2. What is SAP ERP
•SAP
 ERP is the Enterprise Resource Planning software
developed by SAP. It has been delivered by SAP in
different versions with different names (R/2, R/3, ECC6)
but pursues always the same objective: to provide
enterprises with a software package that covers almost
all their core
 IT needs in order to support their
operational cycle.
•SAP ERP supports
 all the core activities of the multi-
national companies including such domains as Finance,
Controlling, Logistics, Human Resources, … as well as
the technical integration aspects of these functional
domains. This focus on the core IT components of the
latest version of SAP ERP (ECC6) is reflected in the
version name of the product as ECC stands for
Enterprise Central Components

3. SAP FI/CO – Finance & Controlling
•SAP Finance covers essentially the external and internal
accounting needs of the companies.
•External accounting is treated within SAP Financial
Accounting and aims at fulfilling all the regulatory
requirements to which the companies are submitted
(including the periodic production of financial
statements). This accounting is said to be external
because it interests mainly external parties (fiscal
authorities, shareholders, auditors, …). It records
financial operations by nature.
•Internal accounting (also called management
accounting) is treated within SAP Controlling and aims at
providing decision makers with the necessary
information in order to assess the performance of the
company at a detailed level and to support their strategic
decisions.
This accounting is said to be internal as it interests
primarily the managers of the company. It records
financial operations also by destination.
