AcceleratedSAP (ASAP) is SAP’s standard implementation methodology. It contains the ASAP Roadmap, a step-by-step guide with links to tools and services to assist all team members in implementing R/3.

ASAP is delivered as a PC-based package, so that you can begin your implementation project prior to having an R/3 System installed.

For further information on ASAP, see the AcceleratedSAP function brochure.

Enterprise modeling, that is mapping the enterprise structure you have (or plan to have) to R/3 organizational units and their structures, is also integrated in the ASAP Roadmap.

The Structure Modeler is the tool that SAP provides for portraying your enterprise structure. You can use the Structure Modeler to create and compare alternative structure scenarios and then choose the one that suits you best. It also lets you portray your enterprise structure as a distributed system infrastructure (for example, using ALE).

The following list indicates the phases, work packages, and activities in the ASAP Roadmap that deal with enterprise modeling:

You should also use graphical structure models for the following:

• Determining business processes and master data
• Reporting
• Training
• Documentation
• The quality check
