Enterprise-Wide IntegrationEnterprise-wide integration

is the main functionality of SAP R/3 System. No other applicationsoftware offers the breadth of open systems, client/server functionality, functional links betweenprocesses that multiply the

power of each person's work. The R/3 System's components are fullyintegrated. Once you enter

data, it resides in the central database shared by all R/3 components.Transaction-related processchains trigger the next activity as needed from engineering toproduction planning to sales and

distribution. The R/3 System's full integration pulls your enterprise together, promoting data

access, flexibility, and productivity.

Application server:The application server is used to run the business application programs inthe R/3 client/server

concept. The application modules are loaded from the data base server tothe application server as

required. Thus the application server requires only storage capacity toaccommodate UNIX,

Swapping and the SAP runtime environment.Database server:

The data base server stores the SAP application programs and data in the R/3client/server

concept. It also handles the SAP update program and batch jobs.

SAP Glossary 

GUI (Graphic User Interface)A graphical interface used by SAP environment as part of the three tiers. Also known as

frontend.

IMG (Implementation Management Guide)

It is a hierarchical structure that reflects the R/3 component hierarchy and contains

everyconfiguration activity. Released from version 3.0 onwardsInstance

It means application server and each one has its own set of work processes.SysID

A set of three letters or number that identify a system. Some sets are not allowed because theyare

used by SAP. They are informed when the system is installed.ITS (Internet Transaction Server)

It links the R/3 application server with one or more Web servers, thus enabling the R/3

tocommunicate with the Internet.

OSS (Online Service System)SAP's Online Service System offers fast and effective help for R/3 System problems. It is also

thebasic element of communications between customers, partners, and SAP.

RFC (Remote Function Call)

An IDoc is a data container for data exchange between SAP systems or between an SAP

systemand an external system.Archiving

 –  SAP’s terminology for the functionality that purges transactions and master datafrom the SAP

For practical purposes however, this is not recommended.

DART

This is SAP functionality whichallows you to periodically extract and retain data from your R/3

system.

The Personnel Structure: 

The Personnel Structure is split by Company Code, Personnel Area andPersonnelSubareas. There are other structures including employee groups/subgroups and thepay

scale structure, but in this section it’s Pers Areas and subareas which are the topicto be covered.An

implementation with one company, in one country, with various factories/sites maylook like

this: This is a typical example. The company code is easily defined, as it represents a legalentityso you have to set them up exactly as they are. This is a function of the Financeconfiguration and is

not covered here. 

The Personnel Area A Personnel Area is attached to a company code, so you will always have at least onearea per

company code. Generally, it represents a high level of the business. Quiteoften it represents a country

 – as shown in the example above. 

Some points to consider for Personnel Areas· Can be used to generate defaults e.g. work schedules, pay scale·

Selection criteria for reporting· Multiple Areas can be connected to one Company Code· Can be referred to

in Authorization checks· Connected to one company code· Must contain at least one Personnel subarea The Personnel Subarea/s 

Often a Personnel Subarea is used to show a geographic split of the Personnel Area.Forexample, if a UK company had 3 manufacturing plants, it would probably have

3personnel subareas representing them.If you have just one site, the personnel subarea may be used to represent

different splitsof employee, maybe factory vs staff; but generally it represents a physical location.The publicholiday calendar is attached to the personnel subarea, so if you have plantswith different holiday

calendars, you must have different subareas for each.Some points to consider for Personnel Subareas:· A sub-

division of Personnel Area· May be geographic or functional areas of the business· Provides groupings for wage

types, absences, payroll, work schedules, etc· Can (indirectly) be used in authorization checks·Selection criteria for reporting
