What Is Client

- A client is a unique organizational structure in SAP that can contain one or more company codes, each representing a separate legal entity. - Configuration uses the existing functionality and data in a system to meet business needs, while customization adapts or maps the system's functionality to business processes. - Customization generally involves more complex code changes and can complicate upgrades, so configuration should be used wherever possible to avoid these issues.

What is Client? What is the difference between Customization and Configuration?

The difference between cutomizing and configuration is:


- CONFIGURATION: we will configure the system to meet the needs of your business
by using the existing data.
- CUSTOMIZING: we will customise or adapt the system to your business
requirements, which is the process of mapping SAP to your business process.
- CLIENT: A client is a unique one in organizational structure, can have one or more
company codes. Each company code is its own legal entity in finance.

Configuration  vs. Customization


When considering enterprise software of any type, it is important to understand the
difference between configuration and customization.The crux of the difference is
complexity. Configuration uses the inherent flexibility of the enterprise software to add
fields, change field names,modify drop-down lists, or add buttons. Configurations are
made using powerful built-in tool sets. Customization involves code changes to create
functionality that is not available through configuration. Customization can be costly and
can complicate future upgrades to the software because the code changes may not easily
migrate to the new version.Wherever possible, governments should avoid customization
by using configuration to meet their goals.Governments also should understand their
vendor's particular terminology with regard to this issue since words like
"modifications" or "extensions" often mean different things to different vendors.        *--

What is SAP R3?


We know that SAP R/3 is software, it particular it is client-server software. This means
that the groups/layers 
that make up a R/3 System are designed to run simultaneously across several separate
computer systems. 

When you install Microsoft Excel on your PC, each component of Excel (printing
components, graphing components, word processing components, and etc.) is
stored,managed, and processed via the hardware of your PC.   When a company installs
SAP’s software each component (or "layer” in R/3’s case) is stored, managed, and
processed via the hardware of separate and specialized computer systems. Each of the
various layers is capable of calling upon the specialty of any of the other installed layers
in order to complete a given task. 
What is meant by SAP ECC?

SAP is an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) module, ECC is the version of SAP, like
4.6, 4.6c and 4.7 in that series new version is ECC-6. Its known as Enterprise core
component.

SAP R/3 :

SAP R/3 is SAP's integrated software solution for client/server and distributed open
systems. SAP's R/3 is the world's most-used standard business software for client/server
computing. 

R/3 stands for Real Time and 3-tier architecture.

mySAP :

In SAP's words "mySAP.com is an open collaborative business environment of


personalized solutions on demand."

In our words, mySAP.com is actually a collection of three things.

a) The Marketplace is a website where buyers and sellers can register themselves, and
then buy and sell from each other.

b) The Workplace is a piece of software which sits on your desktop, and allows you
(after ity is setup correctly) to gain access to all of the systems you use in your company.
It is, naturally, tightly integrated with both SAP and the Marketplace.

c) mySAP.com is also the umbrella name for all of SAP's internet-enabled applications.

ASAP : ASAP (AcceleratedSAP) is a step-by-step methodology for speeding up the


implementation of an SAP R/3 system. The components of ASAP, which can be used
together or individually, are called accelerators. 

Accelerators are based on the best practices of SAP customers from around the world
and consist of a number of templates, questions, and scenarios that require user input to
help the user determine the best way to implement their R/3 system. According to SAP
literature, ASAP can reduce the time required to implement an R/3 system by as much as
50%
