What is SAP Basis?

If you made it this far, it is because you are familiar with SAP, as well as many of its features. But it is time to talk about one of the most essentials: SAP Basis.

So, What is SAP Basis? Here we explain it to you:

SAP Basis, stands for Business Application Software Integrated Solution.

It is a set of tools that act as a bridge between the operating system in which SAP is installed, and the communication protocols with the software. It also includes several commercial applications and the databases generated.

In addition to SAP Basis, it also includes other utilities of great interest for process management. We will talk about it below.

With SAP Basis, some of the objectives achieved are:

• Configuration and installation of SAP applications and systems.
• Determination of errors and adjustments of SAP systems to obtain the best performance.
• Ensuring that the users of the SAP systems have the correct authorization rights.

• Restoring essential data and keep backups.
• SAP TMS configuration that is used to manage transports between SAP systems.
