SAP R/3 Beginner Level Question #2 Module and Industry Solution

Q.) What is the difference between a module and an IS?

Answer:

This question is almost asked in all beginner level interviews.The answer for the samw is as under. SAP has many modules, where each module represents part of a business. A module is further broken down into various components. A module is the standard SAP solution for a business. Thus, the SD module may be broken down into the component Basic Functions, and then even further into Pricing. An IS, on the other hand, may consist of R/3 core modules that cover, for example, administrative processes, industry-specific enhancements, and complementary software components from partners and customers as well.
