SAP Technical Specification

Prepared by: [YOUR NAME]

I. Objective

The primary objective of this document is to outline the technical specifications required for the SAP system. This includes details on software requirements, hardware requirements, user roles, data migration strategies, and security measures essential for the successful implementation and maintenance of the SAP system.

II. Scope

This document encompasses the following:

  • System Architecture

  • Software Requirements

  • Hardware Requirements

  • Data Migration

  • User Roles and Permissions

  • Security and Compliance

  • Reporting and Analytics

III. System Architecture

The SAP system architecture should be designed to ensure high availability, scalability, and performance. It should comprise the following key components:

  • SAP Application Server

  • Database Server

  • Presentation Layer

Component

Description

SAP Application Server

This server hosts the core SAP applications and performs all essential business logic.

Database Server

Stores all the data and serves as the backend for the SAP applications.

Presentation Layer

Interfaces users with the SAP system, typically through a browser or SAP GUI client.

IV. Software Requirements

  • SAP ERP: Version 6.0 or higher

  • Database: Oracle 12c, Microsoft SQL Server 2016 or SAP HANA

  • Web Server: Apache Tomcat 9

  • Operating System: Windows Server 2016 or above, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or above

V. Hardware Requirements

Minimum specifications for the hardware to support the SAP system:

Component

Minimum Specification

CPU

Intel Xeon E5-2670

Memory

64 GB RAM

Storage

1 TB SSD

Network

1 Gbps Ethernet

VI. Data Migration

The data migration strategy must ensure data integrity, consistency, and continuity. The key steps involved are:

  1. Data Extraction

  2. Data Transformation

  3. Data Loading

  4. Data Validation

A detailed plan should be created for each step, ensuring minimal downtime and accurate data transfer.

VII. User Roles and Permissions

Define roles and permissions to ensure that users have the appropriate access levels. Common roles include:

  • Administrator

  • Power User

  • End User

Each role should have specific permissions that align with their job functions and responsibilities.

VIII. Security and Compliance

The SAP system must adhere to industry standards and regulations. Key security measures include:

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

  • Data Encryption (in transit and at rest)

  • Regular Security Audits

  • Compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, etc.

IX. Reporting and Analytics

The SAP system should support robust reporting and analytics capabilities. Essential features include:

  • Real-time Reporting

  • Customizable Dashboards

  • Advanced Analytics (Predictive, Prescriptive)

  • Integration with BI tools (SAP BW, SAP BusinessObjects)

X. Acceptance Criteria

The SAP system will be considered successfully implemented when it meets the following criteria:

  • All software and hardware requirements are fulfilled.

  • Data migration is completed without errors.

  • User roles and permissions are correctly configured.

  • Security standards are fully implemented and verified.

  • Reports and analytics function as required.

  • End-to-end testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) are successfully completed.
