An ERP was built based on the former SAP R/3 software. SAP R/3, which was
officially launched on 6 July 1992, consisted of various applications on top of
SAP Basis, SAP's set of middle ware programs and tools. All applications were
built on top of the SAP Web Application Server. Extension sets were used to
deliver new features and keep the core as stable as possible. The Web
Application Server contained all the capabilities of SAP Basis.
A complete architecture change took place with the introduction of mySAP ERP
in 2004. R/3 Enterprise was replaced with the introduction of ERP Central
Component (SAP ECC). The SAP Business Warehouse, SAP Strategic
Enterprise Management and Internet Transaction Server were also merged into
SAP ECC, allowing users to run them under one instance. The SAP Web
Application Server was wrapped into SAP NetWeaver, which was introduced in
2003. Architectural changes were also made to support an enterprise service
architecture to transition customers to a Service-oriented architecture.[5]
The latest version, SAP ERP 6.0, was released in 2006. SAP ERP 6.0 has since
then been updated through SAP enhancement packs, the most recent: SAP
enhancement package 8 for SAP ERP 6.0 in 2016...
Implementation[edit]
SAP ERP consists of several modules, including Financial Accounting (FI),
Controlling (CO), Asset Accounting (AA), Sales & Distribution (SD), Material
Management (MM), Product Planning (PP), Quality Management (QM), Project
System (PS), Plant Maintenance (PM), Human Resources (HR).[6] SAP ERP
collects and combines data from the separate modules to provide the company
or organization with enterprise resource planning.
