some kind of internal transactions. These are
facilitated by ERP
2. E-business is best supported by a well-tuned
ERP system.
3. There are many different ERP and e-business
strategies. These are determined by technical
capabilities, industry position, and willingness to
change among other factors.

SAPoffice
Component-Dependent Folders
• ASAP uses templates in SAPoffice for general
project documentation.
• While generating your Enterprise IMG, the
system creates a component-dependent folder
structure in SAPoffice.
• ‘Component dependent folders’ are used to store
text documents concerning the functions &
processes of the SAP R/3 implementation.
• Component dependent folders are independent of
a specific project.
SAPoffice
Component Independent Folders
• Each Project IMG generates a componentindependent folder structure in SAP Office in
addition to
the component-dependent structure.
• Every project creates its own folder structure.
• The component independent folder structure
stores project-specific information.
