modules like FICO, MM, and SD. Essentially, Basis is responsible for the administration of the SAP system.

SAP ABAP, on the other hand, is a sophisticated programming language developed by SAP, standing for Advanced Business Application Programming. Its latest iteration, 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. For example, the transaction code VA01 is used to create sales orders.

SAP CRM, which stands for Customer Relationship Management, is crucial for enterprises looking to implement SAP. Organizations acquire SAP products from SAP AG Inc. and require customization to meet their specific needs. This is where SAP consultants come into play. Functional consultants comprehend the client's business requirements and, drawing upon their SAP product expertise, determine how to tailor the product to meet those needs.
