MODULES WITHIN THE SAP ERP INTEGRATED INFORMATION SYSTEMS ENVIRONMENT
Ellen F. Monk and Bret J. Wagner. (2009). Concepts in Enterprise Resource Planning. – Boston: Course Technology Cengage Learning.

FUNCTION OF THE MODULES
The Sales and Distribution (SD) module records sales orders and scheduled deliveries. Information about the customer (pricing, how and where to ship products, how the customer is to be billed, and so on) is maintained and accessed from this module. The Materials Management (MM) module manages the acquisition of raw materials from suppliers (purchasing) and the subsequent handling of raw materials inventory, from storage to work-in-progress goods to shipping of finished goods to the customer. The Production Planning (PP) module maintains production information. Here production is planned and scheduled, and actual production activities are recorded.

The Quality Management (QM) module plans and records quality control activities, such as product inspections and material certifications. The Plant Maintenance (PM) module manages maintenance resources and planning for preventive maintenance of plant machinery, to minimize equipment breakdowns. The Asset Management (AM) module helps the company to manage fixed-asset purchases (plant and machinery) and related depreciation. The Human Resources (HR) module facilitates employee recruiting, hiring, and training. This module also includes payroll and benefits.

The Project System (PS) module allows the planning for and control over new R&D, construction, and marketing projects. This module allows for costs to be collected against a project, and it is frequently used to manage the implementation of the SAP ERP system. PS manages build-to-order items, which are low-volume, highly complex products such as ships and aircrafts. The Financial Accounting (FI) module records transactions in the general ledger accounts. This module generates financial statements for external reporting purposes.

The Controlling (CO) module serves internal management purposes, assigning manufacturing costs to products and to cost centers, so that the profitability of the company’s activities can be analyzed. The CO module supports managerial decision making. The Workflow (WF) module is not a module that automates a specific business function. Rather, it is a set of tools that can be used to automate any of the activities in SAP ERP. It can perform task-flow analysis and prompt employees (by ) if they need to take action. Workflow is ideal for business processes that are not daily activities, but that occur frequently enough to be worth the effort to implement workflow, such as preparing customer invoices.
