Does any one know what the term SAP is? |
I am applying for a job in accounts and it requires a knowledge of SAP I am not sure what that is SAP actually stands for "Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung." In English, that's "Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing" SAP is the largest business application and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution vendor and one of the biggest software providers in terms of revenue in the world. For more info, see http://www.sap.com/index.epx. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sap_ag... Well at a guess you are not qualified for the job Its a software product. check out www.sap.com Standard Accounting Practice. SAPs are a set of rules by which accountants work. Very many of them and they take years to learn. SAP - What is SAP? SAP, started in 1972 by five former IBM employees in Mannheim, Germany, states that it is the world's largest inter-enterprise software company and the world's fourth-largest independent software supplier, overall. The original name for SAP was German: Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte, German for "Systems Applications and Products." The original SAP idea was to provide customers with the ability to interact with a common corporate database for a comprehensive range of applications. Gradually, the applications have been assembled and today many corporations, including IBM and Microsoft, are using SAP products to run their own businesses. SAP applications, built around their latest R/3 system, provide the capability to manage financial, asset, and cost accounting, production operations and materials, personnel, plants, and archived documents. The R/3 system runs on a number of platforms including Windows 2000 and uses the client/server model. The latest version of R/3 includes a comprehensive Internet-enabled package. SAP has recently recast its product offerings under a comprehensive Web interface, called mySAP.com, and added new e-business applications, including customer relationship management (CRM) and supply chain management (SCM). As of January 2007, SAP, a publicly traded company, had over 38,4000 employees in over 50 countries, and more than 36,200 customers around the world. SAP is turning its attention to small- and-medium sized businesses (SMB). A recent R/3 version was provided for IBM's AS/400 platform.

The answer above which gives you the German and English explanation is completely correct. I used SAP for four years in a previous job and I absolutely hated it. Such complicated procedures to do the simplest tasks. Now use Sage, and I much, much prefer it. |
