What
It Is Used For
SAP is the system of record for financial
accounting and reporting at MIT. It is also used by
departments, labs, and centers for requisitioning, journal
vouchers, and other financial and administrative tasks.
MIT developed and maintains SAPweb,
a web interface to SAP, offering much of the same functionality
as the SAPgui.
The Labor Distribution System (LDS), which is accessed
via SAP, was also developed at MIT. See the LDS
section.
For more information about SAP and resources available
to SAP users, see the SAP
for MIT web site.
Authorizations
& Access
Users must be authorized to access
SAP and have specific authorizations to perform particular
functions in SAP. For access and authorizations, contact
your department's Primary Authorizer.* See the list
of Primary
Authorizers.*
The SAP desktop software can be downloaded from the
web. See the SAPgui
Installers web page.
