SAP Sales and Distribution is one of the key components of SAP ERP system and is used to manage shipping, billing, selling and transportation of products and services in an organization.
SAP Sales and Distribution (SAP SD) is a core functional module in SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) that allows organizations to store and manage customer- and product-related data. Organizations use this data to manage all of the sales ordering, shipping, billing, and invoicing of their goods and services.
SAP SD is part of SAP ECC’s Logistics function and integrates with other modules, including Production Planning (PP), Plant Maintenance (PM), Quality Management (QM), Materials Management (MM), Finance and Controlling (FICO), and Human Resources (HR).
SAP Sales and Distribution module is a part of SAP Logistics module that manages customer relationship starting from raising a quotation to sales order and billing of the product or service. This module is closely integrated with other modules like SAP Material Management and PP.
In SAP Sales and Distribution module are:
Customer and Vendor Master Data
Sales Support
Shipping of Material
Sales Activities
Billing related
Transportation of products
Credit Management
Contract Handling and Management
Foreign Trade
Information System
SAP provides many components to complete SAP Sales and Distribution organizational structure like Sales Areas, Distribution Channels, Divisions, etc.
The SAP SD organization structure majorly consists of two steps:
Creation of Organization elements in SAP system
Second is to link each element as per requirement.
On top of this organization structure in the SD module, sales organization is at highest level and is responsible for distribution of goods and services. SAP recommends to keep the number of sales organizations in an organizational structure to be minimum. This will help in making the reporting process easy and ideally it should have a single sales organization. The next level is distribution channel, which tells the medium by which the products and services are distributed by an organization to its end users. Division in an organizational structure, which represents a product or service line in a single organization. A sales area is known as entity, which is required to process an order in a company. It comprises of sales organization, distribution channel and a division. In SAP SD organizational structure, each sales organization is assigned to a company code. Then the distribution channel and divisions are assigned to sales organization and all of these comprise to make a sales area. In the first step of an SD organizational structure, sales organization is assigned to a company code and then is to define a distribution channel and then division to a sales organization.

SAP MM (Material Management) is one of the important modules in SAP ERP software and MM application module supports the procurement and inventory functions occurring in day-to-day business operations.
The typical procurement cycle for a service or material consists of the following phases:
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control. (This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records, use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter.) You can enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials planning and control system.
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longer-term purchase agreements. This speed the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have the system generate them automatically. Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts (in the SAP System, types of longer-term purchase agreement) are also supported.
The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and – if necessary – automatically prints reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals. It also provides you with an up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and under deliveries of ordered goods.
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speed the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.

ABAP stands for Advanced Business Application Programming. It is a programming language developed by SAP. SAP is a German company that develops ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning System) systems. These systems are used by companies to track all information related to the business integrating finance, sales, and materials data. ABAP/4 is the programming language used for the thousand tiny embedded programs called transactions that make up the application. The /4 means it is a fourth-generation language.
SAP is very flexible, it can be used for specific business functions rather than the whole enterprise and can be modified for the companies specific needs. Every SAP installation has its own specific configuration and set of functions. The cost of customizing is that when upgraded every customization must be identified in the ABAP code and changes made.
ABAP doesn’t stand alone, and it is highly integrated with other features of the SAP NetWeaver ABAP application server. Among these are the following:
ABAP continues to be an important part of SAP’s technology stack.
Though it has played a reduced role in many products with the advent of the HANA platform, it is still central to SAP’s most widely deployed products, plays an important role in SAP’s next-generation S/4HANA ERP platform and has been announced as a runtime for the SAP Cloud Platform.

SAP HANA is an in-memory, column-oriented, relational database management system developed and marketed by SAP. Its primary function as a database server is to store and retrieve data as requested by the applications.
In addition, it performs advanced analytics (predictive analytics, spatial data processing, text analytics, text search, streaming analytics, graph data processing) and includes ETL capabilities as well as an application server.
Today’s business users need to react much more quickly to changing customer and market environments. They demand dynamic access to raw data in real time. SAP HANA empowers users with flexible, on-the-fly data modelling functionality by providing non materialized views directly on detailed information.
Traditional database management systems are designed for optimizing performance on hardware with constrained main memory. Disk I/O was the main bottleneck. The focus was on optimizing disk access, for example, by minimizing the number of disk pages to be read into main memory during processing.
The SAP HANA database is designed from the ground up around the idea that memory is available in abundance, considering that roughly 18 billion gigabytes or 18 exabytes are the theoretical limits of memory capacity for 64-bit systems, and that I/O access to the hard disk is not a constraint. Instead of optimizing I/O hard disk access, SAP HANA optimizes memory access between the CPU cache and main memory. SAP HANA is a massively parallel (distributed) data management system that runs fully in main memory, allowing for row- and column based storage options, and supporting built-in multitenancy.
SAP HANA serves as a foundation to develop future in-memory analytic and transactional applications. The SAP HANA database can potentially provide performance improvements for existing SAP applications where, for example, SAP applications that use Open SQL can run on SAP HANA without changes.
Only SAP HANA takes full advantage of all-new hardware technologies by combining columnar data storage, massively parallel processing (MPP), and in-memory computing by using optimized software design.
SAP S/4HANA® is SAP’s next-generation business suite, providing a digital core for your organization. It is a new product fully built on SAP HANA®, one of the most advanced in-memory platforms today, employing modern design principles with the SAP® Fiori® user experience (UX). SAP S/4HANA delivers massive simplifications in areas such as customer adoption, data model, user experience, decision making, business processes, and models. And it offers innovations for the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, business networks, and mobile-first to help businesses Run Simple in the digital economy.
SAP S/4HANA is designed to integrate with and utilize the IoT, Big Data, mobile, business networks, third-party systems, and more. SAP S/4HANA helps our customers create a truly Live Business:
SAP Business Suite 4 SAP HANA (or SAP S/4HANA) is a business suite that is built on SAP’s proprietary operational database system and in-memory computing platform called SAP HANA.
Basically, SAP has re-engineered the S/4 platform to maximize the in-memory capabilities of HANA database.
S/4 HANA provides a new data model by removing old tables, aggregate tables and index tables to create fewer columnar-based tables and deliver a real single version of the data. Due to the optimized database model, data footprint is substantially reduced since the calculations are performed on database layer instead of the traditional application layer.
