Presenting to you our SAP knowledge base, tailored to help streamline business processes in Sales & Distribution (SAP SD), Material Management (SAP MM), and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Our approach is not limited to the technical details of the settings, it also provides an understanding of how these settings affect each other and how best to build business processes from the point of view of the standard.

There are a lot of guides on how to set up SAP on the Internet, but they often miss aspects of how these settings relate to business processes. Moreover, while the existing documentation on SAP focuses on universal solutions, it often lacks detailed instructions and nuances

Our knowledge base aims to fill this gap. Creating business process schemas and a detailed description of the general settings in the MM, SD, EDI modules, as well as a description of their integration with the FI and CO modules is a valuable resource for those who plan to implement SAP and optimize business processes, as well as SAP users and technical support specialists.

Our detailed descriptions of settings and their impact on business processes will help specialists better understand how the system works and how it can be customized to suit their needs. Understanding the relationships between processes and their impact on the end result of the customer’s activities provides a deeper analysis and enables more effective problem-solving.

What sets us apart is our view of SAP as a tool for optimizing business processes, rather than merely a standalone technical instrument. We hope that this information will be useful for professionals seeking to maximize the potential of SAP in enhancing business operations.

We have future plans to develop dedicated sections on our website with access to standard industry design solutions.

This documentation will provide in-depth descriptions of typical business processes, and possible options for configuring the system for them. These solutions will be evaluated considering the pros and cons, and taking into account national legislation relevant to specific processes. One such example is the use of different standards for electronic data interchange: the ANSI ASC X-12 standard  (The American National Standards Institute’s Accredited Standards Committee X12) is widely used in the United States. But in the countries of Eastern and Western Europe, another standard for the exchange of electronic data, EANCOM, is common. If a US company plans to expand internationally and interact with major companies, adapting the system to different standards and requirements becomes essential. Any branches opened in other jurisdictions must comply with the laws and standards of those countries.

We’re in the early stages of working on this project. We’re busy preparing the materials needed for it. If you have any suggestions about what you’d like us to cover, please let us know. We’re eager to provide the information you seek.
