ALL SAP ECC MODULES (BUSINESS UNITS)

LIST OF ALL SAP ECC MODULES

SAP ECC is structured into individual modules.
These can be divided into three application areas: Logistics, Finance and Human Resources.
Each SAP module can be used to map different tasks of a company in the SAP system.

A company can use the entire SAP system or just individual modules.
The modules are not clearly separated and independent of each other, but are closely linked. As a result, all of a company's work tasks, functions and processes can ultimately be mapped and controlled in one SAP system.

There are corresponding industry solutions for special industries that are not covered by the standard SAP system. Additional modules or components can be installed later if required.
